Public Officials Who Betray the Public Trust Pay the Price—So Should the President
Thousands of public officials lost their jobs after facing public corruption charges similar to what Trump has already admitted.
Trump’s Constitutional Crisis
Our country has reached a breaking point. Trump provided the country with proof that he used the federal government to extort a foreign leader, pressing him to attack Trump’s political opponent and inviting foreign interference in our electoral process.
