Warning flags about the Trump administration and alleged corruption
Consider ThisIn recent days, the news has been filled with some eyebrow-raising choices by the Trump administration.
Like the disclosure of thousands of stock trades, being granted immunity from IRS audits, and the DOJ's nearly $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund.
These actions have raised questions from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
Michael Waldman, president and CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice, a non-partisan legal think tank, says these actions amount to "corruption in plain sight."
