Summary
Sen. Elizabeth Warren accused President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team of violating the Presidential Transition Act by failing to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement, a law Warren helped author.
Her comments follow a CNN report suggesting that Trump’s team has withheld necessary transition agreements from the Biden administration due to conflict-of-interest concerns.
Rep. Jamie Raskin also criticized Trump’s refusal to engage in standard transition protocols, warning it could disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. Trump’s actions break a precedent set by presidential candidates since 2010.
Only records trump is breaking are assassination attempts and impeachments.
Seeing a lot of defeatist postings going on here, but I want to remind people that if we stop caring about this turd breaking the law, then the bar for all politicians drops lower. These things matter, even if nothing will ever come of it.
I don’t think it’s healthy to constantly track Trump’s immoral or illegal behavior. Although someone needs to keep track of his actions and I believe in having an informed electorate, it’s not healthy to get upset at all the shit he does
Since when has the law applied to Trump?
laws don’t matter in an unjust society. go fuck an orange Warren. too little too late. fuck this country.
