Warning flags about the Trump administration and alleged corruption
15 min•25 maj 2026

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."
