John -

The president and his allies keep saying that he didn’t commit any crime with his Ukraine conduct. But we looked closely, and according to our analysis, President Trump likely committed several crimes when he attempted to bribe Ukraine to influence the 2020 election.

President Trump clearly committed impeachable offenses when he asked Ukraine to go after his political rival, in exchange for crucial diplomatic meetings and millions in foreign aid. However, our new report, Criminal Abuse of Power, demonstrates that not only were these offenses impeachable conduct, he also likely violated several criminal laws. If you, or any other citizen, behaved the way he did, you would likely be facing substantial prison time.

The publicly available evidence, which includes thousands of pages of witness testimony as part of the ongoing impeachment inquiry, indicates that President Trump likely committed crimes including bribery and misappropriation of funds. While the Constitution does not require that the president commit crimes to warrant impeachment and removal from office, the fact that Trump seems to have so brazenly broken laws bolsters the already strong case for his impeachment and removal from office.

Read our report here, and if you can, contribute now to support more cutting-edge legal and research work like this report.

I’ll close with one simple reminder: criminality is never the standard to which the president should be compared. Yet, several times now, we have had to answer “yes” to the question of whether President Trump broke the law. The only question now is, will we allow him to operate above the law?

I hope you will join me in a resounding “no.”

Thank you,
