John, it seems that Donald Trump will try ANYTHING to avoid being held accountable for stashing White House documents – including classified files – at Mar-a-Lago.
His latest gambit? Trying to get the Supreme Court to intervene in the Justice Department’s investigation. [1]
That’s right: Trump wants the country’s highest court to disregard the rule of law – and slow down an investigation into how his potentially criminal conduct threatened our national security.
If you believe that Trump shouldn’t be able to use stall tactics and distractions to evade full accountability, add your name today >>
I’m sure you’ll remember that earlier this year, the FBI searched Trump’s Florida resort and recovered over a hundred stashed White House documents, some of which were classified and contained national security information. Soon after, the Department of Justice launched an investigation into Trump’s multiple potential violations of federal law.
But every step of the way, the ex-president has tried to interfere with, slow down, and discredit this crucial investigation.
First, he demanded that a “special master” – or a third-party individual who’d be tasked with reviewing the seized documents – be brought on to stall the proceedings until after this fall’s midterms.
And now, he wants the Supreme Court – and the three justices that he himself appointed – to help gum up the process even further.
Sign the Petition: Trump should not get any special treatment. The DOJ’s investigation into his potentially illegal conduct must be thorough and unobstructed.
John, no matter what Trump says, he is NOT above the law. His efforts to bury the truth are simply outrageous – and we deserve a transparent, comprehensive investigation.
