Elizabeth Warren Says Companies That Settled With Trump May Have Committed Bribery
“During his second term in office, several major media organizations have settled lawsuits brought by President Donald Trump. The lawsuits have little or no merit, and the settlements clearly seem like payoffs meant to hold off a vengeful president. Now Senate Democrats are investigating whether the settlements amount to bribery.
…
Legal or not, it’s completely inappropriate for the sitting president to sue media companies he doesn’t like and use the levers of government to force them to settle. While it may not meet the statutory definition of bribery, lawmakers are right to probe both the administration and the companies Trump has targeted.”
