"falsifying New York business records in order to conceal damaging information and unlawful activity from American voters before and after the 2016 election."
"Trump may be the first former president to face criminal prosecution, but that fact in and of itself is a damning condemnation of the U.S. system of impunity."'s Jeremy Scahill, but it"is not evidence that our much-vaunted justice system can actually be applied fairly and evenly to all, even a former president."
Pointing to former U.S. President George W. Bush; his vice president, Dick Cheney; and Henry Kissinger, who served as secretary of state and national security adviser in the Nixon and Ford administrations, he asserted,"The truth is that all of them should be serving substantial prison sentences for directing and orchestrating the gravest of criminal activity: war crimes."
