Hakeem Jeffries: Critical for Those Around Donald Trump to Make It Clear to the President that We Don’t Live in a Dictatorship

‘Hopefully the White House counsel will make that clear to him as we move forward so the investigation can move forward without any interference from the president’

RUSH EXCERPT:

JEFFRIES: "I certainly know it’s a tough role. It’s not clear if he’s doing a good job or not. There are many things happening from this trump White House I disagree with. I think the best grade is “I” for incomplete. I think it’s critical for those around Donald Trump to make it clear to the president that we don’t live in a dictatorship, we live in a constitutional form of democracy and there are certain norms that are consistent with the founding fathers as to how our republic proceeds. He doesn’t get to go around and dictate how things are going to unfold in terms of policy and certainly with a criminal investigation. And hopefully the White House counsel will make that clear to him as we move forward so the investigation can move forward without any interference from the president."
