Sen. Blumenthal on Investigations into Trump: There Has To Be Accountability in Terms of Criminal Prosecution

RUSH EXCERPT:
BLUMENTHAL: "It has to be both Nicolle. There has to be accountability in terms of criminal prosecution for people who benefited unlawfully. And I want to stress unlawfully from these schemes, taking money from foreign governments in the way that Donald Trump did is a violation of the law, the emoluments clause, and it’s potentially punishable not just to Donald Trump, although he does have immunity under the Supreme Court decision for what is happening right now. But to the people around him, the uncovering of the truth that the American people deserve is not only about Donald Trump, it is about witkoff and kushner. And yes, Hegseth and lutnick and others in the administration who also may have benefited from the sole source contracts going to Trump’s son sons through their financial interests. All of the web of corruption has to be uncovered so we can prevent it in the future. Pass legislation, stronger ethics laws, but also accountability in the future, probably under the next administration. Because I’m very clear, this Justice Department is not going to do much prosecuting."
