As Biden settles into the White House, fallout from Trump’s presidency continues to surface with damning revelations.
Donald Trump, now residing at his Florida resort, is facing fresh scrutiny as reports of his final days in office highlight chaotic and controversial actions. The New York Times revealed that Trump allegedly conspired with a Department of Justice official to oust the acting attorney general and pressure Georgia Republicans to overturn his election loss.
Meanwhile, former acting U.S. Defense Secretary Christopher Miller admitted in an interview with Vanity Fair that his priorities upon taking office in November included avoiding a military coup, major war, or deploying troops in the streets. However, the Capitol riot on January 6 shattered one of those goals, as troops were ultimately deployed.
These revelations add to the turmoil surrounding Trump, whose Senate impeachment trial for incitement of insurrection is set to begin in two weeks. As Biden’s administration looks to move forward, the lingering repercussions of Trump’s presidency remain a stark reminder of the political and institutional challenges the nation has faced.
