This week as impeachment against Trump officially began a flurry of new documents and statements implicated Trump directly in trying to block aid to Ukraine, which the GAO recently determined to be a violation of the law. Meanwhile, Trump also came under investigation for their corrupt “opportunity zone” program, and was sued by the ACLU for its asylum agreement with Guatemala.
