Conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo arranged for the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to be paid tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work just over a decade ago, specifying that her name be left off billing paperwork, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post. Leo's organization had issues before the Supreme Court.
From The Washington Post:
Two of Donald Trump's employees moved boxes of papers the day before FBI agents and a prosecutor visited the former president's Florida home to retrieve classified documents in response to a subpoena " timing that investigators have come to view as suspicious and an indication of possible obstruction, according to people familiar with the matter.
Trump and his aides also allegedly carried out a "dress rehearsal" for moving sensitive papers even before his office received the May 2022 subpoena, according to the people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a sensitive ongoing investigation.
Prosecutors in addition have gathered evidence indicating that Trump at times kept classified documents in his office in a place where they were visible and sometimes showed them to others, these people said.

Never forget, Republicans are responsible for the majority of the national debt.

In only 4 years, Trump & the GOP managed to add 25% of U.S. government debt since George Washington.
This in the middle of a "roaring economy" he inherited from Obama, who restored our economy with ZERO help from the GOP.
"Trickle Down" should just be taken literally; GOP gives 3 rounds of massive tax cuts, leave America heavily in debt, whine about the debt THEY created, and take a leak on the rest of us.
