The Trump Administration has implemented a daring plan that will allow it to sabotage Democratic efforts to investigate the administration if Democrats take over Congress. Furthermore, this extends to “direct advisers” communication with outside advisers. The memo, signed by Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser, broadly defines the term “private advisers.” Punchbowl News notes that this opinion would allow Trump or any other president to protect massive amounts of communication from congressional scrutiny. The DOJ’s new memo could allow the Trump administration to withhold records from Trump-linked businesses in multiple circumstances.
