“Shocking discovery” rocking the white house

House Nancy Pelosi says the Trump administration’s move to seize data from two Democrats goes “even beyond Richard Nixon”.

This follows the New York Times reporting that Trump officials have subpoenaed Apple for the data of accounts belonging to Democrats who sit on the House Intelligence Committee.

This is in response to the administration wanting to get to the bottom of who previously leaked classified information.

However, Nancy Pelosi believes “it is about undermining the rule of law”.

“What the administration did, the Justice Department, the leadership of the former President goes even beyond Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon had an enemies list. This is about undermining the rule of law,” Pelosi told CNN.

“How could it be that there could be an investigation of members of the other branch of government and the press and the rest, too, and the attorneys general did not know? So who are these people? And are they still in the Justice Department?
she said.

“This is just out of the question, no matter who’s president, whatever party, this cannot be the way it goes.”

“It’s a shocking discovery”

“This does go beyond Richard Nixon,” Wolpe says.

Swalwell told Don Lemon that the officials and relatives “were targeted punitively — not for any reason in law, but because Donald Trump identified Chairman Schiff and members of the committee as an enemy.”

Wolpe says that this has not happened before, the people are determined to get to the bottom of it.

“It shows the corruption of justice under President Trump, as he went after and tried to undermine his political enemies.”

Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app TikTok.

TikTok users could soon find that the popular social media service is either under new ownership or could be outright banned in the U.S.

Calls are growing louder from many lawmakers and national security hawks to ban TikTok, over fears the app could censure content, influence users, and give Americans’ personal data to Beijing.

But the Chinese tech company, ByteDance—which owns TikTok— denies the allegations.

Dave Levinthal, the Editor-in-Chief of Raw Story joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
