Ex-White House Ethics Lawyer Accuses Donald Trump Of ‘Nakedly Illegal Action’
HuffPost
Norm Eisen also detailed how the president is delivering on a chilling campaign pledge, and then some.
Norm Eisen explained this weekend how he believes Donald Trump — during the president’s first week back in the White House — is fulfilling his campaign promise to act like a “dictator.”
Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in December 2023 that he’d be authoritarian in nature only on “day one” of his return to office.
But Trump has “carried that forward through the entire week,” Eisen, the former Obama White House ethics lawyer, told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki.
Trump’s Friday overnight firings of independent inspector generals “is a nakedly illegal action,” argued Eisen, who noted how they appeared to flout federal law of Congress requiring 30 days’ notice of and explanation for such a dismissal.
And it’s just one way in which Trump is “testing and pushing the limits,” Eisen continued, adding the president’s attempt to eliminate birthright citizenship to that list. That move is being challenged legally.
