Are there any foreign investors in his crypto scam? Did he place his businesses someone else's control when he took office this time? I guess the new "thinking" goes "well he didn't do it in his first term, so we'll let him get away with it again." This is just another in your face, blatant act of corruption. Impeach him, already!!
