Norman Eisen: “It's an abuse of the public interest for private gain that is very like the pattern in the White House.”

This is part and parcel of Donald Trump's M.O., abusing the public trust for his own personal gain.

If he were elected to a second term, this time, he might do damage that would be irreparable.

I urge the Committee, with all respect, to focus on the most imminent threat of that weaponization now facing us as a Nation: Donald Trump's record of weaponizing the government and his promises to double down should he return to power.

The former President has even admitted he will be a dictator if he returns to the presidency.
