The allegations against Graham Platner in the Politico story are extremely serious and I am withdrawing my support.
The Department failed to respond to Congress, and instead, on May 18, 2026, announced that it had settled an unrelated IRS lawsuit with President Trump to create a $1.8 billion slush fund to compensate alleged victims of DOJ…
Although a federal judge has enjoined the slush fund, there are other plans to undermine the American justice system to pay out January 6 rioters, including those convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers.
This is waste, and it treats a national memorial to President Kennedy as if it were a private renovation project.
