Mike Zamore, national director of policy & government affairs at the 老澳门开奖结果, issued the following statement:

鈥淣o president is above the law. The White House does not exist for 鈥榤e the president鈥 鈥 it exists for 鈥榳e the people.鈥

鈥淒onald Trump has made no secret of his disregard for the rule of law and his intent to corrupt the immense powers of the federal government to target his opponents and break the institutions that could pose checks and balances to presidential power.
