Defeated GOP congressman appears to be in major financial trouble as he faces DOJ probe
Things continue to look grim for ex-Rep. Ross Spano. The Justice Department is still investigating the Florida Republican for campaign finance irregularities and he ultimately lost his Congressional seat in an August primary.
Now, in a sign that Spano's 2021 might not be much better than his 2020, his campaign revealed that it's heavily in legal debt with close to no money in the bank to pay it off.
President Donald Trump posted his final video as president of the United States saying that he set out to "make America great again" and that he's proud of what he achieved.
While in office, Trump oversaw thousands of immigrant children ripped from their parents and put in detention centers. He ignored the COVID-19 pandemic that has resulted in nearly 400,000 deaths nationwide. He was not only impeached, he's the only president in history to be impeached twice.
Trump 'spooked' away from pardoning his children and pro-insurrection lawmakers: report
During a lengthy meeting with his legal advisers, President Donald Trump was swayed away from pardoning his children as well as Republican lawmakers who encouraged insurrectionists at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
According to CNN.com, Trump along with Ivanka and Jared Kushner listened in as White House counsel Pat Cipollone and Eric Herschmann that the only way he could pardon himself, his family and the GOP members was if he listed out the crimes that were committed. Listing the crimes in the pardon would essentially give prosecutors a guide for how to charge the Trumps with state or civil crimes, which don't fall under the pardon.
