The Lincoln Project, the group founded by longtime GOP strategists who want to defeat President Donald Trump, continues to blast Trump over the reports he did nothing in response to Russia allegedly offering bounties for the killing of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
"Our efforts are aimed at persuading enough disaffected conservatives, Republicans and Republican-leaning independents in swing states and districts to help ensure a victory in the Electoral College, and congressional majorities that don’t enable or abet Mr. Trump’s violations of the Constitution, even if that means Democratic control of the Senate and an expanded Democratic majority in the House," group founders George T. Conway III, Steve Schmidt, John Weaver and Rick Wilson wrote in a December column announcing the group.
On Tuesday, the group continued to blast Trump over the Russian bounty scandal.
