This is a corruption story.

Plain and simple.

Trump administration is a corruption story.

It's the great grift.

And it's taking shape on a daily basis in every way, shape.

We're talking about the kind of corruption at scale we've never seen in our lifetime,

including what Wickoff family's doing, what the Kushner family's doing.

This is happening at a scale we've never

experienced in our lifetime, and he's just winding up. Hi, everyone. It is 5 o'clock in New York.

I'm Eman Mojideen in for Nicole Wallace today. It is outstanding. Even in Trump's adjusted terms,

Donald Trump's attempt to turn the office of the presidency

into his own personal gold leaf-covered piggy bank for him, his friends, his family.

And Donald Trump doesn't even bother to hide his desire anymore to extract taxpayer dollars

from the American government. As the New York Times puts it,

quote, it is hard to imagine that any previous president would have thought that he could

engage in such an audacious act of self-dealing. Sue the government that he runs, then

settle the lawsuit with himself by borrowing the Internal Revenue Service from auditing his

past returns.

And as part of that deal, hand over $1.8 billion of taxpayer money to his allies.

President Trump has used the federal government to advance his own personal interests

and those of his family and allies more expansively and openly than any past occupants of the White House.

Any review of history would suggest that it is not even close.
