SANCTIONS
Trump’s administration is considering lifting sanctions against Russia , sparking suspicion that the U.S president is aligning itself with Putin’s notorious regime, and may have done so before the elections. Trump’s son -in- law is the president’s mist trusted adviser and would have the president’s best interest at heart.
CHARGE
However, whether Trunks son- in- law is guilty of the charge accused also has to be proved. If it is , it will have wide-reaching ramifications for the president. The ongoing investigation into the U.S president ‘ s potential link with the Kremlin is an ongoing one which has not produced anything concrete enough to implicate the president of his representatives.
Critics believe the net is closing in, but President Trump is still in the throne and hasn’t yet shown any signs of breaking down.
