Angling to move beyond the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, President Donald Trump has escalated his push to enact revenge on political foes with unfounded allegations of intelligence-tampering against Barack Obama and top members of the 44th president’s administration — triggering new alarms from Democrats.
Michigan Sen. Gary Peters on Wednesday criticized Trump and his team for a deploying a strategy that he said “breeds conspiracy theories and misinformation.”
“Our Republican colleagues are failing to conduct independent oversight of the administration,” added Peters, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee who is retiring next year.
