The New York Times put together a comprehensive list of federal, state, and congressional investigations linked to Donald Trump and it is certainly ... illuminating ... to see it all in one place. By the Times' reckoning, there are 29 such investigations underway at present. Of those, 10 are for possible federal crimes, eight others are state or local (most in Trump's home state of New York), and 11 are congressional works in progress.
Nearly all fall into three distinct groups. There are multiple investigations into the grift machine surrounding Trump, centered mostly around Trump's inaugural committee and the gobs of still-unaccounted for money that sloshed through it, but also on potential improprieties in who has been granted security clearances and on the administration's very curious attempts to boost Saudi Arabian efforts to acquire nuclear technology.
There are numerous investigations as to whether the current president has been a lifelong tax dodge, bank and insurance fraudster, money launderer, and committed other financial crimes. Numerous. Trump's status as a still-unindicted Individual 1 in a hush money scheme during his own presidential campaign may not be the capper of that lot, but is the most developed; Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and his prosecutors now appear to agree that Trump himself ordered that a criminal action take place.
And then, of course, there痴 Russia, its actions to boost Trump in his presidential election, and Trump's robust and ongoing efforts to keep federal investigators from delving too deeply into his campaign and administration's own solicitations and responses.
