In 2016, I was the general counsel to the Clinton campaign. In 2022, Trump sued me and others for RICO. The case was dismissed. Trump and his lawyers were sanctioned. Now, they have asked SCOTUS to hear the case. I will never back down. I will never stop fighting. When we fight we win.💪⚖️🗳️

Trump’s plan to save the midterms is…help Russia. The Trump-Vance-Kushner-Witkoff approach to the war has always been weaken Ukraine so they bow down to Putin. It hasn’t worked. With nearly two years of this, Ukraine has shown it can thwart ground offensives and strike Russian oil without US help.
