In a significant political development, former DHS Chief of Staff criticizes President Trump's order to investigate him following dissent. He submitted a formal complaint to federal watchdogs, arguing the order violates constitutional protections against targeting citizens for criticism. He reflects on previous warnings about Trump's authoritarian behavior, asserting that the real issue is the broader implications for free speech in democracy, as such actions could set dangerous precedents against dissent.
This is about whether we will allow the President of any political party to criminalize criticism. That's why this Inspector General complaint matters.
I warned that if Trump returned to power, he would use the presidency to punish his critics... the Trump White House has been busy proving my point.
