## Resource

Convicted Felon Donald Trump has created a $1.776 BILLION slush fund with American taxpayers' dollars that will have no oversight and over which Trump can exert control. Congressman Jamie Raskin and Katie Phang do a deep dive on this alleged “settlement agreement,” and why it’s obvious Trump is just rewarding his most loyal foot soldiers & maybe bankrolling yet another insurrection.
