🚨TRUMP ACCUSED OF VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW WITH ALLEGED CALL TO NETANYAHU

Trump has been accused of potentially violating federal law by allegedly calling Netanyahu to discuss a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.

While Netanyahu’s office denies the call, American Muckrakers has filed a request with the DOJ and State Department to investigate the matter under the Logan Act, which prohibits unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments.

    The supreme court’s immunity decision on presidential behavior doesn’t apply, obviously. But a private citizen is entitled to conversations with foreign leaders. Classic loophole, Mr. Reagan. Next thing the media will say is a developer from Long Island named Turnip tjhfihfhihfihcihxihdihfihfohfohfojfojfhfihcihv

      Theyre entitled to conversations about cats and baseball but not conversations that involve ongoing negotiations and foreign policy decisions on behalf of a government they’re not a part of.
