Dick Cheney calls Donald Trump the ‘biggest threat ever to our republic’
Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to address a “Save America” rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin Friday night, the same day the Republican National Committee chose Milwaukee as the venue for the party’s 2024 meeting.
Focusing on regaining Wisconsin in the upcoming presidential election after Trump’s surprise victory in the state in 2016, making him the first Republican to win there since Ronald Reagan in 1984. President Joe Biden regained the state for the Democratic Party in 2020.
In related news, lawyers representing Trump have reportedly been in touch with the Department of Justice in hopes of shielding conversations with his former advisers from a criminal investigation into his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Earlier, the investigators leading the federal investigation sued former White House counsel Peter Navarro to recover emails related to the investigation into Trump’s role.
The investigation also summoned former White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputy, Patrick Philbin. It is believed that the chancellor’s office was decisive in refusing to allow the former president to politicize the legal apparatus of the executive branch to secure a second term.
