The Examination of the Trump Court Continues

This examination is part of an ongoing series exploring Trump’s inner circle that has shaped American politics for the past decade. From the financial entanglements of his children to the legal machinations of his advisors, from the media manipulation of his allies to the business dealings that blur the lines between public service and private gain, understanding today's political landscape requires looking beyond the daily headlines to examine the deeper patterns of behavior that define this era. Each profile in this series reveals how personal histories of deception, compromise, and transactional relationships have fundamentally altered the nature of American power—and why the past continues to haunt the present in ways that may yet reshape our political future.
