“There seems to be a consistent finding of impropriety associated with the administration.”
A Response from the Trump Administration
The White House has not yet publicly responded to the probe into the Trump Inaugural Committee. However, on Thursday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders announced that the investigation has nothing to do with the president or the first lady. Sanders then noted that Trump did not have direct involvement with the transitional process.
“The biggest thing the president did, his engagement in the inauguration, was to come here and raise his hand and take the oath of office. The president focused on the transition at that time and not on any of the planning for the inauguration.”
Investigations During the Trump Presidency
The probe into the Trump Inaugural Committee is not the first legal investigation since the Trump presidency. Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into whether or not the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in 2016 remains ongoing.
