Former U.S. President Barack Obama pointedly says nobody was jailed during his administration, as President Donald Trump faces multiple investigations and scandals.
Former U.S. President Barack Obama told an audience in Brazil that his two-term White House administration showed power does not necessarily have to corrupt those who wield it, alluding to Lord Acton’s famous quote: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
President Trump came to power off the back of a campaign that promised it would “drain the swamp,” portraying himself as the man to clean up Washington of the corruption that tarnished it. He has since been dogged by accusations of corruption himself. The Mueller report also laid out evidence that the president attempted multiple times to obstruct justice, fuelling the demands among many of his opponents and even some within the Republican Party that Congress move soon to impeach Trump.
One example is the president’s daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump's pursuit of patents in China while her father engages in a trade war with Beijing, which the campaign group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington suggested was a conflict of interest.
