Wolf: What hasn’t been discussed publicly, to my knowledge, is the fact that, in my opinion, President Trump committed a crime in negotiating the settlement agreement in this case and it’s possible that Mr. Blanche would be found to be a co-conspirator in that crime. Let me try to explain…

The perception of corruption surrounding everything this administration does is staggering. A 26-person law firm with no immigration experience just got a $150 million no-bid contract from HHS to represent migrant kids facing deportation — and surprise surprise, the firm is close to Trump.
