Nothing can constrain Trump? Warren: No. Republicans have the majority. They could constrain Trump on war, slimy tax deals, on his corruption. The list is long.

The U.S. Attorney believes that a "public rebuke" and an internal review are sufficient for egregious prosecutorial misconduct that put my family through hell. My seven-year-old is still having nightmares and panic attacks related to this case. Justice requires transparency and accountability.
