Hey, do you remember when the Trump campaign promised the media that they would release a video of what happened at Arlington Cemetery, which would prove Trump campaign staffers didn’t assault a cemetery employee? Did we get the video?

So, the same Republicans who spent years & tens of millions of our tax dollars demanding to see the contents of a laptop belonging to Joe Biden’s private citizen son, don’t want to see the ethics report on the former Congressman Trump wants to make our nation’s Attorney General?
