I saw Trump attempt to sway the testimony of a witness in real time during the first impeachment. We heard witness testimony that suggested Trump sent a message to her prior to the Jan 6 Committee hearings in an attempt to influence her testimony. He has the ethics of a mob boss.

This is the problem with the far right Republicans. They are too busy creating imaginary problems to deal with the real ones.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida is currently under water. Insurance companies are abandoning the state. There's a catastrophic teacher shortage.
