Trump Ally Hints at Obama, Biden, and Clinton Investigations

For years, Republican lawyer Mike Davis has advocated for federal criminal investigations into prominent Democrats. Attorney General Pam Bondi recently approved several investigations, including those targeting New York Attorney General Letitia James and Senator Adam Schiff, potentially aligning with Davis’s goals. These actions, coupled with a probe into Obama administration officials, are viewed by Davis as steps toward holding Democrats accountable for alleged conspiracies against former President Trump.
