"Washington’s gladiators are moving beyond Mueller’s investigation of criminal conspiracy and obstruction of justice and into equally, if not even more crucial, questions about whether the Oval Office and policy-making are captives of Trump’s own greed and business relationships"
"In that context, what’s taking shape isn’t about voyeurism and improper peeking into the Trump Organization’s vaults. It’s about getting a clear grasp of whether Trump is financially compromised and if he is putting the presidency and the public interest at risk because of it."
