Leo J. Wise, a former federal prosecutor, is speaking out about the Trump administration and what he describes as corrupt practices, asking pointedly whether some of its conduct is illegal. In his remarks, Wise argues that the Supreme Court, through rulings since the 1980s, has effectively legalized corruption in American politics, narrowing the legal tools available to prosecutors.
Why now: Ongoing debate over the Trump administration's conduct and the Supreme Court's role in weakening anti-corruption law keeps the issue prominent.
