Some of the Democratic Party’s core political groups are preparing for the possibility President Donald Trump’s allies may soon launch criminal investigations that could handicap Democratic infrastructure.

A staffer on Herschel Walker's Republican Senate campaign has filed a lawsuit against prominent conservative activist Matt Schlapp, accusing Schlapp of groping him during a car ride in Georgia before last year’s midterm election.

But as the Senate prepares for an impeachment trial for Trump's incitement of the riot, few seem willing to hold the former president accountable. “The political winds within the Republican Party have blown in the opposite direction,” said Ralph Reed, chair of the Faith and Freedom Coalition and a Trump ally. After Michigan Rep. Peter Meijer backed impeachment, Republican Tom Norton announced a primary challenge. “We’re getting ready for an impeachment trial — that’s really the focus,” said Trump adviser Jason Miller. And that his political activism or whatever role he would play going forward would be with the Republican Party, not as a third party,” Cramer said.
