Post navigation The Mayor of Portland, Oregon, Ted Wheeler, was teargassed by federal agents while standing alongside protestors against police brutality. The mayor, who has previously asked the federal agents to leave Portland, has condemned their “broad use of military tactics”. President Trump has defended the federal agents, believing they are protecting federal property and law & order. Congressman Adam Schiff has suggested that President Trump’s upcoming court appearances should be nationally televised. This proposal seeks to increase transparency and accountability for the President in the midst of multiple investigations. Broadcasting these hearings could create a powerful lesson for the public about protecting the rule of law.
