Donald Trump won the election, and we don't know whether he colluded - but he's not a legitimate president We know for sure Trump wants to shut down the Russia investigation, and that's more than enough to disgrace him Here's the biggest problem in discussing President Donald Trump's ongoing Russia scandal: Everyone has a bias, and there's no such thing as a neutral party. For many Democrats, there is the bias of wanting to retroactively vindicate Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, despite her shocking loss in the November election.
