🚨TRUMP ACCUSED OF VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW WITH ALLEGED CALL TO NETANYAHU
Trump has been accused of potentially violating federal law by allegedly calling Netanyahu to discuss a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
While Netanyahu’s office denies the call, American Muckrakers has filed a request with the DOJ and State Department to investigate the matter under the Logan Act, which prohibits unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments.

When Trump Jr. visited Hungary in June and talked to their Prime Minister about “how we can make Hungarian-US relations great again, as they were under the presidency of @realDonaldTrump”, the Logan Act was being mentioned.
I had never heard of it before, but apparently, no one’s been charged with violating the act even though there’s been instances where they could have. So unfortunately, I wouldn’t get my hopes up about this with Trump now actually leading to any jail time. Maybe a fine?
Hatch Act. Emoluments clause. You would be better off listing things that haven’t been violated.
