Ex-Trump Officials Warn of 'End of Democracy' in Potential Second Term

Former White House staffers express concerns over Trump's rhetoric and actions, vow to prioritize democracy over partisan interests in upcoming election.

Three former White House officials, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sarah Matthews and Cassidy Hutchinson, have warned against the potential consequences of a second term for former President Donald Trump, stating it could signify 'the end of American democracy as we know it'.
The trio expressed concerns about Trump's continued claims of election fraud, his increasingly erratic rhetoric, and his suggestions about weaponizing the Justice Department against his political enemies.
Despite their political affiliations, the former officials stated they would prioritize democracy over partisan interests in the upcoming election, even if it means voting for a Democrat.
The women, who testified before the House Jan. 6 committee, have faced threats and harassment from Trump and his followers since speaking out against him.
Trump has responded to their criticisms by calling them 'ungrateful grifters' and accusing them of betraying him for personal gain.
