Sen. Chris Murphy Warns of 'Constitutional Crisis' Under Trump Administration

The Democratic senator accuses President Trump of undermining democratic principles and consolidating power for personal and political gain.

Sen. Chris Murphy described the current situation as the most serious constitutional crisis since Watergate during an interview on ABC's 'This Week.'
Murphy accused President Trump of attempting to seize control of government power for corrupt purposes, including rewarding allies and punishing opponents.
The senator highlighted concerns about the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), claiming its turmoil signals a broader push for a 'billionaire takeover of government.'
Murphy raised alarms about pardons for January 6 rioters, suggesting they endorse political violence and intimidate opposition.
He called for heightened public and legislative opposition, arguing that constitutional checks alone may not be sufficient to counter these actions.
