I just taught my lecture course on mid-20th c US history, which starts with Harding and concludes with Nixon.

Trump on Brown University: You would really have to ask the school about that because this was a school problem. They had their own guards, their own police, their own everything but you would have to ask that question to the school and not to the FBI.
