WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

There are levels of corruption, and then there's whatever the hell this is. Donald Trump is demanding that American taxpayers pay him $230 million for being prosecuted. Which is like getting a speeding ticket and then billing the state for the cost of your traffic lawyer. Except in this case, the traffic lawyer is now the judge, and the judge gets to decide how much the state pays you and you get to approve it all, and somehow this is all legal because we've apparently given up on the concept of shame.

President Trump is demanding that the DOJ pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.
Any settlement will ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.
