The Justice Department is reviewing possible evidence of a secret scheme to obtain a presidential pardon in exchange for a "substantial political contribution," according to federal court records made public Tuesday.
The heavily redacted records, unsealed by U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, the chief judge in the D.C. district, did not identify possible suspects in the case but indicated that unnamed "senior White House officials" were the targets of the alleged plot.
Quite a lot has been going on:
How Social Security Invests Its Money – and Why It May Run Out of Cash Really Soon – NBC10
Less than half of Americans believe Social Security will be able to pay them a benefit when they retire, according to a recent Quinnipiac poll .
This is especially problematic, given that some 57% of retirees say Social Security is a major source of income in their retirement, far outpacing IRAs, 401(k)s and other work-sponsored pension plans.
In 2020 alone, $1 trillion in Social Security benefits will be disbursed to about 65 million people.
