Rep. Ted Lieu cc’d the FBI on a tweet about Trump potentially accepting a bribe for his 4th of July party.
Trump may have accepted a bribe to delay tariffs
Matt McDermott laid out how Trump delayed tariffs after he got some free fireworks for his 4th of July party:
(1) Fireworks CEO meets with Trump in Oval Office to oppose tariffs. (2) CEO announces ‘donation’ to Trump’s 4th of July event. (3) *That same day* Trump announces delay to very same tariffs. https://t.co/UDUSOm7mCB

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) responded by cc’ing the FBI on a potential presidential bribe:
If true, this could be a bribe or attempted bribe of @realDonaldTrump by CEO @brucezoldan and Phantom @Fireworks.

Trump was bribed with fireworks
If it turns out that Donald Trump was bribed with fireworks, it would the most Trump thing ever. Of course, Donald Trump would be too cheap to pay for his own fireworks, so he committed a felony to get them for free. That’s how Donald Trump has operated for his entire life, and his presidency is no different. The FBI should look into Trump’s shady 4th of July party, but House Democrats shouldn’t wait for a federal law enforcement investigation.
The Trump inauguration is already under criminal investigation.
If the House digs deep, they will find the same level of criminality and corruption inside of Trump’s 4th of July party.
