Or lied whenever he opened his mouth! The first president I remember well - and I've read his autobiography - was Jimmy Carter. And I remember that he promised never to lie to the American people - so the reaction of journalists was to focus on every statement he made, looking for some hint of untruth. So where were those journalists when TFG lied everytime he spoke??

They've known about that for a long time.

Yes, he has to answer for this, but let's not forget that he's also facing charges of tax evasion in New York, election interference in Georgia, then there are the matters of the theft of government classified documents and then the matter of attempting to overthrow the government. And I'm sure that I'm leaving out a few dozen more crimes.
