May 18: President Donald Trump
bemoaned what he called the "single greatest witch hunt" in political history
Thursday, after the appointment of a special counsel to investigate any
links between his 2016 campaign and Russia. His complaints contrasted sharply
with the near universal [conservative and liberal] welcome in Washington for
Robert Mueller, the former FBI director picked for the special counsel post
Wednesday by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

December 18: Poor Vetting Sinks Trump’s
Nominees for Federal Judge ... One of President Trump’s federal judge nominees
has withdrawn after he was unable to answer basic questions during his
confirmation hearing about the courtroom process, showed little familiarity with
federal trial rules and acknowledged that he had never prosecuted or defended a
case.
Mr. Petersen’s withdrawal over the weekend was the third nomination by Mr. Trump
to collapse in recent days. Last week, the White House pulled back two other
Federal District Court nominees who had attracted controversy, Jeff Mateer and
Brett Talley. Mr. Talley also had scant trial experience and apparently defended
the early Ku Klux Klan under a pseudonym on a sports website. Mr. Mateer once
described transgender children as proof of “Satan’s plan.”

January 19: Carl Higbie, who was appointed
by President Trump to serve in the federal agency that runs AmericCorps and
other volunteer service programs, has resigned his high-level post and
apologized after a report emerged quoting racist and anti-Muslim remarks he made
in 2013.
Ranging from callous to provocative and often tipping into bigotry, Higbie's
comments were unearthed by
CNN's KFile unit, which published audio clips taken from the Internet talk
radio program Sound of Freedom, which Higbie hosted, and other sources.
In addition to their bigotry, many of the remarks promulgated outright
falsehoods.
