Trump is monstrously corrupt. The likelihood is that corruption will spread out from the White House through corrupt political and business networks to infect the whole of America, and once corruption has infected a country it is immensely difficult to root it out.
James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer won’t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

When you begin a statement with "I am sorry that my choice of language has offended some people..." you are absolutely NOT apologising. You are trying to excuse yourself.
Jim Ratcliffe has issued a bland and generic statement about economic policy which does not engage at all with what he got wrong, or why saying the UK has been colonised has been legitimately criticised. Nor does he seem to retract his language of colonisation in gesturing towards a semi-apology
