His administration is crumbling with terminations and defections that have resulted in there being six cabinet members who are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=40051\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">serving in an <em>&#8220;acting&#8221;<\/em> capacity<\/a><\/strong> because he can&#8217;t find any credible people who will work for him.

That may change now that Democrats have the majority in the House of Representatives and there is some real oversight into Trump&#8217;s criminal activities.

In one he quoted Rep.
