The Democratic Coalition — the political group that filed anย ethics complaint against Donald Trump over the weekendย — has filed a second complaint with the Department of Justice Tuesday, TheWrap has learned.
The group is asking the DOJ whether the president violatedย federal law when heย called on NFL owners to fire players who kneel in protest during the national anthem.
“Since there are both ethical and criminal components to President Trump’s actions in this case, we have filed formal complaints with both OGE and DOJ,” Democratic Coalition chairman Jon Cooper told TheWrap. “Considering the serious nature of this matter, it is our expectation that the complaints will receive full and fair consideration by both agencies.”
