David Brock Announces American Bridge Trump Administration Accountability War Room

One of the gravest concerns with respect to a Trump presidency is that Donald Trump will do what he’s done all his life, and prioritize enriching himself no matter who gets hurt in the process. Trump’s global network of hundreds of corporations create historically unprecedented conflicts of interest, the full extent of which have yet to become public given Trump’s equally unprecedented lack of transparency. Brock emphasized that American Bridge will put significant resources — using every means at its disposal — behind ensuring corruption does not run rampant in a Trump Administration. Brock added he hopes that like-minded Republicans, who similarly do not want Trump to exploit the Office of the Presidency to enrich himself, will join those efforts.

The Trump accountability war room will supplement American Bridge’s traditional research, communications, and rapid response operations — and the Democratic Party’s largest troves of Trump research, including 20,000 hours of video and audio — with new technology tools to hold Trump to account, beginning immediately with “an intensive effort to watchdog the Presidential transition.”

Finally, Brock detailed American Bridge’s plans to communicate its findings to Congress — where Democratic lawmakers can use Bridge’s findings to ensure proper oversight is conducted on Trump — as well as to “the news media, progressive allies, and to the public directly, including a targeted campaign to reach Trump’s own supporters, via social media and paid advertising.”
