As each day goes by, more damning evidence reveals the multiple failures of the Trump administration’s inability to act on Russia’s tampering with the security of the United States.

President Donald Trump’s connections to Russia go back much farther than the 2016 presidential election, but the blatant disregard for national security since Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign began should cause concern for all Americans:
