Washington: On Sunday, the Supreme Democratic Party leader warned that President Donald Trump’s efforts to pursue his political opponents were making the United States a path to a dictatorship and a “banana republic.”

Hillary Clinton, a former U.S. Secretary of State and Trump’s White House challenger, responded to Schumer’s criticism, calling his move a “very dangerous shift in our politics.” “What we hear now from the White House and its supporters is that you know, that could lead to further political action, legal action, premise action, all kinds of intimidation,” Clinton said.
