Donald Trump has been accused of violating federal law by allegedly calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the ceasefire deal the U.S. is helping negotiate between Israel and Hamas.
The former president allegedly made the call on August 14, according to Axios, which cited two unnamed “U.S. sources who were briefed on the call.”

If Trump did make the call, he would potentially be breaking the law as the Logan Act, enacted in 1799, prohibits unauthorized private citizens from negotiating with foreign governments on behalf of the U.S.
American Muckrakers, an organization that states it seeks to hold politicians and officials accountable, has filed a request with the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of State.
See now there is something. Maybe not hanged, but detained and cut off so he can’t subverting the government seems pretty reasonable as an official act. Just have him acquired and sent to a black site without telling the public. I am sure the patriot act covers that somehow. And when it eventually gets out, it was an official act to protect the cease fire negotiations.
