Suddenly, on January 3, 2018, the White House announced that the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity was shutting down. The White House press office tried to explain the move by saying that the Department of Homeland Security could continue the Commission’s work. That never happened.
The backstory was that the plug was pulled on the Commission by Pence and his staff. President Trump and the commissioners weren’t even informed in advance. This was another of President Trump’s priorities quietly sabotaged by the Swamp.
