Former Trump lawyer adds name to open letter calling out president as a ‘despot”

A wide range of former lawmakers from both sides of the aisle, as well as ex-White House officials who served in Donald Trump's first administration, have signed on to a open-letter criticizing him over his retribution campaign.
Coming on the heels of the president ordering his Department of Justice to investigate two former officials, Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs, who served under him during his first stint on the Oval Office, the letter alleges he has put the country on the path to "a dangerous escalation in the abuse of presidential power: weaponizing federal agencies to carry out personalized retribution against named individuals."

Notable among the signatories in the letter that likened the president to a “royal despot,” is Ty Cobb who previously served as Trump's personal lawyer.
According to a report from the NY Times, "Mr. Trump’s executive orders also revoked the security clearances of people and institutions affiliated with Mr. Krebs and Mr. Taylor, and called for investigations into their government tenures. The letter, signed by more than 200 people, criticized those actions as part of a 'profoundly unconstitutional break' with precedent."
In the letter, which can be viewed here, they explained, "the President’s actions not only evoke some of the worst moments in our history; they go even further. For a president to personally and publicly direct the levers of the federal government against publicly named citizens for political reasons sets a new and perilous precedent in our republic."

Across the Potomac River in D.C., Bluebird Sky Yoga co-owner Kristine Erickson has seen a slowdown in people seeking yearlong memberships," adding, "Sales at Cork Wine Bar & Market, a restaurant on a bustling stretch of 14th Street, fell about 15% to 20% in February compared with the same month last year, said co-owner Diane Gross. March sales were helped by a 'tariff sale' of bottles of wine but still ended down around 10%."
The report continued, "Oxford Economics projects gross domestic product in the Washington, D.C., metro area will fall 0.5% over the course of this year.
