Implications of a Private Settlement

The chapter explores a private settlement made by a prominent figure that was misconstrued as exoneration, touching on the implications of avoiding a trial and potential breach of a non-disparagement clause. It also discusses the figure's influence in the conservative movement and the expanding reach of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). The chapter transitions to foreign interference in elections, focusing on Russian and Chinese influence, disinformation campaigns, and potential impacts on democracy.
