It may be President Trump in the sights of congressional investigators pursuing impeachment. But every day, it becomes clearer he's not acting alone.
The circle of men who surround the President have shown ample willingness to fuel and fulfill his drive to meld politics and foreign policy. They have mounted a staunch defense not just of him but of their own behavior in the wake of a whistleblower complaint about a July call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. What exactly they knew about Trump's efforts to solicit dirt on political rivals is still becoming clear.

His role is under further scrutiny in light of the whistleblower's complaint that the State Department was working to minimize fallout from Giuliani's backchannel actions.
