In the final days of his administration, President Barack Obama told a group of reporters that the country could bail fast enough to be okay, but that two terms would be a problem.

The off-the-record conversation that was held just three days before Trump would assume the presidency came to light after the Justice Department released a set of documents related to a Freedom of Information Act request.

During his talk with the journalists, Obama expressed concern about the eight years of Trump being in the White House.

Key elements of Obama's White House tenure were the focus of Trump's campaign.

Four years is alright. At the time, Obama said that they could bail fast enough to be okay.

It would be a problem. I would be concerned about a sustained period in which some of these norms have begun to degrade.

Trump held "Save America" rallies after he lost to Joe Biden. A majority or near-majority of the vote in a GOP primary would be enough for him to win the presidency.

New York Attorney General Tish James filed a civil lawsuit against the former president, the Trump Organization, and three of his children, as well as a criminal inquiry in Georgia regarding his attempts to influence the 2020 presidential election results.

While the committee can't bring criminal charges against the former president, they can recommend a criminal referral to the Department of Justice.
