Release the full guest list

This level of corruption is absolutely unprecedented in the United States. It’s the kind of thing you’d see from Putin and his oligarchs, and it’s easy to see why Trump thinks so highly of him. Trump hosted more than 200 people for dinner at the White House on Thursday night, behind the preside…
