White House scandals often seem to emerge from the shadows, like the ghost of administrations past. Take, for instance, the infamous Watergate break-in, the Iran-Contra affair, or the Ukraine saga that ensnared former President Trump. Each of these incidents stemmed from actions taken by individuals within the executive branch, resulting in political tremors that shook the foundations of governance.
In contrast, presidencies like those of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, which have maintained a relative scandal-free reputation, are akin to rare birds in a world full of squawking crows. It’s unusual to have an administration without some form of controversy bubbling beneath the surface.
