The story so far is yet to begin at the presidential west wing given series of controversies that have prevaricated the Trump administration.  No doubt, the issue are enormous as the American people watched closely with keen interest. The big battle continues irrespective of whose names gets into the troubled sheet at the president's oval office, but yet again, the scandals hover around just one name and that becomes the 44th president of the United States.

It's well over six months after the much-anticipated election ended, yet the talks and seemingly investigation into one of the most controversial electoral combat still continues to linger on with both sides of the divide making out a case for themselves. The election which was greeted with so much interest both within and outside the U.S shores, had so much expectation as the international community watched diligently with folded arms.  As for those on the sidelines, it was an election which could either mar or make their future as they also await the intense electoral combat come to its climax with an eventual winner. Though, not so many saw what eventually came as the last minute's winner, but what majority of Americans including the international community decided, made more sense than meet the open eye. Indeed, "Something went wrong somewhere", and they meant it as said. Six months after such conclusion and thorough findings, FBI director James Comey would
