Biggest Highlights
One of the biggest controversies was the Russian probe. Many believed that Trump was involved in tampering with the election outcome.
At this point nothing was found to directly implicate him. Yet it was worrying how many of his campaign team members were guilty of communication with Russia.
This particular controversy was expected to continue into next year.
Then there was the awful sexual misconduct cases plaguing Congress and the President. The allegations ripped apart the film industry with big names facing accusations. This saw multiple shows being cancelled or persons getting fired.
The allegations affected electoral races; most significant was that of Roy Moore and Doug Jones. Big names facing allegations were Al Franken and John Conyers.
It was also reported that Congress paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in settlements.
Many other events took place but these were some of the biggest by far.
