Opinion: A series of recent reports on President Trump’s finances raises reasonable questions about whether Trump may have committed criminal conduct. The fallout also exposes a glaring hole in Joe Biden’s criminal justice platform

after the last financial crisis. Which is why taking a more outspoken stand makes all the more sense for Joe Biden. There is even good reason to believe—as a strictly political matter—that doing so could draw the support of people from both the tough-on-crime right and. It is an issue not nearly as ideologically polarizing as the race and policing questions that have dominated the campaign.

What should Biden do? He could start by proposing to initiate a uniform federal effort to collect data on the national prevalence of financial crime, which, unlike for, does not yet exist. Ensuring the right people are in positions of power in the Justice Department would obviously be important too, but the administration under Biden could also issue a directive to local U.S.

As for Trump, in a properly functioning Justice Department, his tax avoidance, global financial entanglements, andalready would have attracted the attention of prosecutors. In fairness to the president, it is too soon to conclude that he has committed any crimes. That said, there would be more than enough reason for a very fulsome investigation if this were anyone but the president.
