2022 is expected to be an explosive year for political scandals. As the November 2022 elections approach, state and federal lawmakers will be the subject of intense public and media scrutiny. There’s bound to be a sex tape involving a senator or other high-ranking official leaked to the press. This would be an especially damaging scandal as sexual misconduct allegations have been a frequent point of controversy and activism in recent years.
The U.S. Department of Justice will likely indict a handful of senior elected officials as well, forcing them to answer for alleged misconduct and crimes. There will also be ongoing investigations into the politicization of the 2020 election and the Trump Administration’s public and private activities that may have constituted malfeasance. The Special Counsel that was created in the wake of the Russia scandal in 2019 will perhaps resurface in 2022 and could bring forward new allegations.
Finally, the influence of corporate lobbyists on the political process and the government’s decision making will be sure to come under the microscope. In particular, the Biden Administration has promised to be acutely aware of any attempts by corporations to take advantage of their influence with Washington and potentially skirt the laws they are required to obey.
