Jaime Raskin

Jaime Raskin is a Democratic Congressman from Maryland's 8th congressional district, known for his strong advocacy on issues of civil rights, democracy, and government accountability. A constitutional law professor by training, Raskin gained national attention during the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, where he served as the lead impeachment manager. In response to the Trump administration's decision to revoke Harvard University's ability to enroll international students, Raskin criticized the move as an 'intolerable attack on Harvard's independence and academic freedom,' highlighting his commitment to protecting educational institutions from political retaliation.
