American Tax Officer-Chapter 885 - 443: David’s Outburst_2

Among her thoughts, a White House staffer knocked and entered, saying, "Madam President, Inspector David has arrived and wishes to see you."

Although Katherine and Windsor had braced themselves for this, a twinge of panic was inevitable upon hearing that David had come.

Striving to calm her emotions, Katherine spoke, "Then please let him in."

Soon, David walked in without ceremony, directly taking a seat opposite her at the Oval Office desk, and addressed Katherine and Windsor, "Madam President, I've heard some rumblings recently suggesting you're dissatisfied with our agreement made at the Capitol Hill Hotel. My visit today is primarily to understand this issue."

Katherine and Windsor's expressions darkened; David had indeed been tipped off by Trump and was here to make things difficult for them.

"Inspector David, it's like this: I have no intention of breaking the agreement. My plan initially was indeed to go through the motions before passing the baton, but unexpectedly, the American people's overwhelming support for me has lead me to a considerable lead over Trump. If I were to suddenly withdraw now, it would incite public uproar, so at this point, I am simply not in a position to step back..."

Both knew that after drawing their swords, David would inevitably come to their doorstep, and had long since prepared their excuses.

And indeed, her excuse was quite reasonable.

I did want to step down, but alas, you give Trump the opportunity and he fails to perform, resulting in public support massively swaying in my favor.

I feel as though I'm being hoisted up; I truly can't withdraw even if I wanted to!

David wasted no further words and pulled out a document from the inner pocket of his suit, placing it on the Oval Office desk.

Upon seeing the document, Katherine first showed surprise, then her face turned solemn as she picked up the file and began to inspect its contents.

As the information within came into view, Katherine and Windsor's expressions progressively worsened.

The document wasn't evidence of their corruption, bribery, abuse of power, or tax evasion, but rather an interview transcript from over twenty years ago.

Back then, Katherine was still very young and not yet in politics, so when faced with a media inquiry about issues related to the black community, she openly expressed some of her internal racist views.

It must be recognized that America is a country of immigrants and a melting pot of different races, within which the black community occupies a significant portion.

The black community of America is highly unified; not only would a President with a history of discrimination against this community be criticized, but even an ordinary white immigrant who dares to express discrimination against black people would face their wrath.

In essence, if this document were to be leaked, Katherine wouldn't just forget about continuing her campaign, but her entire family might be overwhelmed by the backlash of those people.

The two had calculated every possibility, accounted for all potential scenarios, but had never anticipated that David could procure an interview document from over twenty years ago.

"Katherine, what if I were to let the media release this document? Would that not decrease the support of the people for you a bit, making it easier for you to step back?" David asked.

Just now, Katherine had been complaining, saying it was because the public was pressuring her that she felt unable to withdraw.

Now, if David released the document, her support would surely plummet, and she would become embroiled in a scandal, thus no longer being pressured by anyone!

Hearing this, Katherine's face turned red with embarrassment, and she found herself somewhat unable to retort.

"Inspector David, why must you insist on Trump taking office? President Katherine is certainly no worse than Trump, and whatever Trump can do, President Katherine can do too. Why can't you consider giving President Katherine a chance?" Windsor also spoke out of desperation.

Looking at her, David replied with a hint of disdain, "As I've said before, a promise is a promise, and frankly, I don't see much difference between the two of them!"

"You..."

Windsor was stunned by this remark.

"Windsor, Chief of Staff, I've received some news that your subordinates have been getting quite close with the Freemasonry Group recently. What about it, are you looking to seek a higher position? If that's the case, I wouldn't stand in your way!"

This piece of news was what David had learned last night from Elvis.

One must understand that Freemasonry was something he had to eliminate at once, yet Windsor dared to collude with these people. This was intolerable.

Therefore, the purpose of his visit today, besides reprimanding Katherine and having her straighten up, was to take care of Windsor, which would serve as a warning to others.

The White House Chief of Staff, the steward of the White House, the avatar of the President, could still wield a significant amount of influence. He could not allow the Freemasons to exploit them at this critical time.

"No no no, not at all, Chief Inspector David. We know those people from Freemasonry are a menace to society, and there's no way we could have any dealings with them!"

Before Windsor could speak, Katherine was the first to lose her patience.

She was well aware that David and Freemasonry were mortal enemies. Once she admitted to colluding with Freemasonry, the situation would become irrevocable.

Considering the way things were, the document leak could only cause her a scandal. However, she knew all too well about David's methods. This was just an appetizer, and the real killer move might still be waiting in the wings.

"Don't be hasty, Madam President. I wasn't saying that you had any connection with Freemasonry. I was referring to Chief of Staff Windsor. How about it, Chief of Staff Windsor, do you have anything to say about this matter?"

"I... I didn't..."

David didn't rush to rebut either. Instead, he pulled out several photos from his pocket, laid them in front of him, and said, "This Fuberry is your confidant, right? Could you explain why he is dining with Joshua from the Morgan Family?"

In the photos, Joshua of the Morgan Family was indeed dining in a high-class restaurant with a man.

At that moment, Katherine was thoroughly panicked. Initially, when Windsor had proposed the idea of joining forces with Freemasonry, she, knowing the relationship between Freemasonry and David, did not accept it, and the matter was gradually shelved.

As for the current meeting between Windsor's confidant and Joshua, she was indeed unaware.

However, with Windsor as the Chief of Staff of the White House, her proxy, now secretly colluding with Freemasonry—if she said she didn't know about it, would David believe her?

Whether he believed it or not, she would certainly be implicated!

"How about it, Chief of Staff Windsor, can you explain this matter?"

At this moment, Windsor's face was drained of color. With such evidence before her, how could she possibly explain anything?

David didn't bother with her anymore and turned to Katherine, saying, "President Katherine, during this time, we've maintained a good relationship. I would not wish to destroy that. From now on, I don't want to do anything to you, but you do owe me an explanation for this matter, that's all."

They were all intelligent people; there was no need to spell things out too clearly after this point.

David stood up, pushed the door open, and left.

At this moment, Katherine could finally breathe a sigh of relief because she had caught on that David didn't intend to make a big issue out of this matter with her.

She turned to look at Windsor, her expression gradually becoming one of restrained anger, and said, "Windsor, I've been good to you. Is this how you go behind my back?"

Of course, she had every reason to be angry. Windsor had secretly colluded with Freemasonry. Not just colluded, she had actually been in contact with them, nearly bringing ruin upon herself.

"Madam President, I...I did it all for your sake, please forgive me..."
