DBP66 Posted February 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 A judge just handed Trump a major loss in the DC attorney general's lawsuit over inauguration funds as the case heads to trial Jacob Shamsian Tue, February 15, 2022, 10:42 AM A judge reinstated the Trump Organization as a defendant in a lawsuit over the potential misuse of inauguration funds. The DC Attorney General alleges the organization wrongly took nonprofit funds from Trump's 2017 inauguration. A judge ruled the AG brought enough evidence to keep the company as a defendant. A Washington, DC judge reinstated the Trump Organization as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by the district's attorney general over whether former President Donald Trump misused funds for his 2017 inauguration — reversing an earlier decision and handing a major loss to Trump as the case heads to trial. DC Attorney General Karl A. Racine filed the civil lawsuit in January 2020. He accused the Trump Organization, the Trump International Hotel in DC, and Trump's 2017 presidential inaugural committee, which is a tax-exempt nonprofit, of using tax-free funds to improperly pay the Trump Organization and members of the Trump family.

López cleaved the Trump Organization off the case, ruling that Racine's office didn't bring enough evidence to establish the company may have broken the law. Racine filed a motion for reconsideration later that month. On December 31, the case was transferred to a different judge, Yvonne Williams, who ruled Wednesday night that the Trump Organization should remain in the case after all. She pointed out in her ruling that Gentry Beach, a man who the attorney general's office says was acting on behalf of the Trump Organization, appeared to conflate the company and the inaugural committee when booking a block of hotel rooms. "The contract involved a large block of rooms booked for people affiliated with the Trump Organization at the Loews Madison Hotel during the week of the 2017 Inauguration," Williams wrote. "Mr. Beach signed the contract on behalf of the Trump Organization and listed Lindsay Santoro, Mr. Donald Trump Jr.'s personal assistant, as the point of contact for the rooms." Lawyers for the Trump Organization argued that the attorney general's office failed to collect any testimony from Beach. But Williams wrote that López erroneously ruled in their favor without first considering whether Racine should be able to issue a subpoena to depose Beach.

In a ruling Thursday, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron roundly rejected bids by the Trumps to dodge giving testimony on grounds of James’ alleged bias and that her office is conducting parallel criminal and civil investigations.

DBP66 Posted February 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Trump’s Spammy Fundraising Emails Are Rankling Republicans: Report William Vaillancourt Thu, February 17, 2022, 12:47 PM Top GOP officials are worried that former President Donald Trump’s barrage of fundraising emails could crowd out other Republicans and harm efforts to compete with Democratic fundraising hauls, Axios reported on Wednesday. According to the report, Trump’s two political action committees — Save America and the Trump Make America Great Again Committee — brought in more money last year through GOP payment processor WinRed than the combined haul of the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee. By year’s end, Trump’s fundraising arms had $122 million in the bank. The number would have been even higher had the Trump campaign not been forced to refund millions to those who unwittingly agreed to make multiple increasing donations because of shady fundraising tactics. Republican strategists, all four of whom spoke to Axios on the condition of anonymity, cited several potential risks of Trump continuing to spam his donor base. These included donor burnout, the heavy focus on Trump’s brand, and other Republicans having to struggle to raise money. “Conservative donors are getting 6, 12, maybe even two dozen fundraising emails or text messages every single day,” one strategist said. “And the chances of them opening yours, let alone reading, clicking and donating, is pretty small to begin with. If you include Trump in that … your competition for the inboxes of donors just goes through the roof. … It makes it so much more difficult to convert any of these people.” Another possible drawback is that Trump could hoard funds instead of using them to benefit the party as a whole. ABC News reported earlier this month that Trump said his committees have donated only $1.35 million to “like-minded causes and endorsed candidates,” which is only a small fraction of the $120 million-plus his committees have on hand. It doesn’t appear like the fundraising push is slowing down any time soon, either. Since Jan. 1 of this year, the Trump groups have sent 14 emails per day, according to the Defending Democracy Together Institute. The frequency has risen steadily since last July, when Trump’s PACs were only sending around three emails per day. Trump’s allies have defended the former president’s fundraising practices. “No one in the history of the Republican Party has done more to grow the donor pool at every level than President Donald J. Trump, something that pays untold dividends to Republican candidates and causes across the nation,” Taylor Budowich, a spokesperson for Trump, told Axios. Brad Parscale, who ran Trump’s digital operation in 2016 before serving as one of his 2020 campaign managers, weighed in on Thursday. “So you’re saying: ‘Why don’t you cut back your fundraising and let us act like we are Trump so we can have some of his donations. We can’t figure out how to do it with our boring candidates, so let us fake being your popular candidate.’ Yeah, sure,'” he tweeted. Regardless of the GOP’s unease with Trump’s fundraising apparatus, the Republican National Committee was still able to out-raise its Democratic counterpart in 2021, $159 million to $151 million. House Republicans recently overtook Democrats, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBP66 Posted February 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Federal judge rules that Trump can be sued over the Capitol riot and does not have absolute immunity Sonam Sheth Fri, February 18, 2022, 4:58 PM Former President Donald Trump.Evan Vucci/AP A federal judge ruled that Trump can be held civilly liable for the Capitol riot. He also said Trump does not have absolute immunity from civil suits. "The court well understands the gravity of its decision," the ruling said. "But the alleged facts of this case are without precedent." A federal judge ruled on Friday that former President Donald Trump can be held civilly liable for the deadly Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. Trump's speech before his supporters stormed the Capitol, during which he called on them to "fight like hell" against the 2020 election results, "can reasonably be viewed as a call for collective action," US District Judge Amit Mehta wrote in a 112-page ruling. He pointed to specific statements in which Trump used the word "we," including: "We will not take it anymore." "We will stop the steal." "We will never give up." "We will never concede." "All Mike Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify, and we become president." "We're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue." The word "we" being "used repeatedly in this context implies that the President and rally-goers would be acting together toward a common goal," Mehta wrote. "That is the essence of a civil conspiracy." The focus of Mehta's ruling were three civil lawsuits brought against Trump by Democratic lawmakers and Capitol Police officers who defended the building on January 6. The judge ruled on Friday that Trump is not immune from the litigation and can be held accountable for his actions and statements related to the Capitol riot. Mehta acknowledged the import of his decision but said that the events of January 6 were unprecedented. "To deny a President immunity from civil damages is no small step," the ruling said. "The court well understands the gravity of its decision. But the alleged facts of this case are without precedent." Mehta also noted that Trump was not acting in his capacity as president when he held the rally and told his supporters to march to the Capitol. "After all, the President's actions here do not relate to his duties of faithfully executing the laws, conducting foreign affairs, commanding the armed forces, or managing the Executive Branch," the ruling said. "They entirely concern his efforts to remain in office for a second term. These are unofficial acts, so the separation-of-powers concerns that justify the President's broad immunity are not present here." The judge also said that the allegations in the civil lawsuits against Trump are enough to establish "a plausible ... conspiracy involving President Trump." That conspiracy includes the far-right groups Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and others who stormed the Capitol on January 6, Mehta added. He highlighted that a "civil conspiracy" does not require an express agreement between those involved. "A tacit agreement — one that is 'implied or indicated ... but not actually expressed' — is enough," the ruling said. "The key is that the conspirators share the same general conspiratorial objective, or a single plan the essential nature and general scope of which is known to all conspirators." Friday's ruling is a major blow to Trump and comes in the wake of several other legal losses. On Thursday, a Manhattan judge ruled that Trump and his two eldest children, Donald Jr. and Ivanka, must sit for depositions in the New York attorney general Tish James' ongoing investigation into whether the Trump Organization violated banking, tax, and insurance laws. And earlier this week, Trump's longtime accounting firm cut ties with him after concluding that, in the wake of James' recent findings, ten years of Trump's financial statements "should no longer be relied upon."

DBP66 Posted February 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 U.S. Supreme Court formally ends Trump's fight over Capitol attack records FILE PHOTO: U.S. President Donald Trump speaks in the East Room of the White House Lawrence Hurley Tue, February 22, 2022, 9:55 AM By Lawrence Hurley WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday brought a formal end to former President Donald Trump's request to block the release of White House records sought by the Democratic-led congressional panel investigating last year's deadly attack on the Capitol by a mob of his supporters. The court's decision to formally reject Trump's appeal follows its Jan. 19 order that led to the documents being handed over to the House of Representatives investigative committee by the federal agency that stores government and historical records. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Dec. 9 upheld a lower court ruling that Trump had no basis to challenge President Joe Biden's decision to allow the records to be handed over to the House of Representatives select committee. Trump then appealed to the Supreme Court Trump and his allies have waged an ongoing legal battle with the House select committee seeking to block access to documents and witnesses. Trump has sought to invoke a legal principle known as executive privilege, which protects the confidentially of some internal White House communications, a stance rejected by lower courts. The House committee has said it needed the records to understand any role Trump may have played in fomenting the violence that unfolded on Jan. 6, 2021. His supporters stormed the Capitol in a failed bid to prevent Congress from formally certifying Biden's 2020 presidential election victory over Trump. The committee asked the National Archives to produce visitor logs, phone records and written communications between his advisers. Biden, who took office two weeks after the riot, previously determined that the records, which belong to the executive branch, should not be subject to executive privilege. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBP66 Posted February 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Trump's Truth Social's disastrous launch raises doubts about its long-term viability “Truth Social” promotional materials. (Photo illustration by Leon Neal/Getty Images) (Getty) Drew Harwell, (c) 2022, The Washington Post Tue, February 22, 2022, 4:49 PM Former president Donald Trump, a longtime critic of how Democrats debuted healthcare.gov, is facing a bungled website launch of his own. His long-promised social network, Truth Social, has been almost entirely inaccessible in the first days of its grand debut due to technical glitches, a 13-hour outage and a 300,000-person waitlist. Even Trump supporters made jokes about the early slog. Jenna Ellis, a former member of his legal team, posted to Instagram a photo showing Trump with his finger hovering over a laptop, "letting us on to Truth Social one at a time." The site had been heralded for months as the crown jewel of Trump's post-presidential business ambitions, with allies pledging it would revolutionize social media and take down the mainstream social networks where Trump is banned. But early glimpses at Truth Social suggest its offerings are almost identical to what Twitter and other sites have offered for years - except tweets are called "Truths," and retweets "ReTruths. The site's early struggles also have fueled doubts that Trump's company will be able to handle tougher long-term challenges, such as policing for dangerous content and guarding against cyberattacks. "The basic thing they needed to actually get right to get someone in the door, they couldn't get right," said Bill Fitzgerald, a privacy researcher. The "ineptitude of the rollout," he added, could be a warning of future issues ahead: "There is no better sign of a rushed implementation than the fact that you can't onboard anybody. So I'm hard-pressed to understand why anyone would trust that these people would keep their information safe." The site's problems extend beyond its waitlist: Its logo - a broken capital 'T' with a period - is identical to the logo of Trailar, a British seller of truck solar panels. A company executive told The Washington Post that it is "seeking legal advice to understand next steps and options available to protect our brand."

DBP66 Posted February 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Congress expands investigation into missing and destroyed Trump presidential records Sarah D. Wire Fri, February 25, 2022, 6:01 AM Then-President Trump in October 2019. (Associated Press) The House Oversight and Reform Committee is scaling up its investigation into what its chairwoman says could be "the largest-scale violations of the Presidential Records Act since its enactment," according to a letter being sent to the National Archives on Friday. "I am deeply concerned that former President Trump may have violated the law through his intentional efforts to remove and destroy records that belong to the American people," committee Chairwoman Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.) wrote in the letter to Archivist David Ferriero. The Times obtained the letter before it was sent to Ferriero. The committee is examining what happened to presidential records that were supposed to be turned over to the National Archives at the end of the Trump administration and are presumed to be missing or destroyed. It is also looking at 15 boxes of materials recovered last month by the National Archives from Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., including some documents marked classified and some that were torn up. The Archives has asked the Justice Department to determine whether a crime was committed in connection with the documents' handling. Trump has called the documents' return “routine" and “no big deal.” Records produced for or by a president through his normal course of official duties must be preserved for the public under the Presidential Records Act, which covers documents, recordings, photos, memos and notes. The records are housed at the National Archives and made available to researchers and the public to help understand what influenced a president's decision-making. The committee has investigated reports that records weren't preserved in the past, but it now plans to examine new areas including: the records reclaimed from Mar-a-Lago; social media accounts and postings that were not properly preserved; official business conducted by White House staff on non-official messaging accounts that weren't preserved; and records that were ripped or otherwise destroyed during the administration, some of which were taped back together before being turned over to the National Archives. Ferriero notified Congress on Feb. 18 that the Archives did not receive a complete set of social media records from Trump and several other administration officials, and that despite working with social media companies some of the records may never be recovered. That same day it confirmed media reports that the Mar-a-Lago records contained classified or destroyed documents, and that the communication through non-official sources wasn't always preserved. "The information in your response suggests that former President Trump and his senior aides may have repeatedly violated the Presidential Records Act and other federal laws, which could severely impact the preservation of records from the Trump Administration," Maloney wrote in the letter. Maloney requested by March 10 a detailed accounting of the contents of the reclaimed boxes, including the level of classification for each classified record, any reviews of the contents by other federal agencies, all records that were destroyed and any response from the administration to the Archives' warnings about how to properly preserve records in order to comply with federal law. She set a March 17 deadline for records showing discussions between high-ranking Trump officials and White House lawyers about the use of personal messaging accounts for official business, destroying records, missing records, what records to hand over to the National Archives and proper preservation of social media records. She also asked for records by that date about what Trump was told regarding White House recordkeeping policies and whether employees ever found shredded records in White House toilets, a reference to an anecdote Trump denies that will appear in an upcoming book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.

DBP66 Posted February 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Trump falsely blames Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 'rigged election' in the US before Fox News cut him off Jake Lahut Wed, February 23, 2022, 11:47 PM Former President Donald Trump.SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday blamed Russia's invasion of Ukraine on his election loss. After he brought up false election claims, the Fox News host Laura Ingraham cut the interview short. Ingraham cut to a speech on the floor of the United Nations, which other networks also showed. Former President Donald Trump called into Fox News late Wednesday night only to be cut off once he brought up falsehoods about the 2020 US election. The prime-time opinion host Laura Ingraham was asking Trump about "a lot of weakness in the United States" and where NATO stood as Russia mounted an invasion of Ukraine, news of which broke shortly before the former president's interview. Trump quickly pivoted to reiterating his baseless claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election. "I think you're exactly right — I think that's what happened," Trump said. "He was going to be satisfied with a peace, and now he sees the weakness and the incompetence and the stupidity of this administration, and, as an American, I'm angry about it, and I'm saddened by it," he continued, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. "And it all happened because of a rigged election. This would have never happened." After Trump brought up his "rigged election" line, Ingraham ended the interview. "President Trump, we actually have — just, hold on, I'm so sorry to interrupt you — but have, we're going to the Pentagon, I believe?" Ingraham said. "Ukraine, sorry. Ukraine is speaking at the UN." MSNBC and CNN also carried the remarks from Sergiy Kyslytsya, Ukraine's permanent representative to the United Nations. Representatives from Fox News pointed to the network's live coverage from Ukraine when asked for comment. The Fox News reporters Trey Yingst and Steve Harrigan were on the ground in Ukraine providing live coverage, and Ingraham returned to her previously scheduled interview with the journalist Glenn Greenwald after coming back from the floor of the United Nations.
