Off the charts Trump family corruption. Kushner got Billions of foreign funds, while spearheading foreign policy. And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

"There are reports that federal agents have started going door to door to search for supposed noncitizen voters, an action that could intimidate residents who are eligible to [vote] ... The DOJ has also threatened state election officials, warning them of potential criminal prosecutions[.]"

Attorney General Todd Blanche told reporters that he wouldn’t rule out the possibility of the Department of Justice refusing to allow states to certify their own election results in this year’s midterm races.

Jared’s father, Charles Kushner, pleaded guilty to 18 counts of tax evasion and witness tampering. He hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, videotaped it, and mailed the tape to his sister. Trump pardoned him and made him Ambassador to France and Monaco. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...

Yesterday in St. Petersburg, Steve Witkoff saluted a man under ICC warrant for kidnapping Ukrainian children, and called him a humanitarian. It wasn’t a slip. It was the ninth meeting. Special report, out now.

A Russian hacker got into Jared Kushner's phone. The Dutch flipped the hacker and watched. What they saw, per Matthew Cole's new book: Gulf-funded accounts, $2 billion, none of it disclosed. Kushner calls it "completely insane." Fine, thin man. Then release the disclosure forms.

Princes and Thieves, a book by investigative journalist Matthew Cole, says Dutch intelligence hacked the phone of Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and watched him access a Dubai bank account holding hundreds of millions of dollars that came from a bank in Azerbaijan, Vanity Fair reports.
