New York AG Presses Forward With Suit Against Trump's Charitable Foundation
Dikke problemen voor Trump's slushfund.
Dikke problemen voor Trump's slushfund.
quote:The New York Attorney General's Office is urging a state court not to dismiss its lawsuit against President Trump's charitable foundation, saying the foundation has repeatedly violated state and federal laws.
Attorney General Barbara Underwood said the Donald J. Trump Foundation "was a shell corporation that functioned as a checkbook from which the business entity known as the Trump Organization made payments."
Underwood sued the foundation in June, saying it repeatedly solicited money from donors and then used it for campaign-related purposes, violating federal election law. The money was also used to benefit Trump' business interests, by settling legal claims against it, for example, Underwood said.
Underwood also said that Trump's three oldest children — Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump — had exercised no real control over the foundation's activities, despite being nominal board members.
In August, the foundation asked the New York State Supreme Court to dismiss the suit, denying that it had violated any laws.
The foundation said the suit was politically motivated and that Underwood's predecessor, Eric Schneiderman, who initiated the investigation, had vowed to "lead the resistance" against Trump. Schneiderman resigned in May following allegations of physical abuse against women.
Underwood said in Thursday's filing that the foundation had misrepresented the claims against it and urged the court to allow the case to proceed.
Underwood is asking the court to dissolve the foundation and is seeking $2.8 million plus additional penalties.

Donald J. Trump
Published 3:15 AM EDT Oct 10, 2018
Throughout the year, we have seen Democrats across the country uniting around a new legislative proposal that would end Medicare as we know it and take away benefits that seniors have paid for their entire lives.
Dishonestly called “Medicare for All,” the Democratic proposal would establish a government-run, single-payer health care system that eliminates all private and employer-based health care plans and would cost an astonishing $32.6 trillion during its first 10 years.
As a candidate, I promised that we would protect coverage for patients with pre-existing conditions and create new health care insurance options that would lower premiums. I have kept that promise, and we are now seeing health insurance premiums coming down.
I also made a solemn promise to our great seniors to protect Medicare. That is why I am fighting so hard against the Democrats' plan that would eviscerate Medicare. Democrats have already harmed seniors by slashing Medicare by more than $800 billion over 10 years to pay for Obamacare. Likewise, Democrats would gut Medicare with their planned government takeover of American health care.
The Democrats' plan threatens America's seniors
The Democrats' plan means that after a life of hard work and sacrifice, seniors would no longer be able to depend on the benefits they were promised. By eliminating Medicare as a program for seniors, and outlawing the ability of Americans to enroll in private and employer-based plans, the Democratic plan would inevitably lead to the massive rationing of health care. Doctors and hospitals would be put out of business. Seniors would lose access to their favorite doctors. There would be long wait lines for appointments and procedures. Previously covered care would effectively be denied.
In practice, the Democratic Party’s so-called Medicare for All would really be Medicare for None. Under the Democrats' plan, today’s Medicare would be forced to die.
The Democrats' plan also would mean the end of choice for seniors over their own health care decisions. Instead, Democrats would give total power and control over seniors’ health care decisions to the bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.
More: My family escaped socialism, now my fellow Democrats think we should move the party in its direction
Cuts in Social Security and Medicare are inevitable. Delaying reform will make it worse.
Half of America skimps to pay for health care. The only fix is to cut waste.
The first thing the Democratic plan will do to end choice for seniors is eliminate Medicare Advantage plans for about 20 million seniors as well as eliminate other private health plans that seniors currently use to supplement their Medicare coverage.
Next, the Democrats would eliminate every American’s private and employer-based health plan. It is right there in their proposed legislation: Democrats outlaw private health plans that offer the same benefits as the government plan.
Americans might think that such an extreme, anti-senior, anti-choice and anti-consumer proposal for government-run health care would find little support among Democrats in Congress.
Unfortunately, they would be wrong: 123 Democrats in the House of Representatives — 64 percent of House Democrats — as well as 15 Democrats in the Senate have already formally co-sponsored this legislation. Democratic nominees for governor in Florida, California and Maryland are all campaigning in support of it, as are many Democratic congressional candidates.
Democrats want open-borders socialism
The truth is that the centrist Democratic Party is dead. The new Democrats are radical socialists who want to model America’s economy after Venezuela.
If Democrats win control of Congress this November, we will come dangerously closer to socialism in America. Government-run health care is just the beginning. Democrats are also pushing massive government control of education, private-sector businesses and other major sectors of the U.S. economy.
Every single citizen will be harmed by such a radical shift in American culture and life. Virtually everywhere it has been tried, socialism has brought suffering, misery and decay.
Indeed, the Democrats' commitment to government-run health care is all the more menacing to our seniors and our economy when paired with some Democrats' absolute commitment to end enforcement of our immigration laws by abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That means millions more would cross our borders illegally and take advantage of health care paid for by American taxpayers.
Today’s Democratic Party is for open-borders socialism. This radical agenda would destroy American prosperity. Under its vision, costs will spiral out of control. Taxes will skyrocket. And Democrats will seek to slash budgets for seniors’ Medicare, Social Security and defense.
Republicans believe that a Medicare program that was created for seniors and paid for by seniors their entire lives should always be protected and preserved. I am committed to resolutely defending Medicare and Social Security from the radical socialist plans of the Democrats. For the sake of our country, our prosperity, our seniors and all Americans — this is a fight we must win.

BREAKING: The same man who regularly messages with Jared Kushner via WhatsApp, who has said to friends he has Jared "in his pocket," and who got Jared (thus Trump) to support the 2017 Saudi blockade of Qatar, is the man who ordered the detention of a now-murdered WaPo journalist. quote:Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman ordered an operation to detain missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi after luring him back to Saudi Arabia, U.S. intelligence revealed, according to The Washington Post.
U.S. officials speaking on the condition of anonymity told The Post that Salman and other Saudi officials tried to get Khashoggi to return to Saudi Arabia, where he is from, with offers of government employment and protection.
The officials said the intelligence further ties the Saudi government to Khashoggi's disappearance at a Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.
Turkish police have said that Khashoggi was likely killed by a Saudi security team when he visited the consulate last week.
Saudi officials have denied they had anything to do with his appearance, and Salman in an interview last week invited Turkish authorities to search the consulate.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd.

53K Georgia voter registration applications on hold with Kemp's office: report
quote:More than 53,000 voter registration applications are sitting on hold with Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp's (R) office, according to a new Associated Press report.
A majority of the applicants on that list are black, the AP reported Tuesday, and many applicants may be unaware that their applications have been put on hold. Tuesday marked the state's deadline for residents to register and be eligible to vote in the November general election.
The outlet obtained the records from Kemp’s office through a public records request. The secretary of state is responsible for overseeing elections and voter registration.
Georgia counties review and process applications, according to the secretary of state's website.
A spokeswoman from Kemp's office told The Hill that the applications are being held due to the state's "exact match" law, which passed last year. The law requires an applicant's information to match exactly what is listed by the state's Department of Driver Services or the Social Security Administration.
According to the legislation, if an applicant’s information on a voter registration form results does not match the information in a federal or state database, the applicant’s status is "pending." If an application is marked as "pending," the voter registration database produces a letter, giving the applicant 26 months to provide up-to-date information. Applicants who have been flagged can mail in a copy of "eligible identification" or present it at the polls.
Voting rights advocates have claimed Kemp's "exact match" law discriminates against black and minority voters, pointing to the racial makeup of the list of stalled voter registration applications, which is 70 percent black, according to AP.
The report comes following remarks from Kemp's Democratic opponent for Georgia governor, Stacey Abrams, who has accused Kemp of suppressing votes, particularly those of black and minority voters, according to The Associated Press.
Kemp has fiercely denied the allegations.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd. Je moet je daarvoor eerst gratis Registreren.

Het heeft nog een staartje
Trump has reportedly tried to fire John Kelly, but fails because he usually uses Kelly to fire people
quote:[..]
But Nuzzi said a Trump administration official told her the only reason Kelly still has his job is due to “dumb luck” and the president’s short attention span.
The official seemed to suggest Trump has actually attempted to fire Kelly, but the retired Marine general reportedly just ignored him. There’s also the fact Trump typically uses Kelly to fire people, the administration official told Nuzzi, so he doesn’t know who to call upon to get rid of Kelly.
“When the president says, ‘I need you to leave,’ Kelly just ignores him,” the administration official said. “I think the president just doesn’t know who to call to fire him. Normally if the president wanted to fire somebody, he would call Kelly to do it. But there’s nobody else to call.”
