Another criminal paid off the president. 🤬
He was supposed to serve 10 years and pay $36 million in restitution for defrauding investors. Never served a day. Not Somali.

Of course…
The idea that the Trump administration would assist the foreign founders of an illegally funded media outlet aimed at reaching American audiences with Russian propaganda might seem outlandish.

It's a good commentary on 2025 that the US President announces a major military attack on a foreign country and even the straightest arrows think, 50% chance it's an attack, 50% chance president is on another cognition bender.

Advocates say it would be cheaper to help families get housing.

GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.
