    According to Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Melanie Trump's former close friend of 15 years, and the event planner/coordinator for the 2017 Trump Inaugural.

    "I'm working with three different prosecutors---regarding unaccounted funds related to the Trump Inaugural---and it's taken over my life,"
    referring to the U.S. attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York and local attorneys general in New Jersey and Washington, D.C.​

    The inaugural committee raised a record $107 million; its financial reporting could not account for ~ $40 million. thru selective leaks, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff was thrown off the bus as the fall guy, and was fired as Melanie Trump's advisor at the WH.

    but subsequent events indicate that she was merely a convenient scapegoat.

    the treasurer for the Inaugural has been identified as a co-conspirator in the Federal investigations. Federal prosecutors are preparing to charge longtime GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy. Rick Gates, Trump's deputy campaign manager, has admitted that he had skimmed some $ off the inaugural funds.

    A large contingent of Trump's base is retired boomers who have little experience with online grifting. They are prime targets for MAGA grifters.

    Trump MUST be guilty to go to all lengths to keep from providing DNA. Our government is so corrupt. So now the taxpayers are paying for Trump's sexual accusations from before he became President? This is disgusting.

    "Trump's effort to wield the power of the US government to evade responsibility for his private misconduct is without precedent and shows even more starkly how far he is willing to go to prevent the truth from coming out," the lawyer said.

    Fortress forgave huge Trump loan, got federal permits to transport LNG by rail

    A multi-billion dollar private equity firm whose subsidiary was awarded two special permits by the Trump Administration to haul hazardous liquified natural gas (LNG) by rail along Florida’s east coast apparently forgave more than $100 million in debt owed by President Trump.

    In addition to Fortress’s big money loan to Trump, Fortress loaned $57 million in October 2017 to the Kushner Companies, run by Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner.

    https://www.floridabulldog.org/2020...trump-loan-got-us-permits-transport-lng-rail/

    Trump enriches himself at every turn when it comes to running this country, hiring loyalists, awarding contracts, and hiring corrupt felons to keep him from being locked up. 100 million forgiven makes the stimulus checks during this pandemic seem like chump change.

    In any other time in our nations history this would be the greatest political scandal at the presidential level in our history. 100 million dollar pay for play at the presidential level. Just... wow. And I doubt it even broke the B block during the news cycle.
