    Interesting that he's pardoned the man who was complicit in Trump and Russia rigging the last election so the tangerine twat won in the first place whilst making his current claims

    Also has anyone noticed that they seem to have taken his ability to tweet away from him ? Someone is retweeting stuff but it's clearly not the tangerine one doing it because there's no abuse or grandstanding

    He was at it last night, but definitely on a much smaller scale than in the past. Maybe he's busy, he has a lot of packing to do, and several dozen criminal charges looming after January 20th.

    (CNN)Ivanka Trump, the President's daughter and adviser, sat for a deposition Tuesday with investigators from the Washington, DC, attorney general's office as part of its lawsuit alleging the misuse of inaugural funds, according to a court filing.

    In January, the DC attorney general's office sued the Trump Organization and Presidential Inaugural Committee alleging they abused more than $1 million raised by the nonprofit by "grossly overpaying" for use of event space at the Trump hotel in Washington for the 2017 inauguration.

    Depositions of witnesses as part of the lawsuit have been underway over the past several weeks.
    Tom Barrack, chairman of the inaugural committee, was deposed on November 17, according to the court filing.
    The attorney general's office has also subpoenaed records from Barrack, Ivanka Trump, first lady Melania Trump, and Rick Gates, the former inaugural committee deputy chairman, the filing said.

    "Ms. Trump's only involvement was connecting the parties and instructing the hotel to charge a 'fair market rate', which the hotel did," Alan Garten, general counsel for the Trump Organization, said in a statement to CNN.

    According to the lawsuit, Gates "personally managed" discussions with the Trump hotel about event space.

    In December 2016, Gates wrote to Ivanka Trump that he was "a bit worried about the optics of PIC [Presidential Inaugural Committee] paying Trump Hotel a high fee and the media making a big story out of it," according to the lawsuit.

    According to the lawsuit, Gates agreed with the hotel's managing director and Trump family members to pay $175,000 per day for the committee to reserve space for four days.

    The committee's own event planner -- Stephanie Winston Wolkoff -- advised against the transaction, telling the committee and the Trump family that the charges were at least twice the market rate, the lawsuit states.


    Wolkoff "noted unease with the offer during an in-person meeting with President-elect Trump and Ivanka Trump," said DC Attorney General Karl Racine. She also sent a follow-up email to both Ivanka Trump and Gates to "express [her] concern," according to the attorney general.
    "The Inaugural Committee accepted the contract anyway," the lawsuit alleges.

    Wolkoff will be deposed next week, according to sources familiar with the matter.

    The level of corruption committed by him and his TV Gameshow Trash spawn and partners is frightening.

    I still maintain he will resign before January and 'also bent Pence' will try to pardon him of everything.

    I would pay a lot to see him dragged out of the white house kicking and screaming :) And to see him in an orange prison jump suit which clashes with his horrible orange face will be so rewarding

    Trouble is, the Democrats are spineless and self interest orientated enough to let him get away with it.

    As President Donald Trump's days in the White House wane, his administration is racing through a string of federal executions.

    Five executions are scheduled before President-elect Joe Biden's 20 January inauguration - breaking with an 130-year-old precedent of pausing executions amid a presidential transition.

    And if all five take place, Mr Trump will be the country's most prolific execution president in more than a century, overseeing the executions of 13 death row inmates since July of this year.

    The five executions are to begin this week, starting with 40-year-old Brandon Bernard and 56-year-old Alfred Bourgeois. They are both scheduled to be put to death at a penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana.

    Attorney General William Barr has said his justice department is simply upholding existing law. But critics have said the move is concerning, coming just weeks before Mr Biden - who has said he will seek to end the death penalty - takes office.

    "This is really outside the norm, in a pretty extreme way," said Ngozi Ndulue, director of research at the non-partisan Death Penalty Information Center.

    Since the federal death penalty was reinstated by the US Supreme Court in 1988, federal executions in the US have remained rare.

    Before Mr Trump took office, only three federal executions had taken place in this period.

    All were carried out under Republican President George W Bush, and included inmate Timothy McVeigh, convicted of the Oklahoma City federal building bombing. Since 2003, there have been no federal executions at all.


    In his final days in office, Trump orders series of executions

    Another Trump legacy he'll no doubt be proud of.
     
  17. as will most of his base.

    I think it shows trump is not really in control or caring.

    if you appoint the types of people he has to secure votes they will stick this sort of stuff under his nose for sign off

    I still doubt he has ever read anything he has signed

    On Trump's pardons, apparently that stunt the Texas AG is pulling with SCOTUS is in hopes that Trump will pardon him as he's been under FBI investigation :laugh:

    The good people of the USA must realise that this is the way 3rd world banana republics behave?
