Broidy is being probed for his/his wife’s attempt to make a $75 million deal w/Malaysian Jho Low if DOJ ended its investigation of #1MDB, a Malaysian gov’t fund👉🏼former Malaysian PM implicated for embezzling BILLIONS of dollars from the fund.🙄5/
👆🏼 Broidy’s partner in (alleged) crime, George Nader (another convicted felon for pedophilia-related crimes) is COOPERATING with federal prosecutors.😎 7/
🔥DOJ’s public integrity section — probes political & government #corruption — have sought documents related to Broidy’s business dealings, including details about Broidy’s work on behalf of and interactions w/Chinese & Malaysian officials.😎 8/
🔥“As part of their efforts, prosecutors have subpoenaed casino magnate Steve Wynn, the former #RNC finance chairman & longtime Trump friend, for copies of records and communications related to Broidy.”
Now, it’s clear why @realDonaldTrump has his recent meltdown.🧐 9/
🔥Now, there are **at least two #RNC finance chairs** implicated in federal CRIMINAL investigations (Broidy & Cohen).
Not to forget that a **third** #RNC finance chair, Steve Wynn, has been subpoenaed for his interactions with convicted felon Broidy.🙄 11/
Broidy’s alleged criminal nexus stretches far and wide & could implicate Trunp & the #GOPr beyond shady ties to the Middle East, and also to #Russia🇷🇺. 12/
“Broidy’s alleged efforts to push for [Chinese dissident] extradition came after Wynn separately helped deliver a message from the Xi government seeking to have the dissident returned to #China.” 13/
🔥“Wynn, who has contacts w/Chinese officials because of his business (casino) interests in Macau, *hand-delivered a letter to Trump* seeking Guo’s (the Chinese dissident) deportation.” 14/
Broidy is under investigation, Flynn & Gates rolled, Cohen is near-certain to cut a deal, and Wynn is “cooperating” w/a federal probe, plus Manafort, Stone (too many for 280™️) face likely #indictment.
Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva tested positive for #Trimetazidine—a banned stimulant—before arriving at the #Beijing Olympics, jeopardizing her team gold medal won this week.
Valieva’s bust for doping is ZERO surprise, as Russian athletes in Beijing are competing as the “Russian Olympic Committee” (#ROC) **after #Russia was banned because of a massive state-sponsored doping scheme** at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
“It is anticipated that…Trump will testify that he & others orchestrated a carefully crafted plot to call into question the integrity of the 2020 presidential election & the validity of Biden’s victory”💥 nytimes.com/2022/02/04/us/…
“Moreover, it will be established at trial that Trump & his conspirators engaged in a concerted effort to deceive the public, including defendant, into believing that American democracy was at stake if Congress was permitted to certify the election results.”
OOOOOH: The #January6th defendant also “wanted to #subpoena not only Trump, but also several of his former aides and advisers, including Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller and John Eastman”🧐

🚨BREAKING: #OathKeepers founder & leader Stewart Rhodes ARRESTED and CHARGED with **seditious #conspiracy** for organizing a wide-ranging plot to storm the Capitol on #Jan6th.
FINALLY, the first insurrectionist has been charged with #sedition.💥
At least 4 #OathKeepers who were at the Capitol on 1/6 and are cooperating with the government have **sworn in court papers that the group intended to breach the Capitol with the goal of obstructing the final certification of the Electoral College vote**.
On #ElectionDay, Rhodes allegedly said that an “honest” count of the votes could only result in a victory for Trump and called on #OathKeepers members to “stock up on ammo” and prepare for a “full-on war in the streets.”
#Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes found GUILTY on 4 counts of wire #fraud + 1 count of #conspiracy, but not guilty on 3 counts. Jury deadlocked on 3 counts.
🚨Fmr #NYPD Commissioner Bernie Kerik turned over some documents to the @January6thCmte but withheld numerous others, including one titled “DRAFT LETTER FROM @POTUS TO SEIZE EVIDENCE IN THE INTEREST OF NATIONAL SECURITY FOR THE 2020 ELECTIONS.”
Kerik’s lawyer provided the “privilege log” to the #Jan6thCommittee saying the file originated on 12/17, a day before Trump huddled in the WH w/advisers including Misha Flynn, where they *discussed seizing election equipment* in states whose results Trump was attempting to throw.
Another file provided by Kerik included emails btwn Kerik & others about paying for rooms at the Willard Hotel. Kerik wasn subpoenaed by the #Jan6thCommittee into the Willard Hotel “war room,” where Trump cronies plotted to prevent Congress from certifying @JoeBiden’s victory.🧐
