In 2017, the @AP began investigating AMI’s suppression of the 'Trump love child story.' Reporters were hours away from posting a piece when David Pecker's AMI sent a legal team, including, Lanny Davis, to meet with them. AP killed the piece.
#Maddow
USAO-SDNY subpoenaed David Pecker, AMI, & Trump Org the same day as the Michael Cohen raid. Investigators personally approached Pecker with a subpoena & delivered a separate one to AMI, seeking info about the McDougal payment, among other things...
#Maddow
Two AMI sources said the catch & kill operations had cemented a partnership between David Pecker & Trump, and subsequently, people close Trump introduced Pecker to funding sources for AMI –> Saudi crown prince, MBS [bribing a public official].
#Maddow
“Holy Shit, I thought Pecker would be the last one to turn”: Trump’s AMI/National Enquirer allies David Pecker & Dylan Howard corroborated Michael Cohen’s account implicating Trump in a federal crime. Lanny Davis says more revelations are coming.

!! NEW: AMI publisher David Pecker granted immunity in Michael Cohen case, met with prosecutors to describe involvement of Cohen & Trump in hush-money deals to women during 2016 election. National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard also won’t be charged.

At a Feb 2015 Trump Tower meeting, David Pecker & Trump planned how AMI could surface embarrassing info about Hillary Clinton during general election. Cohen was also present.
After election, Trump helped AMI secure funding.
#Maddow

National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard [who, along with AMI chief David Pecker, is cooperating in the Michael Cohen/Trump inquiry] was known to have a RECORDING DEVICE in his office.

Lordy, I hope there are tapes!

AMI keeps a strict policy ensuring emails are deleted regularly but it's not clear if the same goes for encrypted communications or RECORDINGS. Federal prosecutors cited encrypted comms between Pecker, Howard, & Cohen re the @StormyDaniels payoff.
#Maddow
National Enquirer kept a safe containing documents on hush money payments & other damaging stories it killed as part of its cozy relationship with Trump leading up to the 2016 election.

A safe? How many were there????
#Maddow
The National Enquirer hid documents on Trump's hush money payments & other damaging stories it killed for him – and other celebrities – in a safe.

Trump's former NSA accused him of treasonous conduct –– “aiding and abetting” Russia's attack on the 2020 election –– and the story was blown away by the never-ending firehose of craziness and disinformation generated by Trump and his crew.

Senior Pentagon leadership are quarantining after exposure to Vice Commandant of the US Coast Guard, Adm. Charles Ray, who tested COVID+ Monday:
-Gen. Mark Milley
-CoS of the USAF, Charles Brown
-Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gilday
-Chief of Space Operations, Gen. Raymond.
Head of U.S. Cyber Command, Gen. Paul Nakasone, is also among those quarantined.

Last Sunday, General Milley and many of the Pentagon’s senior leadership attended a White House reception for “Gold Star” families of fallen troops. Trump and Melania were at that event.nytimes.com/live/2020/10/0…

Feds are seizing masks and other #COVID19 supplies from hospitals without a word.

“Federal officials sweep in without warning to expropriate our supplies... Are they stockpiling it? Distributing it? Will we get any of it back? We can’t get any answers.”latimes.com/politics/story…
“Trump and other White House officials, including Jared Kushner, claim that the federal government is using a 'data-driven approach' to procure [STEAL] medical supplies from hospitals and direct them where they are most needed [TO HELP TRUMP'S REELECTION].”
!! Chairs of two key House panels are demanding answers about Jared Kushner's role “in the acquisition, distribution of, or federally directed sale of any form of PPE or medical supplies and equipment to be used for the diagnosis or treatment of COVID-19.”nbcnews.com/politics/white…

It took 70 days from the initial notification on Jan 3 for Trump to treat coronavirus not as a hoax, but as a lethal force poised to kill thousands. But by then, critical time had been squandered and opportunities to mitigate the pandemic were lost.washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Because of Trump and his admin's failures over the first 70 days of the coronavirus crisis, the US will likely go down as the country that was supposedly best prepared to fight a pandemic but ended up sustaining heavier casualties than any other nation.
For 70 days, Trump lied to the public about coronavirus.

By the time he proclaimed himself a wartime president and coronavirus the enemy, the US was on track to see more of its people die than in the wars of Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq combined.

NEW: Trump has fired intelligence community inspector general Michael Atkinson, who was first to sound the alarm to Congress last September about an “urgent” complaint he’d received from an intelligence official re Trump’s communications with Ukraine.politico.com/news/2020/04/0…
Schiff: Trump’s dead of night decision to fire ICIG Michael Atkinson is another blatant attempt to gut the independence of the Intelligence Community and retaliate against those who dare to expose presidential wrongdoing.
