1/ Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie may have been one of the latest caught up in Malaysian fugitive Jho Low's wave of spending, according to @WSJ:
wsj.com/articles/u-s-p…
2/ Jho Low has been charged in Malaysia and is under investigation by the U.S. for his role as the architect of a $4.5 billion theft from the Malaysian investment fund 1MDB. wsj.com/articles/malay…
3/ Elliott Broidy, a Republican fundraiser, was another Trump confidant caught up in Jho Low's push to get the DoJ's investigation into 1MDB dropped: wsj.com/articles/trump…
4/ Trump buddy and investment partner Thomas Barrack hired Rick Gates to work on Trump's record-breaking $107 million inauguration.

Gates has pleaded guilty to conspiracy in the Mueller probe. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
5/ By the way, Barrack's Colony Capital was the first company to do business with Jho Low, who purchased the Beverly Hills L'Ermitage Hotel from Barrack for $44.8 million with the help of Yousef Al Otaiba, Ambassador to the UAE.
6/ Reporters @AmyWalters_ and @Patrick Madden @WAMU detail three major intersections between Jho Low's allegedly stolen 1MDB money trail and people close to Trump in this episode: revealnews.org/episodes/check…
7/ Two months after Jho Low spent $44.8 million of what the DoJ says was stolen money on Tom Barrack's hotel, Barrack's Colony Capital spent $44.9 million on Jared Kushner's $1.2 Billion dollar 666 Fifth Ave. Mortgage.

8/ Jho Low also partnered with Trump real estate buddies Steve Witkoff and Howard Loerber on the Park Lane hotel using money DoJ says was stolen from 1MDB.
9/ And he transferred $35 million to his New York attorneys for the winning bid on penthouse 52A at Trump International Hotel and Tower.

Trump once owned 52A.
10/ Malaysia's former Prime Minister Najib Razak also is implicated.

He visited Trump at the White House in September 2017 and brought more than 60 guests to stay at President Trump's Washington DC hotel.
11/ Najib has been voted out of office and faces corruption and money laundering charges in Malaysia.
12/ A week ago, Malaysian police filed eight criminal charges against Jho Low.

@WSJ reports he is being "harbored" by China now. wsj.com/articles/malay…
13/ The US DoJ investigation into 1MDB continues.

1/ Before leaving office, @SecretaryZinke rejected scientists + bypassed Congress to build a “lifesaving road” on a pristine wildlife refuge.

Our reporting suggests the real purpose is transporting seafood – and helping the world’s biggest fish processor. revealnews.org/article/trumps…
2/ For six decades, the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, tucked along the coast of the Bering Sea in Alaska, has been protected as one of the wildest nature spots on Earth, remote enough to escape development.
3/ That began to change about a year ago, when Zinke signed a land swap that aimed to create better access between the cannery town of King Cove and a nearby airport.

Part of the deal was building 12 miles of road.

1/ In this week’s episode: Officials from @NatlParkService heaped pressure on scientist @Dr_Caffrey to get her to remove all mentions of manmade climate change from a trailblazing scientific report.

It’s part of a larger pattern. revealnews.org/episodes/silen…
2/ Maria Caffrey, a University of Colorado researcher under contract with the @NatlParkService, spent years calculating how much flooding 118 national parks should expect from sea level rise and storm surge.
3/ But after @realdonaldTrump took office, the release of Caffrey’s research was stalled. Officials began trying to censor it.

We reported that first, in April 2018: revealnews.org/article/wipeou…

1/ Tech cos @Oracle, @PalantirTech & others gave some weak excuses for trying to keep their diversity numbers secret.

They said:

*Other companies would steal their workers.

*It would invade employee privacy.

*And the kicker: They'd face bad PR. revealnews.org/article/oracle…
2/ We challenged those excuses, suing the government. We won.

Now, government contractors can't hide their EEO-1 reports, which show their workforce broken down by race, gender and broad job category.
3/ It also means we can see the wild arguments they have made for hiding their numbers.

Buckle up.

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
