🚨SCOOP at @Sludge: It appears Rep. Paul Gosar—known for Soros conspiracy theories & disowned by his 6 siblings—submitted a false travel report after his trip to London last summer.
He omitted a dinner w/ Steve Bannon & far-right European nationalists. readsludge.com/2019/04/04/pau…

@Sludge Seriously, it was a sinister affair. Guests included Belgian Felix DeWinter, whose party has honored Nazi SS collaborators, and Swede Erik Almqvist, who resigned from his neofascist political party after racist & white nationalist incidents. readsludge.com/2019/04/04/pau…
I discovered the omission in his report while watching @TheBrinkFilm, @aliklay's new doc on Steve Bannon's work in Europe. I'd covered Gosar's trip before for @Sludge & knew he hadn't listed this dinner.

It's important that we understand what's going on with the House Freedom Caucus.
Steve King flew to Auschvitz on a Holocaust Memorial group's dime, then went right to Austria to give an interview to a neo-Nazi-linked publication. readsludge.com/2018/10/25/aft…

Bannon is working on "The Movement" to unite European (white) nationalist parties with the goal of getting rid of (black and brown) immigrants. And they're looking for support from Trump & the most rightwing members of Congress like Gosar and King. readsludge.com/2019/04/04/pau… 
Meanwhile, their rhetoric—paired w/ propaganda media like Breitbart & reckless forums like Facebook—is leading to sharp increase in white nationalist terrorist attacks in the U.S. and in Europe. Unlike 1940s neofascists around the world are very connected. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
So not only is Paul Gosar participating in a global white nationalist movement, he's lying to his own colleagues in Congress about it.

I want to add that neither Gosar's office nor the employee of the foundation that funded his London trip, who was also at the dinner, responded to my questions. They had the opportunity to clear up any issues with the report & explain what happened, and didn't take it.
Based on the information I've got, it doesn't appear possible Gosar could have gone to both the alleged dinner w/ UK MP's and Bannon's dinner, even if the latter was on Gosar's personal dime. readsludge.com/2019/04/04/pau…
Regardless, his travel report, which was stamped 2 days after he returned, includes the inaccurate itinerary.
If the House Ethics Committee finds evidence he intentionally filed the false report, he could face serious consequences. readsludge.com/2019/04/04/pau…
