Payday lending rules, Jared Kushner's trip to the Middle East, Erik Prince — and, of course, the Mueller report. Here's this week's news roundup: americanoversight.org/news-roundup-a…
CFPB has proposed rolling back a payday lending rule that placed restrictions on lenders. We're asking for communications between groups that represent the payday loan industry and CFPB officials: americanoversight.org/document/foia-…
Is the administration prioritizing Trump's personal interests over diplomatic relations? We filed FOIAs for communications between State Department officials and the Japanese government regarding reported requests to nominate Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize: americanoversight.org/document/foia-…
We filed FOIAs with the State Department for information about a February delegation to the Middle East led by Jared Kushner. Embassy officials were reportedly sidelined during planning — especially for the Saudi Arabia portion. americanoversight.org/document/foia-…

We obtained FEMA records about the contract given to a one-employee company to provide meals in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria. The records show that the company only provided 50,000 of the 30 million meals they were contracted for: americanoversight.org/documents-high…
FEMA emails show that shipment tracking numbers were "never loaded in the system" and that they "lost visibility" of the shipments as they went from Jacksonville to Puerto Rico: documentcloud.org/documents/5788…
One email indicates that it is not FEMA policy to inspect meals or other goods sent to a disaster-response site after they are shipped from the vendor: documentcloud.org/documents/5788…

NEW: We filed two lawsuits today to shed light on the influence that two casino magnates and major Trump donors — Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn — have had on the administration: americanoversight.org/lawsuits-seek-…
We submitted FOIA requests to multiple agencies for communications with and about Adelson and Wynn, as well as for records related to meetings Adelson had with Rex Tillerson and Steven Mnuchin: americanoversight.org/lawsuits-seek-…
We uncovered emails showing that in 2017 the White House had asked to meet with a DOJ official who was working on litigation involving Wynn. A few months after the meeting request, the administration reversed a tip-pooling rule that Wynn had been fighting. thedailybeast.com/white-house-in…

News Roundup: As investigations swirl around the White House, and as the Trump administration escalates its fight with Congress, it's clear that the president believes that the rules do not apply to him: americanoversight.org/news-roundup-a…
Trump’s failure to divest from his businesses has allowed him to profit off the presidency in unprecedented ways. We've been investigating the ways Trump has mixed business with public service: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
During the record-long government shutdown, a National Park Service site attached to the Trump International Hotel remained open. We obtained records indicating that GSA officials were frustrated by their agency’s slow response in explaining the decision: eenews.net/stories/106026…

I will try to make an ACTIVE thread of the Mueller report here.

This first part is about Seth Rich. Who is the source? “We have the source”?
IDK BUT

This is one part about Seth Rich & Wikileaks.

#MuellerReportFindsNoCollusion
Here are some other sections dealing with the DNC leaks & possibly Seth Rich connection.

#MuellerReport
General summary after 150 pages
Most of the report shows who we already know as plants being the ones who communicated with Russia i.e Cohen and Manafort.

Here’s another reason to think that the #MUELLER REPORT is going to be devastating for Trump. 1/10
So far no member of Trump’s family has been indicted, including Don Jr., even though Don Jr (according to all reliable reporting) lied his *** off behind closed doors in Congressional hearings. 2/10
And Don Jr. hasn’t been questioned by Team Mueller, which legal experts say is ominous for him, as it is a sign he is a target. 3/10

“The Trump Administration’s interactions with Saudi Arabia have been shrouded in secrecy, raising significant questions about the nature of the relationship,” according to a memo by the House Oversight Committee released today newsweek.com/jared-kushner-…
The so-called “the Middle East Marshall Plan” being floated by the Trump administration involved Michael Flynn and Thomas Barrack, the Trump inauguration chairman who recently defended Saudi Arabia's murder of Jamal Khashoggi newsweek.com/jared-kushner-…
“It just goes to show that Barrack, despite his last role being the Trump inauguration campaign chair, is still intimately involved with Trump and his administration," @KatiePhang told me newsweek.com/jared-kushner-…

Thread: On Papadopolous and Associated Conspiracy Theories

1. George Papadopolous (Pdop) has been making a lot of news lately (at least on Tw@tter). He’s been naming names, accusing the UK and Australia of nefarious actions, and weighing in supporting @POTUS.
2. Here’s one of his recent tweets in which he lists those he claimed were “illegally spying on Trump” and him:
3. We’ve already established that Pdop was palling around with a lot of interesting characters, e.g., Vinogradova, Mifsud, Halper, Tawil, Downer, Turk, Millian, etc. A pretty interesting bunch with whom to associate for a 31-year-old!
