NEWS: Trump told @costareports that House Dems should be satisfied with the Mueller report and he opposes having aides testify. "There is no reason to go any further, and especially in Congress where it’s very partisan."

Trump doesn't understanding...anything.
@Maddow @11thHour
Trump says he's opposed to current and former WH aides testifying before Congress and that WH Counsel has not “made a final, final decision" on asserting executive privilege but they already waived it so the final, final decision HAS been made.
#Maddow wapo.st/2Gvjw2C?tid=ss…
In which, a lifelong criminal says he doesn't want WITNESSES, who will most assuredly incriminate him, testifying in a hearing which could finally lead to his demise. Shocking.

A Saudi-based network of 5,000 pro-Trump Twitter bots that railed against the “Russiagate hoax” shortly after the Mueller report release were removed from Twitter. The same bots also pushed messages backing Kushner's pal, MBS.

Saudi Arabia and their contractors have conducted extensive influence campaigns on Twitter in recent years. Former MBS advisor, al-Qahtani, is known as the “Minister of the Flies” for hiring bot and troll armies to swarm on detractors of the govt.
#Maddow
Where there's a "troll farm," Cambridge Analytica or its parent company SCL won't be far behind. SCL [which received $15M from Robert Mercer in 2014] worked for the Saudi govt in 2014 and recently helped shape Crown Prince MBS's "reform efforts."

At the #TIME100Summit, Jared Kushner downplays Russian interference in the 2016 election to @ByBrianBennett, describing it as “a few Facebook ads,” saying it was a “terrible thing” but not “impactful.”

Stunning how Kushner lies with such ease.
When asked by @ByBrianBennett about Saudi Prince MBS' involvement in Jamal Khashoggi’s murder, Jared Kushner, who's rumored to be "in MBS' pocket," says he's “not going to dispute US Inteligence” and claims he advised MBS to “be as transparent as possible.”
#TIME100Summit @TIME
"More than 5,000 Saudi government backed, pro-Trump Twitter bots railed against the “Russiagate hoax” shortly after the release of the Mueller Report last week." nbcnews.to/2IPkzNH

It's obvious why Jared Kushner continues to cover for MBS.
