NEW: Let Trump and the House Committees duke out discovery matters over subpoena, Deutsche's attorney writes.

"The underlying controversy concerning the Intervenor-Defendants' subpoenas is a dispute between the Plaintiffs and the Intervenor-Defendants." @CourthouseNews
Translation: Trump wants "limited" expedited discovery over the subpoenas before the hearing, and Deutsche's effectively saying they don't have a dog in that fight.
Capital One's counsel: What Deutsche said.
Tl;dr, both of banks are ducking out of this part of the fight, for now.

Trump and the House Committees will wrangle over the future of the subpoenas.

One of the strongest visual associations with the historical memory of the New Deal is the Works Progress Administration's art, theater and murals.

Serious question: Do either the federal Green New Deal or its local progeny envision increased government funding of the arts?
From what I can see, there's not a word of it in the House bill, and it's not on a 130+ point list of the New York City "indicators" of its GND: OneNYC.

It seems notable how far government arts funding has been marginalized that this part of the New Deal has been discarded.
There also seems to be a sad contradiction about an initiative that asks the public to be bold, ambitious and visionary, while simultaneously shredding all that artsy stuff from the legislation that inspired it.

ANALYSIS: @NYCMayor de Blasio believes that he should hold Trump to account, but his Green New Deal dramatically undercounted Trump's possible liabilities.

Per city data, de Blasio left out Trump's dirtiest building by far.

Chart here, and thread ahead: public.tableau.com/profile/adam.k…
Here are the buildings that de Blasio included in his calculations of Trump's possible liabilities under his Green New Deal.

One of the buildings NOT on this list: 1290 Avenue of the Americas, described by Forbes as a "Secret Windfall" and "Crown Jewel." forbes.com/sites/danalexa…
Per Forbes, Trump's 30 percent stake in it makes him its largest beneficiary.

To put it in perspective, 1290 Avenue of the Americas produced more than three times in metric tons of carbon as his flagship Trump Tower in 2016.

Yesterday, Mayor de Blasio estimated Trump would owe $2.1M/year if his buildings didn't get greener by 2030.

Using #NYCOpenData on CO2 emissions for 2016, I started mapping Manhattan buildings that produced >5K metric tons that year. Work-in-progress. public.tableau.com/views/NYCbuild…
Note: I chose to filter for >5K metric tons because at least three Trump buildings fit that description in 2016.

Trump Towers: 5,780 MT CO2
Trump Building: 6,096
Trump International Hotel & Tower: 5,188

Data comes from here: data.cityofnewyork.us/Environment/En…
There may be a more effective way to map this, and actual data journalists might want to present other perspectives on the information. Advice welcome.

This chart, however, helps visualize where some of the biggest reported CO2-emitters stand in Manhattan (borough filter).

Here's a thread re the Dutch Complaint for fraud and money laundering against Rudy Giuliani, that was mentioned in the Newsweek article. Rudy set up the vehicle for the money to flow to Trump.

I'm late to the party but have four thoughts on how this statement affects a number of the ongoing battles between #Trump and the #House -- including those relating to investigations, subpoenas, and obstruction of justice.
First, to the extent Trump disputes the accuracy of key facts in the #Mueller report, that massively enhances Congress's case for seeing the unredacted report, having #Mueller testify, having #McGahn testify, and having its subpoenas honored. So Trump shot himself in the foot.
Second, McGahn is a potentially dangerous witness for Trump, so Trump's pattern of attacking him (manifested yet again here) is very risky. Indeed, Trump's penchant for publicly blasting current and former officials may well cause him many more headaches going forward.

Deutsche Bank ♥️ Trump

📌A Profitable Decades-long Love Affair

📌Why on earth would Deutsche Bank (DB) continue to lend money to a notorious loan defaulter like Trump?

📌This is a key part re TrumpRussia
‼️Theory:‼️

Is it logical to conclude that Russia funnels (launders) money into Deutsche Bank, which then ‘washes’ money via back door deals & then loans the money to Trump.

Ergo is DB the middleman between RU & Trump earning sizable fees on every transaction? Win, win, no?
Russia:

Investigators are seeking evidence in a massive money laundering scheme involving Deutsche Bank about the practice of hiding money offshore to elude tax collectors and government regulators.

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
