Since January, a team of Post reporters led by @partlowj @fahrenthold @oconnellpostbiz @nickmiroff having been examining how much Trump’s private company has relied on undocumented workers, even as he has been railing against illegal immigration.
@partlowj @Fahrenthold @OConnellPostbiz @NickMiroff So far, we have interviewed 43 immigrants without legal status who were employed at Trump properties. They include waiters, maids and greenskeepers, as well as a caretaker at a hunting lodge that his two adult sons own in Upstate New York.

@partlowj @Fahrenthold @OConnellPostbiz @NickMiroff In January, Eric Trump told The Post that the company was “making a broad effort to identify any employee who has given false and fraudulent documents to unlawfully gain employment,” saying any such individuals would be immediately fired.

@partlowj @Fahrenthold @OConnellPostbiz @NickMiroff President Trump “doesn’t want undocumented people in the country,” said one worker, Jorge Castro, a 55-year-old immigrant from Ecuador without legal status who left the company in April after nine years. “But at his properties, he still has them.”

Inside the Capitol siege: How barricaded lawmakers and aides sounded urgent pleas for help as police lost control

By @karoun, @CarolLeonnig @pkcapitol @byaaroncdavis
wapo.st/3nBXwa4?tid=ss…
Barricaded in a room with his colleagues, a McConnell adviser began calling and texting former top officials at the Justice Department for help.

Speaking in a whisper, he told one the situation was dire: If backup did not arrive soon, people could die.
On New Years Eve, Rep. Maxine Waters asked the Capitol Police chief what intelligence the force had about how big the Jan. 6 gathering would be. Sund, she said, didn’t have a clear answer. “They don’t know who’s coming. They don’t know whether any of these are violent groups.”

EXCLUSIVE: Louis DeJoy’s rise as GOP fundraiser was powered by contributions from company workers who were later reimbursed, former employees say

By @byaaroncdavis @AmyEGardner @jonswaine
washingtonpost.com/investigations…
Two employees familiar with New Breed’s financial and payroll systems said DeJoy would instruct that bonus payments to staffers be boosted to help defray the cost of their contributions, an arrangement that would be unlawful.
“Louis was a national fundraiser for the Republican Party. He asked employees for money. We gave him the money, and then he reciprocated by giving us big bonuses,” said David Young, DeJoy’s longtime director of human resources.

It’s worth taking a moment to reflect on how much the public learned about Russian interference, contacts between Russians and Trump associates and the president’s actions in office because of rigorous independent reporting. Here are some highlights of @washingtonpost coverage.
Let’s begin in April 2016, when Trump was closing in on the GOP nomination. @stevenmufson and @thamburger scrutinized the record of Paul Manafort, who they wrote had “parlayed political relationships...into an array of intricate financial transactions with billionaire oligarchs.”

The Post has been documenting how Trump, his company and his family have relied on immigrant workers without legal status -- people he describes as criminal invaders. Our latest piece focuses on Juan Quintero, the caretaker for a Trump son hunting retreat:
washingtonpost.com/politics/the-p…
Quintero was so trusted by the Trumps that he had not one but two jobs working for the family.
He was a greenskeeper at the Trump National Golf Club Hudson Valley in Hopewell Junction, N.Y., where he would work eight-hour shifts on weekdays. Then he would put in five more hours each day at the 171-acre hunting retreat called Leather Hill Preserve.
