UPDATE: Last week, I asked the Trump campaign for the winners of the 15 contests for meals w/Trump.

No response.

Yesterday, after I published my investigation, the campaign responded, claiming "people win the contests each time."

But offered no proof.

popular.info/p/the-trump-ca…
An important point is that the Trump campaign is LEGALLY OBLIGATED TO RELEASE THE NAMES OF THE WINNERS and a description of the specific prizes they won.

But they are still refusing.

If these meals occurred, the campaign's behavior is inexplicable.

popular.info/p/the-trump-ca…
I am continuing to seek this information from the Trump campaign, through legal channels mandated by state law, and the public.

If you have any information about these contests and who, if anyone, won them you can reach me securely at jlegum@protonmail.com

I do not know whether there were winners or not. But I think accountability is important.
The Trump campaign will not voluntarily provide the names of the winners or a description of the prizes

So I just sent a request, via overnight mail, for that info. The Trump campaign is obligated to respond per the terms of their "Official Rules" and the laws of several states

1. For the last 13 months BRETT KAVANAUGH has kept a low profile.

That changes tonight, when Kavanaugh is honored as the keynote speaker at The Federalist Society's annual black tie dinner.

And who is a "Gold Circle" sponsor of the event?

FACEBOOK

popular.info/p/facebook-fet…
2. Last year, many Facebook employees were angry when a top Facebook executive, Joel Kaplan, showed up to support Kavanaugh

Facebook attempted to control the damage & Kaplan apologized

Now, Facebook is sponsoring Kavanaugh's return to the public stage

popular.info/p/facebook-fet…
3. One thing that has changed since Kavanaugh's confirmation is that the evidence against Kavanaugh has gotten STRONGER.

Specifically, there are now more corroborating evidence to support the claims of Deborah Ramirez, who wasn't even allowed to testify

1. My reporting yesterday raised questions about Campbell Brown, the top Facebook exec in charge of the new Facebook News initiative.

Facebook defended Brown, but Facebook REFUSES TO RELEASE A LIST OF PUBLICATIONS THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN FACEBOOK NEWS

popular.info/p/facebooks-to…
2. We know Brown decided to include BREITBART as a "trusted" publication in Facebook news.

And we know Brown co-founded a website that is now harshly attacking Warren.

We also know Zuckerberg wants Facebook News to reach HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE

popular.info/p/facebooks-to…
3. What other publications are included in Facebook News?

Facebook is keeping it secret as it plans to promote the outlets in this tab to million in advance of the 2020 election.

I'm going to continue to dig.

Wow.

The Trump campaign used Facebook ads to cynically exploit VETERANS DAY and collect email addresses and donations

STEP 1: Place Facebook ad asking people to "Join President Trump in thanking American Veterans"
STEP 2: Submit your email address to the Trump campaign and get added to the email list.

No veterans are thanked when you fill out this form.
STEP 3: Once you fill out the form, you are immediately directed to a fundraising page.

Last month we broke the news on twitter that @_PaperMoonSS had booked a show with Roger Stone. Since then, people have called for it to be cancelled and national media has covered the event.

W/ the event a few days away, I want to emphasize safety concerns w/ this event.(1/24)🧜🏻‍♀️
Shortly after my initial post last month someone reminded me of Roger Stones connections to the violent far-right neo-fascist group known as the Proud Boys.

Similar to @TheNationalRVA hosting #BLEXIT, @_PaperMoonSS hosting Roger Stone has serious safety concerns. (2/24)🧜🏻‍♀️
After being reminded of the RS-PB connection, I had an online convo with @BlackCat_Events. We discussed some of the concerns I have about the event. His stance was pretty clear: free speech. (3/24)🧜🏻‍♀️

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

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

National politics correspondent for Newsweek, Nina Burleigh, with a fun find on a TV above the bar at the Trump Hotel DC bit.ly/2E37QRR
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
