Jared Kushner Selling Stake in Firm That Pursued Federal Tax Break nyti.ms/3aq4wQW
A few back up documents. Ivanka Trump has been a participant in the push to promote Opportunity Zones and Cadre, which Jared Kushner helped found and held a stake in, pushed into the area in a big way
As Jared exited his investment, he got what is known as a Certificate of Divestiture from the Office of Gov Ethics that allows him to defer any capital gains taxes on money he made on his holding in Cadre
We discussed this move by Cadre as part of our story on Opportunity Zones last year that examined how the tax benefit intended to help poor communities had become a bonanza for the rich, including friends/family of President Trump. With @JesseDrucker nytimes.com/2019/08/31/bus…

Major US airlines have expanded their policies allowing folks to change plans with no fee. Previously, on AA had been only on flights booked since March 1. Now, any flight planned through April 30, including those booked earlier can be changed without fee. This was the right move
Here is Delta's revised policy as well. Tickets booked before or after March 1 now.
And here is United. Similar flexibility. (Know there are other airlines. But going to stop here)

Port of Los Angeles is projecting a 25% drop in container volumes this month, as the economic impact of the coronavirus spreads across shipping operations and foreign supply chain. Imagine if 1 in 4 goods imported from Asia suddenly stopped coming. Impact just starting.
Here is where the data will show up. It will not be until around March 15 that they have data for February. Here is January only data, which was before major decline started. portoflosangeles.org/business/stati…
Another data point. Massive drop in air pollution in manufacturing belt of China, where goods that supply much of the world are made. Many factories offline

New EMAIL: FOIA release from DOD tonight to @weareoversight confirms that Pompeo, Esper and Bolton (as NYT reported in December) had all concluded by late Aug 2019 that Ukraine aid should be released. Yet Trump kept freeze in place.
@weareoversight Here is the full page of that email
@weareoversight Here a DOD contractor--waiting to send military gear to Ukraine--asks why is the hold in place? What are the "larger policy issues involved here?" Again, NYT had seen emails like this in December. But more evidence here of friction over hold.

Welcome to today's #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial thread (potentially one of a few)! I've been playing around with tags a little in other tweets this morning but for now, I'm going to stick with the two I've used here. That may change later on, though. Follow/mute at will!
Today is going to be procedural stuff. The Senate will have to approve the (completely BS) rules proposed by McConnell. Dems will offer amendments, of course, but since a simple majority rules I don't have a lot of hope any of the amendments will pass. #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial
For those of you just tuning in, McConnell is proposing that this trial have:

Zero witnesses
Zero admitted evidence
Ridiculously little time set aside for opening arguments and questions.
As little sunlight as possible.

Restarting:

When you think Trump has no ideology, remember this:

Alexander Nix from SCL / Cambridge Analytica:

The candidate is always a puppet. Always.
Bannon: Trump is a blunt instrument....

Prosecutors: #Epstein had a "vast trove of lewd" photos of young women or girls.

Agents also found "in a locked safe ... compact discs with hand-written labels including 'Young [Name] + [Name],' 'Misc nudes 1' and 'Girl pics nudes" #JeffreyEpsteinArrest cnbc.com/2019/07/08/jef…
"For all his infamy, there are scant details of how he made his money. He ran a money management firm catering to the ultra-rich (primarily Wexner) but its assets were never made public & few on Wall Street have dealt w/ him as financier or money manager." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

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
