Laura Ingraham hosted Dr. William Grace yesterday, "from Lenox Hill Hospital."

A spokesperson from Lenox Hill told me that Dr. Grace is not employed by the Hospital. He is a private physician who has admitting privileges. His views are his own and do not represent the hospital.
Fox News: Malaria drugs touted by Trump can work against coronavirus, top doc tells Laura Ingraham

"CNN is accusing Trump of peddling 'false hope' with chloroquine; reaction from Dr. William Grace, oncologist at Lenox Hill hospital in New York City."

foxnews.com/media/malaria-…
INGRAHAM (2:38): "Is it just false hope, or do we have at least examples in our country right now of this working, including in YOUR HOSPITAL?"

Dr. Grace responds, citing data -- but he does not address Ingraham's reference to "your hospital."
Sen. Joe Pennacchio, state senator from New Jersey, commended Trump for his "true leadership" in advocating for use of chloroquine to treat infected patients.

In a statement, @joepennacchio cited "Dr. William Grace, a top oncologist at Lenox Hill Hospital" -- which he isn't.
Nigeria Has Chloroquine Poisonings After Trump Praised Drug
Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the NIAID, cautioned that the evidence that chloroquine will work for #COVID19 is thin.

Trump seemed to contradict Dr. Fauci on chloroquine: “I’m probably more of a fan of that — maybe than anybody."

Trump's tweets are poisoning people. Literally. Fox News and Laura Ingraham misrepresented the credentials of Dr. William Grace to bolster Trump's message about chloroquine. Dr. Grace is not employed by Lenox Hill Hospital.
Fox News issued a correction

Editor's Note: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated Dr. William Grace's relationship to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Dr. Grace is not employed by the hospital and his opinions given below are his own. foxnews.com/media/malaria-…
Even though Fox News issued a correction to their online story, Laura Ingraham still incorrectly identified Dr. William Grace in this Fox video clip. As Fox corrected: "Dr. Grace is not employed by Lenox Hill Hospital, and his opinions given are his own." video.foxnews.com/v/614358995600…
The FDA is walking back Trump's false statement that the agency approved anti-malarial drug chloroquine as a treatment for #COVID19.

Host Robin Young talks to Dr. Len Horovitz, a pulmonologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.

Hi @USTreasury. IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig is a Trump holdover. Are any of the IRS's current challenges during Biden administration related to Rettig screwing things up out of his loyalty to Donald Trump? Just askin.
IRS Chief Charles Rettig, a Trump holdover, serves at the pleasure of @POTUS. His term is due to expire Nov 12, 2022, AFTER midterm elections.
Sen. @RonWyden sent a letter to IRS chief Charles Rettig, a Trump holdover, in January 2021, demanding investigation into tax-exempt groups involved in Jan. 6 insurrection. Rettig never publicly responded to Sen. Wyden's letter. Why not?

Letter from Mazars to Trump Org attorney Alan Garten:

"We write to advise that the Statements of Financial Condition for Donald J. Trump for the years ending June 30, 2011 - June 30, 2020, should no longer be relied upon"

I have reached out to Garten for comment re #Liability
"The statements, which Mr. Trump used to secure loans, are at the center of the two law enforcement investigations into whether Mr. Trump exaggerated the value of his properties to defraud his lenders into providing him the best possible loan terms." nytimes.com/2022/02/14/nyr…
I have reached out to @DeutscheBank and @jpmorgan for comment about Trump's outstanding loans, secured with information about his financial condition that could "no longer be relied upon," as Mazars said in its letter to Trump Org attorney.

Twitter banned Trump in January 2021 "due to the risk of further incitement of violence."

So why is @Twitter allowing Trump to evade his Twitter ban and continue to incite violence?

I'm a Twitter shareholder. I asked @TwitterIR to address risk of allowing Trump and his proxy accounts to tweet election lies on the service.

No one from Twitter has replied to my #OpenLetter to Twitter CEO @paraga & Board Chair @btaylor about #Risk $TWTR nancylevine.medium.com/twitter-has-qu…

HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN

@Twitter has "banned Trump and his allies over spreading false claims about the election, both intended to be disincentives for lodging baseless allegations. But the theories remain popular among many Trump supporters."
$TWTR
washingtonpost.com/politics/inter…
Allowing election lies to propagate on its service is bad for business. Election lies spurred Jan 6 violence. Danger continues.

$TWTR misses announced on today's Q4 earnings call.

@washingtonpost story above needs an editor's note.

Inaccurate: "major social media companies have banned Trump and his allies over spreading false claims about the election."

@Twitter has not banned Trump's chief spokesperson, Liz Harrington.
