Nice catch by @stevebenen on USPS head DeJoy

In 2017, the RNC announced 4 national finance chairs: Steve Wynn (accused of sexual misconduct), Elliott Broidy (under investigation), Michael Cohen (guilty & served time) & Louis DeJoy (dismantling USPS)

I tweeted about RNC finanace committee co-chairs often and even tweeted out the initial announcement, but missed Louis DeJoy’s name at the end

(lesson: never underestimate propensity for obscure names in Trump’s orbit to make the news for shady activity)
The former RNC finance leadership team is an incredible microcosm of the worst of the GOP - sexual misconduct, financial crimes, election interference

The Biggest Trump Financial Mystery? Where He Came Up With the Cash for His Scottish Resorts - Trump dumped $400 million into his clubs in Aberdeen and Turnberry. Now, lawmakers in Edinburgh want to investigate him for money laundering, by @russchoma

Here's a chart I created of Trump's Scottish properties. The structure is not unusual and is very simple, the chart is to help other researchers see all the related entities, and provides source links below the chart

Amazing story:

Trump cribbed a coat of arms from Joseph Edward Davies, whose wife built Mar-a-Lago and had been granted the crest in the 1930s. Trump made one minor change, erasing the family motto of “integritas” (integrity) & replacing it with "Trump"

I was recently reminded about this 2017 tweet on the Mercer's Reclaim New York with board director Leonard Leo

Since then we've seen Leo's massive influence picking judicial appointments

So here are a few new findings and old references on Leo / thread

To start, for anyone who needs some background, here’s a great thread by @emlas from 2018 on Leonard Leo and his many ties to dark money groups
Reclaim New York Inc is a 501c3 nonprofit and 990 financials are on ProPublica from Sept 2013 incorporation through 2017

In 2017 Rebekah Mercer was Chairman & Treasurer, Brandon Muir Exec Director, Jennifer Mercer Dir & Sect, and Leonard Leo was Director
