Trump saying he wanted to "play down" COVID-19 isn't news. We *knew* he was. Likewise, *of course* he knew how deadly it was. Advisers told him.

You want news? How about 5 major-media reports confirming the Trump White House knew of the virus in November 2019? #ProofofCorruption Image
PS/ "News" is shocking—not something one previously had reason to suspect. I think this week we'll hear as "news" many things long self-evident. Trump admitting to what everyone in America already knew isn't news. The White House lying about 2019 COVID-19 intelligence *is* news.
PS2/ Media is going to do the silly and stupid things it does—but Americans needn't play along. *We* decide what's important: discovering when the White House learned about COVID-19—November 2019—or "learning" that yes, as we all *knew*, *Trump* knew he was downplaying the virus.
PS3/ When actual news comes out about Trump, I tweet it, whether it comes from ABC News, NBC News, The Times of Israel, and others—like my research on when the Trump White House learned of the virus—or Bob Woodward. But I can't pretend non-news is news just because it's "new."
PS4/ I *strongly* urge people not to adopt any new timeline for the White House's virus response that sets the beginning of Trump's recognition of the virus danger at late January. That is false—that is not what happened. But I'm afraid that's the new line that is being sold now.
PS5/ I'm glad we're hearing Trump's words. But I saw this happen with FEAR and the Trump-Russia issue—a book that seemed to be "hard" on Trump wrongly said there was no collusion. Now, a book that seems "hard" on Trump will *revise the pandemic timeline* in a way that aids Trump.
PS6/ In any event, I'll say no more—as anyone who reads Chapter 42 of Proof of Corruption and sees my sourcing will understand why this is upsetting. It's far easier than many think for a book that seems hard on Trump to in fact be doing him a much bigger solid than any critique.

(📢) PROOF EXCLUSIVE: Are Far-Right Insurrectionists Infiltrating the Pro-Ceasefire Protests As Part of the Run-Up to the November Political Violence Trump Just Hinted at in Time Magazine?

🔗:

We *must* discuss this. (The report is free via trial offer.) sethabramson.substack.com/p/are-far-righ…

1/ This report is driven by two things: hard data and documented historical evidence.
2/ Moreover, it is a call for a major media investigation in the United States predicated on that hard data and documented historical evidence, not a claim that something is or is not happening. But evidence that something is happening *is* provided in bulk.

BREAKING: Trump Just Posted Online a Creepy QAnon Video About All of Earth “Submitting” to His Authority

[Be advised: this is a recruiting video for a domestic terror group that wants Trump to use all means—including violence—to become a global tyrant.]
(IMAGE) Image
(MORE) The QAnon recruiting video just posted by Trump—a rapist, career criminal, con man, and insurrectionist—ends with the image below, QAnon’s call for collective violence against, and/or concerted oppression of, *anyone* who does not “submit” to the will of God-Emperor Trump. Image

(1/3) Anyone who’s been paying attention understands that these protests aren’t going to stop. There’ll be more and more, at a larger and larger scale, at more and more colleges/universities. They’ll continue to be mostly peaceful; mostly advocating for wholly honorable causes...
(2/3) ...such as a ceasefire and an end to Trump friend Netanyahu’s attempted genocide; and they’ll on occasion be infiltrated by hardcore antisemites. The problem ultimately isn’t the protests. It’s the Trump-Netanyahu pro-genocide axis. Biden needs to be far bolder than...
(3/3) he has been, and the time has come to start *massively* conditioning any aid to Israel. But if you don’t understand that under a second Trump administration every Gazan will be wiped off the face of the Earth, you need to wake the f*ck up. To Trump, all Gazans are animals.

(THREAD) I’m a Trump biographer and presidential historian who’s also a NYT-bestselling journalist covering the criminal trial of Donald Trump on 34 felonies in New York.

This thread explains why I’m warning people to be careful about assuming David Pecker’s testimony is true. Image
1/ For the full PROOF report, see below. The first two sections are free, the remainder free with the trial offer at the link. The report title: “What Longtime Trump Associate Pecker Doesn’t Want to Discuss Involves a Plot to Steal the 2016 Election.”

🔗: sethabramson.substack.com/p/what-longtim…
Image
2/ I’ll start with the CNN summary below. It covers the part of the Pecker testimony today involving topics neither Pecker *nor Trump* want the public to properly understand. The Pecker testimony on Stormy Daniels is actually much *less* charged, because Pecker was less involved. Image

The Supreme Court of the United States is literally deciding today whether Donald Trump can legally have them all executed on January 20, 2025, and the upshot I get from major media updates from inside the courtroom is that they are taking a serious look at it

America is over
One justice said—apparently without breaking out in maniacal laughter and requiring a straitjacket—that it may not be fair to a POTUS to judge his motive when he engages in an act

“Mens rea” has only been one half the analysis of whether a crime has been committed for 500 years
This country has descended into absolute madness and I think it is really important that journalists do absolutely nothing to normalize it

What is happening at the Supreme Court today is not normal or okay or consistent with American traditions in any respect

You’re getting *very warm*, James.

I said that this criminal trial is very much about illegal election interference, and I meant it. Per usual, the good guys are only telling about 10% of the story in order to not ruffle feathers. But America deserves the full truth about this.
Keep in mind Cohen didn't front the money to AMI for these ops. Not only did AMI outlay cash on the front end as Trump was ramping up his whirlwind introduction of Pecker to his Saudi pals, but there were times the cost was so high AMI balked. Then... suddenly they had the money.
The Saudis went almost directly from their meeting with Donald Trump Jr. in Trump Tower—where they asked the Trump family exactly how they could help illegally steal the election for Trump—to AMI, with whom they immediately developed a highly lucrative relationship (...for AMI).
