[Thread] 👇 Journalist Bob #Woodward's new book 'Rage' covers #COVID19, Trumps relationship with Kim Jong Un, and blackmail. businessinsider.com/8-most-shockin…
@realDonaldTrump admits he played down the pandemic, and told Woodward that the virus is "more deadly than even your strenuous flus." For weeks after that conversation, Trump repeatedly told the public that the coronavirus was no worse than the seasonal flu.
The US has the worst COVID-19 numbers in the world in terms of cases and fatalities, but Trump consistently diminished the threat to the public. businessinsider.com/trump-repeated…
Many are criticizing #Woodward for sitting on this information prior to the worst of the pandemic, as clips from February include Trump discussing the severity of the virus. Woodward claims he held onto them for further fact checking.

In other interviews with Woodward, #Trump bragged about a secret new nuclear weapon. "I have built a nuclear — a weapons system that nobody's ever had in this country before," Trump reportedly said. businessinsider.com/trump-told-rep…
President Donald Trump also spoke to Woodward in an interview on June 19 where he said that he felt no responsibility to better understand the pain of many Black Americans.

This week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbotts’ sent migrants to Martha’s Vineyard and Vice President Kamala Harris’ home in Washington D.C.

Here’s what you need to know and what’s next for the migrants. ⬇️
businessinsider.com/desantis-abbot…
Both governors say President Joe Biden’s policies are failing to stem unauthorized migration and that Democratic-led cities should deal with them.

The White House and Democrats are furious, calling the move a political stunt and inhumane. businessinsider.com/desantis-abbot…
DeSantis, who is running for re-election and is considered a potential 2024 presidential contender, chartered two planes to transport migrants from Texas.

The migrants thought they were being sent to Boston for expedited work permits, per @NPR. businessinsider.com/migrants-ron-d… Text graphic featuring a quote from Ardenis Nazareth, told t

Age doesn't necessarily define success in Congress. A leader's character and platform count.

More youthful representation would better serve the country, young members of Congress say. But cautionary tales abound. 👇

businessinsider.com/congress-young… A red, white, and blue car...
Voters in western North Carolina chose youth when they elected Madison Cawthorn to Congress.

Now, the firebrand conservative is on his way out of office. Republicans have dropped their support, labeling him an "embarrassment" and "immature."

businessinsider.com/congress-young…
But members of Congress, political scientists, and strategists generally don't blame age for these downfalls — leaders both young and old are prone to controversy.

To them, a successful leader possesses many qualities, all of which matter more than age.

It’s not easy to secure a federal search warrant against a former US president.

Legal experts told @thisisinsider that agents must prove an extremely high degree of probable cause.

A former federal prosecutor said Trump was "in deep legal trouble." 👇

businessinsider.com/what-you-need-…
Former president Donald Trump confirmed Monday that federal agents had executed a search warrant at his South Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, in a search multiple news outlets reported was related to whether he mishandled classified government documents. businessinsider.com/what-you-need-…
Regardless of its focus, legal experts quickly reached a consensus about the raid: A pile of evidence must have backed up the warrant authorizing the search. businessinsider.com/what-you-need-… Text graphic featuring a quote from David Laufman, former to

Cassidy Hutchinson, the former Trump White House aide who emerged as a star witness at the January 6 hearings, continued working for Trump for nine weeks after he left office, according to government records exclusively obtained by @thisisinsider.
businessinsider.com/cassidy-hutchi…
Hutchinson served as a “coordinator” for Trump’s official, taxpayer-funded, post-presidential office from about January 20, 2021, to April 1, 2021, earning an annualized salary of $90,000, the General Services Administration documents state. businessinsider.com/cassidy-hutchi…
The documents establish that Hutchinson continued to earn a government paycheck for work in support of Trump for weeks after she witnessed his actions — and lack of action — on January 6, even as other colleagues resigned soon thereafter. businessinsider.com/cassidy-hutchi…

🇺🇸 Jockeying over the 2024 US presidential election has begun.

Many plans are contingent upon decisions from Biden and Trump. If there isn't a Biden-Trump matchup, here are the people showing signs they could be in the 2024 mix. 👇

Florida Gov. @RonDeSantisFL has been portrayed as a MAGA star who could replace Trump.

He's a proven fundraiser with more than $100 million for his gubernatorial reelection campaign. @CNBC reports that he's headed to a Utah private fundraiser this month.

As the only two of @JoeBiden's rivals from the 2020 primary to end up with jobs in the administration, @PeteButtigieg and @VP @KamalaHarris are the clear heirs apparent should Biden bow out.

Moore v. Harper saw Democratic voters and nonprofits call in to court congressional maps drawn by Republican lawmakers in North Carolina following the 2020 census. They argued Republicans unfairly gerrymandered districts, violating the state constitution.
