Last week, we won a victory that might just be the key to understanding what exactly Jared Kushner was up to in the White House for four years…

In a reversal of policy after CREW sued the Trump admin, Jared handed over his WhatsApp messages to the National Archives before leaving the White House.

No one will have access to the records for several years, but here’s what we’ll be looking for:

Jared ran a “shadow” task force during the first months of the pandemic using private email accounts.

We’d love to know who he communicated with about covid response, especially after a report that he spiked national testing for political gain.

Jared’s brother also co-founded a company that developed a government website to locate covid tests. Are there messages on that?

Another big problem was the fact that Jared apparently ran the Trump 2020 campaign from the White House. If there are WhatsApp messages about exactly how that was legal, we’d love to see them.

Then there’s also the matter of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump making hundreds of millions on the side while working “for free” in the White House.

What did they do to earn all that?

Did his government role and personal profits overlap?

What exactly was going on with Cadre?

And of course, we need to know more about the influence that foreign governments wielded using personal relationships with Jared.

In the case of Saudi Arabia, we know Jared communicated via WhatsApp with MBS. We can’t wait to see those messages...

Congress needs to enact federal legislation securing every American’s right to vote

Start with uniform standards for state voter registration, including online registration systems, longer periods for voter registration, same-day registration and automatic voter registration

We need criminal penalties for interfering with someone's voter registration

2020 is finally, finally almost over.

We’re assuming it’s been as much of a blur for you as it has for us, so here's a quick review of the year in corruption.

As hard as it may be to believe, 2020 started with Trump’s impeachment trial in January. CREW dug into Library of Congress records and found that Trump’s was the first completed trial in US history in which the Senate called no witnesses.

In March, the pandemic changed everything...but nothing about corruption.

We saw members of Congress dumping stocks after getting classified briefings about the pandemic, so we filed a complaint and called for members to be banned from trading stocks.

We reviewed the Dominion voting machines in PA and the results may shock you! In counties using Dominion machines, Trump won 52.2%-46.7%. In counties not using Dominion machines, Biden won 50.8%-48.0%. So does this mean Dominion was really rigging the vote for Trump?

No, of course not. Don't be ridiculous. But it does show just how absurd the lies being peddled by Trump and his supporters really are. If you say Dominion was rigged and throw those votes out, Trump actually loses PA even worse than he really did.

The great thing is that all this info is public, and has been public this whole time. See votespa.com/Voting-in-PA/P… for a county breakdown on which machines were used and electionreturns.pa.gov for a county breakdown of results.

One of the people asking for legal immunity in the final weeks of the Trump administration is Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. President Trump has been a supporter of MBS, even after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

President Trump’s financial connections to Saudi Arabia have been well established.

MBS' visit to New York drove a spike in quarterly profits at the Trump hotel in Manhattan during 2018. Though he didn’t stay there, his entourage did, and they spent enough to put the hotel in the black.

Our government is facing a legitimacy crisis. People are taking note of widespread, race-based disenfranchisement, the disproportionate power of certain voters in certain states, and the broken process of Supreme Court nominations.

Something’s got to change, and soon.

1. Guarantee every American’s right to vote.

2. Grant statehood to the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, ensuring that their citizens have real representation.

3. Twice in the last twenty years, the presidential candidate who won the support of the most Americans did not win the most electoral votes. States should consider assigning electors based on the national popular vote instead.
