NEWS - Giuliani allies have been pressing for Trump team to have Trump's legal defense money cover Rudy legal bills Ben Protess and me nytimes.com/2021/05/04/us/…
The tensions over Giuliani's unpaid legal work - and mounting legal bills stemming from Dominion and Smartmatic - have uncomfortable echos for some Trump allies to the situation with Michael Cohen nytimes.com/2021/05/04/us/…
Giuliani advisers believe that Trump is not the one to blame for why Giuliani's fees haven't been covered, and blame his advisers. But people close to Trump say that, so far, Trump has been adamant about not paying Giuliani nytimes.com/2021/05/04/us/…
A bunch of Giuliani's expenses related to his post-Nov. 3 efforts were finally paid in January, before Trump left office, but that was a drawn-out process requiring Trump to sign off, per people briefed nytimes.com/2021/05/04/us/…
Giuliani allies were disappointed he didn't get a pre-emptive pardon at the end of Trump's term. Such a pardon was discussed in White House but Trump was cautioned against it for Giuliani and others he was considering giving one to, like his family members nytimes.com/2021/05/04/us/…
A person close to Giuliani said the Trump campaign should be careful to ensure money in the war chest was spent in connection with the election effort because it was solicited from the public for that purpose. nytimes.com/2021/05/04/us/…

Worth recalling from how reliant folks were at the time on the available data and not the possibility the data was simply inconclusive
A lot of folks who are now openly talking about how hard they were fighting/how messy it was we’re denying real-time reporting that it was messy. Important theyre talking now, but there are real-world impacts from saying the media is wrong when it isn’t.
A lot of stuff also gets elided now. There’s no one who fought harder against mask use than Trump, with more pronounced consequences. But when the public was told early on masks don’t make a difference and health experts later said ... 1/3

Trump’s orbit has become a diffuse group of satellites, with certain people overseeing specific projects, but nothing like the infrastructure he once had as president and there are some visible signs of it.
One key area where that’s so is fundraising, where there are a number of people involved in his political entities But no one person running his fundraising role.
Trump has assigned Lewandowski to handle his new super PAC and c4. He has two other linked entities. But there are other related projects. Among them, Meadows is having an event for the group he’s part of, CPI, around the time of the RNC winter meeting.

In the first year of a new term after a historic election, a Democratic president's aides, sick of the constant scandal from NY's governor, asks him to not run for re-election. That's right, it was Obama and David Paterson nytimes.com/2009/09/20/nyr…
Paterson resisted. But eventually he relented, opening up the way for Cuomo to run for governor and Schneiderman for AG. nytimes.com/2009/09/20/nyr…
When Trump was president, the situation was reversed in the sense that Republicans could not stand getting asked about his tweets/investigations/impeachments/ but most never said he should go. This may be sustainable with Cuomo if Biden never cares and if no new stories

Most presidents give their successors a grace period before they start re-emerging publicly. Trump is planning to deliver a cpac speech tomorrow that will criticize President Biden's 5 weeks in office and make clear he still has a grip on the GOP nytimes.com/2021/02/27/us/…
Aides say Trump is happy without his Twitter feed. Yet he's a politician with only a handful of moves, and one has been trying to inject himself into news of the day for decades. So he's commented on Limbaugh and Tiger Woods. nytimes.com/2021/02/27/us/…
"Mr. Trump’s false claims of voter fraud have already gotten a boost at the gathering; a panel titled 'How Judges & Media Refused to Look at the Evidence' was conducted on Friday." nytimes.com/2021/02/27/us/…

McConnell, who voted to acquit, is excoriating Trump for a "disgraceful dereliction of duty." "There's no question - none - that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day."
McConnell says the issue is not only Trump’s language, his endorsement of Giuliani’s “trial by combat,” but also the sense Trump created of “looming catastrophe.”
“This was an intensifying crescendo of conspiracy theories” by a president who seemed determined to overturn the will of the voters or “torch” institutions on the way out, McConnell says.

With @noahweiland @MarkMazzettiNYT and @anniekarni, Trump had "infiltrates" on his lungs and officials believed he would need to be put on a ventilator before he went to Walter Reed with covid last fall nytimes.com/2021/02/11/us/…
His blood oxygen levels fell significantly. And he was told by aides that he should go to the hospital while he could still walk out instead of being carried out by the USSS if he got sicker nytimes.com/2021/02/11/us/…
The effort to obtain Regeneron for Trump and the former first lady began on Oct. 1, with a call from deputy WH counsel Pat Philbin to FDA head Hahn. Philbin did not identify the patients, and Melania Trump turned down the treatment nytimes.com/2021/02/11/us/…
