Photos of the dinner reviewed by POLITICO show Odom posing for selfies with attendees. Several photos showed Lewandowski just above her right shoulder, with his tongue sticking out of his mouth. @politicoalex
Mr. Lewandowski tried to hold her hand, and she pushed his hand away. He touched her leg, she moved it away. He grabbed her napkin off her lap and tried to touch her leg again, and she pulled her dress over her leg, to move his hand away and cover her skin,” Odom’s attorney said
Lewandowski is alleged to have said “repeatedly that he is very powerful and can destroy anyone,” and that he “is close with President Trump and can get anyone elected or can take anyone out.”

THREAD: To those who consider cryptocurrency hard to understand & aren't paying attention. Time to rethink. Bitcoin may seem speculative--and yes, it is. But global financial system is being revolutionized. Nature of $$ is transforming. This is a BIG deal nytimes.com/2021/09/23/us/…
The US government increasingly recognizes this. As the global value of cryptocurrency booms, regulators in the United States are rushing to create the first major new rules governing this virtual currency--a push that will start with so-called stablecoins. nytimes.com/2021/09/17/bus…
A lobbying frenzy is underway in Washington as the cryptocurrency industry knows that a major set of new federal rules will soon be imposed to regulate so-called stablecoins--and industry players want to shape how the rules are written.
Does this include a hard but perhaps necessary debate over whether Grand Isle (at least as this barrier island previously existed) should be rebuilt? (It is a narrow thread of land that sticks out into Gulf of Mexico and has been repeatedly devastated and rebuilt)
This is a topic we at The NYT have written about extensively over the last five years dating back to March 2017 when Scott Pruitt rejected a ban on this pesticide. This is one of many illustrations of this old saying: Elections have consequences. nytimes.com/2017/03/29/us/…
Here is a deep look at the topic by @JohnBranchNYT and me from 2018. Trump's "distrust of expert studies and advice has put farm workers at risk in Kern County, Calif., where a pesticide the Obama administration moved to ban is still in widespread use." nytimes.com/interactive/20…
READING THIS CONSENT DECREE IN DETAIL re cryptocurrency exchange pioneer BitMEX and its perpetual swap. Pretty extraordinary what BitMEX this week agreed to, in addition to paying a $100 million civil monetary penalty. Yes, one Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000)
BitMEX from no later than November 2014 through at least October 1, 2020, operated an illegal derivatives trading platform that solicited business from US-based customers.
BitMEX solicited orders from U.S.-based customers for futures, options, and swaps through its website and on social media/U.S. customers were able to access the BitMEX platform from the U.S, EVEN THOUGH BitMEX never registering with the CFTC
