me for @Forbes

Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric are co-defendants with their father and the Trump Org in the NY AG's fraud lawsuit.

2/

Don Jr. and Eric Trump quickly lawyered up. A month later, Ivanka hired the same attorneys.

But she also hired two other attorneys independently of her brothers.

Last month, a sign of a split in the siblings’ defense emerged.

An attorney repr'ing just Ivanka asked the judge to delay the trial. The letter claimed, "The complaint affirmatively alleges that other individuals were responsible for those tasks.”

The break became clearer last week.

On Tues, the attorneys rep'ing just Ivanka withdrew.

Three days later, a new lawyer told the court he was taking over as Ivanka’s counsel and the attorneys she shared with her brothers were no longer doing so.

Ivanka's new, and apparently only attorney is Bennet Moskowitz.

He previously represented the estate of Jeffrey Epstein.

Just in--

Today NY AG Letitia James filed a motion for a preliminary injunction "seeking several measures to stop Mr. Trump and the Trump Organization’s ongoing fraudulent scheme and ensure funds are available to satisfy any disgorgement award..."

1/

"Attorney General James is also seeking the court’s permission to serve Mr. Trump and Eric Trump electronically, as both defendants and their counsels have refused to accept service of the complaints for almost a month. "

2/
"Beyond the continuation of that fraud, the Trump Organization appears to be taking steps to restructure its business to evade the reaches of OAG’s lawsuit."

John Ratcliffe is terminating his congressional campaign.

But not before it paid his wife $43,500.

And paid $11,000 to the firm that designed his personal website.

And repaid him $225,00 for a loan.

@Forbes Ratcliffe's wife, Michele, is an attorney specializing in real estate and cyber crimes.

She doesn't appear to have any other campaign-finance experience.

The campaign paid her $43,500 to manage its sleepy books.

That's 36% of its total spending.

2/

@Forbes After leaving office, Ratcliffe’s campaign shelled out $11,000 for “website design."

I found no evidence the firm did any work for his campaign.

But that firm did design his personal site.

That payment that could violate campaign-finance rules.

Here are just some of the 30 people @Forbes spotted there

1/

@Forbes Eduardo Bolsonaro is a member of Brazil's national Congress and the son of that country's president.

He posted what he called a “recent photo” from Mar-a-Lago in October 2021. (H/T @the_peetape).

@Forbes Nigel Farage (aka Mr. Brexit) played a big role in getting the UK out of the EU.

He is a one-time member of the European Parliament.

Farage shared a photo from Trump's office in April.

The carpet makes its debut in photos of Trump's office in October 2021.

In photos from May 2021 and before, it was cream colored.

Not sure if they got a deal on the carpet, but the same pattern appears to be in use at his Bedminster golf course.

Yesterday's article, BTW, was at least the third time I've had the pleasure of analyzing a Trump property's carpet.

In April 2018, the border of the carpet helped ID that Maine Gov. Paul LePage was at the Trump Hotel DC.
