It’s been 7 hours since Trump announced and apparently signed an Executive Order to peg what Medicare pays for drugs to the International Price Index.

The other 3 EOs he signed were released hours ago, but No. 4, the only one with teeth, is mysteriously absent. 1/2 Not only has the White House not released it, they’ve already changed the story about what happens next. Trump said it would be up to @PhRMA to come up w a plan to lower prices. Tonight WH shifts accountability to Congress to “finally decides to act after decades of failure.” 2/2

NEW: Secret tape has @BankofAmerica's Fabrizio Gallo telling top execs that WFH isn't going to fly. "You can't say you can't trust the firm [to be free of #COVID19] and get the money from the firm, for a long time if you are in a critical function." 1/x cnbc.com/2020/04/08/ban… .@BankofAmerica's Gallo goes on: "Now if people decide they don’t want to be in a critical function we can have that conversation too. Every single person in this office right now has a family. Every single person in this office right now has children..."

New: Trump wants states to classify each county by its #coronavirus risk level.

But the very notion that risk in a contagion can vary from one county to another contradicts the basic health advice Trump’s own experts are issuing.

cnbc.com/2020/03/26/cor… Trump’s reliance on surveillance testing ignores the fact that the U.S. currently does not have a surveillance testing system in place. 2/x

Just In from @CDCgov:

“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19 in California in a person who reportedly did not have relevant travel history or exposure to another known patient with COVID-19.” @CDCgov More: "At this time, the patient’s exposure is unknown. It’s possible this could be an instance of community spread of COVID-19, which would be the first time this has happened in the United States."

Just now, Rep. Doug Collins was asked about Giuliani being in Ukraine, and curtly responded, "I don't have any comment about Rudy Giuliani."

Meanwhile, Trump says RG will present his "findings" from Ukraine to Congress. 1/ On Saturday, Trump appeared to know where Rudy was and why>>

"I just know he came back from someplace, and he's going to make a report, I think to the attorney general and to Congress. He says he has a lot of good information. I have not spoken to him about that information." 2/

Wow - Trump just denied sending Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine in his behalf. He tells Bill O’Reilly that to find out what Giuliani was doing in Ukraine, “you’d have to ask Rudy.” Notes Giuliani has a lot clients.

Pretty sure I hear a bus, folks. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… “No, I didn’t direct him, but he is a warrior, he is a warrior,” Trump says of Giuliani.

As for what Rudy was doing in Ukraine, “you have to ask that to Rudy.”

“Rudy has other clients, other than me. He’s done a lot of work in Ukraine over the years,” Trump adds.

Inside the @FBI file on Trump Org: An odd 1997 news clip abt a fundraiser Trump hosted for then-District Atty @JudgeJeanine at a Trump property. Story says Trump may have violated campaign finance laws by charging Pirro below market for the space. Pg 108: vault.fbi.gov/trump-organiza… Pirro's husband was Trump's lawyer at the time, and Pirro's campaign only had to pay $250 to rent the huge mansion, Seven Springs. Story suggests that the difference between market rate and what Pirro was charged amount to an unreported campaign contribution from Trump to Pirro.

Prosecutor just reminded ABJ that Manafort made "false statements to the FBI and false statements to the grand jury repeatedly."

This was one of the strangest things about the $125,000 payment I dug into: Each of Manafort's 3 lies about the $$ was totally new. 1/ They weren't a story that kept changing, they were totally unrelated stories, and he seemed unaware that each new one made his last statement completely false, not just a little false. 2/

NEW: My investigation into the $125,000 paid to Manafort's lawyers that Manafort allegedly lied about. Until now, source of $$ had been identified only as Firm A.

We report Firm A is Va. based Multi Media Services Corp, owned by GOP pollster Tony Fabrizio cnbc.com/2019/03/10/pau… Fabrizio's ad buying firm, MMSC, was paid $19 million plus by the top Trump Super PAC, Rebuilding America Now. Look at this unredacted account name on the transfer record of the $125,000 payment. "MMSC Secondary - 7107 - Checking." That MMSC would be Multi Media Services Corp.

NEW: Trump's longtime bodyguard, Keith Schiller, has received $225,000 so far from the RNC, through his one-man consulting firm. cnbc.com/2019/02/08/fir… Last year, the RNC told CNBC that Schiller had been hired to consult on a site for the 2020 GOP convention. That process ended in July, but Schiller is still making $15,000 from the RNC.

Whoa. Michael Avenatti's client, Julie Swetnik, alleges in a sworn statement that she saw Kavanaugh waiting in a line outside a bedroom for his turn to gang rape a young women, and that Swetnik was drugged and gang raped at a party Kavanaugh attended.

More: "I also witnessed efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be “gang raped” in a side room or bedroom by a “train” of numerous boys."

“This president ... wants everything out, so the American people can make up their own minds,” says WH CoS John Kelly. @_DanMangan and I thought of 9 things we’d like out there, so “the American people can make up their own minds.” 1/10 cnbc.com/2018/02/01/tru… 1. Trump’s income tax returns. Duh. Because the audit excuse just doesn’t cut it.
