Don’t know about the Sr. but Jr. seems to be at least somewhat involved.
The first loan, a $2 million wire transfer, appears to have been approved by Donald Trump Jr., who sits on the company’s board, according to the report.
“Just want to keep you in the loop – no guaranty that these will get signed and funded, but we remain hopeful,” John Haley, a lawyer for Trump Media, wrote in a December 2021 email.
“Thanks john much appreciated,” Trump Jr. replied.
As I’ve often remarked, we will know when/if Trump is ever actually at serious risk of facing consequences for his actions because right-wing media will be referring to him as “longtime Democrat Donald Trump”. Ain’t happened yet, AFAICT.
I listen to FOX owned WABC in new york city. They haven’t completely turned on him yet, but it’s getting there. Could be the multi-billion dollar lawsuit.
Bit of a nitpick (or wishful thinking): Ms Agnifilo said, “or former president, I should say”. Nah, Ms Agnfilo. What you should have said is “so-called president”.
God, I’ll be so happy if the police allow the press to record and broadcast Tan the Conman getting handcuffs put on him, but not in a fun way.
Unfortunately for most of us, he will probably not be handcuffed or perp walked. Unless he makes the request himself in order to further his claims of martyrdom.
I do hope he doesn’t get much action from his call to protest. That might sting a bit.
A former president being arrested for such a tawdry crime as paying off a sex worker is beyond embarrassing for this country. I’ll be very curious as to how Republican lawmakers will react to this. Dead silence would be my guess, with a select few harpies shrieking around the edges of the boiling cauldron.
As for demonstrations, don’t underestimate the number of loyal asshats that are out there just waiting for a call like this, and most of them carry weapons.
