Raskin demands Trump return $7.8M foreign governments paid his companies during presidency

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) went after former President Trump on Friday, demanding in a letter that he return about $7.8 million Trump’s companies received from foreign governments while he was in office.

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Democrats first made the allegation in a report last week, claiming Trump’s companies accepted money from foreign entities in 20 countries and alleging the payments violate the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.

Lordy, There's Tapes!

Roger Stone has contested Mediaite’s reporting this week regarding comments he made on tape floating the assassination of two members of Congress.

“I never spoke about assassinating anyone,” Stone wrote in an X post Thursday. “Fake Mediaite can’t produce the recording they claim to have.” In another post he wrote that Mediaite “has produced NO audio of me threatening 2 Dem Congressmen. Where is it? Post it  !”

Mediaite is now publishing an excerpt of the audio, which was recorded in person at Caffe Europa, a public restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, weeks before the 2020 election. 

So there's an audio tape of Roger Stone plotting to kill Rep Eric Swalwell and Rep Jerry Nadler in 2020 and now all of his right wing militia buddies are in prison for storming the Capitol on January 6th and trying to murder congress.

Alabama Democrats  Want Recently Retired Alabama Coach Saban To Run Against Retired Auburn Coach, Sen. Tuberville

If it were up to the Alabama Democratic Party, legendary football coach Nick Saban would be next in line to take on Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) for his seat in the U.S. Senate...Saban has stayed away from politics for the majority of his career. One of the few exceptions was his endorsement of Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), with whom he grew up in West Virginia. In January 2022, Saban also signed a letter to Manchin urging him to support the passage of the Freedom to Vote Act.

When Donald Trump is eventually gone, all the federal government would have to do is to charge $1-per-person for Americans to visit the Capitol rotunda and spit on his casket.
