Donald Trump's $1.776 billion IRS settlement fund — yes, 1776 — is designed to compensate January 6th insurrectionists, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and allies convicted during the Biden DOJ era. Former Trump attorney Ty Cobb says the entire scheme is illegal, the statute of limitations expired years ago, and the actual legal remedy caps out around $10,000. U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams rules May 27th on whether the lawsuit can even proceed.
The Harvey Weinstein retrial ended in a mistrial after jurors deadlocked nine to three. All three women on the jury voted not guilty, citing reasonable doubt and gaps in the victim's testimony. Weinstein remains in prison on other New York and California convictions, and reports indicate he is suffering from a severe form of gangrene.
Former Obama ambassador to Russia and Stanford professor Michael McFaul weighs in on Trump's China summit with President Xi, drawing direct comparisons to the 2018 Helsinki meeting with Putin. The word used: submissive.
Cuba is now completely out of oil, gas, and fuel after the Trump administration strong-armed Venezuela to cut off all energy shipments following the Maduro arrest operation. Hospitals are losing power, people are dying, and the DOJ is preparing to indict 94-year-old Raul Castro over the 1996 downing of two civilian aircraft. Trump campaigned on no new wars.
