"From Mayo Clinic website grudging admission of glaring truth: 'Hydroxychloroquine may be used to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) in certain hospitalized patients,'" Navarro wrote. "For all you murderers at [CNN] [John Berman] who spread lies about hydroxy, this one's for u," the ally of Trump said


Just observing. That quote does not say that the medication works. Only that the hospital does not forbid it's use.

Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson calls out John Kelly: ‘He knew Mr. Trump’s record’

 

Rep. Frederica Wilson has many things to say about former White House chief of staff John Kelly. None are very nice.

 

“Mr. Kelly is an idiot,” she said in an interview Wednesday.

 

The Florida Democratic congressmember was reacting to Kelly’s recent statement to CNN, where he asserted on the record that his old boss, former President Donald Trump, made disparaging comments about military families and veterans behind closed doors — and publicly.

 

“A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me’ … and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France,” Kelly told CNN in a statement.

 

But five years earlier, Kelly defended the former president and attacked Wilson. At the time, Kelly accused Wilson of being “selfish” for calling Trump’s comments to the widow of a fallen Marine insensitive. Trump had told the widow her husband “must have known what he signed up for,” a comment Wilson overheard because she was nearby with the grieving family.

 

Wilson took the comments very personally. The widow’s husband, Army Sgt. La David Johnson, was killed in an ambush attack in Niger in 2017 and was in a mentoring program Wilson started in Miami. She said she is still close with the family.

 

Trump’s handling of the Niger ambush was heavily scrutinized, as was his conduct toward the families of the slain soldiers.

 

“He knew Mr. Trump’s record,” Wilson said, in reference to Kelly. “For him to stand in the White House behind the podium and lie — he’s an idiot and he should be ashamed of himself.”

Mark Meadows sued by book publisher over false election claims

 

The publisher of Mark Meadows’s book is suing the former White House chief of staff, arguing in court filings Friday morning that he violated an agreement with All Seasons Press by including false statements about former President Trump’s claims surrounding the 2020 election.

 

“Meadows, the former White House Chief of Staff under President Donald J. Trump, promised and represented that ‘all statements contained in the Work are true and based on reasonable research for accuracy’ and that he ‘has not made any misrepresentations to the Publisher about the Work,’” the publishing company writes in its suit, filed in court in Sarasota County, Fla.

 

“Meadows breached those warranties causing ASP to suffer significant monetary and reputational damage when the media widely reported… that he warned President Trump against claiming that election fraud corrupted the electoral votes cast in the 2020 Presidential Election and that neither he nor former President Trump actually believed such claims.”

 

The suit comes after ABC News reported that Meadows received immunity in order to testify before a grand jury convened to hear evidence from special counsel Jack Smith, reportedly contradicting statements he made in his book. 

 

Meadows’s book, “The Chief’s Chief” was published in 2021 and spends ample time reflecting on the election.

 

“Meadows’ reported statements to the Special Prosecutor and/or his staff and his reported grand jury testimony squarely contradict the statements in his Book, one central theme of which is that President Trump was the true winner of the 2020 Presidential Election and that election was ‘stolen’ and ‘rigged’ with the help from ‘allies in the liberal media,’ who ignored ‘actual evidence of fraud,’” the company writes in the filing.

 

According to Meadows testimony as reported by ABC News, Trump was being “dishonest” with voters when he claimed victory on election night. ABC reported that Meadows admitted Trump lost the election when questioned by prosecutors.

 

He also told prosecutors he has yet to see any fraud in the 2020 election that would shift Trump’s loss to President Biden, ABC reported.

 

The suit notes that the opening sentence to one chapter in Meadows’s book was an all caps “I KNEW HE DIDN’T LOSE.”

‘There seems to be a serial delay’: Attorney discipline board upbraids pro-Trump lawyer Jeffrey Clark in order setting ethics hearing schedule over 2020 subversion efforts

 

Former U.S. Department of Justice attorney Jeffrey Clark will face disciplinary proceedings in January 2024 over his efforts to help Donald Trump overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, the board overseeing his professional misconduct case ruled Tuesday.

 

The D.C. Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel filed ethics charges against Clark in July 2022. Those proceedings had been paused for several months. Clark motioned to have the case against him removed to a federal court in October 2022. A federal judge denied that request in June in a lengthy opinion that found federal courts have no jurisdiction over attorney licensing disputes.

 

Clark is an environmental lawyer whom Trump nearly tapped to be acting attorney general in his waning scramble to retain the presidency. He previously worked as a former assistant attorney general at one sub-agency within the DOJ and an acting assistant attorney general within another. His bar charges are focused on an unsent draft letter falsely claiming the department “identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election in multiple states, including the state of Georgia.”

 

“This statement was false,” Disciplinary Counsel Hamilton P. Fox, III wrote in the specification of charges filed against Clark. “The Department was aware of no allegations of election fraud in Georgia that would have affected the results of the presidential election.”

 

The specification of charges said that Clark violated D.C. Rules of Professional Conduct 8.4(a) and (c) (“in that respondent attempted to engage in conduct involving dishonesty, by sending the proof of concept letter containing false statements”) and Rules 8.4(a) and (d) (“in that respondent attempted to engage in conduct that would seriously interfere with the administration of justice”). The so-called “proof of concept letter” is the draft Clark compiled that would have urged legislatures in states where Trump lost to “send an unauthorized slate of electors to Congress,” according to the ethics charges.

Trump adviser Peter Navarro faces prison after losing appeal in contempt of Congress case

 

U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta on Tuesday denied Donald Trump adviser Peter Navarro's request for a new trial over his contempt of Congress case.

 

Navarro was convicted in September of contempt when he refused to cooperate with the House Select Committee investigating the 2020 election overthrow attempt and Jan. 6 attack.

 

Navarro claimed that the jury in his case took a break outside of the courthouse during deliberations and they could have witnessed protesters — and signs they were holding up — and had their decisions swayed.

 

"Importantly, the court finds that the jurors would not have seen an additional sign contained in Defendant’s motion," writes Judge Mehta. "Likely referring to Defendant, that sign said, 'Bro, should’ve Plead the 5th Peter 4 Prison.' ... Defendant’s supplement identifies the source of this image as a video 'created to assist defense counsel' and posted to the site Rumble ('Rumble Video')."

 

The Rumble video, the judge explained, "does not depict the eight minute-period when the jurors were outside on break. It instead captures the moments before and after Defendant emerges from the courthouse after the verdict, long after the jurors had left John Marshall Park. The sign in question appears in no other video evidence."

'Materially changes this case': Trump gets involved in Jan. 6 accomplice’s disbarment

 

Former Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark is getting a last-minute assist from former President Donald Trump in his disbarment proceedings that may derail the entire process.

 

According to a Tuesday report in Politico, Trump lawyer Todd Blanche recently sent a letter to Clark's attorneys asking him to keep silent about any private conversations with the former president while he was in the White House. Blanche asserted that those conversations could be protected by "Trump’s executive privilege and other related privileges, including law enforcement privilege, attorney client privilege and deliberative process privilege." He added that the ex-president reserves the right to "intervene in any litigation involving these privileges."

 

Should Trump decide to assert executive privilege in Clark's disbarment proceedings, Politico legal correspondents Kyle Cheney and Josh Gerstein wrote that it could "force months of litigation on the matter."

Trump’s White House Pharmacy Handed Out Drugs Like Candy: Report

 

White House pharmacists reportedly distributed uppers and downers like candy to Trump administration officials during his time in office, according to a new report from the Department of Defense Inspector General

 

The 80-page document, which was released on Jan. 8, found that “all phases of the White House Medical Unit’s pharmacy operations had severe and systemic problems due to the unit’s reliance on ineffective internal controls to ensure compliance with pharmacy safety standards.” 

 

The investigation, which began in 2018 after the Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG) received complaints about improper medical practices within the White House Medical Unit, found a slew of compliance issues and improper safety standards. The medical unit’s operations fall under the jurisdiction of the White House Military Office. The report covers a period between 2009 and 2018, with a majority of its findings coalescing around 2017- 2019, during the height of the Trump administration. 

 

While Trump lived under the White House roof, the pharmacy reportedly kept messy, handwritten records, spent lavishly on brand-name medications, and failed to comply with a slew of federal law and Department of Defense regulations governing the handling, distribution, and disposal of prescription medication. 

 

Through in-person inspections and interviews with over 120 officials, the report concluded “that the White House Medical Unit provided a wide range of health care and pharmaceutical services to ineligible White House staff in violation of Federal law and regulation and DoD policy. Additionally, the White House Medical Unit dispensed prescription medications, including controlled substances, to ineligible White House staff.”
