Search Results: she is lying

The PDB is the "President's Daily Briefing" and is given to presidential candidates as a pragmatic courtesy in order that they can be prepared when and if they assume the office.

Recall that Trump is still facing multiple felony accounts for secretly taking, denying, lying, obfuscating and not securing top secret documents. Despite this potential security risk, Biden has continued to extend this courtesy to Trump. Previously, it had been reported that he refused to read it and Jared kushner, his son-in-law, read it religiously and in insecure locations.

Regarding the actual law and felonies alleged to being committed, essentially, the Logan Act states that private citizens cannot conduct their own diplomacy. The FARA Act (Foreign Agents Registration Act) requires “foreign agents” to register with the Attorney General. It applies broadly to anyone who acts on behalf of a “foreign principal” to influence U. S. policy or public opinion.

However, Bob Woodwards new book reports:

"Former U. S. President Donald Trump secretly spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin as many as seven times after he left office, The New York Times (NYT) reported.

According to Woodward's latest book "War," the two might have spoken a half-dozen other times after Trump left the White House in 2020, the unnamed aide claimed.

Putin and Trump allegedly spoke even as Trump was reportedly pressuring Republicans to block the $60 billion aid package for Kyiv.

The book also reports for the first time that Trump, while still in office early during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, secretly sent Mr. Putin what were then rare Abbott Point of Care test machines for the Russian’s personal use."

What do you think? Should he lose his courtesy access to the POTUS Daily Briefing until this is resolved? Should these allegations be investigated by Congress or special counsel?

Economist Paul Krugman noted: “We’ve all become desensitized, but it’s amazing how at this point the Trump campaign rests entirely on denouncing things that aren’t happening—[an] imaginary bad economy, imaginary runaway crime and now an imaginary failure of Biden and Harris to respond to natural disaster.”

FEMA spokesperson Jaclyn Rothenberg responded to a post claiming that FEMA was refusing to help conservative Americans, saying: “This is a lie. We help all people regardless of background as fast as possible before, during and after disasters. That is our mission and that is our focus.”

In contrast, numerous posters today noted that Trump repeatedly withheld federal aid from Democratic governors—including that of North Carolina—after disasters in their states. After the Trump campaign organized a fundraiser for victims of the hurricane, David Frum of The Atlantic reminded readers that in 2019, Trump was fined $2 million and three of his children were ordered to take classes as a penalty for taking for their own use funds from charities they ran.

When a reporter asked President Biden and Democratic North Carolina governor Roy Cooper to respond to Trump’s accusation that they are ignoring the disaster, Biden responded: “He's lying. And the governor told him he was lying…. I've spoken to the governor, spent time with him…. I don't know why he does this. And the reason I get so angry about it, I don't care about what he says about me, but I care what he communicates to the people that are in need. He implies that we're not doing everything possible. We are…. I assume you heard the Republican Governor of Georgia talk about that he was on the phone with me more than once. So that's simply not true. And it's irresponsible.”
