Feds Have Enough To Charge Trump’s Former National Security Adviser And His Son; Trump’s Family May Be Next
Michael T. Flynn and his son are said to be the next to be ar- rested. Jared Kushner, Pres. Trump’s son-in-law may also face charges.
Pres. Trump Says Mass Shooting At Texas Church Is Not A ‘Gun Issue’
Federal investigators have gathered enough evidence to bring charges in their investi- gation of President Donald Trump's former national se- curity adviser and his son as part of the probe into Russia's intervention in the 2016 elec- tion, according to multiple sources familiar with the in- vestigation.
Michael T. Flynn, who was fired after just 24 days on the job, was one of the first Trump associates to come under scrutiny in the federal probe now led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into possible collusion be- tween Moscow and the Trump campaign.
Trump’s Family Is Next According to Howard Dean, former governor of
Vermont and once head of the Democratic Party, said he be- lieves special counsel Robert Mueller is moving in on President Donald Trump’s family.
“I expect there’s a good like- lihood Jared Kushner will be indicted for money laun- dering,” Dean predicted on MSNBC on Sunday.
Kushner is a senior White House adviser and Trump’s son-in-law, married to the president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump. She also serves as a White House adviser.
Dean also believes Flynn and his son could end up co- operating with Mueller in ex- change for leniency.
“The next step is going to be the Trump family itself,” he said.
According to reports, a week before he committed the worst massacre at a place of worship in American history, Kelley posted a photo of a semiautomatic rifle to Face- book with the caption: “She’s a bad b*&ch.”
It’s part of a disturbing pic- ture emerging of the 26-year- old, who was discharged under dishonorable circumstances from the Air Force in 2014, ac- cording to Defense Depart- ment records.
Kelley entered the church at approximately 11:30 a.m. Sunday and opened fire, wit- nesses reported.
Officials said he wore a bal- listic vest and was dressed in all black. A law-enforcement source close to the investiga- tion said the rifle Kelley used is similar to the one pictured but could not confirm it is the same rifle.
It is unclear if Kelley was killed or died from a self-in- flicted gunshot wound.
Another week, another tragedy and another different response from President Trump. On Sunday in Texas, a gunman opened fire inside a church, killing 26 and wound- ing at least 19 more — making it the largest mass shooting in state history.
Commenting on the vio- lence while overseas in Japan, President Trump said it was “not a gun issue” and “a little soon” to discuss policy changes when asked if gun control was needed after the shooting.
“I think that mental health is your problem here,” he said. “This was based on prelimi- nary reports this was a very de- ranged individual — lots of problems over a long period of time. This is not a gun issue, it is a little soon to get into. For- tunately somebody else had a gun that shot in the opposite direction. Otherwise, it would have been much worse.”
Devin Patrick Kelley
has been identified as the gun- man who killed at least 26 peo- ple at First Baptist Church Sunday morning in Texas.
Pres. Trump comments about worst mass shooting in Texas history, calling it a mental health issue, not a gun issue. Devin P. Kelley was the gunman.
Navy Corruption Probe Expands To 60 Admirals
Woman Fired Because She ‘Flips Off’ Pres. Trump’s Motorcade
Juli Briskman was fired after a photographer traveling with Trump’s motorcade posted the photo of her flipping him off.
The Navy’s investigation into the so-called “Fat Leonard” corruption scandal has ex- panded to include 60 admirals, The Washington Post re- ported.
In all, the conduct of 440 ac- tive duty and retired personnel is now under review.
The “Fat Leonard” scandal, the worst corruption scandal in Navy history, centers around Malaysian contractor Leonard Glenn Francis, who bribed scores of officers with extravagant parties, lux- ury gifts, prostitutes and more in exchange for classified in- formation to win lucrative con- tracts for his Glenn Defense Marine Asia company.
Most of the admirals are sus- pected of attending extrava- gant feasts at Asia’s best restaurants paid for by Fran- cis, a Singapore-based mar- itime tycoon who made an illicit fortune supplying Navy vessels in ports from Vladivos- tok, Russia to Brisbane, Aus-
Malaysian contractor, Leonard Glenn Francis is photographed with top naval officers. Rear Adm. Robert Gilbeau (retired) has pleaded guilty. He was a former special assistant to the chief of the Navy Supply Corps.
The photo of President Donald Trump’s motorcade winding down a wooded road last week as a woman on a bi- cycle pedaled by ― giving the middle finger to Trump has gone viral.
The picture snapped by a White House photographer traveling with the president as he left his golf course in Ster- ling, Va., became the joke of talk show hosts and people on social media began hailing the unidentified woman as a “she- ro,” using the hashtag #Her2020.
Juli Briskman’s em- ployer, a government contrac-
tor Akima LLC, wasn’t so happy about the photo. They fired her over it.
Briskman, a 50-year-old mother of two, said she was stunned that someone had taken a picture of her giving Trump the middle finger.
As the photo circulated online, Briskman decided to tell Akima’s HR department what was happening when she went to work on Monday. By Tuesday, her bosses called her into a meeting and said she had violated the company’s social media policy by using the photo as her profile picture on Twitter and Facebook.
tralia. Francis also was renowned for hosting alcohol- soaked, after-dinner parties, which often featured imported prostitutes and sometimes lasted for days, according to federal court records.
The Justice Department has
already filed criminal charges against 28 people, including two admirals. Francis has pleaded guilty to bribing Navy officials and defrauding the government of more than $35 million, and is awaiting sen- tencing.
President Trump Tells Japanese To Build More Cars In U. S.
President Trump called on Japan to build more cars in the U.S. during his stop in the country as part of his first official tour of Asia as presi- dent.
"Try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over,” Trump
said at an event with Japan- ese business executives, ac- cording to a pool report.
“That's not rude?” he added.
Three out of every four Japanese brand cars sold in North America were manu- factured on the continent, ac-
cording to Columbus Busi- ness First.
And Mazda and Toyota announced in August that they were investing $1.6 bil- lion to start a new manufac- turing plant in the U. S. that will create about 4,00 new jobs.
