Kellyanne Conway as a truthful witness? Don’t make me laugh: Kellyanne Conway, who managed the final months of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 campaign, met with prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office on Wednesday, the latest sign that the office is ramping up its criminal investigation into the former president. The prosecutors are scrutinizing Mr. Trump’s role in a hush money payment to a porn star, Stormy Daniels, who has said she had an affair with him. The $130,000 payment was made by Mr. Trump’s longtime fixer, Michael D. Cohen, in the closing days of the 2016 campaign, and Mr. Trump ultimately reimbursed him. Mr. Cohen has said that Ms. Conway played a small yet notable role in the payment: she was the person Mr. Cohen alerted after making the payment, he wrote in his 2020 memoir. “I called Trump to confirm that the transaction was completed, and the documentation all in place, but he didn’t take my call — obviously a very bad sign, in hindsight,” he wrote.

“Sheriff” DeSantis has wingnuts doing Disney oversight: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis solidified who will oversee Walt Disney World (DIS) after the politician signed a bill into law that allows him to take control of the company’s long-standing special tax district. “The corporate kingdom finally comes to an end,” DeSantis said at a press conference following the bill’s signing on Monday. “There’s a new sheriff in town, and accountability will be the order of the day.” DeSantis, who rebranded the district previously known as Reedy Creek to the “Central Florida Tourism Oversight District,” hand-selected the five board members who will now oversee Disney’s municipal services. Previous board members were selected by Reedy Creek, which was fully controlled by Disney. “The good question now is what will be the impact of the new board that he appointed,” Richard Foglesong, Disney historian and author of the book “Married to the Mouse: Walt Disney World and Orlando,” told Yahoo Finance Live in an interview on Tuesday.
... coz Mr 17%'s got nothing else. read now...Adam Serwer FTW : The way conservatives tell it, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is a hive of anti-Trump villainy, filled with agents looking for any excuse to hound the former president with investigative witch hunts. But the thing to understand about Donald Trump’s legal troubles is that they exist not because federal agents are out to get him, but despite the fact that the FBI is full of Trump supporters who would really like to leave him alone. This morning, The Washington Post reported that FBI investigators clashed with federal prosecutors over the decision to search the former president’s residence, where highly classified documents were found despite Trump’s insistence that he had none.
