4-5 minutes Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mehmet Oz greets supporters after the primary race resulted in an automatic re-count due to close results on May 17, 2022 in Newtown, Pennsylvania.Stephanie Keith/Getty Images Dr. Mehmet Oz had a "medical advisory board" to support claims he made on "The Dr. Oz Show." The 43-member board included people with no medical training who promoted extreme and debunked treatments. Claims they supported included drinking onion juice for the flu and subscription meal plans for curing cancer. Republican candidate for US Senate representing Pennsylvania and former talk show host Mehmet Oz relied on a medical advisory board to support claims he made on "The Dr. Oz Show." Among practicing oncologists and certified psychologists, the board included people who had no formal medical training and promoted debunked treatments. Dr. Ben Abella, an emergency physician in Philadelphia, told Insider the 43-member board projected an "aura of legitimacy" on Oz and his show, which ran for 13 seasons and was canceled last December after Oz decided to run for office. Abella helped organize an event called "Real Doctors Against Oz" in support of Oz's political opponent, Democratic candidate for US Senate John Fetterman. Abella said Oz used the show and his advisory board in ways that preyed upon viewers' desire to be healthy and instead supplied them with "misleading" home remedies and treatments. Treatments that at best, he said, were unhelpful and, at worst, dangerous. Among the board members listed for the show was a self-described "medicine hunter" who promotes the "ritual use of hallucinogens" to achieve wellness and an acupuncturist who sells herbal remedies to fight COVID-19 and an energy therapy called "Infinichi" to treat ailments from upset stomach to fibromyalgia. "The Medical Advisory Board sounds very authentic and rigorous, but not so many people are going to take the time to peel back the layers of the onion and say, 'Well, where are these people?'" Abella told Insider. "'What are their credentials? What did they do?' And perhaps even peel back further and say, 'What are their financial conflicts with maybe some of these products?'" Some of the alternative treatments promoted by the advisory board, like acupuncture or petroleum jelly in the nostrils, may not necessarily directly cause harm, Abella told Insider. Others, he said rely on flimsy or non-peer-reviewed science that may distract or prevent a patient from seeking legitimate medical treatment because they're doing something they believe is effective. Oz is running for a Senate seat representing Pennsylvania against Democratic candidate John Fetterman. The Oz campaign has faced controversies over whether he actually lives in the state and Asplundh Tree Experts' (his wife's family business, in which Oz is a shareholder) massive fine for hiring undocumented workers despite his anti-immigration stance. In April, a group of ten physicians at Columbia University, where Oz was a lecturer on campus, wrote a letter to university officials indicating they were "dismayed" that the celebrity physician was on the school's faculty. CNN reported they accused Oz of "manifesting an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain" and that he demonstrates in his show "either outrageous conflicts of interest or flawed judgments about what constitutes appropriate medical treatments, or both." Columbia University Medical Center cut ties with the Senate candidate in May. "Every revelation that emerges about Mehmet Oz shows voters who he really is: a self-serving fraud who got rich as a TV scam artist," David Bergstein, a democratic senatorial campaign committee spokesman, told Insider. "He's shown over and over again he doesn't care about anyone but himself, and that's exactly why Pennsylvanians will reject him in November." The Oz campaign did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. will the republicans ever get back to normal?

247sports.com Auburn locks in full nonconference schedule Nathan King 2 minutes Why the Big Ten is second only to NFL in media rights Auburn's full nonconference schedule is now set in stone. After months of one-off announcements for the Tigers' 2022-23 slate, the program released the full list of opponents and dates Friday afternoon. Auburn won't play a true road game in nonconference competition until mid-December, when it embarks on a Pac-12 road trip to play at USC and Washington. The Tigers play six of their first eight games of the season inside Neville Arena, including four straight home games to start the year. Bruce Pearl's program is facing several familiar teams in 2022-23, including USF (last faced off played in Tampa last season), Winthrop (2017), Saint Louis (2021), Colgate (2019), Memphis (2020) and Georgia State (2016). Four teams on Auburn's schedule — Texas Southern, Colgate, Memphis and USC — made the NCAA tournament last season. Auburn's full nonconference schedule is as follows: • Nov. 2 vs. UAH (exhibition) • Nov. 7 vs. George Mason • Nov. 11 vs. USF • Nov. 15 vs. Winthrop • Nov. 18 vs. Texas Southern • Nov. 22 vs. Bradley (Cancun, Mexico) • Nov. 23 vs. Liberty/Northwestern (Cancun, Mexico) • Nov. 27 vs. Saint Louis • Dec. 2 vs. Colgate • Dec. 10 vs. Memphis (Atlanta) • Dec. 14 vs. Georgia State • Dec. 18 at USC 17COMMENTS • Dec. 21 at Washington • Jan. 28 at West Virginia (Big 12/SEC Challenge) ">247Sports

Auburn football 2022 statistical predictions: Defense Lindsay Crosby 5-7 minutes The 2022 Auburn Tigers roster has a lot of familiar faces - virtually the entire offensive line and TE room is back, as well as the top two running backs in Tank Bigsby and Jarquez Hunter. Top receivers Kobe Hudson (UCF) and Demetris Robertson (out of eligibility) have departed, but several returners like Shedrick Jackson, Ja'Varrius Johnson, and Malcolm Johnson Jr figure to be integral parts of this year's offense. On defense, many top names have moved on, with linebackers Zakoby McClain and Chandler Wooten, safety Smoke Monday, and 2nd round pick Roger McCreary all having departed The Plains. Auburn's defense has brought in potential impact transfers and have gotten another year of maturation from backups, and appear to be in a good position to field a Top 5 SEC defense this season. Wednesday, we looked at the offense. Today, let's look at the returners on the defensive side of the ball and see who can be expected to exceed last year's production. Wesley Hitt/Getty Images EDGE Derick Hall: 2021 = 52 tackles, 12.5 TFL, 9 sacks, 2 FF Prediction: OVER (sacks) Hall played every game last season, but saved his best performances for the end of the season with five sacks in the final three regular season games, including three of Bryce Young in the Iron Bowl. He comes back for (presumably) his final year before heading to the NFL in the best shape of his life and with a full-time pass-rushing partner in Eku Leota to keep opposing blocking schemes from solely focusing on him. (Someone in the Locked on Auburn discord predicts he'll surpass Nick Fairley's single-season program record of 12, set in 2010) Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics EDGE Eku Leota: 2021 = 23 tackles, 10 TFL, 7 sacks, 1 FF Prediction: OVER (sacks) The transfer from Northwestern acclimated quickly to the SEC, notching sacks against conference opponents LSU, Georgia, Arkansas, Miss St., and South Carolina. Working behind TD Moultry and Hall, he provided quality depth and more than held his own. Now playing in a full-time role and having physically developed into an absolute unit, Leota's a great candidate to break out with double digits sacks and an NFL Draft selection. © Jake Crandall via Imagn Content Services, LLC DE Colby Wooden: 2021 = 61 tackles, 8.5 TFL, 5 sacks Prediction: OVER (sacks) Speaking to the media during fall camp, Wooden discussed the depth on the defensive line and how he felt it was going to allow the team to exceed expectations in 2022. The addition of Jayson Jones at NT - a stronger, quicker replacement for departed NT Tony Fair - should command more attention from interior offensive linemen and allow Wooden more one-on-one matchups on the exterior. Don't be surprised if the 6'5, 278 junior takes a leap and is close to double digit sacks by the end of the season. Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics DL Marcus Harris: 2021 = 27 tackles, 6 TFL, 2 sacks Prediction: OVER (TFL) Harris, the Kansas transfer who returned to his home state, played in all 13 games last year as an interior depth option, picking up one start vs Akron. His Iron Bowl performance (4 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 sack) showed that's he capable of hanging with the highest quality opponents, and look for him to receive more opportunities as a returning veteran with experience in this defensive scheme. Gary Cosby Jr.-USA TODAY Sports DB Donovan Kaufman: 2021 = 33 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 sack, 1 INT, 2 pass breakups, 3 FF Prediction: OVER (tackles, TFL) Kaufman, the 5'10 transfer from Vanderbilt, came in and made an immediate impact for the Tigers, slotting into Derek Mason's defense right away thanks to his past experience with the scheme. Despite Mason's departure, Kaufman remained at Auburn and appears poised to start the season as the primary nickelback, where his versatility will be used to both attack the run as well as defend in space. Look for big things from the upperclassman, now that he's settled into the nickel role and can play more instinctively at the snap. © John Reed-USA TODAY Sports DB Zion Puckett: 2021 = 48 tackles, 0.5 TFL Prediction: OVER (tackles) The junior safety from Griffin, GA was used all over the field last year, logging time at both safety and linebacker in certain sub packages, collecting one start against Penn State. He showed a penchant for coming up in big matchups, accumulating 32 combined tackles and 0.5 TFL in a four-game stretch against LSU, Georgia, Arkansas, and Ole Miss. Now solidified as one of the starters on the back end, expect higher production from the 6'0, 227 Puckett. © Mickey Welsh / Advertiser / USA TODAY NETWORK DB Nehemiah Pritchett: 2021 = 27 tackles, 1 INT, 5 PBU Prediction: UNDER (tackles, PBU) Seen as a Top 5 cornerback prospect in the upcoming NFL Draft, Pritchett projects to continue the legacy of recent NFL draftees Carlton Davis, Jamel Dean, Noah Igbinoghene, and Roger McCreary by holding down the #1 CB job and locking down his side of the field. Long and athletic, the 6'1 Pritchett excels in both man and zone coverage and smart teams will stay away from his side of the field in search of more favorable matchups elsewhere.

Head coach Bryan Harsin intends to use every bit of the final two weeks of preseason practice to evaluate the candidates for the open quarterback slot. T.J. Finley, Zach Calzada, and Robby Ashford have all impressed Harsin in their own personal ways, but Harsin needs one of those players to take control of the offense, and show him why they are the best fit to take on the role of starting quarterback. Buy Tigers Tickets While Harsin is still considering all options, those in the media are expressing their choices for starting quarterback, and why they are the best option. One of those is former Tiger and current SEC Network analyst Cole Cubelic. Cubelic was a guest on a recent episode of On3’s podcast “The Hard Count” with JD PicKell. While on the show, the topic of Auburn’s ongoing quarterback saga was discussed, and Cubelic was asked to share his point of view on the situation. His pick for opening day starter is a safe one, but has solid logic behind it. “I think it’s T.J. Finley’s job to lose right now, mainly because he finished the season as the starter last year, and Calzada had shoulder surgery, so he didn’t get a ton of reps with the ones in spring ball,” Cubelic said, “As a matter of fact, anything that was live – which with a quarterback still aren’t live, but perceived to be live – and even in a lot of the seven-on-seven stuff, T.J. got a lot of the number one reps.” While Cubelic believes that Finley has the edge to start the season-opening game against Mercer on September 3, he says that another candidate could step up later in the season, and ultimately take the job. “I still think that (Zach) Calzada is more capable,” Cubelic said. “I think eventually he wins the job, but as of right now, I still think Zach’s got to go take it from T.J. if he’s going to be the starter game one and be the starter for the entire season.” The next chance for an Auburn quarterback to create separation is Friday when the team holds its second scrimmage of fall camp.

New faces on offense Auburn fans need to know Updated: Aug. 18, 2022, 5:44 p.m.| Published: Aug. 18, 2022, 5:19 p.m. NEW! 377 shares By Nubyjas Wilborn | nwilborn@al.com Auburn has 13 practices out of an allotted 25 during fall camp remaining before opening the season on September 3rd against Mercer. There are 16 days left before Bryan Harsin begins his second season as the Auburn football coach. Finding new contributors to replace production from players transferring and graduating will be at a premium for Harsin and offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau. Auburn starts with games against the Bears and San Jose State before playing a rematch against Penn State in Game three. Five home games before traveling to play rival and defending national champion Georgia won’t leave a lot of margin for error. Suppose a player with less experience gets on the field. In that case, it’ll be imperative that he can adjust quickly to playing in a conference that has nine of the last 11 National Champions—playing as a freshman fresh from high school or after a red-shirt season gets more problematic when your schedule has five teams ranked in the AP Top 25 poll. Let’s look at some guys who’ve quickly made strong impressions on the Plains. Damari Alston Running back coach and former Tiger star Cadillac Williams has one of the deepest position groups on the team this season. Tank Bigsby is an elite talent. Jarquez Hunter was a solid player last season with the potential to evolve further as a runningback. Alston will have a tough time breaking into the starting lineup. However, the 5′9 209 pounder out of Atlanta is pushing strongly to get on the field. Passing Bigsby and Hunter is quite a challenge, but Alston won’t quit trying. “I truly think he’s a young man that can come in and contribute. I think he’s wise beyond his years. I think just mentally; he’s a mentally tough person,” Williams said. “Not only physically, but, as I said, wise beyond his years. A guy who runs behind his pads, a one-cut runner, and has excellent vision. Just have that demeanor with him when you watch the film; he’s just a natural runner between the tackles. Just gets yards and breaks tackles.” Robby Ashford Ashford is in the mix for the starting quarterback role. He’s one of the fastest players on the team. He also has a strong arm with accuracy. Even if Ashford doesn’t win the starting role, Harsin and Kiesau may find ways to get him in games. “Robby’s fun; he’s fun to play against. As you can see, he’s got wheels, so we’ve got to contain him more. It was fun playing against him -- especially when he gets out of the pocket,” Auburn defender Colby Wooden said. “He’s extremely dangerous with his feet or with his arm. We’ve got to learn to keep him contained. I’m excited to see what he does this fall.” Camden Brown Auburn needs playmakers at receiver. Brown, at 6′2 220, might be someone who can make an impact instantly. He’s already made several impressive catches during fall camp. His size and skill are already at the level expected of a wide receiver in the Southeastern Conference. “He’ll be really good. You obviously look at him — he’s long, he’s strong, he’s athletic. More importantly, he’s a good kid,’ Tight end Luke Deal said. “I’ve gotten to know him pretty well, and he’s a great guy. And I mean, he makes some crazy catches. He’s an athletic player. Athletic wide receiver. Big body.” Zach Calzada Calzada transferred from Texas A&M. He’s in the quarterback competition with Ashford and T.J. Finley. The battle will likely continue for the next couple of weeks. Calzada has shown toughness and grit with a strong throwing arm. He’s got experience as a player winning big games. Can he surpass Finley and Ashford? We’ll find out soon enough. “Zach Calzada brings leadership and everything a quarterback is supposed to bring,” Bigsby said. You want to play with somebody that got that dog in him. And he didn’t back down, he didn’t give up, he didn’t quit. I’d rather play with somebody that doesn’t want to quit all the time.” Tar’Varish Dawson Dawson didn’t make his debut in a game until the Birmingham Bowl. A combination of factors, including Dawson entering COVID protocols before last season’s first game and depth at the position, forced Dawson to red-shirt after the 2021 season. He’s made lots of plays in camp, and there’s a chance he’ll work into the starting lineup. Harsin noted his growth during SEC media days. “Tar’Varish Dawson’s a completely different player than he was last year, and he would say that too,” Harsin said. He was a little just kind of goofing around and enjoying being out there, and now he’s out there to try to make plays, and he can roll.” Koy Moore Auburn’s search for deep threats could create a mutually beneficial relationship between Moore and the starting quarterback. Moore totaled 27 catches for 248 yards at LSU during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. The 6′1 wide receiver is quick and has a wide catch radius. “I see him out there catching — 9 o’clock in the facility at night, catching balls by himself, doing drills, running routes with Zach Calzada,” Bigsby said. “Just seeing him out there — if you guys can be around someone and they’re working, if you’re a competitor and you see a media guy out there get more attention, getting more stories and stuff, what are you gonna say? You’re gonna be like, ‘Oh, I need to be on my game.’ That’s how it is on the team right now. When one guy sees someone working, they’re fixing to go work. That’s where I feel like we’ve worked so hard to get to this point.” Nubyjas Wilborn covers Auburn for Alabama Media Group.

What OC Eric Kiesau, DC Jeff Schmedding said about Auburn’s 2nd scrimmage Updated: Aug. 19, 2022, 5:53 p.m.| Published: Aug. 19, 2022, 4:48 p.m. Auburn running back Sean Jackson (44) is wrapped up by defensive backs Sammy Cohen (12) and D.J. James (10) during the team's first scrimmage of fall camp Saturday, August 13, 2022 in Auburn, Ala. (Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics)Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics NEW! By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com Auburn held its second scrimmage of the preseason Friday afternoon at Jordan-Hare Stadium, less than a week removed from the team’s first scrimmage last Saturday. It was an important practice for Auburn, not just as it looks to narrow in on a starting quarterback among T.J. Finley, Zach Calzada and Robby Ashford, but as Bryan Harsin and his staff begin to lock in a two-deep depth chart with the season opener against Mercer almost two weeks away. Read more Auburn football: “A little bit desperate means a lot dangerous”: National college football reporters talk expectations for Auburn this season Jarquez Hunter prepared for increased role at running back in Year 2 On the move again, Jeremiah Wright “can really cause damage” on offensive line After Friday’s scrimmage, Auburn offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau and defensive coordinator Jeff Schmeddingmet with the media to discuss what transpired at Jordan-Hare Stadium and the Tigers’ overall progress through the first two weeks of preseason practices. Here’s a quick recap of their remarks. JEFF SCHMEDDING, defensive coordinator -- The emphasis for the defense was overall clean operation, from the sideline through the play-call and execution of plays. -- On DT Jayson Jones: “When you speak with Jayson and you watch him play, he really, really cares about what he’s doing.” Believes “the best is yet to come” for the Oregon transfer. -- On LB Eugene Asante: “He brings good energy. He’s got really good speed.” He’s picking things up well after missing time in the spring. -- On Donovan Kaufman: Versatility is the buzzword. Also called him a “film junky” who can play multiple positions. -- On the safety competition: “You saw it right off the bat, there’s a different vibe with how they’re attacking each rep.” -- On Cayden Bridges at safety: “He’s done a great job for us, there’s no doubt.” -- Wants to watch film, but he believes he’s going to “see some movement in the two-deep” after today. “We’re still a work in progress in some spots.” -- Austin Ausberry had an interception in a “clutch” situation. Cayden Bridges also had a big day at safety. Eku Leota “continues to give the offense problems,” and LB Cam Riley had a sack. -- He calls being an SEC DC “the opportunity of a lifetime.” -- On Wesley Steiner: “He’s done a nice job of really not taking any steps back.... Wesley is just taking it step by step each and every day.” -- On depth along the defensive line: Those starters have done a nice job and taken “a big stride” in recent days. Mentions Memphis transfer Morris Joseph Jr. and Jeffrey M’ba as guys in that second wave who have emerged this preseason. -- Facing three different QBs this preseason has allowed the defense to work on some different styles in practice. Defense has to be aware when Robby Ashford is in there because, it’s no secret, he “can really run.” -- Cam Riley and Wesley Steiner had “a great opportunity” in the spring to get first-team reps with Owen Pappoe out then. “I think that helped them kind of jump-start fall camp.” -- “There’s not a lot of guys at this level who know how to prepare like Owen Pappoe does.” -- Memphis transfer Morris Joseph Jr. has a versatile skillset where he can play a few different positions along the defensive line. -- Iowa State safety transfer Craig McDonald has done well in catching up to the language of Auburn’s system. -- On freshman LB Robert Woodyward: He’s progressing. Had a TFL in the first scrimmage, which Schmedding said could be a “spark” for the freshman. -- D.J. James and Keionte Scott are both coming along at corner behind Jaylin Simpson and Nehemiah Pritchett. “They all understand they’re competing.” ERIC KIESAU, offensive coordinator -- Kiesau calls the QB competition a tough call right now. Wants to review today’s film to get a better sense of things heading into the weekend. -- Robby Ashford had to learn to take some zip off his passes early on. He was throwing the ball hard like a baseball, which can make it difficult to catch. -- On how he’s charting QBs and watching them: “It got a little more in detail in everything we’re doing.” Says they have a grading system they use every day and every period. Not just in team periods, but in individual work too. They did it that way because they knew they had a tougher battle than a returning starter last year -- The wide receivers are still progressing, but they’re “really coming along.” New faces in that room are getting more comfortable. Says the WR group could be a “sneaky group” this season. -- Describes Auburn offense as a pro-style system with no-huddle elements to it. -- All three QBs took first-team reps in the scrimmage today, he says. “I need to watch the film to really evaluate it.” Says his feel is that T.J. Finley had really good command and precision. Robby Ashford was flashy with his mobility but is “starting to play the quarterback position,” which is important. Zach Calzada, “we need to keep bringing him along.” Consistency is the biggest thing for Calzada. -- Says T.J. Finley didn’t bat an eye when they brought in three QBs this offseason. It wasn’t until he saw someone else take first-team reps that it really clicked. Wake-up call for him. -- On Zach Calzada, says he thinks he wanted to jump in so fast after the injury, but it has taken some acclimation. “We’re still working through it with him, to be honest with you.” Calls it a “work in progress” for him and all the other QBs. -- Offensive line “is a good unit right now,” but they need to keep building on that. The offensive line play will dictate whether Auburn wins or loses games. -- Tank Bigsby did not participate in the scrimmage today, not for any dubious reason, but they wanted to get the other running backs reps. Wanted to build off Damari Alston’s strong first scrimmage. -- Tate Johnson and Brandon Council rotated at center today. Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group.

Another Trump Mystery: Why Did He Resist Returning the Government's Documents? Maggie Haberman Thu, August 18, 2022 at 7:06 AM For four years, former President Donald Trump treated the federal government and the political apparatus operating in his name as an extension of his private real estate company. It all belonged to him, he felt, melded together into a Trump brand that he had been nurturing for decades. Sign up for The Morning newsletter from the New York Times “My generals,” he repeatedly said of the active-duty and retired military leaders who filled his government. “My money,” he often called the cash he raised through his campaign or for the Republican National Committee. “My Kevin,” he said of Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader. And White House documents? “They’re mine,” three of Trump’s advisers said that he stated repeatedly when he was urged to return boxes of documents, some of them highly classified, that the National Archives sought after Trump took them with him to Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach, Florida, in January 2021. A nearly 18-month back-and-forth between the government and Trump ended in an extraordinary FBI search for the documents at Mar-a-Lago last week. The question, as with so much else around Trump, is why? Why did he insist on refusing to turn over government papers that by law did not belong to him, igniting another legal conflagration? As with so much else related to Trump, there is not one easy answer. Here are the main possibilities. Exciting documents Trump, a pack rat who for decades showed off knickknacks in his overstuffed Trump Tower office — including a giant shoe that once belonged to basketball player Shaquille O’Neal — treated the nation’s secrets as similar trinkets to brandish. White House aides described how excited he was to show off all the material he had access to, including letters from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, which he routinely waved at visitors, alarming his advisers. Some of those letters were among the trove that Trump had with him at Mar-a-Lago. The former president’s thrills over the intelligence started early. In May 2017, Trump blurted out classified intelligence provided by Israel during a meeting with two high-level Russian government officials, horrifying his national security team. Two years later, when his intelligence briefers showed him a sophisticated and sensitive photo of a failed Iranian rocket launch, Trump was gleeful. “I want to tweet this,” he told the CIA director, the national security adviser and the director of national intelligence, according to a person with direct knowledge of the event. Officials tried to stop him, but Trump went ahead and shared the photo with what were then his 63 million Twitter followers. ‘L’état, c’est moi’ Efforts intended in previous administrations to prevent conflicts of interest in the presidency were viewed derisively by Trump, who never divested from his company and kept an eye on his properties, even as he said publicly he had turned over all management to his sons. Trump embodied Louis XIV’s phrase “L’état, c’est moi,” or “I am the state,” his own advisers and several outside observers said. “From my own experiences with him, which is bolstered by those around him who are speaking in his defense, his actions seem to fit the pattern that as ‘king,’ he and the state are one and the same,” said Mark S. Zaid, a lawyer who frequently handles cases related to national security and security clearances, including during the Trump presidency. “He seems to honestly believe that everything he touches belongs to him, and that includes government documents that might be classified.” Trump rarely used a Twitter handle that was assigned to the president, @POTUS, and instead preferred to have his digital director, Dan Scavino, promote the one in Trump’s own name. The former president also regularly rejected any attempts to try to enforce outside rules, regulations or norms on the White House, and maintained that his close advisers had absolute immunity from some congressional subpoenas. “Presidents are not kings,” Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote as a federal court judge in Washington in 2019, when over White House objections she ordered Donald McGahn, Trump’s former White House counsel, to testify about what House Democrats said was a pattern of presidential obstruction of justice. She added, “They do not have subjects, bound by loyalty or blood, whose destiny they are entitled to control.” Ripping up paper Although Trump White House officials were warned about the proper handling of sensitive material, aides said Trump had little interest in the security of government documents or protocols to keep them protected. Early on, Trump became known among his staff as a hoarder who threw all manner of paper — sensitive material, news clips and various other items — into cardboard boxes that a valet or other personal aide would cart around with him wherever he went. Trump repeatedly had material sent up to the White House residence, and it was not always clear what happened to it. He sometimes asked to keep material after his intelligence briefings, but aides said he was so uninterested in the paperwork during the briefings themselves that they never understood what he wanted it for. He also had a habit of ripping up paper, from routine documents to classified material, and leaving the pieces strewn around the floor or in a trash can. Officials would have to rummage through the shreds and tape them back together to recreate the documents in order to store them as required under the Presidential Records Act. On some occasions, Trump would rip up documents — some with his handwriting on them — and throw the pieces in a toilet, which occasionally clogged the pipes in the White House. He did the same thing on at least two foreign trips, former officials said. Outside the White House, secure rooms where Trump could review sensitive documents were set up at both Mar-a-Lago and the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, although he did not always use them. Trump was meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at Mar-a-Lago in early 2017, for example, when North Korea launched a missile test. Rather than retreating to a secure room, Trump and his advisers reviewed security documents in the open air on the patio, using the flashlight from an iPhone. Paying members and their guests looked on at the show, taking photos and posting them on social media. “No other president has lived in a hotel,” said John Bolton, Trump’s third national security adviser. Over time, Trump bristled against the guardrails people tried placing on him, particularly his second White House chief of staff, John Kelly, who tried to impose a more rigid system for classified information. Personal information Trump, Bolton said, never told him he planned to take a document and use it for something beyond its value as a memento. It was “sort of whatever he wants to grab for whatever reason,” Bolton said. “He may not even fully appreciate” precisely why he did certain things. But officials worried, particularly about the documents falling into the wrong hands. Other advisers wondered if Trump kept some documents because they contained details about people he knew. Among the items that presidents are given on overseas trips are biographies of foreign leaders, a former administration official said. One version is unclassified and fairly routine. But the other is classified and can contain numerous personal details. One of the files the FBI seized at Mar-a-Lago was marked “info re: President of France,” about Emmanuel Macron. © 2022 The New York Times Company hillary has done nothing close to the things trump has......................

another republican liar telling more lies but i expect this sort of thing. read and weep dude......... Unproven allegations that Ilhan Omar married her brother, explained Grace Panetta 10-13 minutes Rep. Lauren Boebert revived unproven rumors sthat Rep. Ilhan Omar married her brother to commit immigration fraud. Conservative websites have claimed for years that Omar's second husband was really her brother. No evidence — like a birth certificate or other legal document — has surfaced to prove the theory. Prominent progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota has for years found herself on the receiving end of a slew of incendiary attacks from former President Donald Trump and other Republicans — including persistent but baseless rumors that she married her brother. GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado is the latest high-profile conservative to revive the unverified claim amid other Islamophobic attacks and insults against Omar. In a November 17 speech on the House floor, Boebert called Omar a member of the "Jihad Squad" and referred to Omar's "brother-husband." Trump poured more fuel on the fire in a Tuesday statement, accusing Omar, who came to the US as a young girl, of "abandoning her country" and saying "she should apologize for marrying her brother." Omar, who was born in Somalia in 1982, came to America as a refugee with her father and siblings in 1995 by way of a Kenyan refugee camp and resettled in Minneapolis, where she became a US citizen. Omar was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2016 and to Congress in 2018, one of the first two Muslim women to serve in Congress. At an October 2019 rally in Omar's district in Minneapolis, Trump praised the work of conservative blogger Scott Johnson, who authors the Power Line blog. "Everything about Omar is a fraud, including her name," Trump said at the rally. "Scott reports that his sources told him, that Omar's legal husband was Omar's brother, and that she married him for fraudulent purposes, you mean like, coming into the United States maybe?" The unverified rumors that Omar married her brother originated from an anonymous user on a Somali-American internet forum in 2016, and have circulated around the internet ever since. Conservative bloggers have claimed that Omar's second husband, a British citizen named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, is her brother and that she married him to help him fraudulently gain a US green card.

AP Photo/Jim Mone Public documents contradict some of Omar's story about her marriage history No hard evidence — like a birth certificate or other legal documents — has surfaced to prove that Elmi is Omar's brother or that any fraud was committed. Yet Omar has still not explained some discrepancies and inconsistencies in her marriage history. Omar released a lengthy statement when she first ran for office in 2016 to address the persistent rumors that she married her brother, which she called "absurd and offensive," and gave a timeline of her marriage and relationship history. Omar married her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, in an Islamic faith ceremony in 2002 when she was 19, but the couple did not obtain a legal marriage certificate. The couple had two children together from 2002 to 2008. Omar and Hirsi split in 2008, also in a faith-based, not legal, proceeding. Omar legally married her second husband, Elmi, in 2009. Elmi and Omar separated just two years later, in 2011, but did not get a legal divorce. Elmi moved back to London. Omar and Hirsi got back together in 2012 and had their third child while Omar was separated from but still legally married to Elmi. Omar officially divorced Elmi in 2017 and legally married Hirsi in 2018. Omar filed to legally divorce Hirsi in October 2019, citing an "irretrievable breakdown of the marriage relationship" in her divorce filings. Their divorce was finalized in November 2019, and Hirsi married another woman a little over a month later in December. Omar also remarried, tying the knot with political consultant Tim Mynett in March 2020. Numerous public documents obtained and reported by news outlets including the Minneapolis Star Tribune and the Washington Examiner, however, cast doubt on Omar's official timeline of her marriage and relationship history. As the Star Tribune reported in June 2019, Omar filed joint tax returns with Hirsi in 2014 and 2015 while she was still legally married to Elmi. She was fined by Minnesota's campaign-finance watchdog for paying a lawyer with campaign funds to fix the mistake, as federal law prohibits people from filing joint returns with a person who is not their spouse. At about the same time, the Examiner published a story reporting that in dozens of publicly available traffic violation and court records, Hirsi "listed his address at a single Cedar Riverside address consistently in 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011," the same address Omar listed in separate traffic-violation cases, including during the time she was split from Hirsi. The Examiner further discovered a 2013 local news article which said that Omar and Hirsi "moved to North Dakota so that Omar could finish her bachelor's degree in political science" from 2009 to 2011, the exact time frame during which she was legally married to Elmi, who also attended North Dakota State. Complicating matters further, both the Star Tribune and the Examiner reported that the address in the Minneapolis suburb of Columbia Heights that Omar and Elmi listed on their 2009 marriage-license application was the same location Hirsi listed as his home address when applying for a business license with the state government that same year.

Trump’s CFO Allen Weisselberg Will Implicate Trump Companies in Guilty Plea Victoria Bekiempis Wed, August 17, 2022 at 1:59 PM Allen-Weisselberg - Credit: Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s finance chief, will say in Manhattan court Thursday that he conspired with several of the ex-president’s companies when he pleads guilty to state tax crimes, two sources familiar with the case tell Rolling Stone. As part of Weisselberg’s plea deal, he has agreed to testify against The Trump Corporation and the Trump Payroll Corporation at trial, which is scheduled for October.

One of the sources said that while Weisselberg is agreeing to testify, that does not mean he necessarily will; it depends on whether prosecutors decide to call him. The New York Times first reported that Weisselberg was expected to plead guilty, and CNN reported he would testify if called. Weisselberg will not go beyond his testimony to help the criminal probe, one of the sources said. Still, his potential testimony could pose a severe threat to Trump’s companies. This possible testimony, which allegedly implicates Trump’s businesses, could be key to prosecutors’ securing a guilty verdict against these companies. When a company is found to have engaged in criminal conduct, significant fines can pile up quickly — potentially leading to its demise. Weisselberg’s expected guilty plea stems from an indictment last year from the Manhattan district attorney’s office accusing him and several of Trump’s companies of tax crimes in a “sweeping and audacious illegal payment scheme.” These financial offenses related to the lavish perks that came with being CFO of Donald Trump’s real estate empire. (The Trump Organization has maintained its not guilty plea, so his namesake business, and several related entities, remain under indictment.) Starting in 2005, Weisselberg, a Trump family employee of some five decades, lived gratis in an apartment on Manhattan’s Riverside Boulevard. The Trump Corporation, which leased the apartment, was covering his rent — along with Weisselberg’s utilities and parking fees, the indictment charged. The Trump Organization also allegedly made sure his longtime moneyman rode in style. From 2005 to 2017, the ex-president’s company paid the leases on two Mercedes Benzes that Weisselberg and his wife used as their personal cars. Trump’s company gave Weisselberg cash around Christmastime so he could pay “personal holiday gratuities,” prosecutors alleged. Weisselberg’s family was also well taken care of, prosecutors said. The company covered Weisselberg’s personal expenses “for his homes and for an apartment maintained by one of his children,” according to the indictment. Among these requests were items such as “new beds, flat-screen televisions, the installation of carpeting, and furniture for Weisselberg’s home in Florida.” Weisselberg’s grandchildren benefited from this arrangement, too, with the Trump Corporation footing the bill for private school tuition, per the charging papers. Prosecutors alleged that Weisselberg didn’t declare these benefits on his taxes, meaning he purportedly received $1.7 million in unlawful payments. A lawyer for Trump’s companies declined to comment. A spokesperson for the Manhattan D.A.’s office did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Speaking generally about how a Weisselberg guilty plea could impact Trump, Rebecca Roiphe, New York Law School professor, tells Rolling Stone: “It is another Trump person being convicted of something, and it also reflects on him more than just the company he keeps. This is obviously conduct that occurred separately from his presidency and has to do with how he conducted his businesses. Whether or not he was directly involved in these actions, or knew about them or was criminally liable for them, it’s serious and significant.” Weisselberg pleading guilty does not mean that Trump will wind up convicted of financial crimes. Roiphe explained that in corporate contexts, however, the discovery that a company higher-up is committing crimes like Weisselberg’s offenses could mean the end of a business. “It should — and does — bear upon his reputation as a businessperson in New York. Assuming they can convict the organization as well, it can have direct consequences on his business and his work and his business’s ability to continue in New York,” Roiphe said. “Criminal liability is usually a pretty big deal for a corporation— it’s often a death sentence. The penalties could be so significant that the organization cannot survive past it. The penalties can be so high the company just doesn’t exist, and it could ultimately end in the dissolution of the company.” The potential of criminal liability for Trump was greater in the Georgia election meddling case and South Florida federal records inquiry. “There’s a parallel civil and criminal investigation in New York [and] while we don’t know where it will ultimately lead, there have certainly been signs that show the [New York] criminal investigation has been lagging,” Roiphe said.
