About That Swamp?


Charities steered $65M to Trump lawyer Sekulow and family
"The Associated Press reviewed 10 years of tax returns for the ACLJ and other charities tied to Sekulow, which are released to the public under federal law. The records from 2008 to 2017, the most recent year available, show that more than $65 million in charitable funds were paid to Sekulow, his wife, his sons, his brother, his sister-in-law, his nephew and corporations they own."


Media

Sean Hannity is conducting Trump’s Super Bowl interview because Fox’s primary purpose is propaganda
"If Fox executives had wanted to showcase their much-touted “news” side, they could have put forward someone like anchor Chris Wallace, who has occasionally made news for challenging interviews with Trump officials. Instead, they are sending Hannity, who is so sympathetic to Trump that he effectively functions as a White House spokesperson." 
We still don't know why Hannity was Cohen's only other client.
