Trump Could Be Investigated for Tax Fraud, D.A. Says for First Time

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/21/nyregion/donald-trump-taxes-cyrus-vance.html

The Manhattan district attorney’s office, which has been locked in a yearlong legal battle with President Trump over obtaining his tax returns, suggested for the first time on Monday that it had grounds to investigate him and his businesses for tax fraud.

The assertion by the office of the district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., offered rare insight into the office’s investigation into the president and his business dealings, which began more than two years ago.

Mr. Vance, a Democrat, has never revealed the scope of his office’s criminal inquiry, citing grand jury secrecy. The investigation has been stalled by the fight over a subpoena that the office issued in August 2019 for eight years of the president’s tax returns.

Lawyers for Mr. Trump have said the subpoena should be blocked, calling it “wildly overbroad” and politically motivated. Mr. Vance responded to that argument in a new filing that did not directly accuse Mr. Trump or any of his businesses or associates of wrongdoing.

However, prosecutors listed news reports and public testimony that alleged misconduct by Mr. Trump and his businesses. The reports, prosecutors wrote, would justify a grand jury inquiry into a range of possible crimes, including tax and insurance fraud and falsification of business records. It was the first time the office had included tax fraud among the possible areas of investigation. “Even if the grand jury were testing the truth of public allegations alone, such reports, taken together, fully justify the scope of the grand jury subpoena at issue in this case,” prosecutors wrote.

Jay Sekulow, a lawyer for Mr. Trump, declined to comment on the district attorney’s filing.

how did Trump killed 200,000 people? What exactly was the expert advice he failed to heed?

Trump in his own words and attitude in not taking full responsibility as the President of the U.S. which has resulted in thousands of deaths, compared to other countries, even Nigeria and African countries have been more proactive in ensuring minimal deaths

‘It’s a big, big swing’: Trump loses ground with white voters

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/21/trump-white-voters-support-418420

Donald Trump is making modest inroads with Latinos. Polls suggest he’s pulling slightly more Black support than in 2016.

But Trump is tilting at the margins with those groups. His bigger problem is the demographic that sent him to the White House — white voters, whose embrace of Trump appears to be slipping in critical, predominantly white swing states.

In Minnesota, where the contest between Trump and Joe Biden had seemed to tighten in recent weeks — and where both candidates stumped on Friday — a CBS News/YouGov survey last week had Trump running 2 percentage points behind Biden with white voters, after carrying them by 7 points in 2016. Even among white voters without college degrees — Trump’s base — the president was far short of the margin he put up against Hillary Clinton there.

It’s the same story in Wisconsin, where Trump won non-college educated white women by 16 percentage points four years ago but is now losing them by 9 percentage points, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll. In Pennsylvania, Biden has now pulled even with Trump among white voters, according to an NBC News/Marist Poll.

Authorities Intercept Package Containing Ricin Mailed to the White House, Addressed to Trump
Note: Ricin, a lectin produced in the seeds of the castor oil plant, Ricinus communis, is a highly potent toxin. A dose of purified ricin powder the size of a few grains of table salt can kill an adult human

The package was addressed to President Donald Trump.

A facility outside the White House typically screens all mail before it is delivered to the White House.

An official speaking to the New York Times said the letter is believed to have been sent from Canada.

An attempt to mail ricin to President Trump was also intercepted in October 2018.

William Clyde Allen, a former Naval officer was arrested by the FBI for mailing ricin filled letters to Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson, and FBI Director Chris Wray.

Coronavirus live updates - two Republican states have cases higher than New York

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/live-updates/coronavirus/?id=73141490&cid=clicksource_4380645_1_heads_hero_live_hero_hed

Since the first cases were detected in China in December, the virus has rapidly spread to every continent except Antarctica.

The United States is the worst-affected country, with more than 6.8 million diagnosed cases and at least 199,513 deaths.

California has the most cases of any U.S. state, with more than 786,000 people diagnosed, according to Johns Hopkins data. California is followed by Texas and Florida, with over 713,000 cases and over 683,000 cases, respectively.

Nearly 170 vaccine candidates for COVID-19 are being tracked by the World Health Organization, at least six of which are in crucial phase three trials.

This your lie is going to need more than mere picture of people's backs to support your claims.

The picture could have been anywhere long time ago and there'sno evidence they are Trump's supporters especially now that democrats have been seen carrying Trump's flags to sabotage him.

If this is true you would have seen liberal media descend there, but above all, conservatives just don't do things this way especially with loud music.

What lie?

Why would Democrats carry TrumpPence flags or signs? Even some black brethren are present protesting

This is what Trump have turned the U.S. elections to.

He complained about frauds to mail-in voting with legal issues in courts, he was against early voting in some states because his base will be disenfransihed according to him. Now his supporters are intimidating voters lining up to vote.

The supreme court is now on the ballot.

Those young progressives that sat at home in 2016 will not make the same mistake again.

It will be difficult for the republicans to confirm.a nominee realistically.
Until after the election we are holding the words of Lindsey Graham against him.

Not only Lindsey Graham, but a number of GOP senators talked about not confirning SCJ in an election year. How they will change their decisions within the next few weeks will be interesting to see.

Don't mind that guy. Was it not Trump's CDC director that claimed the vaccine won't be ready till after election. I guess the director is a libtard too. Trump hired a liberal CDC director.

Trump wanted to lie his way through as usual.

So much confusion and incoherent inconsistency from.Trump.

Not the first time Trump will contradict his own appointees.

Apparently according to a grapevine source, Trump's WH is looking for new shortlists for the Director of the FBI, after Christopher Wray's statements about ANTIFA, Russia and China which Trump is not happy with.
