Senate confirms Bridget Brink as new U.S. ambassador to Ukraine

Published: May 18, 2022 at 10:54 p.m. ET

 

"Post has been vacant since Trump forced out Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch in 2019"

 

"WASHINGTON — The Senate confirmed Bridget Brink late Wednesday as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, filling the post as officials plan to return American diplomats to Kyiv during the nation’s continuing battle against the Russian invasion.

 

The veteran foreign service officer, who has spent most of her career in the shadow of the former Soviet Union, was nominated to the position last month by President Joe Biden. She was confirmed unanimously by the Senate without a formal roll call vote.

 

American diplomats evacuated Kyiv when the war began three months ago, but the U.S. reopened the embassy Wednesday.

 

The ambassador’s post has been vacant since former President Donald Trump abruptly forced out Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch in 2019. She later became a key figure in the first impeachment proceedings against Trump.

 

Brink had been the ambassador to Slovakia."

O brother, who paid thou? BLM boss’ graffiti artist bro raked in $840K for 'security'

 

May 18, 2022

"Patrisse Cullors paid a company controlled by her graffiti artist brother Paul $840,993 in fiscal 2020, according to the group’s federal tax filings."

 

"A co-founder of Black Lives Matter used more than $800,000 in donations to pay her brother for “security services” for the charity even though he seems to mostly work as a graffiti artist.

 

Patrisse Cullors, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, paid a company controlled by Paul Cullors $840,993 in fiscal 2020, according to the group’s federal tax filings, which cover the period July 1, 2020, to June 20, 2021.

 

It’s the first time BLMGNF has filed with the IRS since receiving more than $66 million in donations in October 2020.

 

In July 2020, Paul Cullors, a self-taught graffiti artist, founded the security company Cullors Protection LLC, which received the cash for “professional security services,” the filings show. Around the same time, he was one of two “visiting artists” at a Los Angeles art collective called Crenshaw Dairy Mart, founded by his sister."

"At the end of that year, in December 2020, Paul Cullors purchased a suburban Los Angeles home for $637,006, according to public records. The three-bedroom, two-bath bungalow sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in northern LA. There is no storefront or business headquarters for Cullors Protection LLC; the company is registered and operated at Paul Cullors’ home, and it’s unclear if it has any employees besides himself.

 

Paul secured a loan of $350,000 to finance his purchase of the property, according to public records. In addition, he also secured a loan to install Tesla generators on the property, public records say."
