LEAK: Trump Worker Told FBI About Moving Mar-a-Lago Boxes on Former President’s Orders – Trump Spox Responds

 

Another day, another leak to the Washington Post.

 

A Trump employee told the FBI they moved boxes of documents at Mar-a-Lago on the former president’s orders, according to the Washington Post.

 

Apparently only Trump isn’t allowed to take possession of his own presidential records.

 

Barack Obama was never harassed or accused of violating the Espionage Act for storing highly classified documents at a warehouse.

According to The Post, the claim from Trump’s worker is corroborated by security footage.

 

Trump’s worker was told to move the boxes after the former president received a subpoena in May for classified documents.

 

According to WaPo, this worker initially denied handling Trump’s documents, but in the second interview with the feds, they admitted they moved some boxes for Trump.

 

This unidentified worker is now a key witness in the Mar-a-Lago investigation.

 

Trump’s spox Taylor Budowich blasted Joe Biden’s corrupt Justice Department in a statement to the Washington Post.

 

“The Biden administration has weaponized law enforcement and fabricated a Document Hoax in a desperate attempt to retain political power,” Taylor Budowich said in a statement. “Every other President has been given time and deference regarding the administration of documents, as the President has the ultimate authority to categorize records, and what materials should be classified.”

 

Budowich also accused Joe Biden’s corrupt DOJ of leaking “misleading and false information to partisan allies in the Fake News.”

 

The Washington Post reported:

 

A Trump employee has told federal agents about moving boxes of documents at Mar-a-Lago at the specific direction of the former president, according to people familiar with the investigation, who say the witness account — combined with security-camera footage — offers key evidence of Donald Trump’s behavior as investigators sought the return of classified material.

 

The witness description and footage described to The Washington Post offer the most direct account to date of Trump’s actions and instructions leading up to the FBI’s Aug. 8 search of the Florida residence and private club, in which agents were looking for evidence of potential crimes including obstruction, destruction of government records or mishandling classified information.

 

The people familiar with the investigation said agents have gathered witness accounts indicating that, after Trump advisers received a subpoena in May for any classified documents that remained at Mar-a-Lago, Trump told people to move boxes to his residence at the property. That description of events was corroborated by the security-camera footage, which showed people moving the boxes, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

 

In the first interview, these people said, the witness denied handling sensitive documents or the boxes that might contain such documents. As they gathered evidence, agents decided to re-interview the witness, and the witness’s story changed dramatically, these people said. In the second interview, the witness described moving boxes at Trump’s request.

Data wars: Political operatives scrutinize Americans’ digital lives to hunt for voters, donors

 

The Netflix shows you watch, the books you read and the food you eat are all part of a broad set of data that political operatives use to determine whether you will vote in this year’s midterm elections and give money to their candidates.

 

Democratic data firm Sterling Data Co. told The Washington Times that it has developed a donor behavior algorithm capable of finding people willing to fund Democratic campaigns regardless of whether they have ever done so before.

 

“I think most people don’t really understand how their data is being used, and I’m not saying that in a bad way,” said Martin Kurucz, Sterling’s CEO. “Everybody’s data is used for advertising. There’s nobody on this earth whose data isn’t out there.”

 

Sterling acquires troves of data from brokers such as Experian and Acxiom and reviews hundreds of categories of online behavior by individual potential voters, including their streaming choices and preferences for fiction or nonfiction books.

 

Mr. Kurucz said he started developing the algorithm while working for Gil Cisneros, a California Democrat in Congress who was struggling to raise money ahead of the 2020 election. After applying the algorithm, he said, Mr. Cisneros’ team saw a spike in dollars raised per hour their candidate spent on the phone.

 

Mr. Cisneros lost the election, but the technology drew the interest of other Democratic candidates. Mr. Kurucz turned the work into a business with the help of other Democratic operatives.

 

His team has worked for more than 1,000 Democratic clients this cycle, including campaigns, committees and nonprofits. Clients include John Fetterman, the Democratic Senate nominee in Pennsylvania, and Beto O’Rourke, the Democratic challenger in the Texas governor’s race.

 

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee paid Sterling’s data team $20,000 in July, according to Federal Election Commission records.

 

Democratic candidates are not singularly reliant on aligned firms like Sterling to leverage people’s data for dollars and voter turnout. Mr. O’Rourke’s team has taken advantage of Meta’s tools for Facebook and Instagram to target ads to specific Texans.

 

During a 30-day period ending Oct. 9, the Meta Ad Library shows Mr. O’Rourke used the tools to exclude people interested in NASCAR and deer hunting from seeing his ads. Instead, he pushed the ads to those interested in the television show “Parks and Recreation,” the fast-food restaurant Whataburger, consumers of soy milk and almond milk, and people interested in the category “latte,” among other things.

COVID-19 nasal spray fails in trial by Oxford University and AstraZeneca

 

The drive to develop a nasal spray against COVID-19 infection suffered a setback Tuesday after AstraZeneca and Oxford University said a trial produced disappointing results.

 

Only a “minority of participants” produced an antibody response in their nasal passages and protection was generally weaker than standard COVID-19 shots developed by Oxford researchers and the drugmaker, the trial found.

 

The U.K. trial involved 30 unvaccinated persons and 12 volunteers who received a regular two-dose vaccine.

 

“The nasal spray did not perform as well in this study as we had hoped,” said Sandy Douglas, chief investigator of the trial at Oxford University’s Jenner Institute. “We believe that delivery of vaccines to the nose and lungs remains a promising approach, but this study suggests there are likely to be challenges in making nasal sprays a reliable option.”

 

Global health authorities say a nasal spray would be an optimal approach because it is far easier to administer than a shot and might thwart the virus where it enters the body and combat transmission. The available intramuscular vaccines for COVID-19 generally thwart severe disease but haven’t stopped infection and transmission outright.

 

Regulators in India recently approved a spray from Bharat Biotech, and China’s CanSino Biologics Inc. authorized a vaccine given with a nebulizer.

 

CanSino claims its spray is effective against transmission while Bharat hasn’t published its trial data, according to Reuters.

 

The setback at Oxford suggests Western nations will have to wait a bit longer for new options, as researchers search for new approaches.

 

“Although the vaccine and delivery device combination in this study did not warrant further exploration, optimization of this vaccine and other candidates for mucosal delivery remains a key opportunity for transmission-blocking vaccines,” results published in The Lancet medical journal said.

SpaceX books another ride for a millionaire around the moon

 

SpaceX said Wednesday that it has booked yet another mission around the moon for a wealthy thrill-seeker on its forthcoming Starship spacecraft.

 

CNN — SpaceX said Wednesday that it has booked yet another mission around the moon for a wealthy thrill-seeker on its forthcoming Starship spacecraft.

Dennis Tito, a US millionaire who previously paid his way to the International Space Station in 2001, and his wife, Akiko, plan to take a lunar expedition that will last roughly a week, according to SpaceX.

 

The mission will come only after SpaceX fulfills its commitment to launch billionaire payments processing CEO Jared Isaacman on the first commercial human spaceflight mission on Starship, a rocket and spacecraft system that is still under development at SpaceX facilities in South Texas. Starship is awaiting approval from federal regulators to make its first uncrewed orbital test flight.

 

SpaceX will also carry out its first trip around the moon for billionaire fashion mogul Yusaku Maezawa, a mission announced years ago, before Tito's trip, according to a press release.

 

Tito, who is 82, became the first person ever to pay his way to space 21 years ago when he booked a ride with a company called Space Adventures. That company booked a handful of rides to space by purchasing seats aboard Russian Soyuz spacecraft in the early 2000s.

 

Now, commercial space companies, including SpaceX, are looking to follow up on those earliest days of space tourism by selling seats aboard newly developed, US-made spacecraft.

 

It's not clear when the first crewed Starship mission will take off, however. That spacecraft is expected to be the follow-up to the capsule called Crew Dragon that SpaceX designed and built to carry NASA astronauts to and from ISS. The company has already launched private customers, including Isaacman, aboard that vehicle.

 

But Starship is far bigger than anything that SpaceX — or any other rocket developer — has ever built. It's expected to have more thrust than both NASA's Saturn V rocket, which powered the moon landings of the mid-20th century, and the space agency's new moon rocket, called SLS. The company has long billed it as the vehicle that could one day put humans on Mars for the first time, and NASA has reserved the vehicle to return astronauts to the lunar surface later this decade.

 

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has, however, said he plans to carry out Starship test launches and missions with no crew — only satellites — before putting people on board.

 

Before that can happen, the Federal Aviation Administration, which licenses commercial rocket launches, must give the company approval.

 

When reached by email Wednesday morning, an FAA spokesperson said only that the agency will "make a license determination only after SpaceX provides all outstanding information and the agency can fully analyze it."
