Will Wilkerson, then an executive at former president Donald Trump’s start-up Trump Media & Technology Group, was at a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., coffee shop with company co-founder Andy Litinsky last October when Trump called Litinsky with a question: Would he give up some of his shares to Trump’s wife, Melania?
Trump Media, the owner of the fledgling social network Truth Social, had just been boosted by a huge merger agreement and a flood of investment that had made the stake worth millions of dollars. Trump had already been given 90 percent of the company’s shares in exchange for the use of his name and some minor involvement, leaving everyone else to split the rest.
Litinsky tried to brush it off, telling Trump “the gift would have meant a huge tax bill he couldn’t pay,” Wilkerson said in an interview. “Trump didn’t care. He said, ‘Do whatever you need to do.’ ”
Five months later, Litinsky, who first met Trump in 2004 as a contestant on the TV show “The Apprentice,” was abruptly removed from the company’s board. Wilkerson said he believes it was payback for his refusal to turn over a small fortune to the former president’s wife. Litinsky thought so, too, according to an email Wilkerson and his attorneys shared with The Washington Post and the Securities and Exchange Commission. In that email, Litinsky complained that Trump was “retaliating against me” by threatening to “ ‘blow up the company’ if his demands are not met.”

just an update on bannon's sentencing for refusing to show up for the jan 6 committee subpoena, since it might provide a rough timeline of how long it would might possibly take for trump to face consequences for not showing up for his own subpoena. bannon is the only other guy to get charged with this in 50+ years. after the sentencing, he will appeal, and it'll take until next summer at the earliest. so, about a year and a half after refusing to show up?
Before I get into DOJ's Steve Bannon's sentencing memo, keep in mind that Bannon's sentence will be appealed. Bannon is HIGHLY unlikely to go to jail until next summer, at the earlier. And this is being written for Carl Nichols, who favors the appeal. https://t.co/bNpfHgjGAs— emptywheel (@emptywheel) October 17, 2022
assuming trump refuses to show up this fall, the miracle that he is actually held accountable for this and is punished for the same thing any of us would be punished for, and that it is appealed and the appealing judge isn't corrupt, that puts trump's 30 day sentence in jail (lol, it seems so impossible that it would ever, ever happen as i type this) some time in late spring/early summer 2024? this sounds incredibly plausible, can't wait to see him go to jail in the middle of his campaign to openly steal the election

yeah. and even if the democrats keep the house, no one will ever give a fuck about this subpoena that he'll never show up to. the only way it will be remembered is if it stands as the last action of the jan 6 committee, if nothing else comes out of it. and then it will be remembered as a complete fucking joke

That was in reference to Trump implying there was a secretive weapons system he controlled. “I have built a weapons system that nobody’s ever had in this country before,” Trump said in an interview, before referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. “We have stuff that you haven’t even seen or heard about. We have stuff that Putin and Xi have never heard about before.”Trump’s long obsessions with strongmen leaders — and Kim in particular — comes through in the interviews. Throughout their conversations, Trump repeats the false claim that former president Barack Obama tried 11 times to reach Kim with no success.Woodward points out that Trump’s own military advisers have warned him that Kim “lies through his teeth to you,” and that Obama made no attempts to speak with Kim himself.“Kim Jong Un gave you bad information on that,” Woodward tells Trump at one point. “I don’t think that’s true.”But Trump is not persuaded, choosing to believe Kim over his own advisers.“Obama called 11 times,” Trump insists. “They showed me the records in Korea. I’m very close to this man. Very close.”In a later interview, Trump boasts that he averted a war with North Korea, again repeating his false claim about Obama and choosing to believe Kim over his own military team: “Obama wanted, 11 times he tried,” Trump says. “Kim Jong Un told me. Eleven times.”
