7/8/19: Believe it or not, Trump’s approval ratings are up, to 45.1 percent (vs. 52.4 percent disapproval).
That upward tick may not last. CNN reports that previously convicted felon Elliott Broidy, and Trump bosom buddy, is again under investigation. Federal prosecutors have requested information about “contacts with foreign leaders and businesses while working for President Donald Trump’s inauguration.”
The request comes as part of a probe into whether Broidy, a Los
Angeles private investor, sought to sell his influence with the Trump administration.
The US attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York in
April subpoenaed the President’s Inaugural Committee seeking documents and
records relating to Broidy, five companies associated with him and foreign
politicians – including the presidents of Angola and the Republic of Congo
and two Romanian politicians, the sources said.
The grand jury subpoena also requests information about George Nader, a key witness in special
counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation who was arrested last month on
child pornography charges.
CNN notes that a
representative of the Inaugural Committee declined to comment for the story. (See:
