Devin Nunes Complains About Colbert Segment Mocking Him: Its A Danger

House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) on Saturday complained about a segment from CBS late night host Stephen Colbert mocking the Republican memo accusing the Obama administration Justice Department of abusing the surveillance system.

During an interview, Fox News’ Neil Cavuto played a clip from Colbert’s Friday night segment about the House Intelligence Committee and asked for Nunes’ thoughts.

“This is the danger that we have in this country,” Nunes said after watching the clip. “The left controls not only the universities in this country, but they also control Hollywood in this country, and the mainstream media, so conservatives in this country are under attack.”

New report suggests Trump personally coordinated $130,000 payment to adult film star

A new report by the Wall Street Journal on Monday suggests that President Donald Trump knew about payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels weeks before the election.

In a previous statement made in mid-February, Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen claimed he used his “personal funds” to “facilitate” the payment and was not reimbursed by the Trump campaign or the Trump Organization. Cohen refused to say if he was reimbursed by the Trump organization or Trump personally.

“In a private transaction in 2016, I used my own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford,” Cohen said in the statement. “Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly. The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful, and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone.”

White House dodges question about whether Trump talked to Icahn before tariff announcement

Source: Think Progress

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders dodged a question about whether President Trump spoke with billionaire investor Carl Icahn prior to announcing last week his intention to impose hefty tariffs on steel.

Trump and Icahn’s communications have been at issue after ThinkProgress reported last week that Icahn dumped more than $30 million in steel-related stock days before the announcement. A leading expert in insider trading, Duke Law professor James D. Cox, told ThinkProgress the timing of the sale was “awfully suspicious” and “unquestionably” warranted a federal investigation.

A key question in any such inquiry is whether Icahn was in touch with Trump or others in the White House and learned material inside information about potential steel tariffs.

This is what an insider trading expert thinks about Carl Icahns stock dump

One of the nation’s leading experts in insider trading, James D. Cox, believes that Carl Icahn’s sale of more than 1 million shares of a steel-related stock just days before President Trump announced plans to impose steep tariffs on steel imports was “awfully suspicious” and “unquestionably” warrants a federal investigation.

Cox, a professor at Duke Law, has been teaching and writing about insider trading law for nearly 50 years. He has testified as an expert on on the subject before the U.S. House and Senate. Cox literally wrote the book on corporate governance, co-authoring the multi-volume treatise Cox and Hazen on Corporations, which includes a section on insider trading law.

Last week, ThinkProgress broke the news that Icahn systematically sold off nearly 1 million shares of Manitowoc Company Inc between February 12 and February 22. Manitowoc, a leading manufacturer of cranes and other heavy-duty lifting equipment, is highly-dependent on steel. Just seven days later, Trump disclosed at a White House event that he was planning a 25 percent tariff on steel imports.
