Before Trump was sworn in, he and six of his aides said there were no contacts between the campaign and Russians. ZERO. Turned out 15+ Trump people had 100+ contacts with Russian officials, known spies, cutouts and oligarchs. This massive lie has defined Trump's presidency.

- Tucker Carlson last night: “There is no evidence that white supremacists were responsible for what happened on January 6. That’s a lie" Moments ago: ex-Capitol Police chief, DC police chief, ex-House and Senate sergeant-at-arms all testified that white supremacists were involved
- President Trump just re-tweeted a video of some of his supporters shouting “white power!” It doesn’t get more explicit than this, folks.
- from Philly courtroom — Musk lawyer says his $1m giveaway is NOT a lottery. "There is no prize to be won" and winners "are not chosen at random," Musk lawyer Chris Gober said. Instead, the $1m is a salary they "earn" to be a spokesperson for Musk's pro-Trump super PAC. Winners
- NEW: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to answer questions and turn over evidence about USPS policy changes within 10 days as part of a lawsuit brought by Democratic state AGs over recent mail slowdowns and the impact on the 2020 election. (h/t @kpolantz)
- Election officials from 29 counties across Georgia told CNN they finished their audits and found no discrepancies with the results — further discrediting President Trump’s lies about widespread fraud in the state. Officials say the recount will end tomorrow and affirm Biden's win
- Apparently, the Trump campaign thinks it's smart politics to pick a fight with Dr. Fauci three weeks before Election Day. Their ad is misleading and Fauci says his words "were taken out of context." Remember: 68% of Americans say they trust Fauci, and 62% distrust Trump on Covid.
- THREAD: Roger Stone was supposed to be in prison now, having been convicted of 7 federal crimes. But thanks to Trump, he's a free man — and can call into Alex Jones' conspiracy show. He did Thursday, and urged Trump to do a bunch of illegal things regarding the election. (1/6)
- For the first time EVER, the US government said Russian agent Konstantin Kilimnik provided Russian intelligence agencies with the internal Trump campaign polling/strategy data he received from Manafort and Gates in 2016. Even Mueller didn't go that far. home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
- The widely respected @MayoClinic has a policy requiring all visitors to wear a mask. (Smart!) They told Pence about this before his visit. He ignored it. They let him in anyway. Then they tweeted about telling Pence ahead of time. Then they deleted the tweet. This is not normal.

- Whoa. New texts obtained by CNN show that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told Meadows that he should talk to Trump about the possibility of invoking martial law. She testified Friday under oath that she couldn't remember if she ever advocated for martial law. cnn.com/2022/04/25/pol…
