Not a single one offered anything up in way of dissent. Thomas said no thanks. Quite the day.

They ARE the coup....Donald is a useful idiot...

Also as he is such an incomparable fuckwit, you just know the rancid little Edwin will dig himself the deepest hole. Give him a stage and he will not be able to help himself.

Wilkerson detailed several allegations about the company to The Washington Post.

An email obtained by the Post showed another co-founder believed Trump was retaliating against him.

A co-founder of Trump Media & Technology Group, the company behind Truth Social, said former President Donald Trump pushed another executive to give some of his shares to Melania Trump and retaliated when the request was declined, according to a Washington Post report.

Will Wilkerson, who filed a whistleblower complaint about the company to the SEC in August, made the allegation in a story published by the outlet on Saturday. The Post, which obtained materials submitted with Wilkerson's complaint, detailed accusations of infighting and potentially illegal activity at the company.

Trump had been given a 90% stake in the company when it was founded, according to the SEC complaint. But Wilkerson told the Post he was with fellow co-founder Andy Litinsky in October 2021 when the latter received a call from Trump. At the time, the company had recently reached a merger deal that would catapult the value of its stock. Wilkerson said the former president asked Litinsky to give some of his shares to Melania Trump.

Wilkerson told the Post that Litinsky demurred and explained the gift would result in a tax bill he would be unable to pay: "Trump didn't care. He said, 'Do whatever you need to do.'"

Litinsky, a former contestant on "The Apprentice," was removed from the company's board five months later in what Wilkerson believed was retaliation. According to a March email obtained by the Post, Litinsky also believed he had been retaliated against.

"President Trump over the past 2 months has repeatedly demanded that I give my TMTG equity to Melania Trump," Litinsky wrote, according to a screenshot of the email published by the Post. "As I have informed him several times, I have earned that equity, and also 'gifting' equity to Melania Trump would be a taxable event of which I can't afford to pay the taxes."

He has now formally been subpoenaed:

Trump's hide-and-seek fails, $250m he tried hiding in Trump Org 2 is stopped.

[Raid]

Wait, sorry, he had $250million... in cash?

As someone that has had to hand-count about £15000 and hand it to a customer to place into a suitcase (suffice to say there were plenty of questions asked, this only ever happened once), my mind absolutely reels at the logistics of this.

He set up a new company (and called it Trump Organisation 2) and shifted funds to it to evade scrutiny for his current NY civil case. Letitia James sued him for £250 million and the judge just ruled in favour and instructed a monitor to ensure the correct disclosure of all funds.

"Given defendants’ propensity to engage in persistent fraud, failure to grant such an injunction could result in extreme prejudice to the people of New York,” the judge wrote.

Oh, I think I misinterpreted the tweet. I assumed it was suggesting that NY stopped 100 briefcases of $2.4million being moved, but I think they're just using the image to illustrate the scale of the fraud.

[eny]

Yeah, Tommy can be quite 'on the spectrum' with his tweets!

[Animalmother]

So he's pretty much announced he's running for president again. Can't be sent to jail if your in charge I suppose.

[Raid]

Yeah, but he was always going to say that, wasn't he. Everything he says is complete fiction until he actually acts.

Who actually decides who the party put up as their candidate?
