President Donald Trump and his son-in-law and senior White House adviser Jared Kushner have been accused of breaking the law by failing to keep records of their meetings with foreign government officials including Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and top Saudi officials.
The suit cites news reports that Trump had at least five different meetings with Putin with no notetaker in the room, meaning an official record of the meeting does not exist. Trump also confiscated a State Department interpreter’s notes after meeting with Putin in Germany, and had a private meeting with Kim in Vietnam with two interpreters but no record was produced, according to the suit.
Weismann said Kushner—whom Trump tasked with creating a supposedly soon-to-be-released Middle East peace plan—is meeting with very sophisticated and possibly adversarial foreign leaders and “that alone raises concerns.”
sactolawyer 😱I’m just shocked! And what will be done about it? Zip, zero, zilch.
UROCKlive1 Lock them all up
UROCKlive1 STOP GOP treason! STOP the GOP coup! STOP GOP warmongering! STOP REPUBLICIDE!
tomasacat ...and this too shall go unpunished.
RadicalMirth Indict them and then indict them and their corrupt propaganda filled comrades in the Trump White House. There is no longer a Republican Party just a Trump party WE BETTER BE CONCERNED ENOUGH TO GET TRUMP OUT BEFORE THERE IS NO DEMOCRACY
rural_mtn_life And we’re still debating whether or not impeachment is the appropriate course of action...
Alt_FedEmployee tRump the danger to the US not the Southern border nor immigrants.
It’s Intentional... when will the Media start calling it what is... total corruption and padding their personal businesses
We know why. They all lied about the meetings. Greedy and crooked. They'll do anything for money, even sell out our country. How pathetic. IMPEACH TRUMP & lock up Kushner
Lock her up! Lock her up!
Not only did they break the law we are directly into harms way with their authoritarianism in everything that they do is secretive manipulative criminal cover up there is a special place for the Trump crime family” The Lord knows what they do”
Then arrest them if you don’t, they will continue because they believe they are above the law
WasARepublican1 Why would they start obeying the law now?
Shocking. Maybe get ' The Comfy Chair, Coffee and Sandwiches ' ready to ' invite ' them to obey the Law?
Nothing is going to happen, everyone knows that!!
No surprise here.
I wonder that they have any time left over from their dirty deeds to do any work at all for which they were hired.
tedlieu you broke the law by getting elected by illegal immigrants
Another reason to impeach.
How Kushner is not facing charges yet is a joke
In the words of Yoda, 'shocked I am not.'
HillBeverlyhill Gee. Such a dearth of impeachable offenses. Can’t Trump just do one thing wrong!! Just one!!!
Janettesecond What the bleeping difference is it going to make? Is it going to get Trump out of office? Of course not.
maybe they did not want a record of what they talked about. it could have been their mutual need of money or selling them arms or money.
Like they care. These are lawless times.
CherKalleck Ha!Ha!Ha!...'May be'?LOL!!!!
Shall we hire another special counsel to conclude that Kushner & Trump are also too stupid to have to obey the law (even after being told what's what)?
Laws are for the poor and Democrats now, haven't you heard?
The whole world is laughing at American DemonCrazy
both of them are best, well, at insider trading. Mafia!
CindyMundell That's it?
HillaryClinton broke the law and the liberal liars didn’t care! hypocrite
Chalk up another one. Doesn’t matter if they aren’t held accountable.
Messick62 What happens when your “senior advisors” have 0 experience: LaraLeaTrump kimguilfoyle IvankaTrump Kushner AND YOU DONT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE THE ONES THAT DO... Embarrassing
The only time they don't break the law is when they are sleeping and then that's questionable.
Kushner is simply a huge pile of crap. He was a f/u in his personal business what makes him think he can conduct our business. Squeaky voice Jared needs to pack up for his stint in jail not for another trip to the middle east. AMJoy maddow inners
And the repugnuts will allow it because they aren’t Dems or black!!!
campbellsl Jared Kushner has already compromised American interest, just ask MBS and MBZ, Why do you think MBS is going around bragging that he has Jared in his pocket? Jared Kushner is as much a traitor to America as is his father-in-law, Donald Trump.
This was done on purpose. So, now what Maybe it is difficult to put Donald I prison, but what about Jared. What about Jared? What about Jared? What about Jared? Did I say, what about Jared
Of course they did. It was clear at the time, but they got away with it: now it's precedence. They're surrounded by people asleep at the wheel. Who's going to fix it NOW? TrumpCorruption
So when will they pay a price for these crimes? These people act like they are above the law. They install people like the Barr that cover for them. They should not be in power but because of cover by the Republicans, we have a lawless government. VOTE THEM OUT
Really wow, than obama broke the same law
DevinCow What does it matter what laws they break, nobody does anything.Honestly It's the judges, lawyers, dems, FBI, media, watch groups who are actually making everybody sick. They just let them get away with it. Put a damn stop to it! Or shut up already. Tired of hearing them complain
Suzyqfit4u Doesn’t matter. Nothing will be done about it.
Treason!
IMAbusymom04 and? what will happen? NOTHINg.
Encrypted texts, WhatsUp, undocumented meetings, burner phones have been the secret ways this administration communicates...who knows what top secrets they have given away...the nuclear technology to Saudis is a good start.
They get away with conspiring with adversaries because of encrypted messages, Whatsup, burner phones, back door channels, and undocumented meetings. This is criminal and keeps the entire nation in the dark, including Congress...emboldens illegal activity.
DevinCow Not surprised, as they keep deliberately destroying any and all paperwork on they're meetings, when they are supposed to keep them for the offical records act.
JennySmithNY The Transparent President and the Son in Law who should not have a Security Clearance!
Again; Can someone please alert the Federal Marshals to get over to the White House and make their arrests! I mean how hard is it to get this done!
And I bet they are immune to prosecution. God help America. We need Jesus more than ever today.
WHAT ABOUT THE MEETINGS WITH TRUMP AND PUTIN HE DIDNT ALLOW ANY AMERICAN IN..AND BLOCKED THE PERSON RECORDING YTHM TO SHOW OR TALK ABOUT IT?
But yet again, those could put an end to this, will key it slide, based on a scared and tortuous justification of their cowardice. HouseDemocrats
I noticed you did not mention the names of past presidents that had been sued and the outcome.
Really then make sure you arrest Bush, Clintons and Obama. They did the same. Come to think of it, every so called lawmaker has made shady deals during their term. Arrest them too.
48Gailschwerdt But the Republicans gop won't do anything
Of course they broke the law. Both with no government experience and an unwillingness to listen to those who knew how government work
Exhausting watching americans telling the rest of the world on a daily basis how they have no jurisprudence whatsoever, and a president who is basically a character from the wild west....we know already, we get it.
They didn't keep records BECAUSE they broke the law...
JUST KEEP THAT .. FAT CARROT DANGLING DOTARDS 🐺🐺 TILL YOU GET .. THE ISRAELIS WISH 🚀🚀🚀 U.S. WAR WITH IRAN 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Are these people ever going to get in ANY trouble for any of this? I mean Multiple Hatch act violations no records of of meetings with foreigners it goes on and on yet there seems to be no consequences
Headlines that matter.
Despicable, dangerous, men.
DevinCow They know that. If they’d kept records it would be hard evidence of bigger crimes. This is by design. Are you still struggling to recognise treason?
How many laws they broken and none of gop care
AllResistNews With absolutely no consequences.
DevinCow - Nonsense. -
DevinCow SHOCKING......ok...no, not shocking at all.
DevinCow That’s fine. History will write one hell of a story on this stain on America. At this rate, this will just be a footnote.
DevinCow And the band plays on.
If Stormy can’t bring him down, this one is just another water off the duck’s back.
So what else is new? They are always breaking the law 😠
Gee that a real shocker 🙄
Spireship ...and the repercussions will be?
DevinCow They don't care about law.. They'll just do whatever they want and get away with it..
DevinCow ...and nothing will happen to them, and there will be no consequences, and they will go on to break another law tomorrow, and the next day, and continue to do so with the same end results.
DevinCow So when don't they break the law? Laws are for losers.
varda_friedman SenatorCollins MittRomney marcorubio lisamurkowski ChuckGrassley y’all okay with this right?
Spireship They have ALSO criminally violated U.S. Code Title 5!!!!!!!!!!
DevinCow Breaking the law is a daily occurence it seems. Yet, people scoff it off. This is strange to me.
I’m so sick and tired of these bastards flaunting the laws. They know nothing is going to happen to them because Trump controls the Justice Dept.
Jared should be indicted then.
INTENTIONAL =the keyword
Deutschland4408
They are banking that no one will do anything about it
Just add it to the list for these corrupt pricks
theriponshadow Yet, nothing happens to them. Tired of this crap!
BallsDeepState C’mon!...It was just boy talk.
DevinCow How the fuck immoral conservatives justify this? My imagination fails.
JJaazzee1 Toss it on the pile
DevinCow Stop complaining and start acting. The rest of the world can see how y'all are too lazy to act and we are not amused.
Ya think . . .
Yeah. So? What repercussions will there be?
If only there were a body that would punish them for breaking the law.
Was intentional
Top_Sergeant Lock ‘em up!🤯🦅⚖️🗽
Why do these people keep getting away with this?
Alt_FedEmployee So when will any body be able to put a stop to the violation of laws, rules, regulations, unethical and immortal behavior? Resist ImpeachTrump BlueWave2020
Jr and/or Trump?
Another travesty. When does this end?
Why aren’t they being arrested than
DevinCow A president who owes billions of dollars, gave security clearances to his family without approval so they can make deals with the Saudis off the table
And they made a lot of do re mi ... which is really the whole point!
Top_Sergeant Add it to the long list of articles of impeachment
DerangedDonald and his minions believe they are above the law! This is treason! !
They have broken laws. Brazen about it. Continue to flout rules & regulations. Taunt the legislative and judicial branches. And nothing I mean nothing has been done against them. US democratic concept of checks and balances are made a mockery by the Orange one & family!
Yes. Always keep good notes whilst meeting with murdering despots.
DevinCow Laws shmaws. He does whatever he wants and with a craven senate, he does whatever he wants with zero consequence.
DevinCow Add this to the very long list
Not a surprise. Come on folks Trump means everything negative.
DevinCow lockthemup
DevinCow They don’t care. What’s anyone going to do about it?🇺🇸
DevinCow Add it to his....whatever crime tab? At this rate he'll be dead of old age and cheeseburgers before the dems get him to face the music
And there will be no consequences. The end.
They didn't just break the law by not keeping records of those meetings. Who knows what was said. Anything potentially illegal or self-serving? So much for democratic accountability.
The Presidents letters, writings and speeches are now part of America history, and that’s just the part they kept!
But when the country's AG breaks the law, who will enforce the law? Everyday as this corruptable shit show continues our democracy becomes weaker...
DevinCow It will be news when a day goes by and the Trump crime family doesn’t violate a law
Lucky for them laws don't matter anymore!
DevinCow Ah, there aren't any consequences, so why bother pointing it out.
If they broke the law, shouldn’t they be charged?
They don’t care
DevinCow It really doesn’t matter anymore but thanks Newsweek
ImpeachDonaldTrump TrumpIsAFraud TrumpisaRussianAsset
DevinCow Not that anyone in this administration cares about the s 'laws or whatever...
File charges NOW!
DevinCow No shit?
Thank you for reporting the truth.
They needed to review their real estate loans with them in private.
Why do we even have laws if these people can do whatever they want and nothing happens to them
No records things just disappears like emails lol 😂
DevinCow Trump gave Jared role of Middle East Peace advisor for the sole purpose of justifying a security clearance. Trump overruled career intelligence officials who denied Kushner clearance for nat'l security concerns. Trump gave Jared a clearance for sole purpose of selling secrets
What about Israel?
Ya don't say. What else is new 🙄
HeadlineZooo This is like trump's secret server, let's start a trend about Donaldsnotes
And they could care less. Such corruption, so unbelievable!
Okay, but Democrats have joined the Republicans in declaring through actions, if not words, that the law doesn't apply to Trump and his cronies.
What? You don't say? 🤣🤣🤣
Arrest them
DevinCow Duh. If you are paranoid about notes taken by your translator.. he envies Kim for his version of an NDA.. a final one..
DevinCow He doesn’t use email either. He may be a dumb businessman but he’s a smart criminal. realDonaldTrump DerangedDonald BillionDollarLoser
Alt_FedEmployee A better question might be when have they followed the law? Shaky patriotism and respect for the rule of law displayed by this dodgy family. Greed drives them at the expense of country and constitution. The corruptGOP fully ok with it. ReexamineAmericanValues
Alt_FedEmployee They didn’t keep records because they dont want anyone to know what was discussed. And when aren’t they breaking the law. TrumpCrimeFamilyHasGotToGo
Great. More broken laws. What can anyone do about it?
They're keeping them in HRC's old computer!!!
Then arrest them
Yet nothing will be done.
The crime docket keeps growing
DevinCow And...... Is anyone is going to do anything about this?
Lock them up!
DevinCow More laws broken, more nothing being done. As a mother, I’ve learned, to effectively discipline, or show them they did wrong is not to threaten to punish but to actually punish. I told my kids, keep misbehaving and we leave now, we left. Lesson learned.
CarriWeatherwax On the contrary, there are records of the meetings Trump had with Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un and members of the Saudi royal court. Just ask Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un and members of the Saudi royal court.
Don’t talk about it....prosecute....oh wait, they actually didn’t break the law or someone would.
DevinCow Add it to the list, another impeachable offense?
DevinCow This is only news if there are actual repercussions with the repeated lawlessness that is pervasive in The White House.
DevinCow But will anyone do anything about it or kellyanne campaigning on White House grounds?
DevinCow So what happens when the people charged with enforcing the law have no qualms with breaking the law? 🧐
DevinCow Let's save time and make a list of laws they DIDN'T break.
Whatta ya gonna do...? Remember... You can't arrest a sittin' fuckin' president.... Or his son-in-law... Dammitt..!
And? They live to break the law again tomorrow.
What else is new! Hold them them accountable!
JAIL!!!!
DevinCow Isn’t it obvious that the laws of this country no longer matter? That they don’t apply to Trump because the GOP has decided to value power over everything else? The Mueller report has 12 instances of compelling evidence of Obstruction of Justice yet nothing has happened.
DevinCow Yawn...then do something, subpoena, indictments...you don't want people to get exhausted the DoSomething
DevinCow Easier to lie. Not keeping records shows intent. They both belong in jail for being Captain Obvious and sidekick, Feeble Boy.
DevinCow What a F**king SURPRISE!
No duh.
DevinCow
DevinCow Really... they are breaking laws ? No
And Hillary broke way more laws but yet yall Let her roam free
Hello! Anybody paying attention!
DevinCow Lock them up
Can we move on already?!? The American people are sick of this!!!
DevinCow
Well, duh 🙄. As soon as they nixed both keeping & allowing access to detailed WhiteHouse visitor logs we knew this administration was going to be...let’s say ‘opaque’ at best.
DevinCow Who cares? Not like anything ever happens to them. But holy fuck don’t make a choice about your fucking body or your going down.
DevinCow So what else is new?
DevinCow It doesn’t matter does it?
DevinCow SO CONGRESS, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!
DevinCow I can only imagine what they said in private because we all heard them Make excuses for the Saudi prince who murdered the WP journalist in public
DevinCow Impeach.
DevinCow And? Who is holding them accountable?
DevinCow ...and no one seems to care.
Just another Banana Republic move and nothing will be done. It's gobsmacking the stunts they are getting away with. No accountability whatsoever...
I know that and I’m new to being a NARA certifies records manager. Who is advising him? No, really, who? Because they don’t know the basics of government record keeping.
I will bet every single one of those meetings between realDonaldTrump & his Saudi/NK/Russian Sugar Daddies were about Trump business. TrumpTowerPyongyang TrumpTowerMoscow
DevinCow JAIL THEM BOTH AT GITMO
DevinCow Because they are fluking crooks
Yea they confiscated the notes from the translator. God only knows what Trump told them. He puts our country in danger every time he opens his mouth!
Amateur Morons. The whole goddam Trump administration.
JimLaPorta Wait we still have laws
DevinCow None of that matters if there are no consequences
I detest them, but I'm weary of headlines like this when they taunt + gloat as they break the law with, 'Who's gonna stop us?' They face no consequences.
DevinCow If any of us behaved like these guys, we would be fired so fast.
DevinCow They’ve broken so many laws, big and small, that it hardly registers anymore. And that’s how they like it. But lack of integrity from the top eventually topples organizations, or countries.
They break the law at least daily. When are SpeakerPelosi and the House going to finally take action and stop talking?
DevinCow I said that from minute one when he came home from Helsinki there's a presidential records act where you have to keep track of everything that was discussed why hasn't anyone subpoenaed The Interpreter?
DevinCow Saudis, Putin, Kim: We’ll wipe out your families debts of you lift some sanctions. 🍄, Kushner: Where do we (not) sign.
cagney1991 And what will happen Nothing at all, thats where we are.
DevinCow I don’t think they care what the law is.
This will continue, unless the we vote their ends out.
DevinCow They don’t want people to know their getting rich!!!
DevinCow The most transparent president ever
He MAY have compromised American interests? The fact that it is not known is a crime in and of itself. AND NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT.
DevinCow
If you are talking about breaking the law … realDonaldTrump and his pretty boy son in law have done much worse things. Its just tip of the iceberg, but then don't blame … blame the 27% who willfully give these thugs a free pass. spineless GOP
Do Republicans believe the Trumps are Above The Law? Someone should go ask EVERY ONE OF THEM ON CAMERA! IThey would make Great Campaign Commercials for ALL theur opponents!
DevinCow So the FBI is going to arrest them, right Didn’t think so.
DevinCow “Jared Kushner and Donald Trump broke the law” PinnedTweet
Is this the straw?
DevinCow There aren’t enough characters allowed on Twitter to address all the times realDonaldTrump & his family/administration broke the law. Even 280,000 characters wouldn’t be enough no less 280.
And What will be done about it?
DevinCow Trump ruins EVERYTHING!
DevinCow So what else is new?
Kushner just seems like he would try to be all sneaky and shifty...
DevinCow They would've impeached Barak Obama for this. And a 1000 other things obviously.
DevinCow Guess that transparency window is frosted
DevinCow Didn’t omarosa catch Trump eating a note at one point?
DevinCow We all damn well know ain’t nothing going to happen to them. This is their theme song...
I thought the FakeNews Newsweek already left bankrupt This rag is only good for bottom of cage
DevinCow Well, it’s not like Kushner was bailed out by the Saudis, Trump then looked the other way when they killed a WaPo journalist, and Trump still supports their bombing Yemen. Oh wait, yes it is.
DevinCow Another day, another illegal action by the First Crime Family.
DevinCow If only there were consequences for breaking laws. Oh! Wait! There are - for some of us. For others we - keep a list....
what is topic of plan
DevinCow And they don't care, and no one will do anything about it.
DevinCow realDonaldTrump jaredkushner lock them up
DevinCow If I had a nickle for every time I read this - Jared Kushner and Donald Trump broke the law...
DevinCow I really need a 'I'm pretty sure my brain is fried by somehow, again, being surprised by someone I thought could no longer surprise me' emoji
DevinCow
DevinCow That's how they roll.
DevinCow
DevinCow They do not care
DevinCow Too bad nothing will happen to them. The Trump Administration has laid bare just how fragile our Democracy really is. With a corrupt and complicit Senate as a shield they are essentially untouchable.
DevinCow If only this was a law at the schools they flunked through....
DevinCow Are we supposed to be surprised by this news?
DevinCow These two break laws as often as devincow breaks wind
DevinCow Not surprised. But what are we doing to rectify?
DevinCow Like they care...
DevinCow And will they be held accountable? Of course not.
Not in el presidenté's world....
Duh. Who is doing anything about that? We should be outraged! VoteThemOut
Jared
Who cares
Keep Trying
