quote:

An expected expansion of the Trump administration�s laptop ban to include flights from Europe is causing heartburn among the travel industry and some European officials, who fear a logistical nightmare for millions of trans-Atlantic passengers just ahead of the summer vacation season.

Briefings Thursday for U.S. senators and the major domestic airlines ended with no announcements from the Department of Homeland Security about changes to the restrictions, which already prohibit passengers from carrying laptops, tablets and e-readers into the cabins of planes flying to the U.S. from 10 Middle Eastern airports. But European airline officials are �preparing behind the scenes� for DHS to announce that it�s expanding the ban to at least some airports there, an official from the trade group Airlines for Europe told POLITICO.

US President Donald Trump thinks the F-35 fighter is "pretty cool," but he seems to be a bit confused over what the newest US warplanes have been up to in Japan.

In a White House interview with Time magazine published Thursday, Trump said almost three dozen of the stealth jets flew over Japan undetected during a visit to Tokyo by US Defense Secretary James Mattis in February.
"They had 35 of them fly over Japan ... and they were not detected by the radar. They flew over and everyone said where the hell did they come from? That's stealth. It's pretty cool, right," Time quotes Trump as saying in the interview.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/former-trump-adviser-paul-manaforts-bank-records-sought-in-probe-1494637248?tesla=y&mod=e2fb

quote:

The Justice Department last month requested banking records of Paul Manafort as part of a widening of probes related to President Donald Trump�s former campaign associates and whether they colluded with Russia in interfering with the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the matter.

In mid-April, federal investigators requested Mr. Manafort�s banking records from Citizens Financial Group Inc., the people said.

It isn�t clear whether Citizens is the only bank that received such a request or whether it came in the form of a subpoena. Federal law generally requires that a bank receive a subpoena to turn over customer records, lawyers not connected to the investigation said.

Citizens gave Mr. Manafort a $2.7 million loan last year to refinance debt on a Manhattan condominium and borrow additional cash, New York City real-estate records show. The Wall Street Journal couldn�t ascertain if the Justice Department request is related to that transaction or whether the bank has turned over Mr. Manafort�s records.

Separately, investigators for New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman as well as Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. also have been examining real-estate transactions by Mr. Manafort, who has spent and borrowed tens of millions of dollars in connection with property across the U.S. over the past decade, people familiar with the matter say. The request for Mr. Manafort�s banking records and the New York inquiries haven�t previously been reported.

Mr. Manafort hasn�t been accused of wrongdoing and has said any suggestion that he coordinated with Russia is unfounded.

Mr. Manafort�s spokesman, Jason Maloni, said: �I don�t know anything about a subpoena. But if someone is leaking details of a confidential investigation, that is a serious crime.�

The inquiries indicate how the examination of Mr. Trump�s campaign officials may be heating up.

None of the aides have been charged with any crime. All have denied any wrongdoing. Mr. Trump and his staff have dismissed allegations of Russian collusion and Russia has denied meddling in the election.

Mr. Manafort, a longtime political consultant for Republicans in the U.S. and for politicians overseas, has offered to cooperate with and testify before congressional committees investigating potential Russian influence in the election, Mr. Maloni said.

Anticorruption officials in Ukraine, working with the FBI, are investigating a ledger found in Ukraine, where Mr. Manafort long worked as a consultant for a pro-Russia political party. The ledger lists $12.7 million in purported cash payments from that party to Mr. Manafort or affiliated entities, according to Ukrainian officials and a person familiar with the matter. Ukrainian officials have said they have no evidence Mr. Manafort actually received the money, and Mr. Manafort previously has questioned the document�s authenticity.

In late March, the Journal reported that Mr. Manafort had borrowed $16 million from a bank run by a former Trump campaign adviser after the election to salvage troubled investments, according to real-estate and court records. Steve Calk, who runs the Federal Savings Bank, a small bank in Chicago, declined to comment on whether his bank had been contacted by federal investigators.

The Journal also reported that since the mid-2000s, around the time Mr. Manafort started working as a political adviser to wealthy pro-Russia politicians in the Ukrainian Party of Regions, he and immediate family members bought at least six properties in New York, Florida and Virginia for more than $16 million, property records show.

Also in late March, WNYC public radio station reported on Mr. Manafort�s use of corporate entities to purchase multimillion-dollar properties without mortgages, some of which he later took loans against. NBC News reported around the same time that a Cyprus bank had investigated accounts associated with Mr. Manafort for possible money laundering, and that he had closed them after questions were raised.

Mr. Manafort, through a spokesman, has said the loans from the former campaign adviser were straightforward and proper. He has said all his real-estate transactions were transparent, including those in which purchases were made through corporate entities that were clearly connected to him. He has said the Cyprus accounts were related to legitimate work there for clients and the accounts were closed due to instability in the banking system. He hasn�t been accused of wrongdoing in connection with any of these matters.

In New York, investigators for the Manhattan district attorney�s office and the state attorney general�s office have begun reviewing public records relating to Mr. Manafort�s real-estate and financial transactions, according to people familiar with the matter. The examinations are at a very early stage, they say.

Mr. Schneiderman�s office will likely focus on whether any transactions were used for money-laundering and Mr. Vance�s office is likely to focus on whether there are any indications of fraud, people familiar with the matter said. Messrs. Schneiderman and Vance are both Democrats.

its a lot different to write than colbert tbh

he did a really good interview with Stern after the first season, which is cool since he's a nerd for background production stuff. most of the budget for the show went to the researchers they hired and all the mascot costumes they make. they have a $hbo budget for the show, but research takes a shitload of it.

im still shocked that colbert grabbed brian stack from conan
