Dworkin Report - Roundup: Great News That's Bad For Trump
Eight wins. Seven days. Here we go.
1. The Senate’s referee killed a billion-dollar ballroom heist. Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled that Republicans broke Senate rules when they tried to slip $1 billion into a Secret Service bill—including $220 million for Trump’s “free” ballroom. Trump phoned Majority Leader Thune and demanded she be fired. She still has her job. Trump lost his billion.
2. Two Jan 6 officers turned Trump into a defendant again. Jan 6 heroes Daniel Hodges and Harry Dunn sued this week to dissolve Trump’s $1.776 billion slush fund—the taxpayer-funded pot of money built to pay off the rioters who attacked them. Their lead lawyer is Brendan Ballou, the Jan 6 prosecutor who quit the DOJ over Trump’s pardons of the insurrectionists. The men who held the line in 2021 are still making Trump answer for it.
3. Trump’s secret tax shield collapsed before lunch. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche quietly posted a memo claiming the IRS could never again investigate Trump or his businesses for tax fraud. Sen. Ron Wyden caught it within hours and called it “completely invalid.” Even Blanche’s allies admitted he had no authority to sign it. They tried to do it in the dark—the light got there first.
