About eighty scandals ago, in February of 2019, President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer and "fixer" Michael Cohen had turned on Trump and testified before the House Oversight Committee to all of the President's crimes, including tax fraud, insurance fraud, campaign finance violations, discrimination, and more.

Cohen laid bare the President's corruption and told the Oversight committee who they could call in to corroborate his story under oath. That didn't happen.


Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison for using campaign funds to pay off an adult film star to keep quiet about her affair with Trump.

It seems like Cohen's been using his time productively though, and he's not done speaking out—much to the chagrin of his former boss.

It was reported that on Thursday, Cohen received a letter from Trump's personal attorney Charles Harder warning him to stop work on a rumored tell-all book about his time working for Trump. Harder asserted in the letter that Cohen's non-disclosure agreement prohibited him from disclosing certain information about the President and those in his sphere.

But the story doesn't end there.

In the face of the pandemic that's upended daily life in the United States, the Bureau of Prisons began allowing certain nonviolent offenders to serve the rest of their sentences in home confinement, in order to reduce the spread of the virus.

Subsequently, Cohen spent two weeks in quarantine and was due to return home on May 1, but that didn't happen. As his release date drew closer, news broke that Cohen wasn't coming home on May 1.

After original confusion that Cohen's release had been rescinded all together, it has now been postponed to the end of the month.

At the first White House Press Briefing in over a year, Trump's latest press secretary Kayleigh McEnany insisted that the President played no part in any change to Cohen's early release plans.

But considering she lied at least three times in that briefing, people aren't buying it.



According to a report from the Daily Beast earlier this week, the President was livid at the news of Cohen's early release and the possibility of a book.

People think Trump's hands are all over this.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
