  • Trump Business Empire Faces Challenges As 2016 Race Nears End
    Trump business empire faces challenges as 2016 race nears end foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/27/trump-business-empire-faces-challenges-as-2016-race-nears-end.html By Barnini Chakraborty Published October 27, 2016 FoxNews.com Donald Trump built his presidential campaign on his reputation as a businessman -- but no matter what happens on Election Day, that business will face a complicated picture as it looks to build a brand that is far more controversial than it was before the 2016 race. Already, Trump’s hotels, including his newest property in Washington, D.C., are facing challenges. Low occupancy rates at the Trump International Hotel in the nation’s capital forced the company earlier this month to cut prices 50 percent on its own website. The hotel, which had a soft opening last month, held its official ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday. Meanwhile, the latest line of properties, Scion, has dropped the Trump name. Trump's detractors have openly rooted for the Republican nominee's campaign controversies to tank his business empire. Following the infamous leaked tape of Trump talking about groping women, entrepreneur and Hillary Clinton supporter Mark Cuban tweeted: “Every single @realDonaldTrump hotel and golf course is toast. Done. Over. Bernie Madoff now has a better brand.” But some analysts suggest that while Trump's properties may be taking a short-term hit, they'll recover. Branding expert Jim Cusson, president of Theory House told FoxNews.com he believes Trump’s brand will bounce back.

    Class details American Public Opinion and Pressure Groups (POL-UA 9342001) Fall 2017, Tuesdays, 2-5p Location to be confirmed. SCHEDULING NOTE: In addition to the regular Tuesday classes, we are also holding time for a make-up lecture, should it be required due to scheduling changes, on Friday, November 3rd from 2-5p. Instructor Steve McMahon Details [email protected] or [email protected] 703-626-9943 c Office hours by appointment. Tuesdays prior to class are generally the best time to meet, although other times may be arranged. Please call my cell to schedule. Prerequisites N/A Class This class will examine the origins of public opinion research, as well as the impact it has on Description news coverage, political campaigns, public discourse, elected officials, and in many cases, public policy outcomes. You will learn how to read, analyze, and critically-evaluate public opinion research; you will learn about “leading” and “trailing” research indicators; and you will understand why “character” attributes often matter more than “performance” attributes and issue positions. You will see how political campaigns, lobbyists, public relations professionals and others leverage public opinion to impact perceptions, as well as political, policy and business outcomes. Because this course is being taught in the nation’s capital, where politics and policy converge, we will be able to hear from political professionals from both political parties, congressional staffers, journalists, and others who will share their insights about how they apply public opinion research to conduct campaigns, shape policy, report the news, or address business challenges. There is an existing and established core reading list for this course, which we will use as the foundational reading for the course.

This lawsuit seeks to compel the Federal Election Commission (“FEC”) to take action on an administrative complaint the Committee to Defend the President (“CDP”) filed with the FEC four months ago disclosing the existence of an unprecedented nationwide scheme to violate federal campaign finance law in which $84 million was effectively laundered over more than a year by the Hillary Victory Fund (“HVF”) through dozens of state political party committees to the Democratic National Committee (“DNC”) and, ultimately, to Hillary for America (“HFA”). 2. The 2016 Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton; Hillary Victory Fund, Clinton’s joint fundraising committee; Hillary for America, Clinton’s campaign committee; the DNC; and dozens of Democratic state parties across the country entered 1 Case 1:18-cv-00888-RDM Document 1 Filed 04/16/18 Page 2 of 20 into the exact type of arrangement the Supreme Court declared in McCutcheon v. FEC would so flagrantly violate campaign finance law that it was “unlikely” to occur. The Court was unable to anticipate the extent and sheer audacity with which Democrats would conspire to circumvent, evade, and effectively nullify candidate contribution limits.

  • March 27, 2020 the Honorable Pat Cipollone White House Counsel
    March 27, 2020 The Honorable Pat Cipollone White House Counsel 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Cipollone: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (“CREW”) respectfully requests that you take all necessary steps to ensure that a “shadow task force” reportedly being used by Senior White House Advisor Jared Kushner to deal with the economic and health consequences of the coronavirus pandemic complies fully with all laws, including the Presidential Records Act (“PRA”) and the Federal Advisory Committee Act (“FACA”). Mr. Kushner’s shadow task force appears to be violating key aspects of the PRA, and his use of it implicates the FACA’s public transparency provisions. The extraordinary measures needed to combat the coronavirus pandemic make these transparency and accountability requirements even more important. According to recent press reports, Mr. Kushner has assembled a team of allies within the government and with representatives from private industries to work with the administration’s official coronavirus task force.1 Other officials involved in the administration’s response to the coronavirus have called this team a “shadow task force” that issues requests “they interpret as orders they must balance with regular response efforts.”2 Of particular concern, these outside advisers do not appear to be following proper governmental protocols. For example, they are using private email addresses to email large groups of government employees, creating security concerns and sowing further confusion.3 The PRA imposes on the President and his staff, including Mr. Kushner, the mandatory obligation to document, preserve, and maintain as presidential records “the activities, deliberations, decisions, and policies that reflect the performance of the President’s constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties[.]”44 U.S.C.
