Frank Cerabino on the Conviction of the Mar-A-Lago Trespasser and the Visitors Who Are the Real Threats to National Security 10/15/2019 Cerabino: It’s not the intruders at Mar-a-Lago that we need to worry about - News - The Palm Beach Post - West Palm Beach, FL Cerabino: It’s not the intruders at Mar-a-Lago that we need to worry about By Frank Cerabino Posted Sep 12, 2019 at 4:35 PM Frank Cerabino on the conviction of the Mar-a-Lago trespasser and the visitors who are the real threats to national security The real problem at Mar-a-Lago isn’t the people sneaking in. It’s about the people invited in. There has been some very high-profile news about the intruders at President Donald Trump’s private Palm Beach club. There’s Yujing Zhang, the 33-year-old Chinese woman who successfully got past the Secret Service detail to briefly get on the grounds of Mar-a-Lago during a weekend when President Trump was there. We still don’t know whether Zhang was a government agent on a spying mission or just an enterprising young woman hoping for a photo op with the American president to boost her business prospects in Shanghai. Zhang showed up in an evening gown one night last March masquerading as an invited guest looking to use the pool. It was the club’s receptionist, not the Secret Service, who found her acting “strange” and called for help. A federal jury convicted her this week of lying to a federal agent to gain access to a restricted building. And she wasn’t the only intruder to get into Mar-a-Lago despite its security. During the last Thanksgiving Day weekend, Mark Lindblom, an 18-year-old college freshman from the University of Wisconsin, while visiting grandparents nearby, walked into Mar-a-Lago from the beach entrance. Lindblom got past a https://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/20190912/cerabino-itrsquos-not-intruders-at-mar-a-lago-that-we-need-to-worry-about 1/3 10/15/2019 Cerabino: It’s not the intruders at Mar-a-Lago that we need to worry about - News - The Palm Beach Post - West Palm Beach, FL metal detector manned by Secret Service agents, and into the property, where he wandered for 20 minutes before being stopped and arrested. But it would be wrong to imagine that gate crashers like Zhang and Lindblom are the real national security risks at Mar-a-Lago. The country is potentially far more in danger from the people on Trump’s guest list. That’s because they are as mysterious as the intruders. The Trump administration has fought lawsuits and stonewalled public records requests aimed at revealing who the president meets with during the many trips to his Florida retreat. In response to a lawsuit filed by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, The National Security Archive, and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, a court filing by the Secret Service’s public information officer, Special Agent Kim Campbell, disclosed two years ago that a “search and review of records confirmed that there is no system for keeping track of Presidential visitors at Mar-a-Lago, as there is at the White House Complex.” And that hasn’t changed. The Trump administration has successfully fought efforts to comply with the Freedom of Information Act, arguing that any records of visitors at Mar-a-Lago are “presidential records” not subject to disclosure until five years after the president leaves office. Trump won a U.S. District Court ruling last year, and while that ruling has been appealed, the people who meet with the president at Mar-a-Lago remain a secret. And considering that Trump has failed to relinquish control of his businesses, has a history of partnering with shady foreign businessmen, and frequently mixes his personal business interests with his public duties, the people he meets at Mar-a-Lago may be far more alarming than the rare person who sneaks past the Secret Service. Take for example, Tom Barrack, the billionaire investor and longtime friend who chaired Trump’s inauguration. https://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/20190912/cerabino-itrsquos-not-intruders-at-mar-a-lago-that-we-need-to-worry-about 2/3 10/15/2019 Cerabino: It’s not the intruders at Mar-a-Lago that we need to worry about - News - The Palm Beach Post - West Palm Beach, FL Barrack was also Trump’s Middle East adviser during the campaign at the same time Barrack was working out a nuclear power deal with Saudi Arabia, according to documents revealed to a House oversight committee and reported by ProPublica. Barrack was putting together U.S. investors to join with both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to buy the struggling American company, Westinghouse. “At the same time, Barrack used his access to the White House to urge top officials to give Westinghouse permission to sell as many as 30 nuclear reactors to Saudi Arabia and the UAE,” ProPublica reported. Selling nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia is a hot-button issue with national security implications, considering that the kingdom has been angling to obtain nuclear weapons. None of that dealing may have gone on at Mar-a-Lago, or maybe a lot of it did. The point is we don’t know how many Saudi princes and American businessmen with stakes in the deal met with Trump at at Mar-a-Lago to push for a nuclear sale. That’s because Mar-a-Lago is literally a black box where foreign government functionaries, businessmen and others can come and go unknown to hold private meetings with the president. And the fact that the Trump organization has fought so hard to keep the American public from knowing who those guests are makes the arrangement all the more fishy. So, in terms of national security, don’t worry about that 33-year-old Chinese trespasser. Worry about the Mar-a-Lago visitors who are greeted with a handshake.

  • Make a Good Deal
    10938_Bergs_01.c.qxd 12/1/03 4:01 PM Page 1 CHAPTER 1 Make a Good Deal Finding the right location and lining up good lenders are some of the easier aspects to buying real estate. What’s tricky is negotiating a good deal. Patience is a virtue in the pursuit of getting what you want. But research, due diligence, planning, and flexibility are just as important. 1 10938_Bergs_01.c.qxd 12/1/03 4:01 PM Page 2 10938_Bergs_01.c.qxd 12/1/03 4:01 PM Page 3 hen it comes right down to it, the best advice for real estate Winvestors is to practice patience. Though there are many instances when it is necessary to act quickly, patience is a virtue even in situa- tions where time is of the essence. As one case in point, right after the dust cleared from Equity Office Properties’ initial public offering in 1997, the real estate investment trust’s chairman, Sam Zell, began planning a major expansion. Caught in his crosshairs was another real estate investment trust (REIT), Cornerstone Properties, which he wanted to own. Zell knew that although Cornerstone had managed to quickly grow its portfolio of properties, the New York–based REIT was smaller and would have trouble gaining access to the capital mar- kets. It took three years, but Zell finally snared his prey, buying the company for $4.6 billion. The key to this deal was persuading a Dutch pension fund, which owned about 30 percent of Cornerstone, to sell. Although Zell clearly coveted the company’s 15 million square feet of office space, much of which was located in the same cities where Equity Office Properties already had a presence, he took his time with the pension fund.

  • New Cohen Tape Surfaces a Bigger Trump Fish by Timothy L
    New Cohen Tape Surfaces a Bigger Trump Fish By Timothy L. O'Brien Bloomberg.com July 25, 2018 Allen Weisselberg knows far more than the president’s former lawyer. Michael Cohen is not the man who knows all of Trump’s secrets. Photographer: Drew Angerer/Getty Images About two months before Election Day in 2016, Donald Trump and his former lawyer (and self-described “fixer”) Michael Cohen were chatting about how to convince a former Playboy model, Karen McDougal, to keep quiet about what she described as a long-term affair with the presidential candidate. “We’ll have to pay,” Cohen said, according to a recording of the conversation that CNN obtained and broadcast Tuesday night. “Pay with cash,” Trump appears to respond. “No, no,” Cohen says. Earlier in the conversation Cohen suggested that he “open a company for the transfer of all of that info” to the National Enquirer and its parent company, American Media Inc. AMI’s chairman, David Pecker, is a friend of the president and he is also referred to on the tape. The Enquirer had already purchased McDougal’s account of her affair with Trump earlier in 2016 and then never published it. Trump and Cohen appear to be discussing a second payment to McDougal (and there is no indication that it was ever made). “I’ve spoken to Allen Weisselberg about how to set the whole thing up,” Cohen tells Trump. “So, I’m all over that. And, I spoke to Allen about it.” Weisselberg isn’t a bit player in Trumplandia and his emergence on the Cohen- Trump recording – as someone possibly facilitating a scheme apparently meant to disguise a payoff – should worry the president.

  • Letter to Eric Trump, Excutive Vice President of the Trump Organization
    May 7, 2020 Mr. Eric Trump Executive Vice President The Trump Organization 725 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10022 Dear Mr. Trump: The Emoluments Clauses of the United States Constitution are intended to promote the complete and undivided loyalty of the President to the American people.1 We are writing to request documents relating to requests by the Trump Organization—in which President Trump retains an ownership interest—for financial benefits from domestic and foreign government entities, including the United Kingdom, in the wake of the coronavirus crisis. As you know, Congress recently passed legislation prohibiting certain U.S. taxpayer funds from being used to benefit companies in which President Trump holds a stake, recognizing the obvious conflicts of interest inherent in such payments.2 On April 22, 2020, press reports indicated that after Congress took this step, the Trump Organization turned to foreign governments to seek financial assistance for the President’s companies.3 One day later, on April 23, 2020, you appeared to confirm these reports, stating that the President’s companies are now seeking financial assistance directly from the British government.4 The Trump Organization’s pursuit of funds from foreign governments follows a similar request by President Trump’s companies to the U.S. government.5 1 The Foreign Emoluments Clause—Article I, Section 9, clause 8 of the United States Constitution—bans the President and other high government officials from accepting any payment or benefit from a foreign state without the consent of Congress, while the Domestic Emoluments Clause—Article II, Section 1, Clause 7—bans the President from receiving any payments from federal or state governments in excess of his or her salary.

Next Event: Close of Discovery Date: March 9, 2021 58th PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURAL COMMITTEE, et al. Defendants. THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA’S OPPOSED COMBINED MOTION TO EXTEND DISCOVERY DEADLINES AND MOTION FOR LEAVE TO CONDUCT ADDITIONAL DEPOSITIONS Pursuant to SCR-Civil 16(b)(7), the District of Columbia (“District”), by its Office of the Attorney General, respectfully moves this Court to extend the District’s deadline to issue discovery requests by 30 days. Additionally, pursuant to SCR-Civil 30(a)(2)(A)(i), the District requests leave to take depositions of up to three additional witnesses. The extended discovery and excess depositions requested are for the limited purpose of allowing the District to obtain full fact discovery on the additional count addressed in the District’s First Amended Complaint. The amended complaint adds a second count against Defendants 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee (the “PIC”) and the Trump Organization LLC (“Trump Organization”) for violating the District’s statutory and common law when the PIC improperly paid almost $50,000 for hotel rooms reserved by the Trump Organization. Despite diligent efforts by the District to conduct discovery on facts related to this improper expenditure, the District has been met with repeated obstacles, including misleading testimony, a closed hotel, and new information revealed after the deadline for issuing discovery requests passed on February 8, 2021. This is the District’s first request for an extension of discovery.

Trump for President, Inc. and Bradley T. ) Crate in his official capacity as treasurer ) The Trump Organization LLC ) STATEMENT OF REASONS OF CHAIR SHANA M. BROUSSARD AND COMMISSIONER ELLEN L. WEINTRAUB This matter under review (“MUR”) involves yet another instance of Donald Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign receiving what may have been illegal contributions, this time in the form of high-ranking Trump Organization employees performing campaign activities that appear to have been undertaken at the direction of the candidate himself.1 Former Trump Organization Executive Vice President and Special Counsel Michael Cohen and General Counsel Alan Garten appear to have performed work on behalf of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. (the “Trump Committee,” “campaign”) – work that was paid for by the Trump Organization and thus likely constituted impermissible in-kind contributions. The ban on corporate contributions to federal candidates is one of the foundational principles underpinning the Federal Election Campaign Act (“FECA,” or the “Act”), having been firmly ensconced in federal law for well over a century.2 Though the Act includes provisions that permit individuals, including corporate employees, to provide personal volunteer services to campaigns without making a corporate contribution, if the individual is being compensated for his or her services the activity is no longer
