I am Dutch and live in The Netherlands so could someone explain the following as I am not familiar with US laws? I heard (but only heard) that in the US (as in Holland) it is illegal to fire employees who testified under oath in court, even if they testified against their employer. Is that true?
TOTALLY INACCURATE!! She HASN’T held a single press conference! She has had MORE arrests for D.U.I. then press Conferences!!
On January 9, 2013, Grisham was pulled over for speeding in Gilbert, Maricopa County, Arizona. The officer observed Grisham’s signs of intoxication and she failed a field sobriety test. Grisham denied consuming any alcohol, but said she had taken a Xanax 90 minutes earlier and a Zoloft the prior night. A blood test revealed Grisham’s blood alcohol content to be .105 percent, well above .08 legal limit in Arizona. She also was found to be driving on a suspended license since August 2012 for failure to answer a traffic citation. In August 2014, Grisham accepted a plea bargain agreement that reduced the charge to misdemeanor reckless driving, plus two years of probation. She returned to court twice for failure to pay the $779 in fines, and failure to complete a Mothers Against Drunk Driving program.
Shortly after midnight, December 5, 2015, Grisham was arrested again in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona, for driving without her headlights and suspicion of driving under the influence; thus violating her probation. Grisham failed to appear at her court hearing on January 19, 2016, whereupon the judge issued a warrant for her arrest. Grisham pleaded guilty, and in July 2016 was ordered into a treatment program and to pay nearly $1,600 in court costs and fines
On Wednesday night, when President Donald Trump addressed supporters from behind a Trump Hotels lectern in a room at his Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C., one of his company’s most faithful customers accompanied him.
The U.S. Secret Service.
The government agency charged with protecting the president has paid his businesses at least $471,000 to fulfill its congressional mandate, according to documents The Washington Post recently obtained via the Freedom of Information Act.
That’s money from U.S. taxpayers flowing to the Trump Organization, with a venerable 155-year-old law enforcement organization being used like one of Michael Cohen’s Delaware shell companies and serving as a conduit for presidential profit. And that $471,000 figure? It’s only through April 2018.
In an interview with Yahoo Finance in October, Trump Organization Executive Vice President Eric Trump claimed his company charged the government only enough to recoup its costs when hosting the president. (Eric Trump also denied the new Washington Post reporting.)
But the rates the new documents detail — $650 per room at Mar-a-Lago!
$17,000 to rent a cottage for a month at Trump Bedminster! payments to the D.C. hotel despite Trump’s never having spent a night there as president! — seem a bit higher than what it costs to clean a room and freshen the linens.
