Jordan is demanding that Willis supply office documents following claims that the district attorney fired a whistleblower, NBC News reports. That whistleblower allegedly attempted to stop the misuse of federal funds by a top campaign aide. The subpoena is part of a larger probe by Jordan and House GOP members seeking to determine whether federal funds were used for her over two-year investigation into Trump.

According to Jordan, Willis has ignored two requests for the documents “referring or relating to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office’s receipt and use of federal funds.”. Instead of using these federal grant funds for the intended purpose of helping at-risk youths, your office sought to use the grant funds to ‘get Macbooks ... swag ... [and] use it for travel, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, via NBC News. Moreover, the whistleblower’s direct supervisor stated that these planned expenditures ‘were part of [your] vision.’, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, via NBC News. These allegations raise serious concerns about whether you were appropriately supervising the expenditure of federal grant funding allocated to your office and whether you took actions to conceal your office’s unlawful use of federal funds, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, via NBC News. Last year, Willis' office wrote Jordan a letter, saying there is “no justification in the Constitution for Congress to interfere with a state criminal matter.”. Any examination of the records of our grant programs will find that they are highly effective and conducted in cooperation with the Department of Justice and in compliance with all Department of Justice requirements, Fani Willis, via NBC News

Aging Energy Infrastructure Plus Climate Change Are a Growing Risk [Video]

Aging Energy Infrastructure Plus Climate Change Are a Growing Risk

Aging Energy Infrastructure, Plus Climate Change, Are a Growing Risk. NPR reports that Texas investigators say that a power pole , "that appeared to be decayed at the base", was the cause of the worst wildfire in the state's history. Xcel Energy, the state's electric utility, said in a statement that , "its facilities appear to have been involved in an ignition of the Smokehouse Creek fire.". Rob Gramlich, president of consulting firm Grid Strategies, warns that many of the U.S.'s power lines were built 60 to 70 years ago. . According to Gramlich, most electric utility providers in the U.S. lack the technology to let them know when power lines are overheating or sagging. Combined with increased temperatures and drier vegetation, this aging infrastructure could spark larger, more intense wildfires. There are some utilities that are really leaders and are getting ahead of the risk, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, via NPR. And then there are others that we look at and think are walking into a catastrophe, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, via NPR. According to experts, wildfire prevention can not only impact safety, but also the cost of energy bills across the nation. We cannot afford – literally, in terms of our pocketbooks – to have utilities be perceived by their investors as high risk, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, via NPR. There is a set of practices that utilities can take that do not cost an arm and a leg that can dramatically cut the risk of outcomes like we saw in Texas, Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, via NPR

Trump Can’t Obtain Appeal Bond in New York Fraud Case

Trump Can’t Obtain Appeal Bond , in New York Fraud Case. According to a New York court filing on March 18, Trump isn't able to secure a $454 million bond as he appeals a civil business fraud judgement against him, CNBC reports. . Trump's attorneys said that getting the bond is "impossible" since it would "effectively" require "cash reserves approaching $1 billion.". Defendants’ ongoing diligent efforts have proven that a bond in the judgment’s full amount is ‘a practical impossibility.’, Donald Trump's lawyers, via CNBC. Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast division of the Lockton Companies, was hired to help Trump obtain a bond. Despite scouring the market, we have been unsuccessful in our effort ... for the simple reason that obtaining an appeal bond for $464 million is a practical impossibility under the circumstances presented, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC. Simply put, a bond of this size is rarely, if ever, seen, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC. In the unusual circumstance that a bond of this size is issued, it is provided to the largest public companies in the world, not to individuals or privately held businesses, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC. Giulietti went on to say that a private company would need about $1 billion to put up as collateral to receive a bond of that size. . While it is my understanding that the Trump Organization is in a strong liquidity position, it does not have $1 billion in cash or cash equivalents, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC.
