sweetheart deal he got with that $5.1 million book deal where they doctored the numbers and did they do things to make it look even rosier for that man right there so he could get a $5.1 million book advance? rachel: we had assemblyman ron kim on. he has been a great voice along with janice dean on this fight for finding the truth. here s what he had to say. civil investigation is still open for the entire nursing homes. and the criminal investigation, more importantly, is still ongoing. for the governor to take the media national stage and take a victory lap and play the victim while thousands of families like janice and mine are still seeking the truth, that is what s cruel. he s like a broken record. he blames everybody else except the guy that signed the mandate for 46 days to put covid positive patients in the nursing home. i would love for him to talk to victims families a town hall
two acquaintances say it s all a strategic effort by ivanka trump to undo the entanglements caused for years by being at her father s side. so i want to bring you in on this and also on reporting from kate that the former president is really mad about his son-in-law s reported six figure book deal. one person who spoke with the former president in the last two weeks recounted a conversation in which trump complained about kushner inking a book deal he thinks his son-in-law will use to take credit for some of his achievements. i m getting there will be no surpr surprise. i think that the former president i heard with several people he was not thrilled with mike pence s book advance, which was supposed to
