today from that federal judge. it s also a new ruling today from a different federal judge involving the country s most long standing and frankly most putrid online neo nazi gathering place. it s a website called the daily stormer. it s named as an homage to a nazi newspaper from the third reich. you might have heard over the last couple months that the daily stormer has been on the receiving end of some really expensive lightning bolts thrown at them in court by some of their past victims. in june, it was comedian and commentator dean obeidallah. a couple years ago he wrote a column for the daily beast in which he described a bunch of murders committed in the first year of donald trump s presidency by killers who expressed white supremacist beliefs or motives. the column said in part, quote, trump refuses to call these acts what they are white supremacist terrorism. well, the neo nazis at the daily stormer, a website that should
with hiring undocumented immigrants. here s the lead to fahrenthold s latest story. quote, for nearly two decades, the trump organization has relied on a roving crew of latin american employees to build fountains and waterfalls, sidewalks and rock walls a to the company s winery, and its golf courses from new york to florida. other employees at trump clubs were so impressed by the laborerers who did strenuous york with heavy stone that they nicknamed the spanish word for the flintstones. their ranks have included workers who entered the u.s. illegally. another employee still with the company said that remains true today. that remains true today. despite the trump organization s promises that they wouldn t do that anymore. and today s report is not just that trump s golf clubs are continuing to employ undocumented workers, even as the president makes his vitriol and hatred of undocumented immigrants the centerpiece of his re-election campaign. the centerpiece of this reporting today is
should be noted, endorsed donald trump for president, they did not like that criticism against president trump in that column by dean obeidallah and they responded the following day by making up some fake tweets that they attributed to mr. obeidallah, and they published those fake tweets online, which made it look like mr. obeidallah was actually a terrorist. they had these fake tweets made that where he appeared to be taking credit for various violent terrorist attacks around the globe, using this false information that they put online. they then directed white supremacist trolls and neo-nazis around the country and around the world to go get dean obeidallah and to go threaten them, to which they did to massive and terrifying effect. well, you can t necessarily do n that. and in june, a federal judge handed down a $4.1 million judgment against the daily stormer, against that neo-nazi website and the guy who runs it, ordering the website and its

they have made a sort of quasi-public affirmation that they don t want to do this anymore, that they maybe did this in the past but now they ll stop or try to get a handle on it. this new reporting from you about what they re now calling the mobile payroll construction firm, right, this company that trump is operating, that s using these undocumented workers, this seems to be not only current, but it seems to post date the affirmations from the trump organizations in the past that they wouldn t do this anymore. it does, you re right. in january, which was three to four years after president trump had sort of built a political career on the idea that undocumented immigrants were a threat to american jobs, american lives, the trump organization at that point, three or four years later, they undertook an effort to sort of purge their ranks of undocumented workers and they found a lot of them. many of whom had given they had been working for them for ten years or more. so they said at
