“Vasic forged a proposal for a decision to revoke the status of cultural property,” the Office of the Prosecutor for Organized #Crime said. “Goran Vasic caused damage to the cultural heritage of the Republic of #Serbia.”
The forged doc served as the legal basis for lifting protection from the complex. Vasic, who has served as the acting dir of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments since June, faces charges of abuse of office & #forgery of official documents.

Continued thread

The leader of the Serbian agency charged w/protecting cultural monuments admitted to authorities that he had forged a govt document allowing the former Yugoslav Ministry of Defense HQ in #Belgrade to be demolished & replaced w/the #Trump #hotel.

Serbian government officials say that the agency’s leader, Goran Vasic, fabricated an expert opinion to justify the government’s decision to strip the site of its cultural heritage status.

The #Trump $500M luxury #hotel project in #Serbia, slated to be built on the site of a bombed-out Defense Ministry building, has run into an embarrassing complication. A key document…was forged, ofcls there said this week.

#JaredKushner, Trump’s son-in-law, & his business partners plan to build a luxury residential & commercial complex on the site of the long-vacant compound that is slated to include a Trump International Hotel, the first in #Europe.

#CharlesKushner, the father of #Trump's son-in-law #JaredKushner, told the US #Senate on Thurs he could be trusted to exercise good judgment if confirmed as US #ambassador to #France, despite his past #conviction for #TaxEvasion & #WitnessTampering & other federal charges.

"I made a very, very, very serious mistake & I paid a heavy price for that mistake," Kushner, a wealthy real estate developer, said during a hearing before the Senate #ForeignRelations Cmte.

#RachelMaddow brings another mental backstory on the #Trump #tariffs🤯 :

Peter #Navarro, a quack #economist recruited by #JaredKushner as Trump's trade advisor, the suspect author of the insane tariff #formula, turns out to have created a fictional expert called #RonVara, an anagram of his name, to cite in his books & memos as a trusted source and justify the policy of so-called #reciprocal tariffs. Even made up an email address for him.

#DEMOCRATIC #SENATORS have got to stop talking the talk and start walking the walk!

#CONGRESSIONAL #DEMOCRATS must #SUBPOENAELONMUSK!

#DEMS must hold their own public probes of #ElonMusk #Musk #DOGE in front of cameras, even if the hearings are in a broom closet at the #US #Capitol!

#SheldonWhitehouse #AmyKlobuchar #DickDurbin #ChrisCoons #ChuckSchummer and #TammyDuckworth, to name a few, have been talking tough for years while slow walking #USA into #FASCISM hand in hand with #Republicans.

The #DemocraticParty had #4YEARS to #PROBE #JaredKushner and #IvankaTrump and the #2BILLION #Kushner and #Trump illegally acquired from #SaudiArabia yet they did #NOTHING!

#SENATE DEMOCRATS #FAILED to hold even #1HEARING on #DonaldTrump #Trump #CRIMES WHILE IN OFFICE!

The #FAIL of #JoeBiden and #MerrickGarland's #DOJ is matched only by the #FAILURE of #SENATEDEMOCRATS!

DEM SENATORS have proven they care more about maintaining the #StatusQuo than #Justice and #Liberty for #All.

#SUBPOENAMUSK!

A new opinion piece by a former ADL staffer who left last year after the group honored Jared Kushner:

===

I watched from the inside as the ADL erased racial justice from its civil rights priorities, caved to pressure from conservative media for being “too woke,” and quietly abandoned core education programs. The shift began with an internal pause on its use of the word “racism” while it sought a “new” definition (spoiler: they still don’t have one). Then, it removed “racial justice” from its portfolio altogether.

Rather than expand anti-bias education, it shut down a decades-old initiative that helped students challenge discrimination. Then, it removed more than 100 lesson plans that helped educators address bias against LGBTQ, Muslim, and immigrant students.
