Justice: Musk may have violated campaign finance law
The Justice Department sends a letter to America PAC, warning that awarding $1 million to registered voters who sign a petition might violate federal laws against paying voters. Such letters typically do not outline the department’s next steps and are intended to force the recipient to make changes to conform with the law. Musk’s defenders say the lottery is not illegal because it pays people who signed a petition — and did not specifically award people for registering to vote.
Racial discrimination lawsuit
The Justice Department sues the Trump Management Corporation for alleged racial discrimination in 39 of its buildings across New York. The Government says Trump Management has refused to rent or negotiate rentals and required different rental terms and conditions, because of race or color, as well as misrepresenting to blacks that apartments were not available. Donald Trump denies the charges:
They are absolutely ridiculous. We have never discriminated, and we never would. There have been a number of local actions against us, and we have won them all…We proved in court that we did not discriminate.
