Julian Assange: Trump 'offered pardon for Russia denial'
Trump 'offered Assange pardon for Russia denial'
A lawyer for Julian Assange has alleged that President Donald Trump offered to pardon the Wikileaks founder, if he said Russia was not involved in leaking emails during the 2016 US election.

The offer is said to have been conveyed by the former Republican Congressman, Dana Rohrabacher.

Assange's barrister revealed the claim at Westminster Magistrates' Court ahead of an extradition hearing next week.

The White House said the claim was "a complete fabrication and a total lie".

Family of Texas man Trump pardoned dished out donations to his reelection campaign
Family of Texas man Trump pardoned dished out donations to his reelection campaign
One of the lesser-known individuals granted pardons and clemency by President Donald Trump Tuesday is a relatively obscure former construction company executive from Texas whose family members have given six-figure donations to the president's reelection campaign.
While Pogue himself hasn't been an outspoken Trump defender, his family members have given more than $200,000 to the president's high-dollar fundraising vehicle for the reelection campaign as recently as last fall, disclosure reports filed to the Federal Election Commission show.

Paul Pogue's son, Ben Pogue, who now leads the family construction company, and his wife, Ashleigh Pogue, together gave a total of $238,541 between August and October 2019 to Trump Victory, a joint fundraising committee between the Trump campaign the Republican National Committee.

The couple gave $135,000 to Trump Victory as direct contribution in August and gave more than $103,000 as in-kind contributions for "air travel" between September and October last year, suggesting they were lending private jets to the campaign.

For me America's greatest achievement was winning the moon race.

Who do you think paid for that?

Tax payers.
