How 3 men secretly wired $88M to ‘loved ones’ in Yemen and China
Tresa Baldas Detroit Free Press Published 6:01 PM EST Feb 19, 2019 The federal government called it a scam. Three men wired $88 million overseas, prosecutors say, and tried to keep it a secret. But a defense lawyer says they weren't doing anything bad with the money: They were just sending it home to relatives, and the government knew it. "They are just creating an opportunity for their loved ones to receive money. ... In the olden days, they used to just pass it off by hand.

CBS News reporter Scott Pelley said McCabe denied the claim that Rosenstein’s wire idea was a joke during his interview on 60 Minutes. “It came up more than once and it was so serious that he took it to the lawyers at the FBI to discuss it,” Pelley said, referencing McCabe’s remarks. At the time, Rosenstein called the New York Times’s report on the 25th Amendment conversations “inaccurate and factually incorrect.” “I never pursued or authorized recording the President and any suggestion that I have ever advocated for the removal of the President … [Read more...] about Andrew McCabe Told 60 Minutes Rod Rosenstein Was NOT Joking About Wearing a Wire With Trump
