(NewsNation) — It’s been 300 days since Russian forces invaded Ukraine and although the Kremlin’s advance has stalled, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukrainians continue to suffer every day.

“It’s a really big mistake to think that this war is over,” Zelenskyy told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo ahead of his visit to the United States on Wednesday.

Earlier this month, TIME Magazine named Zelenskyy and “the spirit of Ukraine” its 2022 person of the year, calling the decision “the most clear-cut in memory.”

When asked about the honor, the Ukrainian president pointed to the bravery of his people and said it’s a sign their voices are being heard.

“The cover of the magazine is not just my face, it’s the face of the people,” said Zelenskyy.

Ukraine’s president told Cuomo he is grateful for the ongoing support from the United States, which he says is crucial to the broader war effort.

So far, the U.S. has provided $68 billion in aid to Ukraine. Much of that has come in the form of advanced weapons like Stinger missiles and Kamikaze drones but also humanitarian relief like supplies and transportation.

“Without Americans — just ordinary people — without their understanding what’s going on in Ukraine, we will not win,” said Zelenskyy.

In November, the White House requested an additional $37.7 billion from Congress, although it remains to be seen whether that request will be granted as the American economy heads toward a possible recession.

Most recently, President Joe Biden announced the U.S. would provide Ukraine with Patriot missile defense systems, which are used by allies to guard against potential strikes by Iran, Somalia and North Korea. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the surface-to-air missile systems could be targets when they arrive.

“The Patriot system is the most effective. Those are the best ones,” Zelenskyy said. “I know that both of our countries are working closely to make sure Ukraine has a chance to have one of the most powerful and modern air defense systems.”

This comes ahead of Zelenskyy’s expected visit to the White House Wednesday. The package, including the Patriot missiles, is expected to cost $1.8 billion.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA.), who is expected to be the next Speaker of the House, has already indicated that Republicans won’t write a “blank check” for Ukraine.

In the meantime, the scale of the humanitarian crisis continues to grow. Almost 8 million refugees have fled the country since Putin’s army invaded in February.

That invasion has slowed in recent months but Zelenskyy said Ukraine continues to fight a “defensive war.” He maintained that he has no interest in invading Russia beyond reclaiming lost Ukrainian territory.

“We fight for peace, not for war — it’s two different emotions,” he said.

This week, dozens gathered in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, lighting what local Jewish leaders are calling Europe’s tallest menorah to mark the start of Hannukah.

Zelenskyy, who is Jewish, said the only thing he wants is a Ukrainian victory this holiday season.

A good friend of mine, Mark Allenbaugh, is a much-sought-after expert on federal criminal sentencing guidelines. Mark agrees that the question of whether or not the DOJ will indict Donald Trump on the four charges recommended by the January 6 Committee on Monday could be moot. That decision may have already been taken by the DOJ and the J6 Committee could play no role either way.

But that doesn’t diminish the intoxicating frisson of pleasure I got from hearing those recommendations read out loud by Jamie Raskin. Hearing the charges read with the passionless precision of law reminds me of the old adage: vengeance is a dish that is best when served cold.

Whether or not the DOJ accepts (or needs) the J6 Committee’s recommendations, Mark has an expert’s opinion on what those charges could add up to in the way of sentencing upon conviction. “So,” Allenbaugh said, “if DOJ indicts Trump on the four recommended charges — obstruction of justice, conspiracy against the U.S., false statements, and inciting an insurrection — he’d be looking at a maximum penalty of 40 to 43 years’ imprisonment.”

It’s important to note that a statutory maximum sentence is seldom applied. Mark Allenbaugh thinks the actual sentence will turn out to be far less than that. Even so, it could add up to one or two decades, a virtual life sentence for Trump. Besides which it’s a well-known statistical fact that prison shortens life expectancy. So once sentenced and incarcerated, Trump probably won’t ever see the light of day again.

Mr. Allenbaugh also believes that Trump is a flight risk, a belief I do not share. In fact we have a side bet about that. If Trump runs off to Russia or the DPRK or some similarly Trump-friendly venue, Mark gets a bottle of scotch. If he doesn’t, I get a book. Not terribly equitable for me, but that should give you an inkling of the kind of odds I’m giving him. I’m quite confident.

In any case, Mark believes the court will see Trump as a flight risk and expects him to be remanded into custody pending trial. I hope he’s right about that. Even if Trump is not a flight risk, and I think he’s not, it would be nice to see him behind bars sooner rather than later.

Mark points out that one of the sentences Trump could draw could be worse if the offense involves domestic terrorism. “Making materially false statements is charged under 18 USC 1001,” Mark says, “and carries either a maximum of 5 years imprisonment or 8 [years imprisonment],” depending on whether or not domestic terrorism is involved. The executive summary of the J6 Committee is mute on that point, but they have acknowledged before that the January 6 insurrection does in fact constitute domestic terrorism.

When does Mr. Allenbaugh expect Trump to be indicted? No later than March of 2023. In that we both agree. And, as ever, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, comrades and friends, stay safe.

Elon Musk said on Tuesday he will step down as chief executive of Twitter after finding a replacement.

“I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams,” Musk wrote on Twitter.

This is the first time Musk has mentioned stepping down as chief of the social media platform, after Twitter users voted decisively in a poll for him to step down, which the billionaire launched on Sunday evening.

Wall Street calls for Musk to step down had been growing for weeks and recently even Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) bulls have questioned his focus on the social media platform and whether that is distracting him from properly steering the electric vehicle business, where he is central to product design and engineering.

Musk has himself admitted he had too much on his plate, and said he would look for a Twitter CEO. He said on Sunday, though, that there was no successor and that “no one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive.”

WASHINGTON—The Democratic-controlled House Ways and Means Committee voted along party lines Tuesday to publicly release a report on Donald Trump’s tax returns, which the former president has long tried to shield.

Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., said supporting materials will be released along with the report. Texas Rep. Kevin Brady, the committee’s top Republican, raised concerns about privacy as the documents could contain information such as Social Security numbers.

The report could provide a fuller look into Trump’s personal and business finances, possibly revealing how much money he paid in taxes, what income he derived from foreign operations and whether his income was as large as the reputed multi-billionaire has suggested.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

The report comes after a yearslong battle that ultimately resulted in the Supreme Court clearing the way last month for the Treasury Department to send the returns to Congress. The committee received six years of tax returns for Trump and some of his businesses.

Democrats are under pressure to act aggressively. With just two weeks left until Republicans formally take control of the House, Tuesday’s meeting was an opportunity for Democrats to disclose whatever information they have gleaned on a figure who still shapes U.S. politics despite losing reelection in 2020.

Before Tuesday’s meeting, Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, the committee’s top Republican, called any release of Trump’s tax records a “dangerous new political weapon” that “even Democrats will come to regret.”

“Our concern is not whether the president should have made his tax returns public, as is traditional, nor about the accuracy of his tax returns,” Brady said. “Our concern is that, if taken, this committee action will set a terrible precedent that unleashes a dangerous new political weapon that reaches far beyond the former president and overturns decades of privacy protections for average Americans that have existed since the Watergate reforms.”

Trump has long had a complicated relationship with his personal income taxes.

As a presidential candidate in 2016, he broke decades of precedent by refusing to release his tax forms to the public. He bragged during a presidential debate that year that he was “smart” because he paid no federal taxes and later claimed he wouldn’t personally benefit from the 2017 tax cuts he signed into law that favored people with extreme wealth, asking Americans to simply take him at his word.

Tax records would have been a useful metric for judging his success in business. The image of a savvy businessman was key to a political brand honed during his years as a tabloid magnet and star of “The Apprentice” television show. They also could reveal any financial obligations — including foreign debts — that could influence how he governed.

But Americans were largely in the dark about Trump’s relationship with the IRS until October 2018 and September 2020, when The New York Times published two separate series based on leaked tax records.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning 2018 articles showed how Trump received a modern equivalent of at least $413 million from his father’s real estate holdings, with much of that money coming from what the Times called “tax dodges” in the 1990s. Trump sued the Times and his niece, Mary Trump, in 2021 for providing the records to the newspaper. In November, Mary Trump asked an appeals court to overturn a judge’s decision to reject her claims that her uncle and two of his siblings defrauded her of millions of dollars in a 2001 family settlement.

The 2020 articles showed that Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes in 2017 and 2018. Trump paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the past 15 years because he generally lost more money than he made.

The articles exposed deep inequities in the U.S. tax code as Trump, a reputed multi-billionaire, paid little in federal income taxes. IRS figures indicate that the average tax filer paid roughly $12,200 in 2017, about 16 times more than the former president paid.

Details about Trump’s income from foreign operations and debt levels were also contained in the tax filings, which the former president derided as “fake news.”

At the time of the 2020 articles, Neal said he saw an ethical problem in Trump overseeing a federal agency that he has also battled with legal filings.

“Now, Donald Trump is the boss of the agency he considers an adversary,” Neal said in 2020. “It is essential that the IRS’s presidential audit program remain free of interference.”

The Manhattan district attorney’s office also obtained copies of Trump’s tax records in February 2021 after a protracted legal fight that included two trips to the Supreme Court.

The office, then led by District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., had subpoenaed Trump’s accounting firm in 2019, seeking access to eight years of Trump’s tax returns and related documents.

The DA’s office issued the subpoena after Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen told Congress that Trump had misled tax officials, insurers and business associates about the value of his assets. Those allegations are the subject of a fraud lawsuit that New York Attorney General Letitia James filed against Trump and his company in September.

Trump’s longtime accountant, Donald Bender, testified at the Trump Organization’s recent criminal trial that Trump reported losses on his tax returns every year for a decade, including nearly $700 million in 2009 and $200 million in 2010.

Bender, a partner at Mazars USA LLP who spent years preparing Trump’s personal tax returns, said Trump’s reported losses from 2009 to 2018 included net operating losses from some of the many businesses he owns through his Trump Organization.

The Trump Organization was convicted earlier this month on tax fraud charges for helping some executives dodge taxes on company-paid perks such as apartments and luxury cars.

The current Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, told The Associated Press in an interview last week that his office’s investigation into Trump and his businesses continues.

“We’re going to follow the facts and continue to do our job,” Bragg said.

Trump, who refused to release his returns during his 2016 presidential campaign and his four years in the White House while claiming that he was under IRS audit, has argued there is little to be gleaned from the tax returns even as he has fought to keep them private.

“You can’t learn much from tax returns, but it is illegal to release them if they are not yours!” he complained on his social media network last weekend.

(NewsNation) — Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo he doesn’t consider himself a “Washington Democrat” when he was asked if he’d ever leave the party like former Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.

The West Virginia Democrat said “we’ll see” and alluded to not having made any decisions on his party affiliation or who he’ll vote for. Right now, he says he’s focused on inflation, energy security, and border security.

“Whether I have a R or an I or a D is not going to change how I’m going to vote. But basically, you just get tired of fighting the fight sometimes because it seems to be the same old thing,” Manchin said.

Cuomo and Manchin were discussing the irony of Republicans enforcing COVID-19 rules at the border, but not in the rest of the country, and Democrats doing the opposite.

“This is tribalism is crazy. I belong to one party, the American party. I’ve always been the most independent. Whether you have D’s or R’s, just vote what’s right for the country,” Manchin said on “CUOMO.”

• The Democratic-majority House Ways and Means Committee voted to make materials related to Trump’s tax returns public. 
• Trump broke with precedent during his 2016 run by refusing to release his tax returns. 
• The committee held its meeting behind closed doors. 

House Democrats voted on Tuesday to publicly release materials related to former President Donald Trump’s personal tax returns, a stunning loss for the embattled former president after years of fighting to protect his finances from public scrutiny. 

The committee voted 24-16, along party lines, to submit the tax filings to the US House. 

Ways and Means Committee member Rep. Dan Kildee of Michigan told reporters on Capitol Hill that the panel would be releasing two reports covering the IRS audit program of presidential tax returns, legislative recommendations to strengthen tax transparency, and the six years of Trump’s tax filings — after all personal identifying information has been redacted.

Kildee anticipated the redactions would take hours but not spill into several days. However, Chairman Rep. Richard Neal said redactions could take days.

The outcome caps a protracted legal battle that involved heated exchanges on Capitol Hill, ping-ponging throughout the court system — culminating in a US Supreme Court stacked with three Trump appointees denying his last-ditch appeal for political cover — and lots of “see-they’re-out-to-get-me” messaging from the uncooperative Trump White House. 

The committee opened its hearing publicly for a few minutes before proceeding with a closed-door meeting that took more than four hours. House Ways and Means Committee chairman Richard Neal said after the vote on Tuesday evening that the redacted information would include social security numbers, street addresses, personal identification numbers, and banking information. 

“Did we have enough time to conduct the review? Yes we did,” Neal told reporters after the meeting, praising Ways and Means staff for combing through the trove of documents in under a month.

He also revealed that the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation — a scorekeeping agency — also assisted with the review, and said its findings would be reflected in one of the two forthcoming reports.

“We think the mandatory audit program needs to be bolstered and boostered,” Neal said of the work that needed to be done at IRS.

Retiring Democratic Rep. Stephanie Murphy of Florida, who also served on the Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol voted for the release of Trump’s tax filings.

The information may for the first time reveal the exact details of Trump’s personal wealth, his tax payments, and his charitable giving — or could contain a summary. Some of this was already revealed in 2020 when The New York Times obtained decades of Trump’s tax information. The Times’ reporting revealed that Trump reported losing vast sums of money over an extended period and that he paid no federal income tax for years. 

US presidents have voluntarily released the financial snapshots since the 1970s in order to ward off any appearance of impropriety. 

US Treasury officials gave Neal Trump’s tax filings for 2015-2020 in late November. He put in for access to the sensitive financial records in April 2019, asking the Internal Revenue Service to share the information so the committee could review the agency’s auditing process. 

“After a long process, this was not about being punitive, it was not about being malicious, and there were no leaks from the committee,” Neal said at the conclusion of the vote. “We adhered carefully to the law.” 

The unusual use of congressional authority to examine private tax returns came about after scandal-plagued Trump bucked decades of tradition by refusing to publicly release his filings while running for president in 2016, and throughout his single term in office. 

Trump’s go-to argument had been that he was under audit. But the IRS automatically audits all US presidents to search for any potential conflicts of interest, so in that respect, Trump was no different from any of his predecessors. 

But Democrats also revealed on Tuesday that they found Trump had not been under audit. Neal told reporters the IRS presidential audit program had been “non-existent,” adding that no one reviewed Trump’s taxes at the agency. Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas told CNN that “the IRS did no audits at all until such time as they received” the document request from Neal. 

Democratic Rep. Judy Chu also said the only time the mandatory presidential audit program kicked in during the Trump years was when Neal wrote the IRS a letter asking about it.

“And none of the audits were completed,” she said of the lack of follow-through by the federal tax agency.

The twice-impeached former president recently announced that he’s running again in 2024. The House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 siege at the US Capitol pressed the Department of Justice to criminally prosecute him for inciting the violent riot. 

The Trump Organization, Trump’s family-run business, was found guilty of tax fraud earlier this month. The verdict means Trump’s company now risks up to $1.6 million in penalties on its January 13 sentencing date. 

The company also now has felony status, meaning a big black eye as Trump makes his third consecutive run for president.

Neal and other Democratic tax writers have been deliberating about how to handle Trump’s tax documents for weeks. Panelists who participated in a December 2 meeting seemed to retreat into two camps that afternoon: publish everything and proceed with caution. 

Retiring House Ways and Means Committee ranking member Rep. Kevin Brady has been pushing the latter for years, pleading with Neal to abandon the tax disclosure hunt once Democrats reclaimed control of the House in 2019. 

A BetterHelp therapist told a 22-year-old gay man he should consider turning straight to repair his relationship with his family, the man told the Wall Street Journal.

• BetterHelp matched a gay patient to a therapist who attempted conversion therapy, the WSJ reported.
• The company has prioritized growth. Some patients say they are dissatisfied with their care.
• BetterHelp is one of several online mental health platforms that grew quickly during the pandemic.

When Caleb Hill, a 22-year old gay man from Tennessee, sought online therapy with the platform BetterHelp after his conservative parents kicked him out of the house, he didn’t expect to be told to change his sexual orientation.

But according to Hill, the therapist that online provider BetterHelp matched him with did exactly that. “He said either you sacrifice your family or you sacrifice being gay,” Hill told The Wall Street Journal. “I needed someone to tell me I was gay and that was OK. I got the exact opposite.”

While BetterHelp says it’s provided beneficial online mental health services to more than three million clients, Hill is among several who said they had issues with the company, according to a recent investigation by the Journal.

BetterHelp, which is owned by publicly traded Teladoc Health, uses algorithms to match patients like Hill to therapists. However, many therapists on the platform aren’t accepting new clients or have left the platform entirely, people familiar with the service told the Journal. 

The company says it has 29,900 therapists; they’re not employees, but independent contractors paid by the hour, the Journal reported. A BetterHelp spokeswoman told the Journal that the company pays more than the median for a licensed therapist in many places. 

Amid the pandemic, BetterHelp, like many online mental-health providers, doubled down on growth. The company’s ad budget was increased to hundreds of millions of dollars a year and it spent $64 million on podcast advertising alone during the first 10 months of 2022, according to estimates that the research firm Magellan AI gave the Journal. 

At the same time, the company’s process for training therapists is minimal, the Journal reported. A former clinical director at the company told The Journal that therapists were “treated like Uber drivers.” The company told the Journal it goes thorough background checks and also relies on state licensing boards, which certify therapists.

Meanwhile, digital mental health startups are a growth area, especially as telehealth has skyrocketed during the pandemic: They received an influx of $4.8 billion in investment over the last year, research and investment firm Rock Health told the Journal. 

But providers have had challenges: Cerebral, another online therapy platform that rode the pandemic wave, laid of 20% of its employees in October and has since made plans to slow growth, Insider reported. It’s now facing federal investigations regarding its prescriptions of stimulants to patients. Done Global Inc. is also up against a Justice Department investigation based upon The Journal’s reporting that its clinicians felt pressured to prescribe stimulants for ADHD.

A spokesperson for BetterHelp told Insider by email: “We firmly stand behind the high-quality service provided at BetterHelp, both in successful therapist matching and ongoing care.” The company said 85% of its clients who do their first session continue on with other sessions.

Meanwhile, the therapist who was assigned to Hill’s case declined to discuss the issue with the Journal, citing what he said was patient confidentiality. BetterHelp also declined to comment to the Journal specifically on Hill’s case. He had requested an LGBTQ counselor, but the site didn’t match him with one, according to the WSJ.

Elon Musk is the CEO of both Twitter and Tesla.

• Some high profile investors agreed Tesla’s stock is down because Musk is distracted with Twitter.
• Musk is trying to get new investment for the platform, and just sold $3.6 billion in Tesla stock.
• “What we’re getting is a vote of no confidence in Elon,” investor Ross Gerber said.

Tesla investors are getting desperate for Elon Musk to shed his Twitter responsibilities and refocus on the electric car company. 

With shares of Tesla down 65% for the year, some Musk fans are getting tired of their hero’s expensive and chaotic social-media foray.

Ross Gerber, head of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, a Tesla shareholder, said during a Twitter Spaces talk on Tuesday that the only reason for the car company’s market woes is Musk’s involvement with Twitter.

“We all know why Tesla stock is down and it has nothing to do with the company,” Gerber said. “The company is doing great. The company has the best environment it could possibly want. It’s about to get a bunch of incentives from the government. The factories are ramping up. New products are launching. The only problem is the optics of having the CEO on Twitter every day discussing the problems of Hunter Biden.”

Over the past two weeks, Musk has been working closely with newsletter writers Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi to release what Musk named “The Twitter Files,” consisting mainly of company email correspondence between Twitter executives and employees about content moderation decisions. He has also begun banning journalists and critics from the platform, while continuing to drastically cut costs and conduct layoffs. 

Another issue is Musk continuing to sell Tesla stock, possibly to keep up with costs related to his new ownership of Twitter, which he officially acquired for $44 billion at the end of October. Musk in April publicly promised he was done selling off his stake in Tesla. Last week, he sold another $3.6 billion.

“Elon selling definitely has killed the stock because of the way he sells,” Gary Black, managing partner of The Future Fund investment firm, which has a stake in Tesla, said during the Spaces event on Tuesday. “I called it reckless before. Maybe that’s too strong a word.”

“It’s baffling,” Gerber added. Both Gerber and Black suggested that Musk is selling Tesla stock to invest in Twitter, a company that Black noted “makes no money and probably never will.”

Just before the Spaces began on Tuesday afternoon, Gerber wrote on Twitter that Tesla’s stock reflected the company “having no CEO.” Musk first responded with snark, then argued that tech stocks including Tesla are dropping because interest rates on personal savings accounts are increasing, leaving people to choose a guaranteed return at a bank over riskier stock investing.

Black rejected that argument, saying the better comparison to Tesla is the 10-year US Treasury bond yield, which is has dropped sharply since late October. That should make a long-term stock investment like Tesla more intriguing to investors. Instead, the stock keeps sinking, falling another 8% on Tuesday.      

Overall, the effect on Tesla’s stock and the result of a poll Musk posted on Saturday that ended up telling him he should step down as Twitter’s CEO, was a clear statement, according to Gerber.

“What we’re getting is a vote of no confidence in Elon,” Gerber said.

Gerber is also an investor in Twitter, having participated in the equity financing round earlier this year that preceded Musk’s takeover. He said he did receive an email early last week, one that went to all those who previously invested in Musk’s Twitter takeover – saying the company was “doing another round” of fundraising, and for investors to get in touch if interested. Although Twitter shared no information on its current financial situation, he added.

“That’s weird,” Black noted. “The financials are way different now.” And, Gerber said, despite responding to the fundraising email, he has received no follow up communication from Musk’s team or anyone from Twitter about the new financing round.

Boxes containing documents related to President Donald Trump’s tax returns arrive as the House Ways & Means Committee holds a hearing regarding tax returns from former President Donald Trump on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2022.

• The Dem-controlled House Ways & Means Committee will decide whether to release Trump’s tax returns.
• The congressional panel went into a closed-door session on Tuesday afternoon.
• Democrats have been working since 2015 to gain access to the former president’s financial documents.

Boxes of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns got the ceremonial treatment on Tuesday as they were wheeled into a key House Ways & Means Committee hearing in a little blue wagon.

Lawmakers on the committee are set to vote Tuesday whether to publicly release Trump’s returns, which he kept confidential during his campaign and presidency in a buck of recent tradition.

The Democratic-led committee officially gained access to the documents, which span 2015-2020, in November after the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s emergency request to block the panel from obtaining the records.

Democrats are coming down to the wire on whether or not to make the documents public in the final days of the year. Republicans will take control of the House of Representatives come January.

The closed session began at 3 p.m. ET and could continue late into the evening. It was unclear when exactly the returns would be released if the committee decides to make them public.

Democrats on the committee have long been working to gain access to the former president’s financial documents spanning from 2015 to 2020, while Republicans have framed the Democrats’ fight as politically-motivated.

While much has been reported on Trump’s finances in the intervening years, questions still remain about the entrepreneur’s wealth and financial dealings with foreign countries and individuals that could be revealed in the documents.
