Trump team wants to scrap car-crash reporting rule that Tesla opposes

The Trump transition team wants the incoming administration to drop a car-crash reporting requirement opposed by Elon #Musk’s #Tesla according to a document seen by Reuters, a move that could cripple the government’s ability to investigate and regulate the safety of vehicles with #automated-#driving systems.

Musk, the world's richest person, spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars helping #Trump get elected president in November. Removing the crash-disclosure provision would particularly benefit Tesla, which has reported most of the crashes – more than 1,500 – to federal safety regulators under the program.

Who Is Konstantin Nikolaev? Putin Ally Behind Mike Johnson Campaign Donation

News of money previously given to House Speaker Mike Johnson's congressional campaign by Russian nationals has re-emerged after the Republican rejected a $95 billion foreign aid bill passed in the Senate.

In 2018, a group of Russians were able to donate to Johnson's bid for the Louisiana seat he eventually won as the money was funneled through the Texas-based American #Ethane company.

While American Ethane was co-founded by American John Houghtaling, at the time it was 88 percent owned by three Russian nationals—Konstantin Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, and Andrey Kunatbaev. #Nikolaev is known to be a top ally of Russian President Vladimir #Putin.

Let's talk about Trump, China, and a report....

This would violate the law since he did not seek congressional permission and was doing so knowingly when his businesses were supposed to be in a trust and not managed by him...and could easily be seen as quid pro quo or Bribery under the law with representatives of a foreign power.
