th district is no exception. In a recent television commercial, Chris Jacobs has called to end corruption. Ironically enough, Jacobs is now at the center of what is becoming a tangled web of L.P. Ciminelli’s public corruption. As reported by the New York Times, Ciminelli is being charged with “two overlapping criminal schemes involving bribery, corruption and fraud in the award of hundreds of millions of dollars in state contracts and other official state benefits.” The public corruption charges stem from L.P. Ciminelli’s role as a contractor for the Buffalo Billion project. “What shouldn’t be lost in this web of public corruption, is that the same candidate plastering Western New York with commercials calling for an end to corruption, has been financed by the same men who are now facing charges in one of Western New York’s largest public corruption schemes,” commented Matt Tighe, campaign manager for Amber Small’s Senate Campaign. “That’s exactly what is wrong with this system and why we need comprehensive reform,” he added.]]>

Trump teases White House meeting with ‘sick’ foreign leader he threatened to arrest
President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday night that he will meet with his Colombian counterpart at the White House after threatening to arrest him over the flow of drugs into the United States.
Trump posted on Truth Social that he plans to meet with Colombian President Gustavo Petro at the White House. Just two days ago, Trump called Petro a "sick man" who "likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States" following the arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.
"And he's not going to be doing it very long. Let me tell you," Trump said at the time.
On Wednesday, Trump said he appreciated the "tone" of Petro's call with him.
"It was a Great Honor to speak with the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, who called to explain the situation of drugs and other disagreements that we have had," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "I appreciated his call and tone, and look forward to meeting him in the near future."
