MS NOW's Jen Psaki was beside herself on Thursday as she reported on two blockbuster stories about corruption in the Trump administration.

NBC News reported that former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's top lieutenant, Cory Lewandowski, asked federal contractors to pay him in exchange for growing their contracts with the agency. One company highlighted in particular was the private prison company, GEO Group.


Bloomberg also reported on Thursday that President Donald Trump's son, Don Jr., recently invested in a rare earth minerals company at roughly the same time that the company secured a $620 million federal loan. That investment also happened at a time when the Trump administration is threatening to withhold funding for a critical H.I.V. prevention program in Zambia in exchange for more of the country's rare earth minerals.

"While the rare earth magnet startup was only valued at about $200 million when Don Jr.'s firm invested in it, today, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that the startup is now valued at nearly $2 billion," Psaki reported.

1. It's almost impossible to keep up with all this grifting, corruption.

All this while so many millions of people are barely hanging on and so many aren’t even able to do that. Shameful!
