The Russian entrepreneur, who reportedly has family links to the Kremlin, has a history of success in niche online businesses such as providing financial services to porn stars and camgirls.

Postolnikov has also been suspected by U.S. federal agents of making nearly $23 million in 2021 from alleged insider trading on Trump’s social media platform, according to court documents filed by defense attorneys. The accusation was revealed in court documents related to three men, financier Michael Shvartsman, his brother Gerald, and Bruce Garelick, who were arrested last June and charged with insider trading. In February, the government also added money laundering charges. Both Michael and Gerald Shvartsman pleaded guilty to one count of securities fraud in early April.

House Freedom Caucus chair calls for end to taxpayer-funded media after NPR scandal ends with editor's exit

House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good is calling for taxpayer funds to stop going toward NPR and any media outlet.

www.foxnews.com

House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good, R-Va., is calling for an end to taxpayer-funded media, the latest top Republican to push back on National Public Radio (NPR) after a now-former employee accused it of operating with an overwhelming left-wing bias.

Good’s new Defund NPR Act, introduced Friday, would block federal funding from going directly toward NPR and also block public radio stations that get federal grants from using those taxpayer funds to buy content from or pay dues to NPR as a member station.

"The government shouldn't be in the business of funding media, and it certainly shouldn't be funding media that has a clear bias," Good told Fox News Digital in his first interview on the legislation. "NPR has had a clear left-wing bias for decades, and it's just growing by the day. And there's no reason for taxpayers to have to fund this."

Electric vehicles are 'direct wealth transfer' from owners of gas-powered vehicles to EV owners, experts say

Experts warned that EVs pose numerous problems including technological, affordability, range, weather, infrastructure and economic concerns.

Bennett discussed the $7,500 federal tax credit for EVs, which he said "is one small part of the whole equation" when it comes to what the government is doing to subsidize EV production.

"We calculated that if you add on the socialized infrastructure costs, and then in particular add on California's zero emission vehicle mandate, which adds cost to all of us because the automakers have to pay to produce more EVs in California, and they spread that cost to the whole country, the federal fuel economy regulations alone are subsidizing each EV by about $20,000. Add all this together, and each EV is getting almost $50,000 in subsidies," he said.
