Smartmatic executives charged with alleged bribery in Philippines

Federal prosecutors have charged voting technology firm Smartmatic with money laundering and other crimes arising from more than $1 million in bribes several executives allegedly paid to election officials in the Philippines. The payments, between 2015 and 2018, were made to obtain a contract with the Philippines government to help run that country’s 2016 presidential election and secure the timely payment for its work, according to a superseding indictment filed Thursday in Miami federal court. Three former executives of Smartmatic, including co-founder Roger Pinate, were previously charged in 2024 but at the time Smartmatic was not named as a defendant.

“Thank you for making this city safe, because no parent should have to go through what my family went through,” #BennyJohnson told Press Sec Leavitt.

In fact, #police records show, NOBODY has been murdered since at least 2017 on the block Johnson lived in #Washington. And his home was NOT burned, though his next-door neighbor’s house was “intentionally set” on fire, acc/to the city’s fire department. Johnson left Washington permanently in 2021.

#BennyJohnson took the opportunity at the briefing to recount what he claimed was his own experience with crime in the nation’s capital in recent years. He said that he had recorded murders on a camera outside his home, & that his “house was set ablaze in an arson.” Any claims that #Washington wasn’t dangerous, he said, were “lies.”

The #Republican Party loves pretending that #Trump wasn’t president during #COVID.

Unfortunately for them, we aren’t all amnesiacs.

The admin stated that “Certain Federal unions have declared *#war* on President Trump’s agenda.”

Is he going to use #wartime powers against #union members now?
