The Fort Lauderdale Police Department released body-cam footage of an incident involving former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, who was hospitalized for intent to self-harm.

Miami Herald: “Brad Parscale was involuntarily hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act by officers and taken to Broward Health Medical Center Sunday after barricading himself in the $2.4 million home he shares in Fort Lauderdale’s Seven Isles with his wife, Candice. In reports released Monday, police documented a tense scene in which Parscale — after possibly firing a shot inside his house — refused to leave and was ultimately tackled by SWAT officers outside the home when he emerged shirtless with a beer in his hand.”

“Officers also wrote in their reports that Parscale’s wife told them he had post-traumatic stress disorder and had become violent in recent weeks. She showed them bruises on her arms from an argument two days prior, they said. Police say they took photos of injuries.”

“A tense situation unfolded at a home owned by Brad Parscale, the former campaign manager for President Trump’s reelection campaign, after his wife called police to say that Parscale had guns and was threatening to harm himself, Fort Lauderdale police said Sunday night,” the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

“The police, called by his wife, went to the house in the Seven Isles community, an affluent area in which the houses have access to the water. They made contact, ‘developed a rapport’ and negotiated his exit from the house.”

Michael Caputo, the political consultant at the center of controversy over the Trump administration’s coronavirus messaging, has been diagnosed with metastatic head and neck cancer, the Buffalo News reports.

Said Caputo: “It’s something I’ve been dealing with for months but didn’t do anything about it, even though I work in a building full of doctors.”

Caputo recently took a 60-day leave of absence from his post at the Department of Health and Human Services.

“Thousands of documents detailing $2 trillion of potentially corrupt transactions that were washed through the US financial system have been leaked to an international group of investigative journalists,” The Guardian reports.

“One of those named in the SARs is Paul Manafort, a political strategist who led Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election campaign for several months.”

Federal prosecutors have seized “voluminous” emails and other communications in their case against Stephen Bannon, the former adviser to President Trump who is charged with defrauding donors to a private group that promised to build a wall on the Mexican border, the New York Times reports.

Former FBI director James Comey told CBS News that former Trump strategist Steve Bannon was in “a world of trouble” following his arrest last week on fraud charges.

Said Comey: “It’s another reminder of the kind of people this president surrounds himself with, at this point they could almost start their own crime family.”

He added: “It’s a very serious case, the Southern District of New York has laid it out in a very detailed indictment called a speaking indictment, and he’s in a world of trouble.”

In a newly-discovered video clip from a 2019 “We Build the Wall” telethon, Steve Bannon jokingly brags about being on a “million dollar yacht” with Brian Kolfage, who Bannon quips paid for the yacht with “all that money” from donors.

Both men were arrested yesterday — Bannon was actually on a yacht — and charged with fraud and money laundering.

“I first encountered Steve Bannon in 2004 and if you told me he would be arrested in 2020, my reaction would have been, ‘You really think it will take that long?’ One of the creepier freaks you’re likely to encounter this side of a White House staff meeting.”

Steve Bannon claimed his arrest over a scheme to defraud donors to a campaign supposedly raising funds for a border wall was politically motivated, CNN reports.

Said Bannon: “This entire fiasco is to stop people who want to build the wall.”

Former Trump administration chief strategist Steve Bannon was charged with fraud by federal prosecutors in New York and taken into custody, Axios reports.

Bannon, along with three others, allegedly defrauded donors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars for their own profit with a crowdfunding campaign called “We Build the Wall” that raked in over $25 million.

Politico: “Longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone has unexpectedly dropped the appeal of his seven federal felony convictions for seeking to thwart a House investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Stone’s lawyers submitted a notice to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals withdrawing the appeal Monday night, about a month after Trump spared Stone a 40-month prison term and a $20,000 fine by commuting his sentence.”

Republican strategist Frank Luntz gave CNBC a live tour of the Oval Office replica in his California home that cost him almost $1 million to build.

Michael Cohen “has been offered work as a consultant and to make media appearances for a political action committee,” the AP reports.

“Cohen also plans to have discussions with his editor and publisher ‘as quickly as possible’ to achieve his goal of publishing a book critical of Trump before November’s election.”

Roger Stone told Axios that he plans to write and speak for President Trump’s re-election now that Stone “won’t die in a squalid hellhole of corona-19 virus.”

Said Stone: “First, I’m going to write a book about this entire ordeal to, once and for all, put to bed the myth of Russian collusion.”

He added: “It’ll be a very tough fight. He’s got three obstacles: voter fraud… internet censorship, which I have just recently experienced myself; and, of course, the constant falsehoods being pushed by the corporate-owned mainstream media. Those all make it a difficult race. But he is a great campaigner. He’s a great communicator.”
