##Trump-era investigations
Former Trump appointee Kash Patel is under federal investigation for improper disclosure of classified information, possibly related to his belief that Trump was being persecuted by the โdeep state.โ Patel took a leading role in Trumpโs battle with the intelligence community, proving himself to be one of the most loyal appointees in the administration. He started out as Rep. Devin Nunesโ aide, writing a memo that alleged FBI bias against Trump and attempted to discredit the investigation into Russian election interference. He was on Trumpโs National Security Council, was reportedly part of Giulianiโs backchannel to Ukraine, and was later appointed to Defense Department Chief of Staff.
A new report released by the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General revealed that Trumpโs deployment of law enforcement to Portland, OR, last summer cost $12.3 million. The IG notes (PDF) that the estimated damage caused to Hatfield Courthouse, which DHS and FPS were guarding, only cost $1.6 million. Additionally, few of the officers had been trained in riot and crowd control, even though that was their primary mission:

I simply don't understand how this can be the case, when he's clearly the most radically pro-asian leader we've had this generation. I have yet to meet a Chinese as a first language speaking new yorker who supports Yang...the second generation asian-americans are coming out for him, but the middle aged ones definitely aren't.
On the other hand, they are a-ok with Elaine Chao, in fact, they even praise her for her "filial piety" statement which was disgustingly off base and racist.

"Oh, the future mayor? Does he even know how to speak Chinese? Seeing him care so little about Chinese people, having no time is not an excuse. Chinese people never even hear form him, seems like even if he's mayor he won't help with anything! He only cares about his own interests! He could have spoken some Chinese, even a few phrases! Even if you elect him it's for nothing."
"Andrew Yang doesn't speak Chinese so he got scared and ran away."
In her time as former President Donald Trump's transportation secretary, Elaine Chao repeatedly used her position and agency staff to help family members who run a shipping business with ties to China, in potential violation of federal ethics laws, according to an Office of Inspector General report.
The findings were uncovered in the Transportation Department's inspector general report released Wednesday that detailed the office's investigation into Chao's dealings as secretary.
The inspector general referred the findings to the Justice Department in December 2020. But with the Trump administration coming to a close, the DOJ declined to open its own investigation, citing "there is not predication" to do so.
Chao, who is married to Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced her resignation Jan. 7, saying she was deeply troubled by the previous day's mob attack on the Capitol "in a way that I simply cannot set aside." Her term was set to end at President Biden's swearing-in.
The Transportation Department watchdog launched the probe into Chao's actions as secretary following news reports that detailed her interactions with family in her post as the agency's head. That included an official trip to China in 2017 in which her father and sister were set to join her and participate in high-level meetings.
