|
| "This is the kinda s--- that will kill us," he texted the
| deputy. "We cover it wall to wall and then we burn that

| ...
| Shah was part of a long line of Trump underlings who passed
| back and forth between Trump's orbit and Fox's on- and
| off-air ranks.
|
| Shah, who remains at Fox, declined to comment through a
| company spokesman.
|
| Before joining the White House, Shah, 38, worked for the
| Republican National Committee in four election cycles,
| focusing on opposition research against Democrats. As the

| promote stories related to Hillary Clinton's use of a
| private email server and her work at her family's
| foundation.

| "I also see reports that Nancy Pelosi's longtime chief of

| "Well, obviously," Powell responded, "they have invested in
| it for their own reasons and are using it to commit this
| fraud to steal votes."
