WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 12: John McEntee, then-Director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, follows behind then-U.S. President Donald Trump, as they depart on the South Lawn of the White House, on December 12, 2020 in Washington, DC.

Donald Trump's former White House aide is under fire after a video showed him claiming to distribute fake money to homeless people so that they will be arrested when they spend it.
Johnny McEntee, formerly the White House Presidential Personnel Office under the former president, posted a video on TikTok in which he discusses the purported scheme to "clean up the community."
"So I always keep this fake Hollywood money in my car, so when a homeless person asks for money, and I give them like a $5 bill, I feel good about myself, they feel good," said McEntee, also a senior advisor to Project 2025. "And then when they go to use it, they get arrested, so I'm actually helping to clean up the community and get them off the street."

Law professor Orin Kerr responded to the video, "Causing innocent people to be arrested is good, according to Trump aide."
Another law professor, Jennifer Taub, replied that "ignorance of 18 U.S.C. 2 is no defense."
Reed Galen, former campaign manager for Sen. John McCain and Lincoln Project co-founder, suggested it was part of a pattern.
"Spoke to a friend recently who's worked as civil servant for years and dealt with Trump people," Galen said. "He said, 'Here's the thing: They literally don't care if something is illegal. Oh, that's illegal? It'll be fine.'" Galen then added, "BTW, @SecretService, FYI."
Galen wasn't the only one. Social media is flooded with individuals tagging the Secret Service and FBI, with several of them demanding an investigation into the alleged misconduct by McEntee, who is no stranger to financial crime investigations.
@ArchertheArmo also chimed in:
"Hey @SecretService check out the dude from Project 2025. He's giving out counterfeit money as real money to homeless to set them up."

I think it takes someone like that to thrive in the Trump orbit.
During the House 1/6 hearings I noticed how many people had
finally just had enough of the cruelty and meanness.
But if he makes it back into office, we are going to see that
meanness institutionalized with Stephen Miller's planned deportations.

Well, I certainly hope that he makes them sit, shake and roll over before just giving them a $5 bill. 
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Sounds like he was making a dumb, bad joke, It's not like he left a bag of cocaine at the White House that no one could trace back to the owner...
The guy seems like an a-hole, but so are most of us if they just took 30 second sound bites of our life, out of context.
People are really stretching to put negative news out there. Maybe next we will hear about a mother threatening to leave her kids at Walmart.
That's a crime, right?

I though the story would be about how the rich are so out of touch with the common man.
Who counterfeits a $5 bill? You're losing money son!

Well, it is hollywood movie money. I mean the fish don't care if you're throwing out a real worm or a plastic one.

And Trump supporters will bend over backwards to find a way to defend all of them.
