Harris Campaign Launches “Republicans for Harris”
The Kamala Harris campaign has launched a new movement for Republicans who hate Donald Trump: “Republicans for Harris.”
A press release states: “Today, Harris for President is launching Republicans for Harris, a grassroots organizing program to further outreach efforts to the millions of Republican voters who continue to reject the chaos, division and violence of Donald Trump and his Project 2025 agenda. This program will leverage principal travel, on-the-ground organizing efforts, and paid media to reach, persuade, and mobilize Republican voters.”
The release lists various endorsements from “prominent Republic voices” including Stephanie Grisham, Chuck Hagel, Jim Edgar, Rod Chandler, Geoff Duncan, Adam Kinzinger and Joe Walsh.

“Donald Trump’s MAGA extremism is toxic to the millions of Republicans who no longer believe the party of Donald Trump represents their values and will vote against him again in November,” said Austin Weatherford, who served as former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s chief of staff and has now been appointed National Director of Republican Outreach for the Harris campaign.
“Vice President Harris and our campaign are working overtime to earn the support of my fellow Republicans who care about defending democracy and restoring decency.”
On social media, the response from Republicans was less than positive.
“The same Never Trump losers over & over again,” Tweeted Jeff Carlson.
“Democrats all. If we had a real party, the GOP would purge themselves of these frauds.
“Let me guess. Mitt Romney chairman. Liz Cheney vice chairman. Adam Kinsinger treasurer. Lincoln Project youth outreach,” joked another user.

Another Triathlete Hospitalized After Olympics Swim in Seine
The Belgian triathlon team has forfeited the mixed triathlon finals scheduled for Monday due to an athlete, Claire Michel, being hospitalized after swimming in the Seine River, the country’s Olympic Committee has announced.
The sporting body took jabs at the Paris Olympics organizers, expressing hopes “that lessons will be learned for future triathlon competitions,” and that there will be no more “uncertainty” for athletes and support personnel.
“The BOIC and Belgian Triathlon must unfortunately announce that the ‘Belgian Hammers’ will not be starting the mixed relay at the Paris Olympic Games tomorrow. The decision, like this communication, was taken in consultation with the athletes and their entourage,” the committee said in a statement.
“Claire Michel, a member of the relay, is unfortunately ill and must withdraw from the competition,” it added.
While the committee did not elaborate, local media reports have suggested that Michel, who has been hospitalized for four days already, was diagnosed with an E.coli bacterial infection. While the athlete apparently fell ill shortly after finishing 38th in the women’s triathlon competition on Wednesday, it has not been positively established that she contracted the bacteria in the murky waters of the Seine.

The development comes after the Swiss triathlon team said it had to replace triathlete Adrien Briffod with Simon Westermann after the former contracted a gastrointestinal infection. The team noted it was still unclear whether Briffod’s illness was related to the Seine.
The Belgian team has been highly critical of the condition of the Seine, with multiple athletes publicly speaking of their experience. “While swimming under the bridge, I felt and saw things that we shouldn’t think about too much,” Jolien Vermeylen, who finished 24th in Wednesday’s event, said, adding that the waters did not exactly taste like “Coca-Cola or Sprite.”
“The Seine has been dirty for a hundred years, so they can’t say the safety of the athletes is a priority,” she claimed.
The water condition of the highly-polluted river had been a source of widespread concern long before the Games. A $1.5 billion project aimed at cleaning up the Seine yielded mixed results at best and was marred by various mishaps, including the release of a large quantity of sewage into the river shortly before the Olympics.
The French authorities, however, insisted on holding open-water competitions on the Seine, with several senior officials, including French Sports Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, taking a swim in the river to demonstrate that it is safe. President Emmanuel Macron, who had also made a half-hearted pledge to take a dip, however, ultimately abstained from doing so.

DOJ and Mueller Investigated Whether Egyptian President Was Bankrolling Trump in 2016
The Department of Justice, with special counsel Robert Mueller, investigated whether Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign was bankrolled by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
The investigation, previously undisclosed, was revealed by The Washington Post last week. It sought to discover whether a $10 million donation to the Trump campaign by Donald Trump himself was actually paid for by the Egyptian government.
The investigation began in 2017 when classified US intelligence suggested that Sisi provided funding for the Trump campaign. The investigation, led by the DoJ, involved special counsel Robert Mueller, and at one point included a legal battle with the National Bank of Egypt, after investigators were told of a significant cash withdrawal from the National Bank of Egypt days before Trump’s inauguration.
The legal battle with the National Bank of Egypt reached the US Supreme Court, which ruled against the Bank and ordered that the Bank surrender records to the investigation. After initially holding out, the Bank relented, and delivered 1,000 pages of documents to the investigation.
The DoJ’s investigators could not determine the source of the funds, and the case was eventually closed by US Attorney Michael Sherwin.
Sherwin told The Post that the Biden administration, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, who took over the Department of Justice, could have relaunched the probe if they disagreed.
“The case was closed without prejudice,” Sherwin said. “Anyone could have reopened the case the second I left that office.”
“The investigation referenced found no wrongdoing and was closed,” a spokesman for the Trump campaign also told The Washington Post.
“None of the allegations or insinuations being reported on have any basis in fact. The Washington Post is consistently played for suckers by Deep State Trump-haters and bad faith actors peddling hoaxes and shams.”

Musk PAC Being Investigated in Michigan
A political action committee created and funded by billionaire Elon Musk is being investigated by the Michigan secretary of state’s office over its efforts to collect voter data.
Musk helped create and fund the America PAC, which supports former president Donald Trump.
In July, Musk was reported as saying he would contribute $45 million a month to the PAC for the duration of the election, but he has since distanced himself from Trump and said he would not be contributing such a sum.
The PAC has been acquiring voter information via its website, which includes a form that allows individuals to register to vote; although some links on the website appear to be broken, meaning that the full registration process cannot be completed.
“Every citizen should know exactly how their personal information is being used by PACs, especially if an entity is claiming it will help people register to vote in Michigan or any other state,” a spokeswoman for the Michigan secretary of state’s office said in a statement.
“While the America PAC is a federal political action committee, the Department is reviewing their activities to determine if there have been any violations of state law. We will refer potential violations to the Michigan Attorney General’s office as appropriate.”
It’s not clear if any laws have been broken. A former US attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan told CNBC, “I am not aware of any laws being broken” by the PAC’s activities.
An insider told CNBC that the America PAC website was fully functioning at one point, but is currently not. A new website will be launched in the coming weeks.

Crypto Plunges: Bitcoin Down 11% Overnight
The overall value of cryptocurrency plunged on Sunday, falling by $270 billion as investors cashed out of risky assets.
Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, recorded an 11% drop and Ether a 21% drop. Binance’s BNB is also down 15% and Solana is down 10%.
The plunge in cryptocurrencies is part of a broader fall in equities in the Asia-Pacific market and US. Japan’s Nikkei 225 has fallen by 7% after losses last week and the Bank of Japan’s announcement that it would increase its interest rate to its highest level in 16 years. The US Nasdaq fell by 3.4%, with significant contributions to the decrease coming from Amazon and Nvidia. Disappointing economic performance in the US, including a poor jobs report, growing unemployment and decline in the manufacturing sector, is also to blame.
Bitcoin’s price is now the lowest it’s been since February, at $54,000, which is still a 23% increase this year.
Ether fell to around $2,300, wiping out all of the currency’s gains for the year.
