And from another report on the same brag

In his 1992 biography, among the revelations Fox News Channel host Geraldo Rivera disclosed was that he had slept with 1,000 women at a young age. Among his conquests was actress Bette Midler. Asked about her sexual adventure with Rivera, Midler said that the experience was “nothing to write home about.”

I'll bet that hurt more than the few hundred thou billionaire Harvey shelled out to silence his accusers.

What does that have to do with Rivera reporting about what he found on Puerto Rico...where his family lives? Nothing, nothing at all.

What does that have to do with reports from the Governor of Puerto Rico who reports that his every request is being honored by President Trump?

The United States can't spend one dime from the federal treasury....without money being appropriated by the Congress of the United States. Got it NOW!

Congress approves $36.5-billion disaster aid for Puerto Rico, wildfires and hurricane relief
Lisa Mascaro

Congress gave final passage Tuesday to $36.5 billion in disaster aid for Puerto Rico and several states impacted by a particularly destructive hurricane season.

The package includes $576.5 million to address the devastating wildfires in California and the West.

It is the second – but not likely final – allotment of emergency funds after a succession of deadly hurricanes battered Texas, Florida and other Southern states. It is the first allotment for Puerto Rico.

The government of Pureto Rico let that contract, not President Trump or anyone who works for President Trump.

But we may never know the full toll.

The Puerto Rican government told BuzzFeed News Friday that it allowed 911 bodies to be cremated since Hurricane Maria made landfall, and that not one of them were physically examined by a government medical examiner to determine if it should be included in the official death toll.

Every one of the 911 died of "natural causes" not related to the devastating storm, said Karixia Ortiz Serrano, a spokesperson for the Department of Public Safety who is also speaking for the Institute of Forensic Sciences — which is in charge of confirming hurricane deaths. The "natural causes" designations were made by reviewing records, not actually examining the bodies, she said.

The government's revelation comes after BuzzFeed News reported earlier Friday that directors of funeral homes and crematoriums in two municipalities were permitted by the government to burn the bodies of many people the directors thought died as a result of the hurricane — without a government pathologist examining the corpses first to determine if they should be counted in the official death toll.

The current death toll stands at 51. Twenty of those official deaths were cremations.

The death toll has become a critically important indicator of how relief efforts are going — because President Trump made it one. It is also important for families of victims to claim federal relief aid.
