Robert Mueller Examining Payments from Putin-Allied Oligarch to Michael Cohen
Robert Mueller Examining Payments from Putin-Allied Oligarch to Michael Cohen
Michael Cohen
Robert Mueller’s team has questioned a Russian oligarch close to Vladimir Putin about large payments he made to Trump attorney Michael Cohen, and the Trump inaugural fund and campaign.
CNN reports: “Viktor Vekselberg, chairman of asset manager Renova Group, is an oligarch close to Vladimir Putin, and last month the Trump administration placed him on a list of sanctioned Russians for activities including election interference. The purpose of the payments, which predate the sanctions, and the nature of the business relationship between Vekselberg and Cohen is unclear…The questions asked of Vekselberg suggest that Mueller investigators have been examining some of Cohen’s business relationships as part of the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.”
The oligarchs questioned by the FBI were stopped and questioned at the airport earlier this year.

Moms For Equality: Sally Field on Why She’ll #FightLikeAMother for LGBTQ Equality
Moms For Equality: Sally Field on Why She’ll #FightLikeAMother for LGBTQ Equality
In honor of Mother’s Day, a star-studded lineup of Moms have joined HRC in advocating and standing up for their own kids and millions of LGBTQ youth across the country.
Today’s post featured below comes from Sally Field, who urges HRC members and supporters to protect young LGBTQ people.
There are three things I’m proudest of in my life … and their names are Peter, Eli and Sam. My remarkable sons.
As most parents will tell you, few things are as rewarding as seeing your child grow into the person they’re meant to be. Each of my boys had their own way of getting there, of course, but it was my Sam whose journey came with a few extra hurdles.
At 20, Sam came out proudly as a gay man: to us and to a world where some still hate you just for being different. Ten years later and that hate seems to have only gotten stronger.
But with you, we can help stop hate in its tracks.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ youth face homelessness. For many, it’s at the hands of their own parents. Others face higher rates of suicide than their peers and struggle with bullying and mental health.
Their crime? Living authentically.
No child should live in fear of revealing their sexuality or gender identity. It is just plain common sense — but it won’t change until people speak out. That’s why I’m raising my voice with HRC. Will you join me?
Whether you are LGBTQ yourself, a mother, a father, or just a great person with strong convictions about what’s fair and right, I hope I’ve convinced you to stand with HRC and all the Moms for Equality.
Please join HRC today and help ensure LGBTQ youth never have to suffer in silence.
Whether you’re a Mom for Equality, a parent, a friend or part of the LGBTQ community, we hope that you join HRC and snag a limited-edition ”Fight Like a Mother” t-shirt today.

HRC’s Welcoming Schools Honors Educator Kristen Scott for Teacher Appreciation Week
HRC’s Welcoming Schools Honors Educator Kristen Scott for Teacher Appreciation Week
Post submitted by Kimmie Fink, Welcoming Schools Consultant
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, HRC Foundation’s Welcoming Schools is highlighting the outstanding educators within our ranks. On Teacher Appreciation Day, we are proud to celebrate one special standout: Wisconsin fifth grade teacher Kristen Scott. As an ally to the LGBTQ community, an advocate for human rights and a champion of our program and her students, Scott embodies everything we stand for at Welcoming Schools.
Scott works at Nuestro Mundo Community School, a dual-language immersion school in Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD). She has nurtured a classroom environment where children feel proud of their identities, creating events for students including a “Be Who You Are” party and her annual “Where I’m From” poetry slam. She has been instrumental in implementing the Welcoming Schools program at Nuestro Mundo — one of two MMSD schools to earn the Welcoming Schools Seal of Excellence this year.
“[Kristen Scott] consistently takes an intersectional approach, making sure that we are providing access to Welcoming Schools topics to Spanish-speaking families,” said Jennifer Herdina, MMSD Welcoming Schools lead. “Many families have expressed that they are now more understanding of the issues and supportive of the conversations and lessons that Maestra Scott is engaging in with her class.”
Scott has been recognized often for her exceptional commitment and work with students. In 2015, Scott was named Bilingual Teacher of the Year by the Wisconsin Association for Bilingual Education. She made Madison Magazine’s M List 2016, a “who’s who” of mentors and teachers making a substantial impact on local culture. Most recently, Scott earned the title Educator of the Year for 2018 by GSAFE, a local organization dedicated to creating LGBTQ-inclusive schools for youth and a proud partner of Welcoming Schools.
We are proud to call Scott one of our own. Teachers like Scott make our vision of schools where all children and youth across the country can thrive a reality. Teacher Appreciation Week is a wonderful opportunity to honor the educators who work with us creating welcoming and inclusive schools because they know it is right and best for their students.
HRC Foundation’s Welcoming Schools is the nation’s premier professional development program providing training and resources to elementary school educators to:
- Welcome diverse families;
- Create LGBTQ and gender-inclusive schools;
- Prevent bias-based bullying;
- Support transgender and non-binary students.
