Claudia Perez, Carmen Quiñones, and Manny Martinez were three of four featured tenants in the video, which was an interview with Lynne Patton, head of the New York office of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The fourth participant told The Times when reached for comment that she did support Trump and knew the purpose of the video. Quiñones, however, told The Times that the interview was focused on airing frustrations with problems in the housing agency, and the tenants' edited comments offer harsh criticisms of Mayor Bill de Blasio. Despite their frustrations with the Democratic mayor, they told The Times they had no intention of supporting Trump. "I am not a Trump supporter," Perez told The Times. "I am not a supporter of his racist policies on immigration. I am a first-generation Honduran. It was my people he was sending back."Patton hit back at the story and Times reporter Matthew Haag on Twitter, where she said "each resident is on unused tape thanking @POTUS for the "RNC platform" to highlight inhumane conditions &amp; improvements made under this Admin," she wrote. The Times noted that as a government official, Patton is barred by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-chief-of-staff-says-nobody-cares-hatch-act-violations-2020-8">the Hatch Act from using her position to participate in political campaigns</a>.She said in a subsequent tweet that said "every resident" of New York City Housing Authority "knows that I would never allow the @GOPconvention to air anything with which they felt uncomfortable &amp; showed the draft video - in full - to the resident organizer PRIOR to its airing and was told by them that it was 'amazing' and 'wholly accurate.'"The conflict over the clip is just the latest of Trump's contributions to this week's convention that raised eyebrows including <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-abused-the-powers-of-the-presidency-a-the-republican-convention-2020-8">a feature of immigrants who became US citizens</a> in a naturalization process but <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/immigrants-trump-naturalization-ceremony-werent-told-was-part-of-rnc-2020-8">weren't told the ceremony would be aired as part of the convention</a>. Watchdog group <a href="https://twitter.com/CREWcrew/status/1298449272648749056" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington</a> said on Twitter that the ceremony was "so obviously, blatantly, insultingly a Hatch Act violation that it's starting to seem like the Trump administration is going out of its way to find new ways to violate the law."

"We know this is something we need to do," Manchin told reporters Monday. "I mean, this is as important as anything we've done."

Los Angeles, Apr 16 () As a tribute to his grandmother who died from the coronavirus, "Saturday Night Live" actor Michael Che is paying one month rent for 160 apartments in the building she lived.Martha, the comic's grandmother, passed away due the COVID-19 infection on April 6. Che shared the announcement on Instagram on Wednesday."It's crazy to me that residents of public housing are still expected to pay their rent when so many New Yorkers can't even work. "Obviously, I can't offer much help by myself. But in the spirit and memory of my late grandmother, I'm paying one month's rent for all 160 apartments in the NYCHA building she lived in. I know that's just a drop in the bucket," the actor wrote.He also slammed the authorities for making public housing residents pay rent during the pandemic, which has brought countries across the globe to a standstill."I really hope the city has a better plan for debt forgiveness for all the people in public housing, AT THE VERY LEAST," he said.Towards the end of his post, he called on New York City mayor Bill de Blasio and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to page him.Che also reached out to rapper Diddy, whose charity dance-a-thon recently raised over USD 3.7 million for COVID-19 relief efforts, to join in."Lets fix this!" the actor wrote.Last Monday, Che shared the news of his grandmother's death on social media. "I'm obviously very hurt and angry that she had to go through all that pain alone. But I'm also happy that she's not in pain anymore," he said.The actor-comic also paid homage to his late grandmother during a remote episode of "SNL" on April 11. RDSRDS

"That's why we're excited to announce several new developments since we were last before the City Council."First up was an announcement that it has begun the process of reaching out to small businesses in the Long Island City area to discuss partnerships. Since Amazon does not provide catered lunch, Amazon employees would need lunch options, which local businesses could provide. Amazon also pledged to hire residents of New York City's public housing projects, focusing on Queensbridge, Ravenswood, Woodside, and Astoria Houses, which are near Amazon's proposed location. "Today, we are announcing that we are beginning a program to hire NYCHA residents for jobs in our award-winning customer service department," Huseman said. "This program is not only good for Long Island City and NYCHA residents, but it's good for Amazon, and we're excited to access this terrific talent pool."These are technically the first confirmed jobs that have been announced for HQ2.Amazon also announced it will help develop a certificate program for local colleges CUNY and SUNY. The program is focused on cloud computing technology, and Amazon says it will enable students to reach entry-level jobs in a fast-growing field. Classes will begin in the fall, it said.The other education initiative is focused on New York high schools, integrating with the Amazon Future Engineer program. The company said it will partner with 130 high schools to enable enhanced consumer science curriculum and scholarships for students.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-mailed-nyc-residents-ads-touting-the-benefits-of-its-hq2-2019-1">Amazon mailed NYC residents ads touting the benefits of HQ2 as the battle with the city council heats up</a>Many city council members were unimpressed with Amazon's offers.Jimmy Van Bramer, who represents the district where Amazon's HQ2 will reside, was particularly critical.

She originally supported Nixon, who first came into the public eye as one of the stars of the hit HBO series "Sex and the City," but ultimately changed her mind.&#xa0;Schumer announced she's voting for Cuomo via an Instagram post in which she encouraged people to head to the polls. She said Cuomo "isn't my fav dude" but contended he's a good governor."I wanted to vote&#xa0;Nixon, but sadly, i don't believe she would know what the heck to do," Schumer added. "She needs to be able to pressure the state legislature in stuff but I don't believe she has enough connections upstate.

In March, NYCHA officials <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/federal-aid-reduced-for-new-york-city-housing-authority-1488844639?tesla=y">told</a> The Wall Street Journal that HUD may slash up to $150 million in funding from its programs - the largest decrease in five years.The states of New York and New Jersey rely on HUD's programs to provide vital social services, disaster recovery, and investments in critical infrastructure.
