The leader of a United Nations agency announced her resignation Sunday, hours after a NY Times story showed how her agency had put tens of millions at risk by entrusting its entire investment portfolio to a British businessman she met at a party. https://t.co/pI7VrQ1vin — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: Hours after this story posted, the leader of this U.N. agency told employees she had stepped down. https://t.co/pI7VrPJm4f — PolitiTweet.org

Front page today: At a United Nations agency, officials had an extra $61 million to spend. Officials weren’t sure what to do with it. Then they met a man at a party. https://t.co/pI7VrQ0XsP — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: At a obscure UN agency, officials had $61 million, and didn’t know what to do with it. Then they met a man at a party. Now, they have a lot less. https://t.co/pI7VrQ1vin — PolitiTweet.org

What’s hidden here? Power. Unless you dug into state and county records, you wouldn’t know that Crime Stoppers has financial connections w/both the GOP Gov and the Dem judges. Both can use their power to send Crime Stoppers money. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s story is from Houston, where the nonprofit Crime Stoppers has a huge amount of trust & influence (take it from a HOU native!). They've now jumped into a political debate about crime -- lauding the GOP gov, and blaming elected Dem judges.... 3/ https://t.co/mE0OTdQfIB — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: In Houston, a beloved Crime Stoppers nonprofit has made a startling leap into politics --blasting Dem judges and lauding the GOP governor. Behind the scenes, those positions mirrored changes in its funding. https://t.co/mE0OTdQfIB — PolitiTweet.org
