President Trump and Republicans Deliver for South Carolina Families
Today, President Donald J. Trump returns to South Carolina to celebrate the powerful results of America First leadership. Under President Trump and Republicans, South Carolina is thriving: the largest tax cuts for working families in a generation, the most secure border in history, plunging crime rates, unleashed American energy, and a surge of private investment creating jobs and opportunity across the Palmetto State.
Historic Tax Relieffor Working Families and Seniors
President Trump's Working Families Tax Cuts put real money back into the pocket of South Carolina workers, families, and seniors.
* No Tax on Overtime: One in four South Carolina workers no longer pay federal income taxes on qualifying overtime pay.
* No Tax on Social Security: Approximately one million South Carolina seniors benefit from the new senior deduction.
* Bigger Refunds: South Carolina taxpayers saw average tax refunds reach $3,476.
* Rural Health Investments: South Carolina secured more than $200 million in first-year funding through the Rural Health Transformation Program.
* Protecting South Carolina's Economy: The Working Families Tax Cuts safeguarded 86,000 South Carolina jobs, $15 billion in state GDP, and $8 billion in workers' wages.
Safer Communities
President Trump's law-and-order agenda is delivering safer streets across South Carolina as violent crime falls sharply.
* Statewide homicides dropped more than 18% in 2025 -- and fell another 21% in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period the prior year.
* Statewide aggravated assaults fell over 12% in 2025 and 18% in the first half of 2026.

* Statewide robberies dropped over 21% in 2025 and 24% in the first half of 2026.
* In Charleston, overall crime plunged 36% in 2025, with homicides, aggravated assaults, robberies, and sex offenses all well below the five-year average.
Billions in New Private Investment
President Trump's America First economic agenda -- tax cuts, energy dominance, secure borders, and pro-growth policies -- has ignited a private investment surge in South Carolina.
* Eaton announced a $340 million investment to expand U.S. production of critical transformers in Jonesville.
* NorthMark Strategies announced a $2.8 billion investment to build a state-of-the-art high-performance computing center in Spartanburg.

Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jonathan Farber et al., No. 24-cv-00273 (S.D.N.Y. filed Jan. 12, 2024)
On August 20, 2026, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a final consent judgment as to defendant Brian Keasberry in a previously-filed action alleging a fraudulent microcap scheme.
The Commission's complaint, filed on January 12, 2024, alleged that Keasberry and two co-defendants carried out a fraudulent scheme to profit from theiraccumulation, manipulation, and sale of the stock of a small publicly traded company to retail investors. The SEC alleged that, from September 2017 to at least October 2021, Keasberry helped his two co-defendants to gain control of the company and a large amount of the company's stock available in public markets. According to the complaint, Keasberry operated companies, which were used to make payments for an online promotional campaign that touted the stock's great potential but concealed the fact that the defendants had paid for this promotional campaign, controlled the company, and were actively selling the majority of the freely tradable stock.
Keasberry consented to the entry of a final judgment enjoining him from violating Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, ordering him to pay disgorgement of $37,500, prejudgment interest of $12,864, a civil penalty of $37,500, and imposing a penny stock bar and an officer-and-director bar against him.
The SEC's ongoing litigation is being handled by Marc Jones and Alfred Day in the SEC's Boston Regional Office.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following litigation release:
* * *
Securities and Exchange Commission v. 1859 Operating, LLC; Centerfire Consulting, LLC; DMMD Marketing, Inc.; DM Sales Consulting, Inc.; The Slade Group, Inc.; Slade Marketing, Inc.; Adam Fieldsted; Dillon Murrow; Alison Slade; Dallin Slade; Duane Slade; and Mason Slade, Misc. Action No. 4:26-MC-00012 (N.D. Tex. filed Aug. 20, 2026)
On August 20, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a subpoena enforcement action in United States District Court for the Northern District ofTexas, seeking an order to compel 1859 Operating, LLC; Centerfire Consulting, LLC; DMMD Marketing, Inc.; DM Sales Consulting, Inc.; The Slade Group, Inc.; Slade Marketing, Inc.; and individuals Adam Fieldsted, Dillon Murrow, Alison Slade, Dallin Slade, Duane Slade, and Mason Slade (together, "the respondents") to comply with outstanding SEC investigative subpoenas.
According to the SEC's application and supporting papers, the SEC issued the subpoenas beginning in April 2024, requiring the respondents to produce documents and provide sworn testimony in the investigation. According to the SEC's filing, the subpoenas were issued to determine whether any persons or entities may have violated the antifraud or other provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with a potential offering fraud involving 1859's offers and sales of fractional undivided working interests in oil leases, through which respondents have raised approximately $42.7 million.
As described in the SEC's application, despite extended deadlines, repeated communications, and multiple agreements to prioritize production, the respondents almost entirely failed to comply with subpoenas by the compliance deadlines. The application alleges that the respondents have produced approximately 8,344 documents out of a universe of what their counsel has stated includes potentially hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of responsive documents. The application further alleges that several respondents have failed to appear for testimony on dates previously agreed to or scheduled pursuant to SEC subpoenas and that on multiple occasions over the last 10 months, respondents' counsel has unilaterally canceled testimony shortly before the testimony was scheduled to occur.
The SEC's application requests that the Court enter an order compelling the respondents to comply with the subpoenas.
The SEC is continuing its fact finding investigation and, to date, has not concluded that any individual or entity has violated the federal securities laws.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 -- The Federal Communications Commission Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau issued the following public notice (WC Docket No. 18-89, ET Docket No. 21-232, EA Docket No. 21-233):
* * *
The Federal Communications Commission's (FCC or Commission) Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB or Bureau) maintains a list of equipment and services (Covered List) that have been determined to "pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States or the security and safety of United States persons."/1 Pursuant to section 2 of the Secure and Trusted CommunicationsNetworks Act of 2019 (Secure Networks Act)/2 and sections 1.50002(a) and 1.50003 of the Commission's rules,/3 PSHSB announces that the Department of War (DoW) has granted Conditional Approvals for certain uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) and routers. Therefore, such devices are exempt from the Covered List.
Additions of UAS and UAS Critical Components, and Routers to the Covered List:
UAS and UAS Critical Components. On December 22, 2025, PSHSB issued a Public Notice adding all UAS and UAS critical components produced in a foreign country to the Covered List./4 This action was based on a National Security Determination from an Executive Branch interagency body, including several appropriate national security agencies, determining (among other things) that UAS and UAS critical components produced in a foreign country pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons. In that Public Notice, we stated, "[i]f we receive a further specific determination from the Department of War or the Department of Homeland Security that a given UAS, class of UAS, or UAS critical component does not pose unacceptable risks, we will further update the Covered List."/5
In January 2026, we updated the Covered List to reflect DoW's determinations that, until January 1, 2027, UAS and UAS critical components included on DoW's Blue UAS Cleared List and UAS and UAS critical components that qualify as "domestic end products" under the Buy American Standard do not pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons./6 In March 2026, we updated the Covered List to reflect the first Conditional Approvals that the FCC received from the DoW, exempting specific UAS and UAS critical components "which have been granted a Conditional Approval by DoW or DHS" from the Covered List./7 Additionally, on June 15, 2026, based on a National Security Determination from DoW, PSHSB updated the Covered List to exempt "Toy Drones" as defined in the National Security Determination and "Toy Drones that contain foreign-produced components."/8
On July 21, 2026, we updated the Covered List to reflect DoW's determination that extended timelines for the exemption of UAS and UAS critical components included on DoW's Blue UAS Cleared List and UAS and UAS critical components that qualify as "domestic end products" under the Buy American Standard to January 1, 2028./9 We also updated the Covered List to reflect DoW's determination that Conditional Approvals for foreign-produced UAS and UAS critical components will not terminate on December 31, 2026, so long as the applicant complies with its approved onshoring plan and updated vetting of the products./10 Additionally, under DoW's determination, a Conditional Approval will terminate--and the device will be restored to the Covered List--if the applicant fails to adhere to the onshoring plan or if the U.S. Government discovers any false statements or misrepresentations in the application./11
Routers. On March 23, 2026, the Commission added to the Covered List "routers produced in a foreign country, except routers which have been granted a Conditional Approval by DoW or DHS."/12 This addition was based on a National Security Determination from an Executive Branch interagency body, including several appropriate national security agencies, determining (among other things) that routers produced in a foreign country pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons./13
Conditional Approvals:
The Executive Branch interagency body established a process by which entities producing UAS and UAS critical components and routers in foreign countries can request DoW or the Department of Homeland Security to evaluate whether such devices do not pose unacceptable risks to national security and receive Conditional Approvals that would exempt such devices from the Covered List. The Commission has updated the Covered List to reflect the Conditional Approvals that we have received from the DoW exempting certain UAS and UAS critical components and routers from the Covered List./14
DoW has reviewed submissions and granted Conditional Approvals for the following devices:
* Ascento, Inc.'s Ascento Guard Dori USA v1 Uncrewed Aircraft System/15
* WNC Corporation's LVR5A, LVM9, and LV85C Wi-Fi Routers (terminating February 21, 2028) The Covered List:
We find that each of the Conditional Approvals constitutes "a specific determination" by DoW that such devices do not pose risks to U.S. national security./16 Therefore, we conclude that PSHSB is required to update the Covered List to exclude the equipment identified in these Conditional Approvals.
PSHSB takes this action under its authority and obligation to publish and maintain the Covered List. Sections 1.50002(a) and 1.50003 of the Commission's rules require PSHSB to publish the Covered List on the Commission's website, to maintain and update the Covered List, and to monitor the status of determinations./17
The Covered List and the list of devices that have received Conditional Approvals are attached as Appendices A and B to this Public Notice and can also be found on the Bureau's website at https://www.fcc.gov/supplychain/coveredlist./18
We note the continued availability of FCC staff guidance pursuant to sections 0.191 and 0.31(i) of the Commission's rules. Commission staff will provide guidance to TCBs, test labs, and equipment authorization applicants on the impact of these updates.

* * *
Energy Department Announces $500 Million Award to Revitalize American Steelmaking
$500 million award will protect 2,300 American jobs and strengthen domestic steel production
-
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced a $500 million award to support a $1 billion investment at Cleveland-Cliffs' Middletown Works facility in Middletown, Ohio. Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright visited Middletown Works today to highlight the Trump Administration'scommitment to American steelworkers and the resurgence of American manufacturing.
The investment will modernize American steelmaking, protect 2,300 American jobs, and strengthen the domestic steel supply chain. The project advances President Trump's commitment to put American workers first, bring investment back to American communities, and strengthen the industries critical to America's economic and national security.
Cleveland-Cliffs determined that the business case for the original project scope no longer made sense given customers' unwillingness to pay a "green premium" for steel. Working with DOE, Cleveland-Cliffs identified a viable alternative that will upgrade and improve the efficiency of the existing coal-fired blast furnace while also capturing and commercializing co-product blast furnace gas (BFG).
"President Trump is rebuilding America's industrial base," said Secretary Wright. "This investment puts American workers and American manufacturing first. It will modernize one of our nation's critical steelmaking facilities, protect thousands of jobs, and strengthen our domestic steel production--keeping Ohio at the heart of American manufacturing and strengthening our national security."
The investment will modernize critical steelmaking operations at Middletown Works by rebuilding and upgrading the plant's main coal-fired ironmaking furnace, deploying AI to optimize furnace operations and improve energy efficiency, and building an on-site facility to convert steel mill process gases into electricity. Follow-on investments will turn industrial byproducts into materials for concrete used in regional infrastructure.
"This landmark investment at Middletown Works will secure a reliable domestic supply of high-purity steel while protecting thousands of quality jobs in Ohio," said Assistant Secretary of Energy Audrey Robertson. "DOE is proud to partner with Cleveland-Cliffs to reduce America's dependence on foreign products and position key domestic industries--including automotive, HVAC, appliance, and steel-distribution industries--for long-term competitiveness."
Cleveland-Cliffs is the largest flat-rolled steel producer in the United States. Middletown Works plays an important role in the nation's manufacturing base, producing steel used in products Americans rely on every day. The facility supplies steel to American manufacturers in the automotive, heating and cooling, appliance, and steel-distribution industries, strengthening a critical domestic supply chain and reducing America's reliance on foreign products. DOE's investment will ensure Middletown Works continues producing American-made steel and supporting high-paying manufacturing jobs for years to come.
Construction on the Middletown Works project is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
