New revelations about the Donald Trump era continue to be revealed, it was only on Thursday that the federal government revealed new details on the 2016 Trump campaign's collusion with Russia.
But the New York Times editor who literally wrote the book on Trump and Deutsche bank is worried about one of his sources.
David Enrich, author of Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump, and an Epic Trail of Destruction, posted a plea for help on Twitter.
"Val Broeksmit -- a longtime source about Deutsche Bank -- is missing," Enrich tweeted, complete with Broeksmit's @BikiniRobotArmy handle.
"He was last seen on April 6 in Los Angeles, his girfriend says," Enrich reported.

"I am very worried about Val's safety. Please spread the word," Enrich urged.

GOP leadership scrambles after 'nativist dog whistles' from the new 'White Nationalism Caucus'
April 16, 2021
Republican leadership engaged in damage control on Friday after some of the most extreme members of the House of Representatives formed a new caucus to support Angelo-Saxon heritage.
The caucus -- which has the support of Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) -- has been panned as a "White Nationalism Caucus."
GOP leadership scrambled to claim that the party once led by Donald Trump is not racist.
"America is built on the idea that we are all created equal and success is earned through honest, hard work. It isn't built on identity, race, or religion. The Republican Party is the party of Lincoln & the party of more opportunity for all Americans—not nativist dog whistles," House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tweeted.
House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) also attempted to clean up the mess.
"Republicans believe in equal opportunity, freedom, and justice for all. We teach our children the values of tolerance, decency and moral courage. Racism, nativism, and anti-Semitism are evil. History teaches we all have an obligation to confront & reject such malicious hate," Cheney urged.
