Sources: President Trump, commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, and White House task force head Andrew Giuliani put together a team of elite lawyers — from outside the government — to challenge the Flo Balogun red card. Specifically they challenged the use of slow motion instant replay to give the red card, which they argued violated FIFA rules. The president also conveyed to Gianni Infantino, FIFA’s president, that the appeal had been filed and he believed the red card penalty was excessive. FIFA’s independent committee reviewed the decision and agreed the penalty was incorrectly given, rescinding it under their rule 27 authority.

@sagesteele Sage, you should feel proud of everything you’ve done and endured. You’ve helped give women a voice and truly stood for what you believe in despite the repercussions. You’re the type of role model I want my daughter to look up to. Thank you
@Michele_Tafoya I have to second that comment. Takes a lot of guts to use your platform to speak up against what is morally corrupt about this country. Standing up for real women’s rights and the pride of being an American. Merry Christmas to you, Michelle!
