FAA advised Leonardo Feb 8 that they accepted the validation of the EASA Type Cert. FAA Cert was issued Feb 2 (yes, before the validation letter).
TCDS number is R00007RD. I don't know why FAA don't have it on their website.
I asked someone at Leonardo and that is what they were able to tell me.
Happily this doesn't seem to be a case of Alternate Facts or Fake News though
