Donald Trump appears to fall asleep again in Oval Office meeting

Donald Trump appears to have fallen asleep again at another Oval Office event, even as people standing right next to him were talking.

Major boost to Donald Trump’s grand ballroom ambitions

When Donald Trump knocked down the East Wing of the White House without authorisation, few Republican politicians were willing to publicly back his ambitious renovations. But after the major security breach during the White House Correspondents' dinner on Saturday, they have changed their tune. Soon after, an armed gunman allegedly tried to kill the president, Trump said the scare justified the need for a ballroom in the White House. Work begins on the demolition of a part of the East Wing of the White House in October last year. (AP) And now prominent Republicans are agreeing with him. Senator Rand Paul, a prominent conservative who has often clashed with the Trump administration, will introduce legislation to allow the ballroom to go ahead. "Tomorr...

White House pressuring Republicans not to vote on releasing Epstein files

Top Trump administration officials have met with a key GOP lawmaker about an effort in the US House to force a vote on releasing Justice Department case files related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to multiple sources familiar with the meeting. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt acknowledged the meeting later Wednesday when asked about reporting that administration officials were huddling with GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert. "Doesn't that show the level of transparency when we are willing to sit down with members of Congress and address their concerns?" she told reporters at the press briefing.

Trump once called for ‘aggressive action’ against TikTok. Now the White House has joined the app

The White House has officially joined TikTok, despite US President Donald Trump previously calling for "aggressive action" against the social media platform. He even signed an executive order in 2020, during his first term in the Oval Office, suggesting the Chinese-owned app was a threat to national security. But Trump's attitude changed around the time of the 2024 Presidential election, when he and former Vice President Kamala Harris both campaigned extensively on the platform.

President Donald Trump fires inspectors general from more than a dozen federal agencies

President Donald Trump fired the inspectors general from more than a dozen federal agencies in a Friday night purge, according to a Trump administration official, paving the way for him to install his own picks for the independent watchdog roles.
