White House’s angry threat over planned Trump probes

The White House is going on a pre-emptive offensive against any planned Democrat investigations into the Trump family and other administration figures next year, claiming such probes amount to “blatant criminality”. After their comprehensive victories in the recent midterm elections, during which voters cited “corruption” as one of their top issues in exit polling, the triumphant Democrats have flagged that they will launch multiple probes. US President Donald Trump is facing multiple investigations when the Democrats take control of Congress next year. Nathan Howard In a newly-published letter, White House legal counsel Will Scharf warned Democratic Representative Robert Garcia, the incoming head of the powerful House Oversight Committee, that the probes could potentially b...

A blue tsunami just hit the US. Trump may unleash ‘tremendous powers’ to get around it

Heading into the midterm elections, there were predictions of a blue wave crashing over the United States. The forecasts proved conservative, in more ways than one; a tsunami of Democratic support destroyed the Republican stranglehold on the House and Senate, and with it, Donald Trump’s control of Congress. But what does it actually mean for the president? First up, it shows just how unpopular he and his administration are. This was Trump’s first electoral test since his emphatic victory over Kamala Harris in 2024, and he repeatedly urged voters to vote as if his name were on the ballot. The results are damning: Huge swings against the Republicans in districts Trump easily carried two years ago; a swath of House seats flipping to the Democrats; crucially, at least six ...

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.

His apparent sleep took place even as Energy Secretary Chris Wright spoke loudly while clutching Trump’s chair. At some points, Trump’s head was turned away from the person speaking, his eyes shut.

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...

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. In spite of their reputations as Trump acolytes, Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene said they will vote to release the Epstein files. (AP) Leavitt added: "I'm not go...
