Donald Trump has opened up about the negative toll his New York hush money trial has taken on his family, particularly his wife, Melania Trump.
Trump shared that the trial, in which he has now been found guilty, has been "very hard" on the former First Lady, providing a stark contrast to the stoic public image she had projected all along.
Donald Trump became the first ex-president to be convicted of a felony crime, but his lead counsel, Todd Blanche, has revealed that they plan to appeal the verdict as soon as possible.

“Where’s Melania” became a consistent question from the press for some months now; however, it looks like she’s allegedly had a change of heart where Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is concerned.
It seems that she’s now “all in” when it comes to his bid to once again become the next U.S. President, and according to one source, everyone will see her on the campaign trail a lot more.
A “Much Different” Melania Trump
Republican Party insiders revealed to Page Six that since the recent Florida fundraiser, a very different Melania Trump has arrived on the scene.
In fact, the inside source notes that Melania surfaced as the main star at the Republican fundraiser that took place at John Paulson’s $100-million Palm Beach house.
They note that her usual “serious” demeanor had vanished, and Melania seemingly never stopped smiling while being talkative and charming to all guests.

Former White House physician and current House Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) left the West Wing in 2019 amid a fog of allegations of inappropriate workplace conduct and alcohol abuse while on the job. Since his departure, he’s claimed the rank of a retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral in his public statements, but according to a report from The Washington Post, Jackson was quietly demoted in 2022 to the rank of Captain after the release of a scathing report on his behavior by the Pentagon’s inspector general.

If you ever looked at the actions of the Trump White House and wondered, ‘Are they on drugs?’ — the answer was, in some cases, yes. Absolutely, yes.
In January, the Defense Department’s inspector general released a report detailing how the White House Medical Unit during the Trump administration distributed controlled substances with scant oversight and even sloppier record keeping. Investigators repeatedly noted that the unit had ordered thousands and thousands of doses of the stimulant modafinil, which has been used by military pilots for decades to stay alert during long missions.

Regardless of your feelings toward him, one thing is certain: Donald Trump has actually succeeded in reviving our political interest in the country. Sure, the 45th president of the United States can be bold and forthright at times, and he occasionally does things that are highly offensive and wholly inappropriate, but he is not at all ‘boring’.
He holds nothing back when discussing subjects, which draws you in, compels you to listen, and causes you to think about ideas you might not have otherwise. However, in one of his previous dinner outings with his wife (Melania Trump), the former president became the hot topic of discussion yet again. While dining at a high-end restaurant, onlookers could not help but notice Trump’s immature behavior, which resembled that of a toddler playing with an iPad.

Rep. George Santos (R-NY) was expelled from Congress today, as enough Republicans joined with Democrats to oust the lawmaker who is facing criminal charges and a devastating ethics committee report.
The House vote came after GOP leaders announced their opposition to his ouster. That raised the prospect that he could survive the vote. But in the end, there were 311 votes to expel, well clearing the 2/3 threshold needed: 105 Republicans and 206 Democrats voted to oust him; 112 Republicans and two Democrats voted against the resolution. Two Democrats also voted present.
Santos, wearing a coat over his shoulders, left the House chamber before the vote was made official. With reporters chasing him, he got in a waiting car and left Capitol grounds. According to CNN, he said, “Why would I want to stay here? To hell with this place.”

Melania Trump had “quietly” renegotiated her prenup with Donald Trump – for the third time.
As has long been rumored, Melania has been in a tough negotiation with her husband to improve the conditions of her agreement with the notoriously stingy ex-president.
Page Six reports that this was not only specifically because of Trump, 77, potentially serving a second term in the White House but also due to his recent legal battles.
These legal troubles include potential payouts in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ (D-New York) $240 million civil case against Trump and his real estate business, and the court order for him to pay $5 million to E. Jean Carrol for defamation.
Trump pleaded not guilty to James’ case and is currently in the damages phase of Carroll’s second defamation case against him.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office right now is laying out its case against Trump, arguing that the 130,000 paid to Daniels, an adult-film actress, in 2016 constituted violations of election and business-records laws.

This summer, Donald Trump is taking something that began during his presidency to a whole new level. His dalliance with content connected to QAnon — the deranged pro-Trump conspiracy theory that features tales of powerful Democrats running a pedophilic secret society — has gone from a game of footsie to what appears to be an open embrace. But if you ask members of the ex-president’s inner orbit why this is happening now, you get a mix of responses, including abject confusion.

It’s been reported that one of the documents recovered in the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago was the source of Donald Trump’s boasting that he had private intelligence regarding the sex life of French President Emmanuel Macron.
An internal FBI list summarizing seized materials begins with item 1a: “info re: President of France,” with little confirmation on what else was within them.
Trump has reportedly told close associates about the information according sources who spoke to Rolling Stone, but it’s unclear if these recovered files have anything to do with potential details on Macron’s sex life.
The source did insist, however, that it’s “hard to tell if he’s bullsh––ting or not.”

MsNBC Makes It Official: Jen Psaki To Join Network In Fall, Will Host New Show For Streaming Channel
Jen Psaki will join MSNBC this fall, as the network made the official announcement of her plans following her tenure as White House press secretary.
Psaki will appear across all the network’s programs, and also will have a role on NBC and during MSNBC’s primetime election coverage during the midterms and the 2024 presidential election. MSNBC said that she also is developing a program for the network’s streaming channel.
News of Psaki’s move to MSNBC leaked in April, as she was still press secretary, but she declined to confirm it publicly. She held her last White House press briefing on May 13.
Her move to MSNBC is not unusual, as there has been a revolving door between presidential administrations and cable news gigs. Symone Sanders, who served as chief spokesperson to Vice President Kamala Harris, recently launched an MSNBC weekend show, Symone, that also appears on the network’s Peacock streaming channel.

The hosts of “The View” may wholeheartedly support and encourage people masking up in public areas, but that doesn’t mean they support snitching on those who don’t. In fact, on Friday’s show, the table mostly condemned NPR’s attempt to create what the women called a “snitch hotline.”
In a memo sent out on Thursday, NPR informed their employees that a tip line has been created for anyone who wants to express “anonymous concern” about co-workers who aren’t masking up in the office, as Covid cases begin to rise again. And for the most part, the hosts of “The View” were not fans of the idea.
“I would never do that,” Joy Behar said. “I’m Italian, we don’t snitch. We don’t snitch.”
Both Sara Haines and guest host Dan Abrams called the idea “ridiculous” as well, with Abrams arguing, “We’re at a different point in Covid now.

Jen Psaki held her 224th and final briefing as White House press secretary on Friday and fought back tears as she thanked President Joe Biden, members of the administration and the press staff.
Karine Jean-Pierre, who has served as principal deputy press secretary, will succeed Psaki, who has been in the role for the past 15 months.
In remarks on her tenure, Psaki recounted meeting with Biden and Jill Biden shortly after the election and being “very nervous” when she went to see them.
“Really what we talked about for the majority of our conversation was the importance of returning integrity, respect and civility to the White House,” Psaki said. “The small sliver of my job here and in engaging with all of you, that does not mean that we haven’t let our Irish side show — mine and the president’s as well from time to time. I recognize that.

Near the beginning of Donald Trump’s time in office, the then-president had a pressing question for his national-security aides and administration officials: Does China have the secret technology — a weapon, even — to create large, man-made hurricanes and then launch them at the United States? And if so, would this constitute an act of war by a foreign power, and could the U.S. retaliate militarily? Then-President Trump repeatedly asked about this, according to two former senior administration officials and a third person briefed on the matter.

The hosts of “The View” argued that Fauci he became a “scapegoat.”
Guest host and ex-Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham also admitted that she was actively prevented from handling official White House communications on Covid at one point.

“The View” hosts were particularly on edge Wednesday morning, and by midshow they erupted into an all-out yelling match. This time, the topic of discussion was U.S. immigration policy.
As the women discussed the topic, guest host and former Trump White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham noted that, because she lived in Arizona for two decades, she doesn’t believe the U.S. should have open borders.
“In the previous administration — I’ll just say it that way — we had a zero tolerance, ‘You need to go back, and you need to come into this country legally,’ which I agree with,” Grisham said. “I think that this country, mostly, agrees that Dreamers need a path to citizenship. People are welcome here with open arms, as long as they come here legally. But when people are just able to cross the borders willy-nilly, there’s also a criminal element.”

‘The View’ Host Whoopi Goldberg Calls Out Elon Musk for ‘Dangerous’ Tesla Roadside Assistance Issues
Whoopi Goldberg had a bone to pick with Elon Musk and Tesla cars on Tuesday. During the morning’s episode of “The View,” the host called out Tesla’s current roadside assistance program, and implored Elon Musk to create a better one.
According to Goldberg, she had some trouble while driving her Tesla on Monday, and discovered that the electric vehicles don’t provide drivers with a spare tire (nor do they come with run-flats). She also noted that Tesla tells its users to email the company if they need support, rather than being able to talk to someone directly.
So, Goldberg took a moment to call out to Tesla CEO Elon Musk directly.
“It seems like a crazy problem. But the truth of the matter is, had this happened to me on top of a road on some mountain, I would be very frightened,” Whoopi said. “And you, Elon,...

Ana Navarro unleashed on Stephanie Grisham and the rest of the panel on “The View” on Friday, criticizing the idea that anyone could justify an association with Donald Trump, at any point.
During the second segment of the show, Navarro asked guest host Stephanie Grisham, who worked in multiple roles in the Trump administration, why it took so long for her to resign. Host Sunny Hostin asked the same question earlier this week, prompting Grisham to double down on her answer.
“I know it’s hard to believe, but I believed in him and half the country believed in him,” Grisham said. “And I think that when you keep attacking me, you’re attacking a lot of people out there who might want an off-ramp. And it shows that.”

In her second day guest hosting “The View,” former Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham opened up about why she stuck around in his administration as long as she did. Then, she outright apologized.
In the first “Hot Topics” discussion of the day, the panel of women dug in on recent convictions and sentencing of those involved with the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. The hosts then turned to Grisham, asking point blank if she knew about the events of the day in advance.
Grisham said she didn’t, but admitted she had a “feeling” something was up. As the conversation progressed, host Sunny Hostin got a bit blunt.
“I have to ask, why did it take an insurrection to get you to quit?” she questioned.
“It’s a great, fair question,” Grisham responded. “I tried to resign many times. When I got to the West Wing, I realized it was a really bad environment.

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham admitted on Tuesday that her 14-year-old son expressed his disappointment about where she used to work — and she doesn’t blame him.
During Tuesday morning’s episode of “The View,” the panel of women began discussing Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which has passed through the Florida Senate and is headed to Governor Ron DeSantis’s desk (who is expected to sign it into law). As the women dug in on all that it entails, host Sunny Hostin blamed its creation on the former president, dinging Grisham for working for Trump in the first place.
“We have been on this path, I’m sorry, since your boss… your former boss took office,” Hostin said. “He started saying the quiet part out loud, the discrimination became transparent and blatant. And this is the result of it.”

“One year ago today, in this sacred place, democracy was attacked, simply attacked,” President Joe Biden began from the Capitol’s Statuary Hall marking in a speech marking the anniversary of Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Biden did not mince words about who was to blame for the riot.
“For the first time in our history, a president had not just lost an election, he tried to prevent a peaceful transition of power as a violent mob reached the Capitol,” Biden said. “But they failed. They failed. On this day of remembrance,...

Mike Pence’s office is cooperating the the Jan. 6 committee.
Axios reported on Wednesday that “many” figures around the former vice president have voluntarily testified, including his former chief of staff, Marc Short, and his former press secretary, Alyssa Farrah. Keith Kellogg, Pence’s national security adviser who was subpoenaed by the committee in November, also gave a deposition.
One of Axios’ sources said that neither Short nor Kellogg would have cooperated without first getting the green light from Pence himself.
Short, Farrah, and Kellogg aren’t the only staffers to cooperate.

Stephen Colbert doesn’t always want to talk about Donald Trump, whom Colbert called “Scrooge McSchmuck” on Tuesday night, but sometimes the news forces him to engage with the former president. On the latest episode of “The Late Show,” the news was about former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham’s gossipy new tell-all book. Grisham worked in the White House for almost all of Donald Trump’s presidency, only resigning after the Jan. 6 insurrection, and she infamously never gave one single press conference during her nine-month tenure as press secretary. She’s now written a book called “I’ll Take Your Questions Now” – or as Colbert calls it, “I Just Recently Grew a Spine.”
Colbert said that he didn’t want his show to help Grisham sell any books, so he would spoil all the good parts so viewers didn’t have to buy “I’ll Take Your Money...

As former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham has started appearing in the media with the publication of her new book, she wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post on Tuesday that elaborated on her breakup with her boyfriend, Max Miller, one of Donald Trump’s aides.
Grisham claimed that he became physically abusive as she ended their relationship, but he has responded by filing a defamation lawsuit against her on Tuesday.
In the op-ed and her book, I’ll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw at the Trump White House, Grisham doesn’t identify Miller by name, but he claims in his lawsuit that it is “widely publicly known” that she is referring to him.

Stephanie Grisham, former White House press secretary under Donald Trump and chief of staff to then First Lady Melania Trump, began her book tour on Monday with an appearance on Good Morning America, and host George Stephanopoulos started off with the “inevitable first question, what took you so long?”
Grisham resigned on January 6, the day of the Capitol siege, but her new book, I’ll Take Your Questions Now, to be published on Tuesday, is a scathing portrait of the Trump White House. While the pre-publication publicity has included all sorts of bombshell revelations through the years that Grisham was a loyal aide to the Trumps, she stayed.
“That’s a fair question, and that’s a complicated question,” Grisham said. “I went into the Trump campaign a true believe and a true loyalist.” She added that she didn’t see the full measure of the chaos of Trump White House when,...

Jimmy Kimmel opened Tuesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” with some jokes about Donald Trump’s colonoscopy that he didn’t get to tell when it happened because the former President allegedly kept it a secret. As a result of his subterfuge, Kimmel and his late-night counterparts were prevented from telling jokes about it when the procedure took place during Trump’s presidency.
Former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham recently published a book about her time in the Trump administration, “I’ll Take Your Questions Now,” that contains some of the most gossipy revelations about Trump yet. One, he apparently cuts his own hair with a giant pair of scissors. Two, after the Stormy Daniels allegations came out, Trump called Grisham to tell her Daniels’ description of his penis was inaccurate.

The ABC late-night host got a fresh batch of insider info from former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham’s new book called I’ll Take Your Questions Now, which is set for publication via HarperCollins on October 5. “It turns out,” he deadpanned, “this Trump character is real nuts.”
Kimmel most connected with Grisham’s story about President Trump receiving a colonoscopy. “I feel cheated because when a president, especially this President, gets a colonoscopy, it is my duty to make jokes about it,” he said.
He then wasted no time getting to the jokes.
“The President went to Walter Reed Hospital for a colonoscopy today. It took a while because the doctor kept accidentally sticking the camera in his mouth,” he said. “As soon as they switched the camera on, Trump turned around and said,...

Hope Hicks, one of President Trump’s longtime advisers and former Fox. Corp. communications chief, has departed the White House, according to CNN. Her last day was reportedly Tuesday.
Reports of her pending exit first emerged on Jan. 8. Bloomberg reporter Jennifer Jacobs, citing sources familiar with the matter, noted that Hicks had told colleagues the upcoming exit did not stem from the violent insurrection by pro-Trump extremists at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, but as part of a previously planned departure, given the end of Trump’s term after losing his bid for re-election.
Hicks did not respond to Variety‘s request for comment.
After departing her post at the White House – for the first time – as communications director in 2018, Hicks had a brief, year-long foray in Hollywood circles, moving to Los Angeles and joining Fox Corp. as executive vice president and chief communications officer in early 2019. She boarded...

Here is DeVos’ resignation latter to Trump:
“We should be highlighting and celebrating your Administration’s many accomplishments on behalf of the American people. Instead, we are left to clean up the mess cause by violent protestors overrunning the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to undermine the people’s business. That behavior was unconscionable for our country. There is no mistaking the impact your rhetoric had on the situation, and it is the inflection point for me.

Washington, Dec 6 (Ians) The White House has planned to host a series of indoor holiday parties, despite warnings from top health officials regarding the unabated coronavirus resurgence across the country, according to media reports.
An NBC News report said that one such party was held on December 1 where President Donald Trump made a brief appearance.
According to the report, several people in attendence were without face masks, including Republican National Convention chair Ronna McDaniel, who has tested positive for the virus in September, just few days before the President had confirmed his diagnosis.
Shrugging off concerns over the indoor gatherings, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters: "If you can loot businesses, burn down buildings, engage in protests, you can also go to a Christmas party. You can celebrate the holiday of Christmas, and you can do it responsibly.
"We will engage in the celebration of Christmas."

As startling as it was to hear President Donald Trump refuse to commit to a peaceful transfer of power in this year’s election, what was surprising was how he came to make the remark.
Responding to a question from Playboy’s Brian Karem on Wednesday, Trump said: “We’re going to have to see what happens. You know that. I have been complaining very strongly about the ballots, and the ballots are a disaster.” Watch their exchange below.
The president’s answer quickly dominated cable news coverage, drew sharp rebuke from his Democratic rival Joe Biden and eventually saw a number of Senate Republicans push back — albeit without using Trump’s name.
By Thursday afternoon, the consternation over the remark became so great that the Senate passed a resolution by unanimous consent reaffirming that, after November 3, there would be a peaceful transfer of power.

First Lady Melania Trump will speak to the Republican National Convention on Tuesday from a location perhaps unlike any other previous party gathering: the White House Rose Garden.
It’s anticipated that her speech will tie in with her “Be Best” initiative, but networks likely will compare her remarks to those she delivered in 2016. Back then, her speech triggered a bit of a convention sideshow when it was revealed that portions of the speech were taken from Michelle Obama’s 2008 convention address.
The first lady’s spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, told MSNBC on Tuesday that every word of the first lady’s speech on Tuesday night will be from her, and that it will be uplifting and positive.
The speech also will be an unveiling of the newly renovated Rose Garden, and as things tend to go these days, that, too, has been the subject of some controversy. Critics decried the removal of 10 crabapple trees,...

This week a photographer captured an image in the White House briefing room that quickly got the attention of the press corps: Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s file folder, in which she had neatly arranged possible topics as she faced reporters from the lectern.
Along with “golf,” “Barack Obama,” “BLM” and a number entries related to the coronavirus, there was “Karl.” That apparently was a reference to Jonathan Karl, ABC News’ chief White House correspondent who is completing a year-long term as president of the White House Correspondents’ Association.
That he was singled out is not altogether surprising: In a Washington Post op-ed last week, Karl wrote that McEnany’s briefings, the most visible part of her job, have turned into something resembling a campaign infomercial.
“Denying reality and using the White House podium for purely political purposes is a violation of public trust,” he wrote, adding that they “routinely...
