See Trump's plans for a multimillion-dollar White House ballroom Construction will begin in September, the White House said.

More bribes, I mean donations, coming soon:

"President Trump and other donors have generously committed to donating the funds necessary to build this approximately $200 million structure," Leavitt said.

Trump's comments on Epstein raise new questions about when and why they fell out President Trump this week talked at length about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but the accounts raise new questions about when exactly the two fell out and why.

Trump on Tuesday went on to say that Epstein "stole" young women who worked at the spa at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. "People were taken out of the spa, hired by him. In other words, gone," Trump told reporters on Air Force One.

Deputy attorney general to meet with Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell Maxwell was convicted of recruiting and grooming multiple teenage girls for over a decade to be sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein.

Is Bondi trying to strike a deal with Maxwell?
Looks like someone might be getting their prison time commuted if they can help with the coverup.

A judge sided with Trump. Behind the scenes, he was lobbying for a nomination. Ed Artau was already meeting with Senate staff about securing a nomination to the federal bench when he sided with Trump in a case, according to a new Senate disclosure obtained by POLITICO.
