Trump bizarrely claims there cannot be peace if he’s being investigated by Mueller
During his State of the Union address, President Donald Trump linked peace overseas to him not being investigated by at home.
“An economic miracle is taking place in the United States and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics, or ridiculous, partisan investigations,” Trump claimed.
“If there’s going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war an investigation — it just doesn’t work that way,” he continued.
“We must be united at home to defeat our adversaries abroad,” Trump argued.

Trump has spent his three years in office desperately trying to corner the Indian market for his properties
President Donald Trump went to India for the first time in his presidency, but he can't stay at his own Trump properties, because they're not as far along as he would probably like.
“It’s a little different situation than him going to his own club and being able to hold court there,” Alyssa Ayres told Politico. She was previously the deputy assistant secretary of state for South Asia. “This trip will make [his properties] more visible in India.”
According to the report, Trump is likely hoping his presence will help his developments along while most of them are stalled.

Julian Assange lawyer tells court: After pardon fell through, Trump administration resorted to ‘extortion’
An attorney for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange accused the Trump administration of extortion in a London court on Monday.
The WikiLeaks attorney appeared at Woolwich Crown Court along with U.S. prosecutors, who argued that Assange should be extradited the United States, where he faces 18 charges and up to 175 years in jail.
Attorneys for Assange previously told the court that former Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) tried to broker a pardon deal between the White House and Assange if he would agree to say that Russia was not the source of hacked Democratic Party emails.
