A judge cleared the BBC to serve subpoenas on Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner after Secret Service protection thwarted in-person delivery.

On Friday, Politico senior legal affairs reporter Josh Gerstein posted that U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjolique Lett granted the BBC's motion for alternative service in Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster, allowing the network to deliver the subpoenas by certified mail to the trio's home and business addresses and by email to Trump's lawyers.

The BBC argued the president's eldest son, daughter and son-in-law likely have "personal knowledge and possession of discoverable information" relevant to the case. Lett wrote that the network "has demonstrated the difficulties with effecting personal service" on the three, who are protected "as members of the sitting President's immediate family."...

President Donald Trump's eldest daughter is drawing online scorn after posting a video of herself enjoying an oceanside horse ride.

On Monday, Ivanka Trump posted the video of her racing a horse on the beach in front of a setting sun and scored it to "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay. Commentators gave more than an online roll of the eyes as they blasted Ivanka for posting the video while her father presides over high gas prices and a troubled economy.

In a post on X, political journalist Carla Marinucci described the video as the "2026 version" of Marie Antoinette's "Let them eat cake."...

President Donald Trump's own words could come back to haunt him — and his children and son-in-law.

Salon's Sophia Tesfaye discussed how the president's BBC lawsuit could reveal more information about his statements on Jan. 6, 2021, and his family's connection to the events that day. It's tied to the question around Trump's statement and what he meant when he told a crowd "fight like hell" before a group of insurrectionists attacked the U.S. Capitol.

But Trump might not have realized his previous legal strategy would backfire, Tesfaye argued....

A former insider described a memory of Melania Trump bursting into laughter when Trump promised to keep a secret.

During an interview on This is Gavin Newsom, ex-Trump ally and former GOP governor Chris Christie recalled a dinner with Trump and Melania long before they were in the White House.

The dinner took place before Christie stepped down as a U.S. attorney in 2008 and after Ivanka Trump met her future husband, Jared Kushner, in 2007. Christie had prosecuted Kushner's father, whom Christie remembered as "the most disgusting defendant" he prosecuted....

A Miami businessman wanted in Albania for alleged drug money laundering is suspected of faking deeds to the land where Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner hope to build a multi-billion-dollar resort, new reports show.

Albania's anticorruption prosecution service is investigating whether Artur Shehu transferred land to Albania Land Development, a Kushner-linked company, with forged deeds and falsified titles, according to reporting by Al Jazeera and Reuters.

"Prosecutors allege Shehu and his associates funnelled proceeds from cocaine trafficking into Albanian property, using falsified titles to disguise the money’s origin, and have since frozen roughly 110 million euros ($126m) tied to the sale in a notary’s account," Al Jazeera reported....

An ex-Republican strategist is certain that JD Vance will run for president in 2028 with a "Trump on the ticket."

During an episode of The Bulwark Podcast, former top GOP strategist Stuart Stevens made it clear that he expects "JD Vance is going to be the nominee" on the Republican side for president in the 2028 race. However, he added one more prediction.

"Mark my words," Stevens said. "He's going to pick a Trump on the ticket, a Trump family member. Either Ivanka or, you know, depending on who's in and out of rehab, one of the sons."...
