First lady Melania Trump's top aide was brutally mocked on Tuesday after he made a wild claim during an interview on NewsMax.

Marc Beckman, a senior aide to the first lady, claimed during the interview that Melania Trump was "the most consequential first lady in [the] history of our nation." He cited her work with "kids all over the place," and argued that she has had substantive influence on the peace process between Ukraine and Russia.

One of President Donald Trump's biographers revealed a dark secret that the president may have used to wield power over the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

Graham, who died on Saturday from an aortic dissection after traveling home from Ukraine, was one of Trump's sharpest critics leading up to the president's first election in 2016, but soon became what some described as a supplicant. Graham was one of Trump's biggest allies on Capitol Hill and was instrumental in multiple legislative wins. He also helped rehabilitate Trump's image following the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Some parts of President Donald Trump's upcoming national address, as teased in the media, received an icy reception on CNN.

Trump is scheduled to give a national address on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET. Ahead of the speech, some reporters have noted that Trump plans to declare Democratic Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff of Georgia "illegitimate" because of alleged "election fraud." Others have suggested that Trump plans to revive conspiracy theories about the 2020 election through newly declassified information during the address.

Workers erected black screening around the drained Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Monday, hiding it from public view and fueling accusations of a "cover-up."

"We drained the beautiful 'Reflecting Pool' today in order to fix the scars and damage that was done by the Vandals two weeks ago," President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social late Monday. "The slashes were 300 yards long, and the floor of the pool was cut and then pulled upward, with great force, by these thugs."

President Donald Trump alarmed an international relations expert on Tuesday after he backed down from his latest threat to the Iranian regime.

On Monday, Trump said he planned to impose a 20% toll on ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz in response to the Iranian regime's latest attempt to reclose the waterway. The move also called into question the strength of the memorandum of understanding that the Trump administration signed with the Iranians, which was supposed to guarantee the reopening of the Strait without the imposition of fees or tolls.

A shadowy $2 million payment that President Donald Trump reported on his recent financial disclosure raised new questions about Trump's efforts to profit from the presidency.

The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Trump's holding company received a $2 million payment from a South Korean business that is under investigation by Trump's trade authorities. The report noted that the financial disclosure only offered a brief, "cryptic explanation" for the payment.
