Trump News

President Donald Trump unleashed a lengthy attack on journalist Maggie Haberman at midnight Saturday over a new book about him, dismissing the work as fiction and hurling insults at the New York Times reporter who has covered him for years.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he had been briefed on the book and was unimpressed, deriding both the project and its author — whose name he mangled throughout the post.

A defamation lawsuit President Donald Trump filed against the BBC is producing what one observer called an "unintended consequence" — potentially opening the president up to broad discovery about the period surrounding January 6, according to journalist and commentator Aaron Parnas.

In his newsletter, the Parnas Perspective, Parnas reported that Trump's $10 billion suit against the British broadcaster appears to be backfiring by giving the BBC an opening to demand records tied to one of the most heavily scrutinized stretches of his presidency.

Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.) warned this week that President Donald Trump has openly acknowledged directing federal prosecutors to investigate elections whose results he dislikes — a statement the congressman argued the president made plainly and even boasted about.

"Trump just told the country, out loud, that he picks up the phone and orders federal prosecutors to investigate elections when he does not like how the vote is going," Levin wrote, adding that the president "bragged about it twice this week."

President Donald Trump issued a stark threat against Iran on Saturday night, warning that the country could cease to exist if it continues attacking, as he announced a new round of U.S. strikes targeting Iranian military sites.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said American aircraft had hit Iranian missile and drone storage locations along with coastal radar sites, accusing Tehran of breaching the ceasefire yet again.
