    Donald Trump is not sad to see the Republican National Committee’s top lawyer go.

    “Great news for the Republican Party. RINO lawyer Charlie Spies is out as Chief Counsel of the RNC. I wish him well!” Trump posted late Sunday on Truth Social.

    Officials confirmed Saturday that Spies was leaving his post as RNC chief counsel roughly two months after taking the job as part of a broader staffing overhaul once Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee for November.

    There were reportedly tensions between Trump and Spies after Spies had criticized Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent and stolen.

    “Charlie approached RNC Chief of Staff, Chris Lacivita, about potential time commitment conflicts and it was agreed that, while we appreciate and value Charlie’s expertise and professionalism, he cannot do this role full time and still maintain the obligations to his law firm that he has spent years successfully building,” RNC spokesperson Danielle Alvarez said in a statement to The Hill.

    The RNC had announced in March it was hiring Spies, along with former One America News host Christina Bobb and former Trump administration attorney Bill McGinley to lead its legal efforts, with the latter two focusing on election integrity.

    President-elect Trump Sentenced In New York Trial

      On Friday, New York Judge Juan Merchan sentenced President-elect Donald Trump, making him the first felon to become President.

      Merchan sentenced Trump to an unconditional discharge, which eschews any prison time or probation but cements his status as a convicted felon.

      “After careful analysis and obedience of government mandates, pursuant of law, the court feels the only sentence is an unconditional discharge, which is a lawful and permissible sentence for falsifying business records,” Merchan said.

      “I impose that sentence for all 34 counts, and sir, I wish you godspeed as you pursue your second term in office,” he said.

      Trump, in remarks virtually to the judge inside the courtroom, said that his experience throughout his criminal case in Manhattan has been “very terrible,” calling it a “tremendous setback for New York and the New York court system.”

      “He said I was falsifying business records; I was calling a legal expense a legal expense,” Trump said, reiterating a defense argument from trial.

      “It’s an injustice of justice,” he added.

      ​​Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the Manhattan case in May 2024.

      Friday’s sentencing comes after multiple efforts to appeal the decision. On Thursday, the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s final effort to stay sentencing proceedings.

      Report: President Bill Clinton Among Those Hidden In Epstein Documents

        Former President Bill Clinton is going to be identified as one of several John Does in previously redacted documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein according to reports.

        Fox News’ Alexandria Hoff reported Monday that Clinton “is not the only big name expected to be released.” 

        Fox News has more:

        “There are more than 150 individuals identified only as John or Jane Does, but the legal masking is about to come off,” Hoff said Monday on “FOX & Friends.” 

        Last month, a federal judge in New York ordered the unsealing of dozens of documents naming people linked to the disgraced financier.

        “The Manhattan federal judge ruled that there was no justification to continue to have documents sealed in a settled case involving an Epstein accuser,” Hoff said. “The documents are expected to be unredacted and released as early as tomorrow, and among those named, former President Bill Clinton, that’s according to ABC News.”

        ABC News reported Sunday that Clinton will be named but “there is no indication the sealed records contain evidence of illegal conduct” by the former president. Clinton is mentioned more than 50 times in the redacted filings, ABC News reported. 

        Epstein, already a convicted sex offender in Florida, died at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York while awaiting federal trial for sex trafficking in 2019. His death was ruled a suicide. 

        Trump Ends Talks With Zelenskyy, Cancels Joint Press Conference

        It’s over…

        President Trump has called off negotiations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to end the conflict in Ukraine after a tense Oval Office meeting in which the two leaders sparred over U.S. support for Kyiv.

        “We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure,” Trump posted on Truth Social after the meeting. 

        “It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations,” Trump continued. “I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”

        Shortly after Trump’s post on Truth Social, Zelensky’s motorcade pulled up to the White House, signaling negotiations had ended.

        The two leaders had been scheduled to hold a joint press conference and sign a deal giving the U.S. access to Ukraine’s critical minerals supply later in the day. The press conference has been canceled, and the minerals deal was not signed.

        Trump’s post followed a stunning exchange in the Oval Office in which the president and Vice President Vance teed off on Zelensky, accusing him of being ungrateful for U.S. support and of having little leverage in talks.

        Watch:

        Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted publicly for the first time since his Oval Office blowup with President Donald Trump on Friday with a social media post thanking the United States.

        “Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit,” Zelenskyy posted on X. “Thank you @POTUS. Congress, and the American people. Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.”

        Donald Trump Jr. Engaged To Bettina Anderson

          Donald Trump Jr. shared joyful news on Monday that’s sure to add even more cheer to the holiday season: he is officially engaged to longtime girlfriend Bettina Anderson.

          The eldest son of President Donald Trump proposed to longtime girlfriend Bettina Anderson after over a year of dating, revealing the happy news during a recent White House gathering. A beaming Trump Sr. stood proudly beside the newly engaged couple.

          The announcement came during a recent gathering at the White House, where President Donald Trump proudly stood beside his eldest son and future daughter-in-law as they revealed the engagement. Trump Jr. expressed his gratitude and excitement, thanking Anderson for saying “yes” and calling the moment a “big win to end the year.” Anderson, radiant and clearly moved, described the experience as “the most unforgettable weekend” of her life.

          She went on to say she felt like the “luckiest girl in the world,” offering warm thanks to the Trump family for hosting such a meaningful celebration and giving special recognition to First Lady Melania Trump for the beautifully crafted holiday décor that filled the room.

          Trump Jr. and Anderson—known in Palm Beach social circles for her poise, philanthropy, and professionalism—have been linked for more than a year. Their relationship became public in late 2024 after photos surfaced in the Daily Mail, and by New Year’s Eve, Anderson was standing confidently with the Trump family at their Mar-a-Lago celebration. Their appearance together signaled that the relationship was both genuine and serious.

          This engagement marks Trump Jr.’s third. He married Vanessa Trump in 2005 at Mar-a-Lago, and the couple shared more than a decade together, raising five children: Kai, 18; Donald III, 16; Tristan, 14; Spencer, 13; and Chloe, 11. Vanessa, who has remained on good terms with the Trump family, is currently dating golf legend Tiger Woods.

          After his marriage ended, Trump Jr. became engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle in 2020. Although the two eventually went their separate ways, speculation about their split intensified as he was increasingly seen with Anderson around Palm Beach.

          While the exact moment of the proposal remains private, one thing is clear: the Trump family has yet another reason to celebrate as they head into the new year.

            On Monday, A federal judge refused the Justice Department’s request to unseal grand jury materials used to charge Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime accomplice of late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 

            The Trump administration looked to break the normal secrecy of grand jury proceedings amid mounting public pressure, including from much of the president’s political base, to release more files on the case. 

            “Contrary to the Government’s depiction, the Maxwell grand jury testimony is not a matter of significant historical or public interest. Far from it,” U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer wrote in his 31-page ruling. 

            “It consists of garden-variety summary testimony by two law enforcement agents. And the information it contains is already almost entirely a matter of longstanding public record.”

              Democrats are losing faith in Joe Biden…

              According to a recent New York Times report, President Barack Obama was has “grave concern” that President Joe Biden will lose to former President Donald Trump in November, which has caused him to get involved.

              With just over seven months until the presidential election, Biden has been making regular calls to Obama in an effort to discuss the 2024 race for the White House, according to The NYT. Obama, though, is reportedly making calls of his own to Biden’s chief of staff Jeff Zients and other top aides to discuss strategy.

              The former president’s involvement reportedly comes from a place of fear that his former vice president will lose his reelection bid in 2024, an aide told the White House. Obama has “always” been worried about Biden’s reelection chances, the aide told The NYT.

              Because of his concerns, Obama is prepared to “eke it out” to help Biden in what some are expecting to be a close election, the aide told The NYT.

              On Thursday, Obama attended a star-studded Democrat fundraiser in New York City to support President Biden.

              GOP Congressman Threatens Tucker Carlson

              Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) threatened former Fox News host Tucker Carlson during a Monday interview, saying if he ever met the pundit, he would “f‑‑‑ing kill” him.

              Speaking to British journalist Steven Edginton from GB News, Crenshaw slammed Carlson for his opposition to sending funds to Ukraine.

              Earlier in the interview, Edginton had asked Crenshaw about the argument that money being spent on Ukraine could be spent on other things.

              “Just coming back to this $100 billion to Ukraine, I know that people like Tucker Carlson will make the argument that there’s a real opportunity cost there, we could have spent that money on the border or fixing issues in America,” Edginton said in the interview clip. “What do you make of that argument?”

              Crenshaw replied that “you can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.”

              “We spent 75-80 percent of our budget on a welfare state in America, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. I would love to ask Tucker what he thinks that $100 billion should be spent on and if he would vote on it as a conservative,” Crenshaw said. “Tucker doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

              “Have you ever met Tucker?” Edginton asked after the interview ended.

              “We’ve talked a lot on Twitter,” Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL who has a history of trading online insults with Carlson, said. “If I ever meet him, I’ll f‑‑‑ing kill him.”

              “He’s the worst,” the Texas lawmaker added.

              In his post on X, Edginton noted that Crenshaw said he would kill Carlson, adding: “I laughed it off. He said: ‘No seriously, I would kill him.’”

              The congressman later implied he was joking while replying to outrage from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

              Crenshaw’s reply was met with an X Community Note that read, “Dan Crenshaw did threaten Tucker Carlson’s life. His comment was caught on ‘hot mic’ A/V recording.

              Carlson replied to the lawmaker in a Monday post and invited him to sit for an interview.

              “Why don’t you come sit for an interview and we’ll see how you do?” Carlson said. “I’ll send you my address, @DanCrenshawTX.”

                Donald Trump has eyes set on the future.

                According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump is eyeing a number of high-profile Wall Street and Washington veterans as candidates for Treasury secretary if he wins another term in the White House.

                WSJ continues:

                The April 6 event in Palm Beach, Fla., is being hosted by billionaire hedge-fund manager John Paulson and co-chaired by investor Scott Bessent, both of whom have caught Trump’s eye as he weighs who he will nominate for key cabinet positions, according to people familiar with the matter.

                Other people Trump’s allies have discussed for Treasury secretary include: Robert Lighthizer, the former president’s top trade adviser; former Trump administration Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton; and JPMorgan Chase Chief Executive Jamie Dimon.

                The Trump campaign is also courting Blackstone CEO and former Trump donor Steve Schwarzman, who in 2022 broke with the former president, saying he planned to back “a new generation” of Republican leaders. Schwarzman hasn’t made a final decision but is considering supporting Trump’s re-election effort, according to people close to him. Some Trump advisers have also mentioned Schwarzman as a potential Treasury secretary.

                Missouri Senate Passes Trump-Backed Plan That Could Help Republicans Win an Additional US House Seat

                A big win for GOP…

                Missouri Republicans handed President Donald Trump a political victory Friday, giving final legislative approval to a redistricting plan that could help Republicans win an additional U.S. House seat in next year’s elections.

                The Senate vote sends the redistricting plan to Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe for his expected signature to make it law. But opponents immediately announced a referendum petition that, if successful, could force a statewide vote on the new map.

                Missouri is the third state to take up mid-decade redistricting this year.

                Each seat could be critical, because Democrats need to gain just three seats to win control of the House, which would allow them to obstruct Trump’s agenda and launch investigations into him.

                Republicans currently hold six of Missouri’s eight U.S. House seats. The revised map passed the state House earlier this week as the focal point of a special session called by Gov. Kehoe.

                Missouri’s revised map targets a seat held by Democratic U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver.
