Michael Cohen @MichaelCohen212 I have been asked and have agreed to cooperate with multiple government agencies to provide testimony on the wrongdoing by #Trump and the #TrumpFamily. I am doing this in large part as #Trump and family have tried, and thankfully failed, to destroy America’s democracy.

Turncoat presidential niece Mary Trump has found another adversary in her family — her own brother who was on her side when she sued the family two decades ago. Fred Trump III said Mary is still bound by a nondisclosure agreement with the Trump family and should not have written the blockbuster book that she is planning to publish next month. . . . Fred said: 'At the time that our lawsuit with the family was resolved, Mary and I had each received a generous financial settlement from the family and were more than willing to agree to execute non-disclosure...

The worst thing one of Mary Jordan’s claimed 100 sources had to say about Melania Trump is that she’s 'stubborn.' No arguments there. There are no major bombshells in Mary Jordan’s new biography of Melania Trump, “The Art of Her Deal.” Jordan merely reaffirms what we’ve always known about the First Lady—she’s a cool head in an unsteady world, and the ultimate poster girl for soft power. The worst thing one of Jordan’s 100 sources had to say about Trump is that she’s “stubborn.” No arguments there. Like an alabaster Greek statue, Melania stays strong and unflappably elegant as her...

Under sunny, seventy-degree skies, 18-year-old Mary Anne Smith MacLeod, the future mother of President Donald J. Trump, stepped off the steamship Transylvania onto Ellis Island and into a future that would exceed her wildest dreams. It was 90 years ago, Sunday, May 11, 1930 – Mother’s Day – that Mary MacLeod completed a 9-day journey across the Atlantic Ocean from the small Hebridean Island of Lewis, off the west coast of Scotland. With $50 in her pocket, she would settle with family in the New York City borough of Queens. For 6 years, Mary worked as a nanny before meeting...

(Video at Source) Nicolle Wallace, an MSNBC anchor, on her Thursday broadcast likened Republican lawmakers who supported President Donald Trump throughout the impeachment process to a “mafia family.” Discussing the president’s speech on impeachment today in which he praised his supporters in Congress, panelist Matthew Miller said, “He was attacking and making clear the consequences for anyone that crosses him. And also saying — and this is really important for Republicans— that if you’ll stand with me, if you’ll be my sycophant, you can come to the White House. I’ll praise you on national television. He went through and had...

The president’s eldest son is angry about the Democratic ‘witch hunt’ against his father, so he and his girlfriend dressed up on Halloween as one. In images posted on Instagram, Kimberly Guilfoyle provided the ‘witch’, dressing in a witch’s costume that included a hat. Donald Trump Jr, meanwhile, wore military style camouflage hunting gear and carried a bow. The location where the photo was taken is labeled as ‘The Swamp’ - the derogatory term that President Trump uses to describe Washington, DC.

Donald Trump Jr., a man who shares the same name as the President of the United States and is currently the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, said with a straight face on Wednesday night that he wished his name was Hunter Biden so he could “make millions off my father's presidency.” During an appearance on Fox News’ Hannity to hawk his upcoming book Triggered, Trump Jr. quickly turned his sights on the impeachment inquiry his father is currently facing. After Trump Jr. called it a “sham” and claimed “the reasonable people in the middle” support his dad, Sean...

WELCOME TO THE TRUMP FAMILY TRAIN- TRANSITION. We are in second weeks since the election until the Inauguration SEVERALpicks so far. LOTS of speculation and misinformation along the way>P>

The Trump Organization is "exploring" selling the rights to the Trump International Hotel in Washington, Eric Trump, the president's son and an executive vice president of the Trump Organization, told The Wall Street Journal in a Friday report. "Since we opened our doors, we have received tremendous interest in this hotel and as real-estate developers, we are always willing to explore our options," the younger Trump told The Journal in a statement. The company leased the historic Old Post Office building in DC, which houses the hotel, for 60 years beginning in 2013. The Trump Organization is reportedly looking to...

The Trump Organization is reportedly looking into selling the lease rights to its Washington, D.C., hotel, which has been scrutinized over whether President Trump is profiting off of the presidency. Eric Trump, the president’s son and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, told the Wall Street Journal the company has tasked JLL, a commercial real estate firm, with marketing the Trump International Hotel, which opened in 2016 and is located down the road from the White House in the Old Post Office. “Since we opened our doors, we have received tremendous interest in this hotel and as real estate...

White House senior adviser Jared Kushner will lead a US delegation to Israel at the end of the month to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz, a senior administration official said on Thursday. Kushner has been leading President Donald Trump's effort to develop a peace plan for Israelis and Palestinians. After proposing a $60 billion aid package for the region last summer, he has yet to unveil a proposed political plan that gets at the thorniest issues in the decades-old conflict, with Netanyahu struggling to form a governing coalition. The official, speaking on condition...

For some time now, Morning Joe has been consumed by a visceral hatred of all things Trump. Friday's show offered up yet two more examples. First, Donny Deutsch claimed, "If you know Donald Trump, you know there isn't anyone he wouldn't throw -- he would throw his family under the bus. And I don't say that glibly." Joe Scarborough heartily agreed: "Well of course!" A bit later, when Deutsch accused Scarborough of mocking melanoma, Scarborough replied: "I didn't mock cancer. I thought you were talking about your girlfriend, Melanomia."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

First lady Melania Trump cut the ribbon Thursday as the Washington Monument reopened to the public for the first time in three years. The 555-foot stone obelisk closed in September 2016 in order to replace the aging elevator and upgrade security systems. Accompanied by a group of local fourth graders, Trump took the new high-speed elevator to the observation floor near the top, which offers a commanding 360-degree view of the entire District of Columbia. The monument has been closed off and on for most of the past eight years. An August 2011 earthquake left cracks in the stones near...

A relative of President Donald Trump has accused the self-proclaimed billionaire of being a pancake thief, having stolen a handful of flat cakes while on vacation at his late mother's former home in Scotland. A distant cousin of the president, Alice Mackay—related to Trump through his mother's family, the McLeods—said the commander-in-chief is an unpleasant man who has never used any of his wealth to help his mother's local community.

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski appeared to suggest that President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, isn't actually his during Friday morning's broadcast of Morning Joe. The conversation started when Brzezinski, her co-host Joe Scarborough and a panel of guests were critiquing former Vice President Joe Biden's performance during Thursday night's third Democratic debate. The two showed a clip during which Biden made a gaffe while going over on his time talking about education. In his response to racial inequality in schools, Biden said a helpful way to educate kids is to "make sure the record player is on at night."...

President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale praised the Trump family over the weekend and predicted that they will “be a dynasty that will last for decades.” “The Trumps will be a dynasty that will last for decades, propelling the Republican Party into a new party,” Parscale said Saturday during a speech to Republican Party delegates in California. “One that will adapt to changing cultures. One must continue to adapt while keeping the conservative values that we believe in.” Afterward, Parscale was asked to clarify his remarks and declined to mention whether he believed any of the president’s children...

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell tried to weasel his way out of reporting fake news about President Trump colluding with Russian oligarchs, by ‘apologizing’ on air Thursday night. However, Eric Trump says it’s too late, and warned O’Donnell that he will face legal action over the slur. O’Donnell essentially did the bare minimum in an effort to avoid legal consequences, saying “I should not have said it on-air or posted it on Twitter. I was wrong to do so.” “Last night on this show, I discussed information that wasn’t ready for reporting. I repeated statements a single source told me about...
