Trump administration runs taxpayer-funded ‘love me’ ad (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Trump administration on Thursday defended a campaign-style ad airing on Fox News and Newsmax that features President Donald Trump and says it was “paid for by the U.S. Government.” The White House “did not say what agency paid for the spot, which includes background music with singers crooning ‘love me’ over and over,” The Associated Press said. But in a statement, it called the ad a “public service announcement” aimed at “reminding Americans to love their country.” “Together we will defeat

Read excerpt
President Donald Trump on Thursday night hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state dinner at the White House, after the two leaders spoke privately and toured Trump’s remodeling projects.

But even after Kelly’s order, Secret Service agents still blocked the trio of outlets from entering the White House grounds on Thursday. The White H
Trump FBI ended pay-to-play probe involving Collins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Senior FBI officials last year shut down a nascent “sweeping bribery probe” that included pay-to-play allegations involving Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), ProPublica reported Tuesday, citing a “trove of evidence gathered by the FBI,” legal records and dozens of interviews.
