US District Judge Steven Merryday ruled that Mr Trump’s lawsuit was overly long and was full of “tedious and burdensome” language that had no bearing on the legal case. “A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally,” Judge Merryday wrote in a four-page order. The lawsuit named a book and an article written by Times reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig that focuses on Mr Trump’s finances and his pre-presidency starring role in television’s The Apprentice. The lawsuit also attacked claims the reporters made about Mr Trump’s early business dealings and his father, Fred. Mr Trump also cited an article by Peter Baker on October 20 2024 headlined “For Trump, a Lifetime of Scandals Heads Toward a Moment of Judgment”.
The location for my meeting with Lt-Gen Keith Kellogg, a decorated war hero turned skilled diplomat, felt more like a scene from a James Bond film than an interview room. Chosen by his security staff, the entrance was hidden beneath an unassuming city-centre bar, accessible only by a password. The general, calm and welcoming, yet unmistakably firm, spoke to me of Ukraine and its people with warmth and compassion. For Keith Kellogg is a man driven by principle. He also holds a uniquely powerful position, and he uses it to pursue peace while standing “on the side of good, fighting pure evil”.

A dramatic entranceMelania’s Striking Purple Hat Coordinating With Trump’s Tie Ignites Fierce Royal Fan SpeculationA gown for the spotlightMelania Trump’s second state visit to Britain alongside President Donald Trump became as much a showcase of her wardrobe as it was a diplomatic engagement. Choosing Burberry was a deliberate nod to British heritage, and it mirrored her choice of the same brand at the start of her last state visit, then in the form of a blouse. At St. George’s Hall for the white-tie state banquet, Melania traded her covered-up daytime looks for a bright, eye-catching gown by Carolina Herrera. The floor-length, off-the-shoulder dress came in a vivid shade of yellow, balanced by long sleeves and a lavender silk belt at the waist. The combination of exposed shoulders and bold color drew attention without overshadowing her hosts.
“I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America. So you can call that free speech or not.
