Proud Boys' $100 Million Lawsuit Puts Trump In A Lose-Lose Position
LOADING ERROR LOADINGFive members of the Proud Boys pardoned by President Donald Trump for orchestrating the Capitol insurrection have turned around and sued the federal government, forcing Trump’s administration into an awkward position. Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio speaks at a press conference Friday. At a press conference Friday, Tarrio called the lawsuit a chance for Trump’s attorney general, Pam Bondi, to rectify the Biden administration’s errors. Support our mission to keep us around for the next 20 — we can't do this without you. The Proud Boys lawsuit comes the same day Shane Lamond, the former leader of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department’s intelligence division, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for leaking information to Tarrio ahead of the Jan. 6 attack.

Trump Can Ban AP From Some White House Events, Court Rules
LOADING ERROR LOADINGJune 6 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump is free to bar the Associated Press from some White House media events for now, after a U.S. appeals court on Friday paused a lower court ruling mandating that AP journalists be given access. Circuit temporarily blocks an order by U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, who ruled on April 8 that the Trump administration must allow AP journalists access to the Oval Office, Air Force One and White House events while the news agency’s lawsuit moves forward. Rao wrote that the lower court injunction “impinges on the President’s independence and control over his private workspaces” and that the White House was likely to ultimately defeat the Associated Press’ lawsuit. McFadden, who was appointed by Trump during his first term, said in his ruling that if the White House opens its doors to some journalists it cannot exclude others based on their viewpoints. Trump administration lawyers said the president has absolute discretion over media access to the White House and that McFadden’s ruling infringed on his ability to decide whom to admit to sensitive spaces.

The author working at her desk at “Dateline NBC.” Courtesy of Lorna GrahamWhen I tell people I’m a writer at “Dateline NBC,” I get a variety of reactions. “The questions stay unanswered because they’re unanswerable.”I like to think “Dateline” gives viewers a bit of both kinds of stories. But we take on the deeper, thornier questions, too, like how well do we ever really know another person — even one we’re married to?

Trump Says It May Be Better To Let Ukraine, Russia 'Fight For A While'
Trump and Merz began by exchanging pleasantries — Merz gave Trump a gold-framed birth certificate of the U.S. president’s grandfather Friedrich Trump, who emigrated to America from Kallstadt, Germany, and Trump called the chancellor a “very good man to deal with.”“He’s difficult, I would say? He has thanked Trump for his support for an unconditional ceasefire while rejecting the idea of “dictated peace” or the “subjugation” of Ukraine and advocating for more sanctions against Russia. AdvertisementOn Thursday, Trump also kept the threat of sanctions on the table — but for both Russia and Ukraine. At home, Merz’s government is intensifying a drive that his immediate predecessor, Olaf Scholz, began to bolster the German military after Russia invaded Ukraine. “Germany is one of the very big investors in America,” Merz told German reporters Thursday morning ahead of his visit with Trump.

Trump Announces Travel Ban And Restrictions On 19 Countries Set To Go Into Effect Monday
AdvertisementSome, but not all, 12 countries also appeared on the list of banned countries in Trump’s first term. AdvertisementHaiti, which avoided the travel ban during Trump’s first term, was also included for high overstay rates and large numbers who came to the U.S. illegally. AdvertisementDuring his first term, Trump issued an executive order in January 2017 banning travel to the U.S. by citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries — Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. The order, often referred to as the “Muslim ban” or the “travel ban,” was retooled amid legal challenges, until a version was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018. Trump and others have defended the initial ban on national security grounds, arguing it was aimed at protecting the country and not founded on anti-Muslim bias.
