Trump says members of his NJ club who are gathered maskless are complying with law bc it’s a “political activity” and “peaceful protest.” It’s unclear what they are protesting. Trump in recent days has said that wearing a mask is patriotic, but seems to be endorsing no masks now
Trump claimed they were protesting the media, though they were there just to watch the presser and cheered when he said that. He also said it was a “political activity” even though it was an official WH event.
This is what NJ govt says: “Indoor gatherings must be limited to 25 people or 25% of a room's capacity -- whichever number is lower. All attendees at indoor gatherings must wear face coverings and stay six feet apart.” covid19.nj.gov/faqs/nj-inform…

New statement from top US counterintelligence official. Russia wants Biden to lose, China wants Trump to lose, Iran wants Trump to lose
From our story this AM: US intelligence officials have presented information to lawmakers and presidential campaigns indicating Russia is behind an ongoing disinformation push against Joe Biden, according to sources familiar with the matter.
“It's pretty clear that foreign governments want to disrupt our elections. That the Iranians and Chinese don't have much love for Trump," the Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham said. cnn.com/2020/08/07/pol…

On a private call with GOP senators today, Mnuchin and Meadows said they believed that the Democrats’ demands for nearly $1 trillion for state and local government is the biggest sticking point over a deal, per multiple sources.
They also argued Democrats have not moved off their positions or proposed things that the GOP could accept. For instance, the officials said, Democrats are pushing for permanent student loan forgiveness as part of the deal.
The two administration officials told the senators they would try to meet again today with the Democrats to see if there’s a deal to be had - and then make a decision tonight about whether it makes sense to continue, the sources said. The meeting is at 1p in Pelosi’s office

Stimulus talks on the brink of collapse as two sides trade blame and are no closer to a deal. A three-hour meeting between Mnuchin and Meadows and Pelosi and Schumer yielded little progress. It’s unclear if they will meet tomorrow.
“We are very far apart - it’s most unfortunate,” Pelosi said.
Schumer: “We are very disappointed in the meeting.” Mnuchin: “I think there's a lot of issues we are close to a compromise position on and I think there's a handful of very big issues that we are still very far apart.”
The differences remain as they have been: Democrats want to do “something big,” in the words of Pelosi, and the Trump administration wants a “skinny bill,” in the words of Meadows. One of the biggest sticking points: aid to state and local governments.
