Confirming @jdawsey1 on Trump wanting to stiff Rudy, and a few new details - White House officials blocking Rudy calls to Trump; Trump said repeatedly on AF1 yesterday about the election: "I won;" Pence/others had to convince Trump to do the video today. nytimes.com/2021/01/13/us/…
Even after Trump recorded/released the video, he had to be reassured by aides that it was the right thing to do nytimes.com/2021/01/13/us/…
The president is furious with McConnell but deeper anger is at McCarthy, people close to him say. Felt like McCarthy betrayed him by condemning what he did/checking support for censure nytimes.com/2021/01/13/us/…
Trump wanted to testify at the impeachment proceedings, he told aides. Advisers discussed the idea of him resigning, but he's never been receptive to it. nytimes.com/2021/01/13/us/…

SpaceX engineer and current SGE Chris Stanley, who’s worked with DOGE, created a stir when his visit to the roof of the EEOB to explore installing Starlink there in Feb tripped off a USSS alarm. nytimes.com/2025/03/17/us/…

Marckesano's gravestone appeared in photos posted online of Trump standing in Section 60 at the adjacent gravesite of a sergeant whose family welcomed Trump. The Marckesanos weren't asked; video of the back of his gravestone appeared in a Trump Tik-Tok nytimes.com/2024/08/28/us/…

At a fundraiser last weekend, Trump, asked for his positive vision for the country, slammed Harris and said, “I am who I am.” A week earlier, he had an aide send a startled Miriam Adelson texts accusing her of having RINOs running her super PaC nytimes.com/2024/08/10/us/…
The texts to Miriam Adelson were sent from Natalie Harp. Adelson advisers believed something seemed off, and called Ike Perlmutter, who they learned had encouraged it. Perlmutter acknowledged doing just that, per two people w knowledge nytimes.com/2024/08/10/us/…
In December, the Times captured here the body of work that, led by @jonathanvswan, he and @charlie_savage and I began in June 2023 on what a Trump return to office would look like. That overview is here nytimes.com/article/trump-…
We have looked at how Trump has promised a special prosecutor to "go after" the Bidens and his desire to erode the post-Watergate norm of Justice Department independence 1/ nytimes.com/2023/06/15/us/…

Fundraising that didn’t meet expectations and spending that was profligate. A campaign manager now under fire. And a candidate for a second time in weeks expected to engage with a mainstream media he has disdained. @ShaneGoldmacher and me nytimes.com/2023/07/23/us/…
The bizarre anti LGBT video that appeared to have been picked up by DeSantis War Room from a friendly Twitter user was actually made by a campaign aide and made to look like it came from elsewhere, a person w knowledge of what happened said nytimes.com/2023/07/23/us/…
That the campaign did not hit expected fund-raising targets — and spent exorbitantly — caught the candidate and his wife by surprise, a person with knowledge of their reactions said. nytimes.com/2023/07/23/us/…
Trump tells me minutes ago he has NOT been told he’s getting indicted, when contacted. “It’s not true,” he said, adding again he hasn’t done anything wrong.
Trump statement came amid a report from one of his allies that he has been told this. NYT, CNN, WaPo and other outlets have all reported federal officials have been building toward a likely indictment, including with witnesses in Miami before a grand jury today.
When I asked if he had been told he’s a target, he demurred, saying he doesn’t talk directly to prosecutors.
