Trump sues Jan. 6 panel to block records
Former President Trump on Monday filed a federal lawsuit against the Jan. 6 select committee seeking to block the panel from obtaining his administration's records from the National Archives.

"The Committee’s request amounts to nothing less than a vexatious, illegal fishing expedition openly endorsed by Biden and designed to unconstitutionally investigate President Trump and his administration," the lawsuit reads. "Our laws do not permit such an impulsive, egregious action against a former President and his close advisors."

"As it relates to any materials being sought in situations like this, where fundamental privileges and constitutional issues are at stake and where a committee has declined to grant sufficient time to conduct a full review, there is a longstanding bipartisan tradition of protective assertions of executive privilege designed to ensure the ability to make a final assertion, if necessary, over some or all of the requested material," the lawsuit reads.

The lawsuit argues that the committee has not demonstrated a legitimate legislative purpose for the documents that would override the former president's assertions of executive privilege.

Taylor Budowich, a spokesman for Trump, tweeted on Monday, "Today, President Trump filed a lawsuit in defense of the Constitution, the Office of the President, and the future of our nation, all of which the sham Unselect Committee is trying to destroy."

Trump Praises Gen. Kellogg's Book
Former President Donald Trump is touting a new book by former White House National Security Adviser Keith Kellogg as a "powerful account of the Trump presidency."

His comments came in a statement released Tuesday as the book was officially released.

Trump said: "General Keith Kellogg has written a sweeping and powerful account of the Trump Presidency. He spent four years with me in the White House and in the 2016 Campaign for the Presidency. His narrative is factual and indisputable.

"Unlike other fakers and slimeballs that write fictional books without knowing me or virtually anything about me. The general knew me and my administration well, and he was there for every major national security decision.

"Finally, we have a real and inside account of our very successful four years. An incredible read published today. I strongly recommend this important book that will set a historic standard. Go get "War By Other Means" by General Keith Kellogg—it’s really good!"

In his memoir, Kellogg reveals how Trump’s "America First" policies strengthened the nation after President Barack Obama’s eight-year "apology" tour, why the president’s tough approach to China worked, and why future administrations must continue to take the China threat seriously.


War by Other Means: A General in the Trump White House Hardcover – October 19, 2021
General Keith Kellogg saw it all. The only national security advisor to work side by side with both President Trump and Vice President Pence, he was their confidant as they made their most momentous decisions. No one knows better than he that the hysterical accusations of the administration’s partisan detractors were unconnected to reality.

Demolishing baseless caricatures of Donald Trump, General Kellogg provides one of the few reliable accounts of the administration from the earliest days of the 2016 campaign to the end of the president’s term.

Kellogg reveals:
  • How Trump’s “America First” policies strengthened the nation after Obama’s eight-year apology tour
  • Why the president’s tough approach to China worked—and why future administrations must continue to take the China threat seriously
  • How withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and the strike on General Soleimani slowed the spread of radical Islamist terror
  • Why Democrats’ appeasement policies are courting disaster for America and the world
The radicals attacking President Trump’s legacy are sacrificing sound policy to politics. Kellogg’s account is an urgently needed reminder that politics is “war by other means.” Our enemies never forget that, and Americans forget it to their peril.

trump is a disgusting pig. A pig. He's the most despicable person in America.

That fucking draft dodger didn't even wait until Colin Powell's body was cold before disparaging a man that spent his entire life in service to the United States of America.

This is what the trump the pathetic pig said:

"Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media," Trump said in a statement released Tuesday morning. "Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!"

Trump defends indicted GOP congressman
Former President Trump defended Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) in a statement Tuesday night shortly after the GOP lawmaker was indicted by a federal grand jury.

Fortenberry was charged with one count of scheming to conceal material facts and two counts of making false statements to federal investigators after allegedly concealing information about illegal contributions to his 2016 campaign.

“Isn’t it terrible that a Republican Congressman from Nebraska just got indicted for possibly telling some lies to investigators about campaign contributions, when half of the United States Congress lied about made up scams,” Trump said in his statement.

He also referenced frequent targets Hillary Clinton and James Comey, saying they lied with no repercussions.

“[T]hey made up fairy tales about me knowing how badly it would hurt the U.S.A.—and nothing happens to them. Is there no justice in our Country?” he concluded.

You must have missed this in the post above mine.
I meant all the mistakes. Of all time. You were not too clear on what you were blaming 'all' of it on them.

New York county launches new investigation into Trump Organization
The Westchester County district attorney's office has subpoenaed records from Trump National Golf Club Westchester and the town of Ossining, which determines property taxes for the course, The New York Times reported.

The Times reported that the investigation will focus on whether the Trump Organization misled officials regarding the course's value in an effort to pay less taxes on the property.

"The Club’s request for a review of its tax assessments was amicably resolved earlier this year and signed off by the Town Board, the Town Assessor, Special Counsel for the Town (who determined the settlement to be both 'appropriate and in the best interests of the Town of Ossining'), the Briarcliff Manor School District, the Office of the Westchester County Attorney and the Westchester County Supreme Court judge presiding over the matter," a spokesperson for the Trump Organization said in an email to The Hill.

"Accordingly, the suggestion that anything was inappropriate is completely false and incredibly irresponsible. The witch hunt continues," the statement added.

Miriam Rocah, the Westchester district attorney and a Democrat, has not accused anyone at the Trump Organization of any wrongdoing thus far, according to the Times. It remains unclear if any charges will be considered or if the former president's own actions will be investigated.

Trump announces new social media network called 'TRUTH Social'
"I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced. This is unacceptable," Trump said in a release.

"I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon. TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all. I'm excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech. Everyone asks me why doesn’t someone stand up to Big Tech? Well, we will be soon!" he added.

Trump was largely banned from major social media networks, including Facebook and his favored Twitter, at the beginning of the year after the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot. After leaving office, he operated a blog similar in style to Twitter before shutting it down about a month after it was started.

Earlier in October, Trump asked a federal judge to force Twitter into reinstating his account.

“Coerced by members of the United States Congress, operating under an unconstitutional immunity granted by a permissive federal statute, and acting directly with federal officials, Defendant is censoring Plaintiff, a former President of the United States,” the motion read.

A beta launch of the site for "invited guests" is expected in November, with a full launch in the first quarter of 2022.

The site's upcoming launch was coupled with the announcement that Trump Media & Technology Group has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Digital World Acquisition Corp. that will allow it to become a publicly listed company.

According to MarketWatch, Digital World Acquisition Corp. is a blank-check company that was founded on Dec. 11, 2020. As a blank-check company, it has no specific business plan and was started for the purposes of acquiring or merging with other companies.

The Trump Media & Technology Group also announced plans to launch a subscription-based video service called TMTG+ that will feature "non-woke" programming. The new endeavor will be led by reality television producer Scott St. John, who has worked on shows such as "Deal or No Deal" and "America’s Got Talent."
