Trump, RNC raised $65.6 million in March, outpacing March 2020; has $93.1 million in cash on hand

By ALEX ISENSTADT | POLITICO Former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee raised $65.6 million in March and ended the month with $93.1 million in cash on hand, according to figures provided to POLITICO. Trump’s allies hope the amount will ease concerns about his fundraising and the cash deficit he is facing against President Joe Biden. The figure — which covers a number of fundraising vehicles that will all have to disclose their activities to the Federal Election Commission later this month — outpaces the $62 million that Trump raised in March 2020, when he was running for reelection. Biden’s political operation has yet to announce its March fundraising haul, though it has said it raised $25 million during a New York City fundraiser last week that was atten...

House lawmakers want to put President Donald Trump’s name on major airport

By Spencer Brown  | Townhall Visitors to Washington, D.C., could be landing at Donald J. Trump International Airport if a group of House Republicans gets their way.  Led by House Majority Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA), a bill in the lower chamber seeks to put the 45th president's name on Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) outside the nation's capital.  The brief bill text — if it makes it through the rest of the legislative machinations of D.C. — would make the name change official and require "[a]ny reference in any law, regulation, map, document, paper, or other record of the United States" to IAD "considered a reference to the Donald J. Trump International Airport." READ THE FULL STORY AT TOWNHALL

Trump demands Biden apologize for proclaiming Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’

By Tom Ozimek | The Epoch Times President Joe Biden has declared March 31, 2024, which falls on Easter Sunday, as “Transgender Day of Visibility,” sparking uproar among conservatives and scathing criticism from former President Donald Trump, who demanded that the president apologize to millions of Christians in the United States. “Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans ...

Trump says he’ll post $175M in fraud case after new court order

By Catherine Yang | The Epoch Times The Appellate Division, First Judicial Department of the New York State Supreme Court has granted a stay of enforcement on the $464 million judgment on former President Donald Trump with conditions, allowing the Trump Organization to avert having assets imminently seized by the New York attorney general. The order came after defense attorneys argued a $464 million bond was impossible after having contracted four brokers to negotiate with more than 30 companies. Sureties don’t issue bonds that big for private individuals, and even if the Trump Organization was a public conglomerate they could issue such a bond to, it would require some $570 million in cash to cover additional premiums.

Trump doubles down on call for Liz Cheney to be prosecuted; Cheney fires back: ‘lies’

By MIRANDA NAZZARO | The Hill Former President Trump doubled down Sunday on his push for former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) to be prosecuted over allegations she and the other Jan. 6 committee members purposely withheld testimony and details from their investigation into the former president’s actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. Trump, on Truth Social on Sunday, posted an article former Trump administration aide Kash Patel published in The Federalist last week in which Patel claimed Cheney and the House Jan. 6 committee “suppressed evidence” about the former president’s authorization of National Guard troops during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. “SHE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR WHAT SHE HAS DONE TO OUR COUNTRY! SHE ILLEGALLY DESTROYED THE ...
