Trump has been the subject of criticism over the distribution of medical equipment from federal stockpiles, with some state governors saying they do not have enough ventilators available to properly care for patients hospitalized with COVID-19. “FEMA says, ‘we’re sending 400 ventilators,” New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said at a Wednesday news conference. “Really? What am I going to do with 40 ventilators when I need 30,000?” Newsweek reached out to Governor Cuomo’s office for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication....

Comey and McCabe were both subjected to random tax audits in 2017 and 2019, respectively. However, as noted by The New York Times, the odds of being selected for the audit is around one in 30,600, raising questions on the likelihood that two high-ranking FBI officials who were previously fired by Trump, and that the former wanted to prosecute, both happened to be chosen. Responding to the news, Laurence Tribe, professor emeritus of constitutional law at Harvard University, dismissed the idea that both men were randomly selected and implied that Trump may have been using the IRS as a weapon against his foes....

In the statement, posted to Twitter Tuesday evening by spokesperson Liz Harrington, Trump wrote, “The late, great Thomas Jefferson, one of our most important Founding Fathers, and a principal writer of the Constitution of the United States, is being ’evicted’ from the magnificent New York City Council Chamber.” Jefferson did not write the U.S. Constitution. He was in France at the time of the convention. He did, however, write the Declaration of Independence....

“These people should be indicted,” Trump said during a Thursday interview with Fox Business’ Mornings With Maria. “This was the greatest political crime in the history of our country. And that includes Obama, it includes Biden.” Trump said Barr had enough evidence to indict both his Democratic presidential opponent and former President Barack Obama for allegedly spying on his 2016 campaign. “We got plenty. You don’t need any more,” Trump said he told the attorney general....

According to a report published on Tuesday by the Associated Press, the number of former lobbyists who currently work or used to work in the Trump administration now totals seven.

Instead, the White House posted its own in-house, nearly two-minute video of Trump reading a statement at the signing event while supporters of the monument stand around the Resolute Desk. “For seven decades courageous women hosted rallies, published newspapers and worked tirelessly to secure women’s right to vote,” he says in the clip. “The relentless effort prevailed and 100 years ago the United States ratified the 19th Amendment.” The White House did not respond to Newsweek’s direct question about why the signing ceremony was not open to the media....

They were all over the place. And I have a feeling you’re going to be doing it again....

On Friday, House Democrats released six years of Trump’s tax records after years of legal battles. The move comes just a week after two congressional reports found that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) failed to audit the former president during the first two years of his presidency and began doing so only after House Democrats began oversight proceedings in 2019. In a statement sent to Newsweek, Trump warned that House Democrats “should have never” publicized the tax records—some of the most privately held documents in the nation—and that the U....
