<p>New York Attorney General <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/letitia-james" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Letitia James</a> filed a civil lawsuit against former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> and three of his children on Wednesday alleging business fraud.</p>
<p>James has led an investigation into Trump and his business for more than three years, a probe the former president has dismissed as a political witch hunt. When James deposed Trump last month as part of the investigation, the former president pleaded his Fifth Amendment rights hundreds of times.</p>
<p>The lawsuit targets the president, his business, and many associates. In addition to the former president, the lawsuit targets Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, Allen Weisselberg, Jeffrey McConney, The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, The Trump Organization, Inc., and others, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/21/politics/trump-new-york-attorney-general-letitia-james-fraud-lawsuit/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>.</p>
<p>James alleges that Trump, with help from his three eldest children and others, “used fraudulent and misleading asset valuations over 200 times in 10 years on his annual financial statements,” she said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/newyorkstateag/status/1572611509351772165" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> on social media after announcing her suit.</p>
<p>The lawsuit seeks to punish the targets with a $250 million penalty and a ban on operating any businesses in New York. James also seeks to ban Trump and the Trump organization from purchasing any real estate in New York for the next five years. The New York attorney general is also referring her investigation into Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal charges.</p>
<p>One of the allegations in the lawsuit claims that Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida golf resort and his current residence, was valued at $739 million. The resort’s valuation was about ten times greater than what it should have been valued at: roughly $75 million. The higher valuation was “based on the false premise that it was unrestricted property and could be developed for residential use even though Mr. Trump himself signed deeds donating his residential development rights and sharply restricting changes to the property,” the lawsuit says according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/york-ag-letitia-james-files-250m-lawsuit-trump/story?id=90240332&amp;cid=social_twitter_abcn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a>.</p>
<p>James’s investigation into Trump’s property valuations began shortly after she assumed office in January 2019. At the time, James had campaigned on investigating Trump and his business dealings.</p>
<p>“I’m running for attorney general because I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president when our fundamental rights are at stake,” she <a href="https://nowthisnews.com/videos/her/why-letitia-james-wants-to-take-on-donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> in 2018.</p>
<p>Trump has attacked James investigation into his business and family as cynical attempt to raise James’s stature and take down Trump for political reasons. Eric Trump reiterated his father’s attacks on James Wednesday after her lawsuit announcement, tweeting out a video of James past statements about the former president, often referring to him as “illegitimate.”</p>

New York

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/eric-trump-fbi-found-nothing-in-my-fathers-safe">Eric Trump</a>, son of former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>, claimed on Tuesday that the dozens of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi">FBI</a> agents who raided his father&#8217;s Florida home refused to give their lawyer a copy of the search warrant, instead allegedly forcing the lawyer to take a look at the warrant from about 10 feet away.</p>
<p>Trump’s Florida residence at Mar-a-Lago was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-details-emerge-about-what-fbi-agents-were-searching-for-in-raid-on-trump-home-report-says">raided</a> by the feds on Monday morning — though news broke about the incident in the evening. Agents <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pence-demands-dojs-continued-partisanship-be-addressed-after-unprecedented-fbi-raid-on-trumps-mar-a-lago">reportedly</a> went into numerous offices, checked safes, and took boxes of documents.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8220;There&#8217;s 30 agents there,&#8221; Eric <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11099205/Eric-Trump-reveals-REALLY-happened-FBI-raid.html">told</a> the Daily Mail. “They told our lawyer (Christina Bobb) … you have to leave the property right now. Turn off all security cameras.&#8221;</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8220;They would not give her the search warrant,&#8221; the businessman alleged. &#8220;So they showed it to her from about 10 feet away. They would not give her a copy of the search warrant.&#8221;</p>
<p>Eric seemed to question to the Daily Mail if the feds indeed had a valid search warrant.</p>
<p>Bobb has spoken out about the raid, too, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11099205/Eric-Trump-reveals-REALLY-happened-FBI-raid.html">telling</a> Real America News on Tuesday that she initially did not receive a physical copy of the warrant and was unable to see what the probable cause was that persuaded a judge to sign off on the warrant.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8220;When I arrived and kind of announced myself as the legal representation for President Trump, I asked to see a copy of the warrant,&#8221; she recalled.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8220;Initially they refused and said, &#8216;You know, we don&#8217;t have to show it to you,’” Bobb claimed. &#8220;And there was a little bit of an exchange about whether it was appropriate to withhold the warrant when you&#8217;re searching the residence of the former president, who&#8217;s likely to be the Republican nominee in the next election, though they conceded and let me see it.&#8221;</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">The feds &#8220;did not give me a copy of it right away, but they did let me see it,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">It&#8217;s unclear if Bobb is currently in possession of a copy of the warrant.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8220;It was very, I would say, thin,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And as you can tell from public records, the affidavit, the supporting documentation of what the probable cause was to obtain the warrant has been sealed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Later in the interview, Bobb called the federal raid &#8220;a weird flex.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This was a completely unnecessary power flex,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It was a weird flex. It&#8217;s quite honestly sad to see what they have done to our country.&#8221;</p>
<p>Even more curious, as highlighted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-doj-fbi-asked-him-to-put-lock-on-door-leading-to-documents-in-early-june">The Daily Wire</a>, Trump claimed on Wednesday that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-justice">Department of Justice</a> and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi">FBI</a> asked the former president&#8217;s legal team in June to put an extra lock on the door to safeguard the classified documents.</p>
<p>That lock was allegedly busted during the raid on Monday.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi">FBI agents</a> who raided former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">President Trump</a>’s Florida home Mar-A-Lago broke into his safe only to find it empty, Trump&#8217;s son Eric told <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fox-news">Fox News Channel</a>&#8216;s Brian Kilmeade.</p>
<p>Eric Trump told the newsman 30 members of the FBI were involved in the raid, and that it was to find documents that should have gone to the National Archives. It was not known if they retrieved the documents, but whatever they sought was not in the safe, according to the 45th president&#8217;s son.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">JUST spoke to <a href="https://twitter.com/EricTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@erictrump</a>, nothing in the safe, FBI agents 30 approx raided on behalf of nation archives …This is outrageous- has to have come from <a href="https://twitter.com/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@POTUS</a> and/or someone in White House.</p>
<p>&mdash; Brian Kilmeade (@kilmeade) <a href="https://twitter.com/kilmeade/status/1556795231823183872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 9, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>“Nothing was in the safe,” Kilmeade said, quoting Eric Trump.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/08/08/us/trump-fbi-raid#trump-fbi-mar-a-lago">The New York Times</a>, former President Trump had delayed returning 15 boxes of material that had been requested by officials with the National Archives but ultimately delivered them in January.</p>
<p>The documents were reportedly taken to a sensitive compartmented information facility in the Washington D.C. area.</p>
<p>“This unfortunate attempt by the media to twist a story, along with the help of anonymous sources, is just another sensationalized distraction of an otherwise uneventful effort to persevere the legacy of President Trump and a good faith effort to ensure the fulfillment of the Presidential Records Act,&#8221; Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich said the following month. Sadly, the business of ‘news’ has become reliant on the next manufactured Trump ‘investigation,’ and so here we are. It’s a disgrace.”</p>
<p>In February 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration reportedly <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/02/09/trump-archives-justice-department/">asked the Justice Department</a> to examine Trump’s handling of White House records.</p>
<p>Trump confirmed that FBI agents broke into his safe in a lengthy statement released after the raid Monday.</p>
<p>“After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://twitter.com/realDailyWire/status/1556777920336728064">said</a>. &#8220;It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024 &#8230; Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries.”</p>
<p>“Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level; not seen before,” he continued. “They even broke into my safe! What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.”</p>


Celebrity Sightings In New York City – July 20, 2022

Eric Trump: FBI Found Nothing In My Father’s Safe

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ivana Trump was laid to rest Wednesday at her ex-husband <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump&#8217;s</a> Bedminster Golf Club cemetery following an intimate, invite-only “Celebration of Life” funeral service at St. Vincent Ferrer Church.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ivana was buried in a rose gold-colored casket overlooking the first hole, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11035719/Ivana-Trumps-final-resting-place-revealed-cemetery-Trumps-Bedminster-Golf-Club.html">Daily Mail</a>. A discreet granite grave marker was also put in place.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All three of the former president and Ivana’s children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric, were present at the ceremony and spoke about their mother’s everlasting impact on their lives. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Growing up, my mother didn’t tell me a woman could do anything she wanted to — she showed me,” Ivanka said during the eulogy, reported The Daily Mail. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“She was a trailblazer to men and women alike. My mother once told me there was nothing she couldn’t do in heels. She taught us how to spear fish and then cook what we caught. My mom expanded our minds.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don Jr. also spoke, ending his recollection of fond memories by saying, “I love you, mom.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eric Trump also had kind words for his late mother. “She had brains; she had beauty. She was the embodiment of the American dream,” he said of Ivana. “She was a force of nature, could beat any man down the slopes, any woman on the runway. She ruled the three of us [kids] with an iron fist but also a heart of gold.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The publication reported that Trump purchased the golf course in 2007 and wanted to erect a giant mausoleum for his family.  When city officials vetoed his plan, Trump tried for a 1,000-plot cemetery and eventually got approved for 10 graves for his immediate family members.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 73-year-old socialite reportedly died from injuries that she sustained after falling down the stairs at her home in New York City, The Daily Wire previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ivana-trumps-cause-of-death-revealed-following-autopsy-report"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Her death was ruled an accident. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Ivana Trump,” Trump’s children said in a statement just after her death. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Our mother was an incredible woman — a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and a caring mother and friend. Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children grit and toughness, compassion, and determination. She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump and Ivana divorced in 1992. They remained on good terms until her time of death.</span></p>

<p>Law enforcement officials had received a call to do a wellness check on Ivana, 73, on Thursday because someone close to her had called and said that they had not seen her recently. She reportedly was found near the bottom of a staircase when first responders arrived.</p>
<p>Donald Trump announced his ex-wife’s death on Thursday afternoon in a post on social media, writing: “I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City.”</p>
<p>“She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life,” he added. “Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!”</p>
<p>Ivana Marie Zelnícková was born under communist rule in the former Czechoslovakia. She was athletically gifted growing up, <a href="https://www.biography.com/personality/ivana-trump">participating</a> in competitive skiing starting at the age of six and continuing to ski through college. She was also reportedly an alternate for the country’s Olympic team in 1972.</p>
<p>Ivana later immigrated to Canada in the 1970s where she worked as a ski instructor before starting her modeling career, which landed her in New York in 1976 where she quickly met Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Ivana married Donald in 1977. The couple got divorced in 1992.</p>
<p>The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/14/nyregion/ivana-trump-dead.html">reported</a> that Ivana was a “critical part” in Donald building his real-estate business, describing her as extremely hard working and with a keen eye for details. At one point she served as vice president for interior design at the Trump Organization.</p>
<p>Ivana and Donald were on good terms in recent years, <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/05/ivana-trump-president-twitter-habit-243492">reportedly</a> speaking as often as once a week, as she supported him politically and encouraged his use of Twitter.</p>

Ivana Trump’s 3 Children Post Heartfelt Tributes After Her Death

<p>Ivana Trump, the first wife of former President Donald Trump, died unexpectedly on Thursday at the age of 73 after paramedics were called to her home to respond to a person in cardiac arrest.</p>
<p>Local news stations reported that the death is not considered suspicious as she is believed to have passed away from natural causes. City officials will still investigate and release a report on the official cause of death.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Ivana Trump,&#8221; Trump&#8217;s children said in a statement. &#8220;Our mother was an incredible woman — a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and a caring mother and friend. Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children grit and toughness, compassion, and determination. She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren.&#8221;</p>

<p>Ivana Trump was Donald Trump’s first wife and is the mother of his three oldest children, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump.</p>

Ivana Trump’s Cause Of Death Revealed, Reports Say

<p>Eric Trump told Daily Wire host Candace Owens in an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/episode-47-the-unsung-hero-eric-trump">exclusive interview</a> Tuesday that he&#8217;s frankly &#8220;pissed off&#8221; about what&#8217;s going on with the COVID-19 vaccine in the United States, highlighting mandates from the Biden administration and other Democratic leaders that have cost Americans&#8217; their livelihood, including formerly media-praised pandemic first responders.</p>
<p>&#8220;What is your opinion, in general, on the COVID vaccination situation?&#8221; Owens asked Eric.</p>
<p>&#8220;Pissed off,&#8221; he responded bluntly.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not because I&#8217;m an &#8216;anti-vaxxer,&#8217; but because you have a political party going around for years and years and years, going, &#8216;my body my choice,&#8217; and it pertained to abortion. Then all of sudden, it&#8217;s no longer your body your choice,&#8221; Eric said.</p>
<p>&#8220;This hit me in a very personal way,&#8221; the businessman continued.</p>
<p>A Secret Service agent who was assigned to Eric for nearly the entire duration of the Trump presidency was fired and missed out on their pension for not being vaccinated, Eric explained. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s so wrong,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Health care workers once praised as heroes are now being fired for refusing the COVID-19 vaccination, Eric noted. &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t matter that you were there when things were really bad,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Now you either do what we tell you or we&#8217;re gonna fire you like a dog.&#8221;</p>
<p>Owens then asked Eric about an apparent &#8220;disconnect&#8221; former President Donald Trump has on the issue of vaccine mandates, while noting that Trump did tell her he was against such mandates during their exclusive sit-down interview in December.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s definitely a disconnect between him and his supporters on the vaccine,&#8221; Owens said. &#8220;I think he&#8217;s not understanding why they don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s great, and we&#8217;re like, how do you not see the authoritarianism that&#8217;s come behind this and what the vaccine has come to represent?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think he very much does,&#8221; Eric said of his father. &#8220;I disagree, in saying that, I think he very much does [understand that].&#8221;</p>
<p>Eric went on to underscore the importance of &#8220;choice&#8221; when it comes to getting the vaccine. He also noted that people of different ages and different healths will have to weigh what&#8217;s best for them, individually.</p>
<p>When Owens sat down with former President Trump in an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-40-unscripted-with-donald-j-trump2">exclusive interview</a>, he praised his administration’s accomplishment of getting the vaccine to Americans in record time and championed the effectiveness of the shot. Trump also told Owens he’s against the vaccine being mandated, as well as mandates forcing children to wear masks. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dishonest-candace-responds-after-media-pit-her-against-trump-in-interview-discussing-covid-vax">The Daily Wire</a> reported:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“Where do you stand on these vaccine mandates?” Owens asked Trump. “Obviously, I know that you are pro-vaccine … you did everything you could to get this vaccine out. I know where you stand on the vaccine.”</em></p>
<p><em>“It was one of the greatest achievements — we did it in less than nine months,” Trump responded.</em></p>
<p><em>“100%,” Owens agreed. “But now it’s taken a twist, right? … We went from: this a good thing, people should have this option, to: military men, you’re going to have to resign because you’re not getting this vaccine.”</em></p>
<p><em>“Well, I stand on — forget about the mandates, people have to have their freedom,” the former president answered.</em></p></blockquote>

‘Pissed Off’: Eric Trump Gets Blunt About COVID Vaccine, Talks Father’s Vax Position

Candace Owens

Vaccine Mandate

<p>In his memoir, “Beautiful Things,” Hunter Biden reportedly <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/04/hunter-biden-trump-children-nepotism">takes aim</a> at former President Trump’s children, Donald Jr. and Eric, writing, “Do you think if any of the Trump children ever tried to get a job outside of their father’s business that his name wouldn’t figure into the calculation? My response has always been to work harder so that my accomplishments stand on their own.”</p>
<p>Biden’s comments in the book, which was released April 6, came after Donald Trump Jr. told <a href="https://www.axios.com/donald-trump-jr-hunter-biden-profiting-presidency-c914c6fb-703d-437a-8543-d28ef8865999.html">Axios</a> in March 2020 he wanted to debate Hunter Biden regarding who had benefited more financially from their father being in the federal government.</p>
<p>Trump Jr. stated, &#8220;We can go full transparency, we show everything, and we can talk about all of the places where I am supposedly grifting but Hunter Biden isn&#8217;t.” Asked if he would release his tax returns, Trump Jr. said, &#8220;If we do it both, 100%. Let&#8217;s talk about who profited off of whose public service. Happy to do it. Let&#8217;s make it happen.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump Jr. <a href="https://twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence/status/1184647737050062848">stated on Fox News</a> in October 2019, “When you’re the father and your son’s entire career is dependent on that, they own you. They’ve bought Biden Inc., and they’ve been doing it domestically, whether it was MBNA Bank, whether it was Amtrak, whatever it was, domestically, when he was a senator, and had influence over domestic policy, and they started doing it internationally the second Joe Biden became vice-president and had authority abroad.”</p>
<p>The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/25/us/politics/25biden.html">reported</a> in 2008 on Hunter Biden&#8217;s connection with MBNA: &#8220;During the years that Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. was helping the credit card industry win passage of a law making it harder for consumers to file for bankruptcy protection, his son had a consulting agreement that lasted five years with one of the largest companies pushing for the changes, aides to Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign acknowledged Sunday. Mr. Biden’s son, Hunter, received consulting fees from the MBNA Corporation from 2001 to 2005 for work on online banking issues.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/flashback-hunter-bidens-one-qualification-for-amtrak-board-was-taking-trains/">The Washington Free Beacon</a> reported in October 2019 on Hunter&#8217;s Amtrak position: “Hunter Biden&#8217;s only qualification for obtaining a seat on the Amtrak board of directors in 2006 was that he often rode trains. That’s according to his father Joe Biden&#8217;s Delaware colleague in the Senate, Tom Carper, who offered the sole nomination speech for the younger Biden when his name was presented in the Senate Commerce Committee.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hunter Biden cited his time on the board of the directors of Amtrak as <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/hunter-biden-i-had-as-much-knowledge-as-anyone-else-on-board-of-ukraine-gas-company/">one of the reasons</a> to justify his position on the board of the Ukrainian company Burisma.</p>
<p>Roughly two weeks after Trump Jr.’s remarks,  he again targeted Hunter Biden, <a href="https://twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence/status/1184647737050062848">telling</a> Fox News, “I wish my name was Hunter Biden. I could go abroad and make millions off my father’s presidency. I’d be a really rich guy.”</p>
<p>Stylecaster <a href="https://stylecaster.com/hunter-biden-shade-donald-trump-jr-eric/">reported</a> other comments from Hunter Biden’s book:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>At one point in the memoir, the father of five calls out fellow First Sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump for finding success through nepotism. The former president’s sons have worked with him for the entirety of their professional careers, whereas Hunter notes, “I’ve worked for someone other than my father, rose and fell on my own.” “There’s no question my last name was a coveted credential. That has always been the case,” Hunter writes later in the memoir, acknowledging his own privilege as Joe Biden’s son.</em></p></blockquote>

‘Ever Tried To Get A Job Outside Of Their Father’s Business?’ Hunter Biden Targets Trump Children

Hunter Biden

<p>Lara Trump, wife to Donald Trump&#8217;s son Eric, posted messages to social media Tuesday evening apparently from Facebook and Instagram informing her that posts &#8220;in the voice of Donald Trump&#8221; are banned from their platforms.</p>
<p>Lara recently held an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CND8tIwrfc4/">interview</a> with former President Donald Trump. A <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CND8tIwrfc4/">post</a> with an images of her and Trump taken during the interview is on Instagram, but the interview itself is not on the platform.</p>
<p>According to messages from the platforms, clips from the interview have already been removed from Facebook. Instagram issued a warning to Lara that any footage from the interview will be removed if posted and will result in punishment in the form of &#8220;additional limitations on the accounts.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CNENWoUrQVn/">message</a> allegedly from Facebook reads:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>We are reaching out to let you know that we removed content from Lara Trump&#8217;s Facebook Page that featured President Trump speaking: In line with the block we placed on Donald Trump&#8217;s Facebook and Instagram accounts, further content posted in the voice of Donald Trump will be removed and result in additional limitations on the accounts.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>A message allegedly from Instagram reads:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I saw on Lara Trump&#8217;s Instagram account that she will be hosting an interview with President Donald Trump tonight. Just a reminder that content posted on Facebook and Instagram in the voice of President Trump is not currently allowed on our platforms (including new posts with President Trump speaking), and will be removed if posted, resulting in additional limitations on accounts that posted it. </em></p>
<p><em>This guidance applies to all campaign accounts and Pages, including Team Trump, other campaign messaging vehicles on our platforms, and former surrogates.</em></p></blockquote>

<p>Captioning screenshots of the messages from Facebook and Instagram, Lara wrote, &#8220;and just like that, we are one step closer to [George] Orwell’s 1984. Wow.&#8221;</p>
<p>YouTube has similarly moved to further limit President Trump&#8217;s words from the platform.</p>
<p>For example, it was made clear earlier this month that YouTube has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/youtube-bans-trumps-full-cpac-speech-unless-users-add-countervailing-viewpoints-about-election-claims">banned</a> the platforming of Trump’s full 2021 CPAC speech from their platform unless users add “countervailing viewpoints” about Trump’s refuted elections claims to their post.</p>
<p>At the time, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/youtube-bans-trumps-full-cpac-speech-unless-users-add-countervailing-viewpoints-about-election-claims">The Daily Wire</a> reached out to YouTube about the unavailability of the full speech, specifically asking why the outlet Right Side Broadcasting Network had their video of Trump’s full speech removed from the platform, as well as being hit with a two-week suspension.</p>
<p>YouTube spokeswoman Ivy Choi told The Daily Wire that the video violated their “presidential election integrity policy,” which was implemented on December 9.</p>
<p><span id="m_3146857736406047425gmail-docs-internal-guid-121ca037-7fff-ab37-a175-2ff3d37d554c">“We enforce our Community Guidelines consistently, regardless of speaker or political leaning,” Choi told The Daily Wire. “In accordance with our established presidential election integrity policy, which prohibits content uploaded after the safe harbor deadline claiming widespread fraud changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, we removed this video from Right Side Broadcasting Network.

Conservatives Gather At Annual CPAC Event

FB, Instagram: Any Post In ‘Voice Of Donald Trump’ Banned; Lara Trump: ‘One Step Closer To Orwell’s 1984’

<p>On Friday, as the results of the presidential election were still being tabulated, CNN anchor Jake Tapper repeatedly mocked President Trump’s children, referring to them as “spawn.” Tapper referred to the “untethered and wild allegations being made by the president and his spawn” and encouraged people to “check out the Twitter feed of the president&#8217;s spawn, because it is like rantings in crayon by somebody having an LSD trip.”</p>
<p>The three-way conversation among Tapper and CNN’s chief political correspondent Dana Bash and CNN’s White House correspondent Abby Phillip commenced with Tapper pronouncing, “Dana, the three of us have been noting the response or lack thereof from Republican officials when it comes to the untethered and wild allegations being made by the president and his spawn and his supporters about the election, all of the crazy and false claims about it being stolen.”</p>
<p>Tapper brought up a statement from GOP Utah Senator Mitt Romney, referring to it as “mealy mouthed” because Romney started by acknowledging President Trump was within his rights to request recounts or call for an investigation of alleged voting irregularities where evidence exists.</p>
<p>Phillip commented, “And it&#8217;s worse when you watch Fox News where many of the president&#8217;s advisers and supporters and campaign aides are going on the television, speaking to the president&#8217;s supporters every single day, reinforcing falsehoods, frankly fake manipulated videos on social media, these are all things that are corrosive to democracy and not enough republicans are being specific about what the problem is.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tapper replied: &#8220;And you&#8217;re upset about what you see on Fox and you have every right to be, you should check out the Twitter feed of the president&#8217;s spawn, because it is like rantings in crayon by somebody having an LSD trip. I mean, is somebody — these are claims that are just so wild that they wouldn&#8217;t even make, forget Fox, they wouldn&#8217;t make Fox business where, you know, are all sorts of facts go to die.&#8221;</p>

<p>Transcript:</p>
<blockquote><p>TAPPER: And Dana, the three of us have been noting the response or lack thereof from republican officials when it comes to the untethered and wild allegations being made by the president and his spawn and his supporters about the election, all of the crazy and false claims about it being stolen. There is some new development from Senator Mitt Romney, Republican of Utah. What does he have to say?</p>
<p>BASH: Well, we were talking last night. He did put out a statement last night.</p>
<p>TAPPER: Mealy mouthed? BASH: Fine, he spoke out, but he does kind of said let the votes</p>
<p>happen. Not stronger right now, but we&#8217;re seeing on Twitter effectively he says that doing things, he, meaning the president, he is wrong to say that the election was rigged, corrupt, and stolen. Doing so damages the cause of freedom here and around the world, weakens the institutions that lie at the foundation of the republic, and recklessly in flames destructive and dangerous passions. Wow.</p>
<p>TAPPER: That&#8217;s strong. But there was a sentence at the top.</p>
<p>BASH: The top had said the president is within his rights to request recounts, to call for investigation of alleged voting irregularities where evidence exists and to exhaust legal remedies. Doing these things is consistent with our election process. That is kind of fine.</p>
<p>TAPPER: That&#8217;s fine. Absolutely. Yes, and there&#8217;s a recount going on right now in Georgia because the margin of victory there for Joe Biden is so slim. You see there right now, it&#8217;s 1,567 votes, that&#8217;s within half a percentage point. So there is a recap that the Trump campaign is asked for that&#8217;s going forward.</p>
<p>BASH: Yes, but the fact that he is being so forward leaning more than we&#8217;ve seen any prominent republican do in saying to the president cut it out, cut it you&#8217;re your undermining democracy is noteworthy. Not it&#8217;s not as — Mitt Romney has not done that before, but in this case at this moment in time, I think it is significant.</p>
<p>PHILLIP: Yes, it&#8217;s a correction and it was a necessary one, because I think his previous statement left the impression that he was sort of not willing to denounce these broad, sweeping claims of fraud that everyone knows has no basis in fact. And this one is a lot more clear about what is within the leans of what is appropriate and acceptable in a democracy and what is not.</p>
<p>And there should be a lot more republicans making stronger statements frankly about what is going on here, because there is really no justification for the kinds of things that you were hearing from President Trump last night. Almost everything that he claimed was evidence of fraud was not true.</p>
<p>TAPPER: Right.</p>
<p>PHILLIP: Or not evidence of fraud at all. And it&#8217;s worse when you watch Fox News where many of the president&#8217;s advisers and supporters and campaign aides are going on the television, speaking to the president&#8217;s supporters every single day, reinforcing falsehoods, frankly fake manipulated videos on social media, these are all things that are corrosive to democracy and not enough republicans are being specific about what the problem is.</p>
<p>TAPPER: And you&#8217;re upset about what you see on Fox and you have every right to be, you should check out the Twitter feed of the president&#8217;s spawn, because it is like rantings in cran by somebody having an LSD trip. I mean, is somebody — these are claims that are just so wild that they wouldn&#8217;t even make, forget Fox, they wouldn&#8217;t make Fox business where, you know, are all sorts of facts go to die.</p></blockquote>

WATCH: Jake Tapper Repeatedly Mocks Trump’s Children As ‘Spawn’

Jake Tapper

<p>Eric Trump painted a dark portrait on Tuesday night of how the Left views the United States, saying during his speech at the Republican National Convention that they believe America is the source of the world&#8217;s problems.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the view of the radical Democrats, America is the source of the world’s problems,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;As a result, they believe the only path forward is to erase history and forget the past. They want to destroy the monuments of our forefathers.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They want to disrespect our flag – burn the stars and stripes that represent patriotism and the American dream,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They want to disrespect our national anthem by taking a knee, while our armed forces lay down their lives every day to protect our freedom. They do not want the Pledge of Allegiance in our schools. Many of them don’t want one nation under God.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The Democrats want to defund and disrespect our law enforcement,&#8221; he said. “The Democrats want an America where your thoughts and opinions are censored when they do not align with their own. President Reagan said, &#8216;Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. &#8230; It must be fought for and it must be protected.&#8217; This is the fight that we are in right now — and it is a fight that only my father can win.&#8221;</p>

<p>TRANSCRIPT:</p>
<blockquote><p>Good evening, America.</p>
<p>When I stood on this Convention stage four years ago, no one fully understood the historic change that was about to take place.</p>
<p>We could all feel it. Something was happening. A movement was forming just below the surface.</p>
<p>The forgotten man and woman, voiceless in Washington, D.C., were preparing to rise up.</p>
<p>Our movement followed the pattern of so many that came before us.</p>
<p>&#8211;First, we were ignored.</p>
<p>&#8211;Then we were laughed at.</p>
<p>&#8211;Then they fought us.</p>
<p>And then – together – we won. From that moment forward, America came first.</p>
<p>America started winning again. America became respected again.</p>
<p>But with every movement, there is a counter-movement.</p>
<p>In the view of the radical Democrats, America is the source of the world’s problems.</p>
<p>As a result, they believe the only path forward is to erase history and forget the past. They want to destroy the monuments of our forefathers.</p>
<p>They want to disrespect our flag – burn the stars and stripes that represent patriotism and the American dream.</p>
<p>They want to disrespect our national anthem by taking a knee, while our armed forces lay down their lives every day to protect our freedom.</p>
<p>They do not want the Pledge of Allegiance in our Schools. Many of them don’t want one nation under God.</p>
<p>The Democrats want to defund and disrespect our law enforcement.</p>
<p>The Democrats want an America where your thoughts and opinions are censored when they do not align with their own.</p>
<p>President Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. … It must be fought for and it must be protected.”</p>
<p>This is the fight that we are in right now &#8212; and it is a fight that only my father can win.</p>
<p>My father ran, not because he needed the job, but because he knew hardworking people across this great country were being left behind.</p>
<p>The media mocked these patriots and “the flyover states” in which they lived.</p>
<p>They ignored the Trump flags.</p>
<p>They ignored the millions of MAGA banners and barns painted in Red, White, and Blue.</p>
<p>The Silent Majority had no one fighting for them &#8212; in either party.</p>
<p>Their so-called leaders were bowing to China, bribing Iran, and spending more time worrying about how they’d be received by the elites in Paris than how Americans would provide for their families in Pittsburgh.</p>
<p>Our family lost friends, but it only pushed us to fight harder.</p>
<p>My father pledged to every American in every city, state, and town that he was going to Make America Great Again.</p>
<p>And so began “The Great American Comeback.”</p>
<p>Almost immediately, taxes were slashed, regulations were cut, and the economy soared to new heights &#8212; heights never seen before.</p>
<p>Wages went through the roof, unemployment reached historic lows, especially for black Americans, Hispanic Americans, and women.</p>
<p>Trade deals were ripped up and renegotiated — lights were turned back on in abandoned factories across our country.</p>
<p>Trillions of dollars were repatriated back into the United States — which had been sitting in foreign lands for far too long.</p>
<p>Once again, America became the envy of the world. And with that renewed strength came leverage.</p>
<p>The President demanded that our allies pay their fair share for the defense of the Western World.</p>
<p>My father rebuilt the mighty American military – adding new jets, aircraft carriers. He increased wages for our incredible men and women in uniform; he expanded our military defense budget to $721 billion per year.</p>
<p>America was no longer weak in the eye of the enemy.</p>
<p>The moment President Trump ordered special forces to kill some of the deadliest terrorists on the planet &#8212; the day the mighty MOAB was dropped on insurgent camps &#8212; is the day America took a stance to never be defeated by the enemy.</p>
<p>Al-Baghdadi? Soleimani? Dead!</p>
<p>Over and over. Issue after issue. The economy, the wall, the military, trade deals, tax cuts, Supreme Court Justices, VA hospitals, prescription drugs, school choice, “Right to Try,” moving the embassy to Jerusalem, peace in the Middle East, never-ending wars were finally ended.</p>
<p>Promises made, and promises, for the first time, were kept.</p>
<p>Most politicians spend their entire careers in Washington, D.C., and get absolutely nothing accomplished.</p>
<p>For example: Joe Biden. Joe Biden is a politician who has been in government for 47 years.</p>
<p>He’s a career politician who’s never signed the front of a check, and does not know the slightest thing about the American worker or the American business &#8212; the engine which fuels the greatest economy the world has ever known.</p>
<p>The same politician who has been a total pushover for Communist China, and someone who would be a giant relief for terrorists who’ve now spent years running, hiding, and being taken out by the most talented military known to man.</p>
<p>Joe Biden has pledged to raise your taxes by 4 trillion dollars &#8212; 82% of Americans will see their taxes go up significantly.</p>
<p>Biden has pledged to stop border wall construction, and give amnesty and health care to all illegal immigrants.</p>
<p>Biden has pledged to defund the police and take away your cherished Second Amendment.</p>
<p>My father, on the other hand, delivered the largest tax cuts in American history &#8212; knows if you do not have a border, you do not have a country &#8212; and will always support law enforcement and your right to keep and bear arms.</p>
<p>Every day, my father fights for the American people. The forgotten man and woman of this country. The ones who embody the American Spirit, which is unlike anything else in the world.</p>
<p>It built the New York City skyline, it built the Hoover Dam, and soon — under my father’s leadership — it will send Americans to Mars.</p>
<p>The American Spirit can be felt in the majesty of the Grand Canyon, the shadow of Mt. Rushmore, and in the stillness of the air at Gettysburg.</p>
<p>It can be seen in the wide-eyed wonder of every American child as they take their first breath in the greatest country the world has ever known.</p>
<p>It defeated fascism, it defeated communism, and in 68 days, it will defeat the empty, oppressive, and radical views of the extreme Left.</p>
<p>Ronald Reagan&#8217;s quote ends with this simple warning: “One day we could spend our sunset years telling our children … what it was once like in, the United States, where men (and women) were free.”</p>
<p>Under President Trump, freedom will never be a thing of the past. That’s what a vote for Donald Trump represents. It’s a vote for the American Spirit, the American dream, and for the American flag.</p>
<p>To the law enforcement officer who is being attacked, betrayed, and whose job they are trying to make extinct – my father will fight for you.</p>
<p>To all houses of worship and to all people of faith, stripped of our religious freedoms and religious liberties – my father will fight for you.</p>
<p>To the voiceless – shamed, censored, and canceled – my father will fight for you.</p>
<p>To our farmers who work dawn to dusk to keep our plates full – my father will fight for you.</p>
<p>To every single mother and father, to our veterans, our coal miners, and to the American worker – my father will fight for you.</p>
<p>And to every proud American who bleeds Red, White, and Blue – my father will continue to fight for you.</p>
<p>In closing, I’d like to speak directly to my father.</p>
<p>I miss working alongside you every single day, but I’m damn proud to be on the front lines of this fight.</p>
<p>I’m proud of what you are doing for this country.</p>
<p>I’m proud to show my children what their grandfather is fighting for.</p>
<p>I’m proud to watch you give them hell.</p>
<p>Never stop. Continue to be unapologetic. Keep fighting for what is right.</p>
<p>You are making America strong again.</p>
<p>You are making America safe again.</p>
<p>You are making America proud again.</p>
<p>And, yes, together with the forgotten man and woman — who are finally forgotten no more — you are making America Great Again!</p>
<p>Dad, let’s make Uncle Robert very proud this week.</p>
<p>Let’s go get another 4 years.</p>
<p>I love you very much!</p>
<p>God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America!</p></blockquote>

Eric Trump: The ‘Extreme Left’ Wants To Destroy U.S., Believes U.S. Is Source Of World’s Problems

Republican National Convention

<p>The White House trolled Twitter early on Friday after the left-leaning social media company censored a tweet from President Donald Trump in which the president denounced the violent riots last night in Minneapolis.</p>
<p>&#8220;I can’t stand back &amp; watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership. Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard &amp; get the job done right,&#8221; Trump tweeted. &#8220;These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!&#8221;</p>
<p>Twitter censored the second part of Trump&#8217;s tweet, claiming that it was &#8220;glorifying violence.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Trump administration trolled Twitter by reposting the same tweet from the White House&#8217;s verified Twitter account and posting it as a quote from the president: &#8220;&#8216;These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!'&#8221;</p>

<p>Trump fired back at Twitter early on Friday morning, just a few hours after Twitter censored his account, writing: &#8220;Twitter is doing nothing about all of the lies &amp; propaganda being put out by China or the Radical Left Democrat Party. They have targeted Republicans, Conservatives &amp; the President of the United States. Section 230 should be revoked by Congress. Until then, it will be regulated!&#8221;</p>

<p>The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-censors-trump-tweet-denouncing-riots-took-no-action-on-tweets-supporting-riots">reported</a> early Friday morning:</p>
<blockquote><p>Twitter’s actions against the president come after Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-signs-executive-order-taking-action-on-social-media-bias-we-cant-let-this-continue-to-happen">signed an executive order</a> on Thursday that took action against social media companies for repeatedly discriminating against and censoring conservatives. He issued the executive order after Twitter started applying controversial labels to his tweets while largely ignoring false statements from Democrats and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).</p>
<p>Twitter took no action against numerous tweets that appeared to encourage rioting, destruction of property, or fighting against law enforcement.</p></blockquote>
<p>Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-censors-trump-tweet-denouncing-riots-took-no-action-on-tweets-supporting-riots">strong ties</a> to left-wing activism and has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-censors-trump-tweet-denouncing-riots-took-no-action-on-tweets-supporting-riots">promoted content</a> that essentially calls for the elimination of the Republican Party and imposing radical policies.</p>
<p>Eric Trump responded to the controversy by writing on Twitter: &#8220;Aside from the outward facing bias of @Twitter, there is hardly a single influential conservative on this platform who doesn’t believe their account has been negatively manipulated &amp; influenced behind the scenes. I’m thrilled to see @realDonaldTrump take decisive action.&#8221;</p>
