Trump Asked Melania To Don A Bikini For His Buddies, Insider Claims

No one can say Donald Trump has a reputation for respecting women, but now an account from a former Trump insider appears to reveal the true depth of his creepiness.Not even his wife, Melania Trump, was spared from his lechy comments, according to recordings of Australian businessman Anthony Pratt obtained by “60 Minutes Australia.”Once a major Trump donor, Pratt has since been interviewed by investigators with Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office, per reports from The New York Times. He is listed as a potential witness when Trump goes to trial for mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House in 2021.In the audio, which was recorded without the billionaire paper-and-packaging exec’s knowledge, and made sometime during Trump’s time as president, Pratt described a time T...

Trump Falsely Claims Mar-A-Lago Is World’s Most Expensive House

Former President Donald Trump laid out one of his biggest whoppers yet outside his civil fraud trial in New York City on Tuesday.Now he’s falsely claiming that his Mar-A-Lago estate is “the most expensive house probably in the world.”Trump made the bogus claim outside the New York City courtroom where he and his company are currently on trial for allegedly massively overvaluing his assets and net worth to deceive banks, insurers and others that financed his projects.Outside the courtroom, Trump accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of “ranting and raving like a lunatic” and claimed that she “defrauded the public with this trial.”But he saved his biggest grievance over the perceived value of his Mar-A-Lago property, which has come under scrutiny during the trial.

Trump says Mar-a-Lago is worth $1.8 billion. Not long ago, his own company thought that was over $1.7 billion too high.

After a New York judge ruled on Tuesday that Donald Trump and his company had for years used fraudulent methods to value his properties, Trump zeroed in on the ruling's section about his home: Mar-a-Lago."This highly partisan Democrat 'Judge' (All the Clubs, etc.) just ruled that Mar-a-Lago was WORTH just 18 Million Dollars when, in fact, it may be worth 100 times that amount," Trump wrote. In fact, the judge had cited Palm Beach County Property Appraiser valuations putting the property at between $18 million and $28 million, depending on the year, from 2011 to 2021.Trump might think Mar-a-Lago is worth $1.8 billion, but in 2020, his own company said the Palm Beach appraiser was right. That year, the county valued Mar-a-Lago at $27 million.  "The Petiti...

Judge Aileen Cannon to decide if Trump co-defendants in Mar-a-Lago documents case need new lawyers

Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday ordered a hearing to determine whether lawyers for former President Donald Trump’s two co-defendants in the upcoming Mar-a-Lago documents trial have conflicts of interest that could shake up the explosive case. The south Florida federal judge set an Oct.12 hearing that could lead to new legal counsel being appointed for either valet Walt Nauta or property manager Carlos D’Oliveira, who are both charged with helping Trump obstruct justice. Prosecutors say that Nauta’s lawyer Stanley Woodward may be unable to properly represent Nauta because he previously also represented a Mar-a-Lago IT worker who flipped on Trump after switching lawyers.
