The official said that the Secret Service had even tried to deny a request from Trump's team to install metal detectors at his son Barron Trump's high school graduation in May, which the former president attended with his wife, Melania. The official told The Times that the Secret Service had argued that the graduation was not a "political" event before eventually caving in. Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi previously said that "there's an untrue assertion that a member of the former president's team requested additional resources and that those were rebuffed." Crooks was killed by a Secret Service sniper. Kimberly Cheatle, the director of the Secret Service, is set to testify before Congress on Monday.

Vice President Kamala Harris is already seeing a wave of big money donor support following President Joe Biden dropping out of the race, with the help of bundlers who have assisted her in past races, according to people familiar with the matter. Lasry helped raise money for the vice president when she ran against Biden in the 2020 Democratic primary. Hoffman has donated at least $10 million to supportive Biden political action committees so far this election, according to Federal Election Commission records. The campaign filed the new name of their campaign, "Harris for President," with the FEC. That would come with the added risk of donors potentially deciding not to donate to the new campaign, Massoglia said.

☆ Judge Rejects Bid to Dismiss Trump Libel Suit Against Pulitzer Board
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-21 | by ( Rebecca Robbins | More About Rebecca Robbins | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

A state judge in Florida has given former President Donald J. Trump a legal victory, refusing to toss a libel lawsuit filed by Mr. Trump over a statement made by the board of the Pulitzer Prizes on coverage of the 2016 Trump campaign’s connections to Russia. The ruling on Saturday by Robert Pegg, a senior judge on a circuit court in Florida, means that Mr. Trump’s case will proceed, opening the door to a discovery phase that may allow Mr. Trump’s lawyers to question Pulitzer officials, who issue the most prestigious prizes in journalism. After the prize was awarded, a special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, investigating the Russian interference allegations, said he could find no evidence that Mr. Trump or his aides had coordinated with the interference effort. Mr. Trump and others who disputed the reporting had urged the Pulitzer Prize Board to revoke the award, but in its 2022 statement, the Pulitzer Prize board said two independent reviews had found nothing to discredit the articles. The reviews found that “no passages or headlines, contentions or assertions in any of the winning submissions were discredited by facts that emerged subsequent to the conferral of the prizes,” the board said in the statement.

California Rep.

"We know which candidate in this election puts the American people first: our President, Joe Biden," she said.

US President Joe Biden departs from the White House for Las Vegas on July 15, 2024, in Washington, DC. The decision rules out the possibility that a process designed to quickly nominate Biden would begin as soon as next week, which some Biden allies had pushed for. The House and Senate are out of town this week, but return to Washington the week of July 22. Walz and Daughtry's letter also quelled some growing concerns on Capitol Hill about the early voting process. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., also urged the DNC to delay the voting process, sources familiar with the matter told NBC News and CNBC.

The third day of the Republican National Convention is focusing on foreign policy and military issues, and is featuring the first speech by Sen.

Trump, who survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania over the weekend, has long expected to face President Joe Biden in November's election. Biden has adamantly refused to drop out of the contest since his disastrous debate against Trump in late June. As the convention was getting underway in Milwaukee Wednesday, the White House announced that Biden tested positive for Covid. CNBC's TV and digital reporters are covering the convention live from Milwaukee, Washington, and New York City.
