[1/2] May 25, 2023; Washington, DC, USA; Patrick Reed hits his tee shot on the ninth hole during the Pro-Am tournament as part of the LIV Golf Washington D.C. 2023 event at Trump National Golf Club outside Washington DC. The PGA Tour will have a permanent controlling interest in the subsidiary's board of directors, regardless of the Saudi investment, the framework says. The framework agreement also ends litigation between the two sides. The framework is likely to be a focus of a U.S. Senate panel on July 11 where Monahan, Al-Rumayyan and LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman have been invited to testify. He also wanted to know how any newly formed entity will be structured and operated, including how the PGA Tour intends to preserve its tax-exempt status.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump delivers remarks during an event following his arraignment on classified document charges, at Trump National Golf Club, in Bedminster, New Jersey, U.S., June 13, 2023. A federal judge issued a protective order Monday barring former President Donald Trump from disclosing — or keeping — evidence set to be turned over to him by the government in the classified documents case on social media. The ruling largely tracks with a request for a protective order the government filed in the case on Friday. The government said in that filing that Trump and Nauta's lawyers had "no objections to this motion or the protective order." Prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney's office said those restrictions were necessary because the "risk" that Trump would use the evidence "inappropriately" was "substantial."

REUTERS/Amr Alfiky/File PhotoWASHINGTON, June 18 (Reuters) - Even when he was president, Donald Trump lacked the legal authority to declassify a U.S. nuclear weapons-related document that he is charged with illegally possessing, security experts said, contrary to the former U.S. president’s claim. The special status of nuclear-related information further erodes what many legal experts say is a weak defense centered around declassification. “The president is the executive branch and so he can declassify anything that is nuclear information,” he said. And it takes forever,” said Thomas Blanton, director of the National Security Archive.

Westchester's district attorney shut down its criminal investigation into the Trump Organization this month. The district attorney's office in Westchester — a county north of New York City — opened the investigation two years ago. In April, the district attorney brought another set of charges against Trump himself, alleging he broke the law by disguising hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels. Alan Futerfas, an attorney representing the Trump Organization, declined to comment on the closure of the Westchester County investigation. The lawsuit also claims the Trump Organization misrepresented the property value of its 212-acre Seven Springs estate, also in Westchester County.

Trump hosted the group, as well as aides, for a "candlelight dinner" at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. Trump had just returned to his golf course after being arraigned and pleading not guilty in a Miami federal courthouse. "Voters, donors, and activists are all energized to send President Trump back to the White House," Steven Cheung, a spokesman for the Trump campaign, said in a statement to CNBC. "My message to President Trump this evening at Bedminster 'Damn the Torpedoes, Full speed ahead'!" The support from core Trump supporters contrasts with big money efforts to take him down.

Former US President Donald Trump arrives to deliver remarks at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in Bedminster, New Jersey, on June 13, 2023. That sort of comment is further than where many of Trump's rivals for the GOP presidential nomination will go publicly. Still, even out in the open, there are indications that they believe this federal indictment is far more serious than the last one. But the Trump indictment took over, with participants expressing deep concern about backlash and the party's fracturing beyond repair. On one hand, if Trump's GOP rivals blast him, they risk further alienating his committed GOP supporters.

A recording of former President Donald Trump shows him acknowledging a document he kept after leaving the White House was classified, NBC News reported Thursday, citing a source directly familiar with the matter. Trump's remarks on that tape, recorded in 2021, indicate the document was related to Iran, NBC reported. CNN first reported Wednesday that federal prosecutors had acquired audio of Trump acknowledging he had held onto a classified document about a possible attack on Iran. A spokesman for Trump said of CNN's report, "Leaks from radical partisans behind this political persecution are designed to inflame tensions and continue the media's harassment of President Trump and his supporters." Trump is also embroiled in a Fulton County prosecutor's investigation of potential criminal interference in Georgia's 2020 election.

The Trump Organization was found criminally liable of tax fraud on Tuesday after a six-week trial. A ban could end his 'exorbitant' billing of Secret Service agents who protect him at his resorts. At the Trump Organization headquarters in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, the cars, apartments, and tuition were considered part of Weisselberg's $940,000-a-year income, prosecutors said. Secret Service a tough targetWatchdogs concede that Trump's Secret Service billing is a tough target. Barring the unlikelihood of a cash-free solution — Trump letting the Secret Service "stay at our properties for free," as Eric Trump once promised, or forgoing Secret Service protection voluntarily, as Richard Nixon did — Trump's Secret Service spigot may well remain open, watchdogs acknowledge.

Служба контроля воздушного пространства Беларуси сообщила об угрозе для безопасности, когда рейс из Афин в Вильнюс проходил через белорусскую территорию. Более 60 российских самолетов только за этот год незаконно проникли в воздушное пространство Аляски. Евросоюз в понедельник посоветовал своим авиакомпаниям избегать воздушное пространство Беларуси. В 1983 году 269 человек на борту рейса 007 компании Korean Air Lines Flight погибли из-за того, что самолет зашел в советское воздушное пространство. Если похищения самолетов в стиле Беларуси станут популярными, как когда-то в 1970-х, наиболее пессимистичные прогнозы относительно будущего авиации могут оказаться слишком радостными.

With the term “personal taxes,” however, Mr. Garten appears to be conflating income taxes with other federal taxes Mr. Trump has paid — Social Security, Medicare and taxes for his household employees. Fragments of Mr. Trump’s tax returns have leaked out before. Mr. Agalarov’s father, Aras, a billionaire who boasts of close ties to Mr. Putin, was Mr. Trump’s partner in the event. Mr. Trump’s avoidance of income taxes is one of the most striking discoveries in his tax returns, especially given the vast wash of income itemized elsewhere in those filings. When they got to line 56, the one for income taxes due, the amount was the same each year: $750.
