The Italian prime minister is the latest among leaders who have visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago since his November election win. She is also close to billionare Elon Musk, who will play a key role in Trump's second term. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni met US President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, weeks before his inauguration to the Oval Office. Meloni made the trip to Florida days before a set meeting with outgoing US President Joe Biden during a visit to Rome. She is the latest...

Former President Donald Trump says the jury selection in his upcoming New York criminal trial is "largely luck." "It depends who you get. It’s very unfair that I’m having a trial there," he told reporters during a press conference with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. Jury selection begins Monday on the case, the first of four criminal indictments slated to go to trial. Trump is accused of doctoring his company’s records to hide the real reason for payments to Michael Cohen, his former lawyer and fixer who helped the candidate...

Former President Donald Trump and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) appeared together for a joint press conference in Palm Beach, Florida, to promote an election integrity bill. During a press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, Trump called upon President Joe Biden to “close the border immediately,” pointing out that the United States was seeing a rise in “migrant crime” before revealing that they wanted to talk about “election interference” and “election integrity.” “We probably have fifteen million people, and they come from places you don’t want to know...

But Johnson used the event to attack Democrats, falsely accusing them of a conspiracy to increase the number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. for the direct and distinct purpose of pushing them to vote illegally in U.S. elections. The Speaker offered no...

Former President Donald Trump's "election security" press conference at Mar-a-Lago with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was a big blow to one person in particular, suggested CNN's Kaitlan Collins: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). Greene has been to move to vacate the chair, toppling Johnson from power the exact same way Kevin McCarthy was — and yet, noted Collins, here is by Johnson's side, effectively giving him his own vote of confidence and potentially taking the wind out of that effort. "Obviously, he said a lot of a harsh things,...

Standing alongside House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Friday, Donald Trump offered his most vocal support for the leader of the House as the threat of a motion to vacate hangs over his head from one of the former president’s staunchest supporters—Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). “We’re getting along very well with the speaker, and I get along with Marjorie,” Trump said when asked about the motion to vacate during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. “It’s not a very easy situation for any speaker. … I’m sure...
