Trump live updates: Trump threatens to sue writers who use anonymous sourcing in latest attack on US media
Donald Trump launched yet another attack on the media, threatening to sue those that use anonymous sourcing or off-the-record quotes, from people he claims do not exist. The president suggested he would even create “some NICE NEW LAW!!!”
The Trump administration’s first cabinet meeting will take place at 11 a.m. today and will include Elon Musk, who is not a cabinet member. Over the weekend, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) caused chaos by emailing all federal workers, asking them to justify their jobs or risk losing them.
Many agency heads instructed their staff to ignore the email. Seemingly to make sure everyone was on the same page ahead of the meeting, Trump posted on Truth Social: “ALL CABINET MEMBERS ARE EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH ELON. The Media will see that at the Cabinet Meeting this morning!!!”
The president has also invited controversy by posting a bizarre AI video on Truth Social imagining post-war Gaza as a dystopian luxury beach resort, the clip featuring Musk, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, gold statues and raining cash.
Donald Trump has announced a plan to sell American citizenship to “high-level” wealthy foreigners who create U.S. jobs via $5m “gold cards”, quipping that Russian oligarchs would use the program.
