NY Times - Fred C. Trump III, the nephew of former President Donald J. Trump and the older brother of Mary Trump, will publish a memoir about the Trump family, according to his publisher, Simon & Schuster.The memoir, titled “All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way,” is set to come out on July 30 from Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster — just a few months before the 2024 presidential election, in which former President Trump is running as the presumptive Republican nominee against President Joe Biden.Gallery described the memoir as a “candid and revealing” account of what it was like to grow up in the Trump family, and noted that the book will include “never-before-told stories” that shed “a light into the darker corner of the Trump empire.” The publisher also stated that Mr. Trump was motivated to tell his family’s story because of the upcoming election, and suggested that his book could “shape the decision of a nation.” It was not clear to what extent “All in the Family” would focus on former President Trump, or in what light. Gallery declined to share more information about the book beyond a brief description.

Washington Post -  U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon ruled Monday that she will delete a paragraph in the federal superseding indictment against Donald Trump that alleges he mishandled classified materials after he left the White House and thwarted officials’ attempts to retrieve them.The judge said that prosecutors’ inclusion of paragraph 36 – which alleges Trump showed a classified document in September 2021 about a military operation to someone without a security clearance – is inappropriate because it is not connected to a specific crime that Trump is accused of committing.

MSNBC - Donald Trump hasn’t exactly been subtle about his support for Jan. 6 rioters, with the former president offering, among other things, assurances about future pardons. Indeed, we’ve reached the point in the cycle in which the presumptive Republican nominee refers to Jan. 6 rioters as “hostages” in practically every public appearance, as he focuses on his bond with suspected and convicted insurrectionists.He continues to find new ways, however, to praise those who attacked his own country’s Capitol in his name. The Hill reported overnight:

Former President Trump defended his supporters who rioted at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and called them “warriors” at a Nevada rally on Sunday. “Those J6 warriors — they were warriors — but they were really, more than anything else, they’re victims of what happened,” Trump said at the rally, speaking to a crowd of supporters.

In fact, the presumptive GOP nominee appeared quite animated on the subject. In addition to touting the rioters as “warriors” and “victims,” Trump told his Nevada audience, “All they were doing is protesting a rigged election. That’s what they were doing.” He proceeded to say that police officers encouraged the rioters to enter the Capitol — a bizarre and discredited claim — before insisting, “There has never been people treated more horrifically than J6 hostages.”

 Sam Smith - To save you the trouble I read Stormy Daniels autobiography, Full Disclosure. Here are two quotes of interest about her friend, Donald Trump

• And then it was over. He came on me, not in me. I’d say the sex lasted two to three minutes. It may have been the least impressive sex I’d ever had, but clearly, he didn’t share that opinion. He rolled over and said, “Oh, that was just great.” He let out a big sigh and added, “We’re so good together, honey bunch.” That would be his name for me from then on.
  
  
• When he hung up, he was effusive about Hillary. “I love her,” he said. “She is so smart.” This would be the fourth time he had donated money to her political career. Trump told me he and Hillary were great friends and that they had gone to the weddings of each other’s children. Not quite true. The Clintons attended his wedding to Melania, but maybe he didn’t want to bring her up.
