Donald Trump proposes abolishing the Department of Education
Speaking at the Conservative Party Political Action Conference (CPAC), former President Donald Trump hinted at running for president in 2024.
“We’ll make America proud again, we’ll make America safe again, we’ll make America great again,” the former US president said.
Mr Trump has kept the door open to his presidential bid through crowdfunding and rallies, but has not formally confirmed his ambitions.
Yesterday, Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor and former adviser to Mr. Trump, estimated the former president’s chances of running for office again were virtually zero.
“Do I believe Donald Trump is going to run for president? I don’t. I believe he’s shooting 50-50 right now whether he’s running or not,” Mr Christie told ABC’s This Week.
Meanwhile, at the CPAC meeting, Mr. Trump claimed the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol and the alleged 2020 plan by right-wing militias to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer were “fake” government conspiracies.
“Their sting on Gretchen Whitmer is fake, like those who instigated January 6,” Mr. Trump said. “It’s a fake deal, fake. It’s a fake deal.”
Bill Barr says Jan. 6 subpoena recommends ‘hard look’ at Trump and ‘high-level groups’
Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr said a federal grand jury’s subpoena for the Jan. 6 Capitol riots suggested a “severe scrutiny” of Donald Trump and “those around him.”
In an interview with CBS News on Friday, Mr. Barr also called the issuance of the subpoena a “significant event.”
Last week, a federal grand jury investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riots subpoenaed former White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his top deputy Patrick Philbin to recommend that the Justice Department step up its investigation.

Christie says Trump will run for president in 2024, ‘550 shots’
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie estimates Donald Trump’s chances of running for president again in 2024 are virtually zero.
The former governor and former adviser to Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign never entered the chaotic Trump White House or wider administration, but remained largely supportive of the president and his policies until Jan. 6.
Since then, he has been an outspoken critic of Mr. Trump, accusing him of fueling the deadly unrest that has engulfed Congress.
On Sunday, he joined ABC’s This Week and assumed that Donald Trump is likely to drop out of the 2024 election cycle because he will run again.
“Do I believe Donald Trump will run for president? I don’t. I believe he’s shooting 50-50 right now whether he runs or not,” Mr Christie said.
His remarks came as the former president hinted at plans to bid again at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas over the weekend.

In a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday, Donald Trump claimed that the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol and the so-called right-wing militia’s plan to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 were “fakes.” Government conspiracy.
“Their sting on Gretchen Whitmer is fake, like those who instigated January 6,” Mr. Trump said. “It’s a fake deal, fake. It’s a fake deal.”
“In my opinion, Gretchen Whitmer is less of a danger than anyone sitting in this room right now,” Mr Trump added.

Trump pleads with supporters for donations to help him sue CNN
More than a week after threatening to sue CNN, Donald Trump has asked supporters on his email list to donate to help him fight his lawsuit against the media.
Mr Trump said late last month that he would sue CNN and “other media outlets” to dismiss his voter fraud charges.
In a 282-page letter sent last month by the former U.S. president’s lawyer to CNN President Chris Licht, the lawyer argued that the cable network defamed Trump, saying He is a liar on unsubstantiated voter fraud allegations and “has been issuing a denunciation of President Trump’s legitimacy and competence.”
