Author claims Melania Trump is trying a 'preposterous' new way to silence him

An author who has written four books about President Donald Trump claimed on Thursday that first lady Melania Trump has concocted a "preposterous" new way to try and silence him. Michael Wolff, co-host of the "Inside Trump's Head" podcast with Joanna Coles of The Daily Beast, said during a new episode that Melania Trump's legal team has moved to sanction the lawyers representing Wolff for bringing a frivolous lawsuit against her. A federal judge threw out Wolff's anti-SLAPP lawsuit against Melania Trump in May, which he filed after she threatened to bring a $1 billion lawsuit against Wolff for his claims about the Trump family's ties to disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. “Essentially, they are moving to sanction my lawyers for doing nothing more than bringing the lawsuit against Melania Trump,” Wolff said on the podcast. “So this is preposterous on its face.”Wolff also claimed that he found out about the move from Boris Epshteyn, a lawyer close to the Trumps, whom Donald Trump has described as someone who will "say anything" to make him happy. He claimed that hearing about the move from Epshteyn revealed that the strategy behind the lawsuit “was being coordinated at the highest levels of Trump law.”

Economist flags troubling signs in Trump's economy: 'Shouldn't be so excited'

A prominent economist on Thursday warned that President Donald Trump's economy has raised some concerns.Justin Wolfers, an economics and public policy professor at the University of Michigan, responded to a new report from the Department of Labor, which indicated the United States has added fewer jobs in June — just 57,000 jobs that month."Each month we just learn a little bit more about the economy," Wolfers said. "We've seen a few really, really good months, and it was a 'yabba dabba doo' moment. I was very excited. And what we see here is maybe we shouldn't be so excited. This is an economy that is not as hot as we might have thought a month ago. It's also not an economy that's sinking by any means — it's treading water; it's doing OK. Let's cross our fingers and try not to do anything wrong, and hopefully we'll keep it."For instance, Wolfers noted that the latest data showed there has been a decline in leisure and hospitality hiring at a time when several U.S. cities are hosting the World Cup, which he described as a "double whammy" for the economy. He also argued that every industry outside of healthcare showed signs of shrinking.

A simple way to cure America’s self-inflicted infrastructure paralysis

Today, building the infrastructure necessary to maintain America’s prosperity often requires navigating a maze of permits, lawsuits, and regulatory delays. The power to block has systematically triumphed over the freedom to build. Yet our infrastructure paralysis is self-inflicted. Whether it is a natural gas pipeline, a transmission line, or mines for the building blocks of […]
