Good Morning DC,
During an interview set to air tonight in the UK, former President Donald Trump hinted that he might take action against Prince Harry if it’s found he lied on his US immigration form regarding drug abuse.
“We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action,” Trump told Farage.
Let’s get you caught up with the news of the day.
President Biden spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Monday morning. They discussed ongoing hostage negotiations in Qatar and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. President Biden emphasized the urgent need to increase lifesaving aid to Gaza, particularly in the north, and expressed “deep concerns” about the potential for Israel to conduct a major ground operation in Rafah, where over a million displaced civilians are seeking shelter after fleeing fighting in the north.
Today, President will travel to Las Vegas, Nevada where he will talk about his policy agenda to bring down the cost of housing.
“Donald Trump has shown us who he is, time and time again,” Biden stated in the announcement of the new campaign ad.
“The Trump campaign can try to spin all they want, but the context is clear: their candidate has spent every moment since his first campaign encouraging and excusing political violence. Repeatedly. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature of Donald Trump’s extremism,” stated a Biden campaign Spokesperson Sarafina Chitika.
In his effort to reach out to Latino voters, President Biden recorded two radio interviews: “El Genio Lucas” with Alex Lucas on Nueva Network and “El Bueno, La Mala y El Feo” with Raul Molinar on Univision Radio. Both are scheduled to air today.
In a statement regarding the $464 million bond, former President Trump remarked that obtaining such a substantial bond is “practically impossible for any company,” including his own.

“The Bonding Companies have never heard of such a bond, of this size, before, nor do they have the ability to post such a bond, even if they wanted to.”
