Trump admin live updates: US military is preparing for possible activation of National Guard in DC
Trump will conduct a press conference about crime in DC on Monday morning. 5:31 President Trump has announced a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin scheduled for Friday, Aug. 15 in Alaska. The Trump administration is also once again escalating its clash with Harvard University, with Commerce Secretary Lutnick sending a letter Friday to Harvard President Alan Garber that accuses Harvard of violating its legal and contractual obligations related to federally funded research programs and patents. Lutnick said the Commerce Department is launching an "immediate comprehensive review" of Harvard's federally funded research programs.

"There was no meeting at my house last night. There just wasn't," Vance told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo in an interview that aired on 'Sunday Morning Futures.' "We did meet at the White House yesterday, but not at the time that they said that they -- that we were going to meet and not about the subject that we -- they said that we were going to meet about," Vance said in the interview that was taped on Friday. "We actually didn't talk about the Epstein issue at all. That was never meant to be the subject of the meeting," he continued. Vance said the reports came from someone leaking a calendar entry in which they assumed that it was about Epstein. Vance reiterated that Trump has called for full transparency, and efforts are underway to compile documents. "On the Epstein issue, what the president has said very clearly, because we have had other meetings about that, is that he wants us to be fully transparent and he wants the credible information out there. So, we're working to compile the thousands and thousands of documents that are out there for full transparency," Vance said. Vance said he supported the decision by Rep. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton in its investigation of the Epstein files. -ABC News' Kelsey Walsh Trump announced on his social media platform that he'll hold a news conference at 10 a.m. Monday to discuss crime in Washington, D.C. The president said that he has given D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser an opportunity to reduce crime rates but crime has gotten worse. "The Mayor of D.C., Muriel Bowser, is a good person who has tried, but she has been given many chances, and the Crime Numbers get worse, and the City only gets dirtier and less attractive. The American Public is not going to put up with it any longer," Trump said in his post. Contrary to the president's claim, Washington's Metropolitan Police Department's preliminary year-to-date crime rate comparison shows that crime in D.C. has decreased by 7% since last year, with violent crime down 26% and property crime reduced by 5%. 'I will take care of our cherished Capital, and we will make it, truly, GREAT AGAIN! Before the tents, squalor, filth, and Crime, it was the most beautiful Capital in the World. It will soon be that again,' Trump wrote. -ABC News' Kelsey Walsh Aug 10, 2025, 1:35 PM EDT Vance brushes off talk of 2028 ticket After Trump publicly suggested a Vance-Rubio ticket for 2028, the vice president shot down continued dialogue during an interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo, saying that Rubio and he are not focused on politics right now. "I saw Marco about a month ago. We just laughed at the whole thing, because neither one of us are focused on politics. We're focused on actually doing a good job for the American people," Vance said in the interview that aired on 'Sunday Morning Futures.' "If we do a good job, number one, that's the reward, in and of itself, that I will have made a big difference in the lives of our country for the last six months, the next 3.5 years. But if we do a good job, the politics will take care of itself," he continued. Despite Vance trying to navigate away from the topic, he did not dismiss the possibility of running for president in 2028 when asked. "I'm not going to break that news today, Maria," he said. "What I'm going to do is focus for the next year and a half on doing a really good job for the American people, winning the midterm elections in 2026. Then we can talk about politics after that." -ABC News' Kelsey Walsh Trump tells homeless to move out of DC As Trump traveled to his golf club outside Washington on Sunday morning, it appears someone in his entourage took photographs that the president shared on his social media platform of images of homeless encampments along his route. In a new post, the president noted that he will hold a news conference on Monday at the White House where he will discuss his efforts to ensure safety in Washington, D.C. "The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital," Trump said on social media. "The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong." His post also comes as he ordered an increase in law enforcement over the past weekend as part of his initiative and executive order to "Make the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful." Trump also stated that he believes this will be less challenging than managing security at the border. "Be prepared! There will be no 'MR. NICE GUY.' We want our Capital BACK," Trump continued. -ABC News' Kelsey Walsh

Miranda Devine: Trump turns tables on Democrats after years of lawfare — now it's time to hold them accountable
'No one is above the law' was the favorite refrain of Democrats as they pursued Donald Trump uphill and down dale in an effort to destroy his first presidency and ensure he could never serve again. They threw everything at him, manufacturing intelligence to frame him as a Russian stooge, weaponizing the FBI and DOJ against him, impeaching him, siccing the most unscrupulous prosecutors on him, contriving spurious civil cases against him and his family, trying to jail him and bankrupt him, all the while lying and assassinating his character. If that didn't bring him down, two assassination attempts would have finished off a lesser mortal. Advertisement But, sadly for Trump's Democrat/Deep State persecutors, they failed spectacularly. They decimated their own party and destroyed the reputations of the intelligence agencies and the mainstream media allies who aided and abetted their crooked schemes. As the saying goes: If you come at the king, you best not miss. Now accountability is afoot. 'Illegitimate president' Advertisement On Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed pit bull lawyer Ed Martin as a special attorney to lead investigations of New York AG Letitia James and California Sen. Adam Schiff for potential charges including mortgage fraud, bank fraud and wire fraud, which carry jail terms of up to 30 years. Grand juries in Virginia and Maryland are currently weighing criminal indictments against the two Trump-deranged Democrats over allegations they falsified property records to secure favorable loan terms. The Albany US attorney has also reportedly issued subpoenas in a separate civil rights investigation into James, including into whether her office violated Trump's rights in a lawsuit she brought against him. Advertisement James has sued Trump, his children and his businesses dozens of times. She ran for office vowing to 'take on' the man she called an 'illegitimate president.' For his part, Schiff abused his position as House Intelligence Committee chairman to manipulate and distort intelligence to damage Trump. He created false narratives about Trump's connections to Russia and Ukraine, which led to his first impeachment. Schiff has been the most enthusiastic Democrat to use the phrase 'No one is above the law.' Now he's about to find out the hard way. Advertisement Meanwhile, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has spent months extracting documents from hidden reaches of the intelligence agencies and declassifying them, against the wishes of embedded Deep Staters at the CIA and FBI whose ruse is to redact documents to the point of indecipherability. Too bad. Gabbard went to the White House to overrule these resistance guerillas and successfully expose the truth about Russiagate and Barack Obama's role as 'ringleader,' to use Trump's word. We now know that on Dec. 9, 2016, Obama directed his national security officials, DNI James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey and others to create an intelligence assessment with the foregone conclusion they all knew to be false: that Russia had influenced the 2016 election to help Trump win. Every week, Post columnist Miranda Devine sits down for exclusive and candid conversations with the most influential disruptors in Washington. Subscribe here! 'Documentation that came from the Obama White House; documentation that came from Obama's ODNI; documentation from the CIA, all of these pieces fit quite seamlessly together creating a very clear timeline that shifted from before the election when the intelligence community almost uniformly said essentially that Russia is trying to sow discord in the US election, but has no preference for one candidate over another,' Gabbard told me last week on Pod Force One. 'And then all of a sudden, Trump wins the election, surprising many people, both here and abroad . . . [and the Obama officials falsely claim] that Russia aspired to help Trump get elected, or that Russia hacked the election in favor of Donald Trump, really trying to discredit President Trump's win and give a big middle finger to the American people who had just voted him into office,' she said. 'President Obama, unhappy with the outcome of the election and making the appearance of a peaceful transition of power and claiming to be the champion of democracy, and yet launch[ed] what we now know . . . was a covert mission to subvert the will of the American people, create this lie that would challenge the legitimacy of President Trump's election . . . resulting in what was truly a yearslong coup,' she said. Advertisement Gabbard believes that the only way to stop such a travesty happening again is to punish the wrongdoers. 'Accountability has to take place,' she said. 'We've referred all the documents we have found and will continue to refer them to the Department of Justice for a criminal referral. 'AG Pam Bondi has created a strike force team . . . focused singularly on [bringing] accountability to those who are responsible for this,' she added. 'We also have to recognize that [Brennan and Clapper] have their own disciples . . . and many of those people still exist within the intelligence community now. So, in these documents that we're finding, we are uncovering names of people who were involved with this Russia hoax, this manufactured intelligence document, [who] would otherwise never be known publicly.' Accountability equals deterrence. It's why we have jails. Advertisement Without punishment, wrongdoers are emboldened. They regard mercy as weakness to be exploited. That's the lesson we take from the behavior of Trump's antagonists over the last nine years. 'Lock her up!' Despite efforts to paint Trump as a vengeful madman hellbent on retribution, the truth is clear from his first term: His tendency is to let bygones be bygones. He won in 2016. He didn't feel the need to drag his vanquished opponent through the mud even though at his rallies his supporters would regularly chant: 'Lock her up!' Advertisement 'We had Hillary Clinton down for whatever we wanted to do with her, but I felt it was inappropriate,' Trump told me in Scotland two weeks ago. 'She was the wife of a president. She was a secretary of state, and we could have done a very big number [on her. But] the concept of putting her in jail, indicting her, all the things that you have to do, it's tough stuff. And I said, 'We don't want to do that.' ' Get Miranda's latest take Sign up for Devine Online, the newsletter from Miranda Devine Thanks for signing up!

Check out more newsletters He showed Hillary mercy because he wanted the country to 'heal' from the discord of the Obama years. 'And yet they did it to me,' he said, confessing to feeling 'a little bit' angry after his mercy was rewarded by being dragged through the mud for years. Advertisement 'So I feel differently. I mean, I'm a human being. I have my feelings too,' he said. 'Obama, what he did was terrible. What Brennan did and Clapper and Comey and all these lightweights . . . did was so unnecessary. And they made it really hard. 'We had a great first term,' Trump said. 'But it certainly made it . . . less comfortable.' Trump and his current administration understand the need for heads on pikes to act as a deterrent and ultimately to restore public trust in our national security institutions. Now the hunters are the hunted. Every tool is being used to find wrongdoers and bring them to account in a lawful, systematic, administration-wide effort. At least some plotters are sure to see inside a jail cell. None will sleep easy.
