White House fails to clear up Trump's Unabomber story
The White House has failed to provide more details on Donald Trump 's claim that his uncle taught the domestic terrorist and mathematician known as the Unabomber. The president had insisted that Dr John Trump, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, had once taught a 'seriously good' student named Theodore 'Ted' Kaczynski, and recalled having a conversation with his uncle about him. When told it would have been impossible for Dr Trump to have ever discussed the Unabomber with the now-president, Ms Leavitt told White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg on Thursday (17 July): "I'm a little bit surprised you would ask such a question. "The president's uncle did in fact teach at MIT. He was a very intelligent professor. The president's very proud of his family."

Trump shuts down Independent reporter pressing Starmer on annexing Canada
Donald Trump cut off The Independent 's White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg as he pressed Sir Keir Starmer about the US president's desire to make Canada the 51st state. Speaking at the leaders' joint press conference on Thursday, 27 February, the UK prime minister was asked about what he thinks of the Republican's move to annex the country. The White House later accused Mr Feinberg of 'trying to goad the leaders into division' in a statement on X stating that Mr Trump was not cutting off Mr Starmer speaking.
