Obviously the current White House is rather more than a four bedroom ranch home. Its actual title is the Executive Mansion. And that’s a fair description, a mansion. This is a palace, a very visible statement of monarchical intent. No Kings, no palaces.

In 2023, Clark was criminally charged alongside Bove’s former client, Donald Trump, for their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Today, DC Bar regulators recommended that Clark be disbarred.

Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer Todd Blanche will now determine whether he thinks evidence against certain individuals is “credible” or not, and DOJ will not release those parts of the Epstein files. What’s released is whatever Trump’s criminal lawyer decides is credible.
