The Trump administration, by way of the U.S. Department of Justice, has made a substantial mistake, a court filing on Friday attests. Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet K. Dhillon and several prosecutors in the division filed a motion to withdraw a document filed in error in New Hampshire federal court. The two-page motion to withdraw "respectfully" asks the court in a September 2025 Granite State election fraud case to "withdraw its filing" which is a notice of supplementary authority filed early Friday. "The Notice was filed in error and was not intended for filing in this matter," the motion reads. "The United States respectfully requests that the Court withdraw [the erroneous filing] from the docket."

President Trump is discussing plans to install a helipad at the White House to prevent powerful new Marine One helicopters from damaging the South Lawn, according to people familiar with the plans. The helipad would be the latest renovation to the historic White House grounds since Trump began his second term.

Kyle Rittenhouse, the conservative cause clbre acquitted in the 2020 Kenosha shootings, is suddenly persona non grata in parts of the MAGA movement after publicly throwing his weight behind embattled U.S. Rep.

Speaking May 16 at a "day at the range" event in Burlington, Kentucky, Rittenhouse called Massie "the greatest congressman, I believe, in a very long time," brushing aside attacks on the Kentucky Republican as "lies." He praised Massie for voting conservative "92% of the time," adding that "the 8% he isn't, he's voting to expose pedophiles" " a nod to the Epstein Files Transparency Act Massie championed and that Trump hated.
