Kushner knew Trump felt better after COVID-19 when he asked for McDonald's
Former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner in his new memoir offers few details about former President Trump’s battle with COVID-19 in 2020, but he did pinpoint a moment when he knew his father-in-law was on the mend. “I knew he was feeling better when he requested one of his favorite meals: a McDonald’s Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish, fries and a vanilla shake,” Kushner wrote in “Breaking History,” due out Tuesday. In the book, an advanced copy of which was obtained by The Hill, Kushner does not offer many insights into how serious Trump’s condition was when he contracted t

The FBI raid on the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida has complicated the political picture — and not only for former President Trump. Potential rivals to Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination have had their own responses carefully scrutinized — none more so than Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). DeSantis is widely seen as the most formidable challenger to Trump if the 45th president enters the race.

Read MoreFive noteworthy nuggets from Jared Kushner’s new book
Jared Kushner’s “Breaking History” is the latest memoir from a Trump administration official, this one from the former president’s son-in-law who also served as senior adviser in the White House and on his 2016 and 2020 campaigns. But while Kushner touches on his time getting to know Trump before he ran for president and covers his full campaign and four years in the White House, the book offers scant critical assessments of his father-in-law. Instead, Kushner focuses largely on his own efforts to broker peace agreements in the Middle East, his attempts to aid the pandem

A Louisiana judge issued a permanent injunction against the Biden administration’s moratorium on new oil and gas leasing on federal lands Thursday night, a day after another court tossed an earlier injunction against it. In the Thursday ruling, Judge Terry Doughty of the Western District of Louisiana, a Trump appointee, permanently blocked the January 2021 order in 13 states that sued over the order last March. The states in question are Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia. It does not apply to any sta
