“I’m a more honest person than you”: Trump concludes Pierce Morgan’s interview
The infamous former Donald Trump campaign manager, Paul Manafort, has been sued by the Justice Department for $ 3 million in fines for failing to report foreign financial interests for several years.
Mr Manafort was sentenced to prison in 2019 after being convicted of various crimes, including bank fraud, money laundering and illegal lobbying. The allegations stem from Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s interaction with Russian agents and interests.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump has finally published Truth Social in his app after months of silence. “I’m BACK! #COVFEFE,” he wrote next to a photo of the former president on the phone at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.
Despite the hopes of various right-wing Republicans, Mr Trump has insisted he will not return to Twitter, even if Elon Musk restores his account. In fact, he said he did not view social platforms as rivals.

Tennessee Republicans support the burning of books banned by schools
Tennessee is one of the leading states in escalating conservative efforts to clean school libraries and curricula of “inappropriate” content, a definition that can cover everything from nudity to discussions of racial, sexual, and gender equality. And a recent moment in the state legislature embodies what is happening in some circles.
According to Alex Woodward, US Representative Jerry Sexton introduced an amendment to the forthcoming legislation, which, if added to the bill, will require the committee to review the contents of every public school library in the state and give it the power to reject them altogether.
Asked by a fellow Democrat what would be done with these books, Mr Sexton said: “I have no idea, but I would burn them.”
Among the books reviewed is Maus, the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel about the Holocaust, which was shamefully banned by a school board in rural Tennessee, some of whose members admitted they had never read it. The ban made international headlines and sent the book to rise sharply in the bestseller lists.
