White House

Donald Trump received a special treat in the White House Friday ... a live solo from Andrea Bocelli!

Check out the clip -- the Italian singer fills the Oval Office with his famous tenor vocals as the prez stands behind the Resolute Desk in awe.

Another clip shared by Trump’s special assistant, Margo Martin, shows the pair meeting in the Oval Office as they listen to Andrea's music -- pretty iconic!

Portland is protesting in the most Portland way possible ... naked!

Oregon's biggest city showed a lot of balls Sunday, taking to the streets in next-to-nothing ... to express their distaste for ongoing federal immigration raids by ICE, and President Donald Trump's threats to send National Guard troops to the city.

Here's the skinny ... The protest was an "emergency" edition of the World Naked Bike Ride -- an event usually taking place in summer -- and involved protesters on bikes, making their way to the city's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building yesterday.

President Trump can't seem to shake the curse of Jeffrey Epstein ... because U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi got into a fiery exchange over the "Epstein Files" with a senator during a congressional hearing.

Bondi faced off Tuesday with the Senate Judiciary Committee and, when it came time for Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) to ask questions of the AG, things got really heated really fast!

Check out video ... which shows perhaps the most heated back-and-forth during their 11-minute-plus confrontation. Whitehouse earlier kicked off the questioning by asking Bondi how many "suspicious activity reports" related to Trump-Epstein her team has investigated.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is already going straight to the top for a get out of jail free card ... because President Trump says Diddy has asked for a presidential pardon.

Trump was talking to reporters Monday at the White House when he revealed he'd gotten a special request for Diddy.

POTUS said, "I call him Puff Daddy; he has asked me for a pardon."

The most anticipated card in UFC history -- the massive event at the White House -- officially has a date ... June 14, 2026, President Trump's 80th birthday!

How's that for a bday bash?!

POTUS made the announcement on Sunday while speaking at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia, saying ... "On June 14th next year, we're going to have a big UFC fight at the White House, right at the White House grounds."

Donald Trump's White House has a bone to pick with Ariana Grande ... after she reposted a message on IG criticizing his administration.

ICYMI ... on Sunday, Ariana reshared a post asking Trump supporters if their lives have actually improved since he took office -- and whether that's worth the suffering of immigrants, transgender people, and attacks on free speech.

Kush Desai, a spokesperson for the White House, tells TMZ ... "Save your tears, Ariana, because President Trump’s actions ended Joe Biden’s inflation crisis and are bringing in trillions in new investments."

"Love on the Spectrum" star Dani Bowman is ripping President Trump for claiming Tylenol use among pregnant mothers is linked to autism ... and she's got a couple middle fingers she's extending his way.

We got the Netflix reality star at LAX and our photog asked her about Trump's recent autism announcement.

Dani says Trump isn't qualified to weigh in on the potential causes of autism ... and as far as she's concerned, autism is genetic.

1:53 PM PT -- President Trump just commented on the conviction of Routh and he thanked Attorney Pam Bondi and her staff for meting out swift justice in the case.

Ryan Routh has been found guilty on all charges in relation to his foiled attempt at assassinating President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course last year.

A Florida jury found him guilty Tuesday on five federal criminal counts -- including attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer and several firearms offenses.

And in a stunning turn of events, he tried stabbing himself in the neck with a pen directly after the verdict was read, Fox News reports.

Donald Trump is PO'd at liberals ... slamming them for seemingly paying for a statue of him holding hands with Jeffrey Epstein to go up right outside the White House!

Check out the new statues erected in the National Mall in Washington, D.C. -- they show Trump and Epstein giddily frolicking together and holding hands ... with a plaque announcing the new figures are in honor of Friendship Month, which falls in September, apparently.

The plaque additionally reads ... "We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his 'closest friend,' Jeffrey Epstein."

President Trump went to the United Nations General Assembly and all he got was a "bad escalator and a bad teleprompter."

Trump's Tuesday visit to the U.N. General Assembly in New York City went off with a couple hitches ... starting from the moment he walked through the door.

POTUS and FLOTUS were heading up the escalator when it stopped moving ... forcing Trump and Melania to get some exercise. Fortunately for them, Trump says they're both in good shape.

Kamala Harris is doubling down on her decision not to pick Pete Buttigieg as her running mate in the 2024 presidential election due to concerns over his sexuality.

The former vice president appeared on "The Rachel Maddow Show" Tuesday, where Rachel -- a gay woman -- pressed her over her recent confession that she nixed the former United States secretary of transportation as her VP pick at least partly due to him being gay.

Kamala -- who bluntly wrote in her new book "107 Days" that Pete was her No. 1 choice for her running partner, but he was too much of a risk -- told Rachel she didn't pass over him because of his sexuality explicitly, but because that, combined with her being a black woman, was too big a gamble.

Barack Obama is coming out swinging in defense of the First Amendment in the wake of Jimmy Kimmel's TV show suspension ... accusing the Trump administration of trying to silence its critics.

After it was revealed Wednesday night Kimmel's show was suddenly and "indefinitely" suspended by ABC following the host's remarks about the late Charlie Kirk and MAGA, the former President took to X to call out the current administration.

Check it out ... he essentially calls Donald Trump a hypocrite, highlighting how 47 has complained about "cancel culture" for years ... only to jump on the cancel bandwagon when JK said something unfavorable about one of his own.

President Trump has made it clear he wants Tyler Robinson executed for allegedly assassinating Charlie Kirk ... and if Trump gets his way, Kirk's alleged killer faces a torturous fate.

The case will play out in Utah, where capital punishment is still a thing ... and where folks on death row are executed one of two ways ... firing squad or lethal injection.

Ronnie Lee Gardner was the last death row inmate in Utah killed by firing squad ... in June 2010 at Utah State Prison for a 1985 murder ... and a journalist who was there to watch the execution go down is recalling what it was like.

Vice President J.D. Vance started railing against far left "lunatics" towards the end of his tribute to Charlie Kirk ... getting emotional as he hosted his late friend's super popular radio show days after Kirk was assassinated.

Vance took the reins of "The Charlie Kirk Show" broadcast and podcast Monday ... sitting down in front of the microphone from the White House and going on an epic rant about what his boss, President Trump, likes to call the "radical left."

The veep said something's gone really wrong with the far left and claimed it was a "statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left."

11:20 AM PT -- Just hours after Virginia's brother spoke out and called for Congress to release the files, the House of Representatives approved a resolution formally authorizing the Oversight Committee's ongoing investigation.

The House also authorized the release of "all unclassified committee records received from the Attorney General, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Epstein estate, and any other custodians related to the investigation described in this resolution, as well as any written declarations, or other evidence that relates to the investigation described in this resolution."

Virginia Giuffre's brother is drawing a clear line in the sand as members of Congress try to force a vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files ... he says anyone who opposes the effort is on the side of rich and powerful abusers.

Sky Roberts made an emotional plea to lawmakers Wednesday during a press conference on Capitol Hill, where Epstein survivors called on Congress to make the files public.

Sky's sister Virginia is the most famous victim of Epstein's sex-trafficking ring ... and she died in April at 41 in what police in Australia said was suicide, though her family doubts she took her own life.

President Trump says the U.S. military conducted a missile strike against alleged Tren de Aragua narco-terrorists ... and the attack is on video!

The White House just released wild footage from the mission ... and you see a speed boat suddenly burst into flames.

Trump said the strike occurred while the alleged Venezuelan gang members were at sea in International waters.
