Donald Trump called Scott Morrison to ask for help in an investigation aimed at discrediting the Mueller inquiry, and Morrison agreed to assist. The call, first reported by the New York Times but confirmed by the Australian government, happened shortly before the Australian prime minister flew to the US to visit Trump last week. White House sources also confirmed the report, the Australian ABC reported. According to two officials with knowledge of the call, Trump asked Morrison to help the US attorney general, William Barr, find evidence for a review into the Mueller inquiry.

By Carla Baranauckas Rudy Giuliani made the media rounds over the weekend for his “No Collusion Press Tour,” but he hit a new chord when he said: ”I don’t even know if that’s a crime, colluding about Russians. You start analyzing the crime, the hacking is the crime. Well, the president didn’t hack!” After showing a video clip of Giuliani saying that, “Late Night” host Seth Meyers declared, “Nothing makes me happier than imagining Donald Trump personally doing the hack.” According to The Washington Post, the CIA believes Russia used hackers to intervene in the 2016 election and help Trump win the presidency.

By Lee Moran Kim Kardashian has revealed how she was naked when President Donald Trump called her on the telephone.

ENTERTAINMENT 07/31/2018 05:42 am ET "Sorry, family farmers. You picked the wrong guy to protect you." By Lee Moran In a new portrait of the president, Jim Carrey has depicted Donald Trump as an ineffective scarecrow who’s incapable of protecting U.S. farmers’ crops. The latest in the actor-comedian-artist’s politically charged art series (as extensively documented by HuffPost here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here) takes aim at Trump’s offer of billions of dollars in aid to U.S. farmers who have been negatively affected by his trade wars.
