Anger as report says Trump hijacked US anniversary to serve own agenda – US politics live

According to a congressional report released today, President Trump hijacked the United States' two hundred fiftieth anniversary celebrations to serve his political agenda and personal interests. The report alleges the National Parks Foundation was manipulated to promote divisive policies and financially benefit Trump and his associates. In other developments, the acting attorney general announced federal prosecutors will target non-citizens attempting to give birth in the US for birthright citizenship — a position that draws attention given that Trump's own father was born in New York to a non-citizen mother. Trump's latest financial disclosures revealed earnings of one point two billion dollars from cryptocurrency ventures. He also refused to renew a major North American trade agreement, opting instead for short-term annual reviews. A federal judge blocked a proposed mail-in voting restriction, and New York's mayor plans a separate anniversary celebration centered on recently naturalized citizens.
