Police Seize Bright Orange Trump-Shaped Ecstasy Pills

POLICE SEIZE BRIGHT ORANGE TRUMP-SHAPED ECSTASY PILLS

Donald Trump’s name has been used to sell goods ranging from ties to luxury golf resorts.

But it seems drug dealers are now seeking to exploit the president’s fame, with a batch of bright orange ecstasy pills shaped into the image of the president seized by Idaho police.

In a press release, Indiana State Police described seizing a batch of “Trump-shaped ecstasy pills" with the words “great again” on the back, a seeming reference to Trump’s 'Make America Great Again' slogan.

Migrant daughter doesn't want to let go after finally being reunited with her mother after 60 days

The family had entered the United States fleeing threats from violent gangsters demanding money, she told the Associated Press. The mother came first with their infant son and her husband came two weeks later with their daughter. All were taken into custody by U.S. Border Patrol as part of President Donald Trump’s no-tolerance policy.

“I never thought it would be like this,” said Martin, who worked as a nurse in Guatemala. “I see now that it’s not true that people count here, that the laws protect families. It’s a lie.”

A federal judge ordered the U.S. government to reunite more than 2,000 children that were separated from their parents and families. They have 30 days to do so, or 14 days in the case of those children younger than 5-years-old.

Today, this family was finally reunited after 60 days. The little girl hesitated to let go of her mother.

Top GOP Fundraiser - Elliott Broidy, to Stop Hush Payments to Playboy centerfold

A top Republican fundraiser will stop making payments to a former mistress who signed a hush-money agreement that was negotiated last year by Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s longtime lawyer.

Elliott Broidy, a Los Angeles venture capitalist and former Republican National Committee official, agreed to pay former Playboy centerfold Shera Bechard $1.6 million — in eight installments, beginning late last year — to keep quiet about her affair with the married donor, The Wall Street Journal reported in April.

Now Broidy, who worked on the RNC with Cohen, will withhold the third installment of $200,000 that was due Sunday, in response to an alleged breach of the nondisclosure agreement, according to Chris Clark, a lawyer for Broidy.

Clark said Bechard’s lawyer at the time of the agreement, Keith Davidson, improperly discussed the hush-money agreement with another lawyer, Michael Avenatti, who has replaced Davidson in representing Stephanie Clifford, a former adult-film star. Clifford, known professionally as Stormy Daniels, got a $130,000 payment arranged by Cohen to keep quiet about what she said was a 2006 sexual encounter with Trump.

You took an oath to the Constitution at your relatively small inauguration, remember?Ted Lieu added,
