NYT: “Vote early. Vote by mail. Or vote in person on Election Day,” Mr. Trump, who has been using the power of his office to try to restrict mail voting, says in the video, which he posted on his social media platform, Truth Social." Hypocrite. He does not believe that anything applies to him.

Jared Kushner Explodes Over CNN Report He Calls Deeply Misleading
Jared Kushner has erupted in a fierce defense of his business dealings and diplomatic role following a CNN investigation he claims misrepresents his actions. The former White House senior advisor has vowed to break a decade-long silence over what he labels a growing cycle of 'lies' about his activities. In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Kushner expressed frustration with the media's portrayal of his engagements, especially in the context of his financial interests linked to Israeli defense companies.
