Nasty email fight between 2 top Trump appointees spills into the open - POLITICO Read!! Why is Paolo Zampolli, Melania’s “modeling agent” appointed by Trump to a state department job? He has no diplomatic experience. Is this to keep him quiet about something else?

Wall Street Journal reported on a 2024 New Year’s Eve celebration where Ken Paxton partied in Dubai with two fugitives and a woman who wasn’t his wife www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
"As fireworks exploded over the Burj Khalifa skyscraper to welcome 2025, Paxton and his girlfriend Tracy Duhon watched from a luxury high-rise balcony full of people, according to a video of the gathering reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, details of which were contained in court filings and confirmed by people familiar with the matter.

Among those at the event with Texas’ top law-enforcement official were two Americans who had been indicted months before on federal healthcare-fraud charges but failed to return to the U.S., Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, according to the court records and people familiar with the matter. Ahmed, a healthcare executive, had donated $190,000 to Paxton, campaign finance records show, including $25,000 days after he was indicted."

The Texas Republican Party is facing internal strife as Ken Paxton, a controversial candidate for the U.S. Senate, battles not only his opponents but also alleged sabotage from within his own ranks. The race has intensified, particularly as Paxton faces a charismatic Democratic challenger, James Talarico. Paxton's candidacy is marred by scandals, and recent damaging leaks regarding his personal life have exacerbated his woes.
