Trump "Thunderously" Booed at NBA Finals Game 3 in Madison Square Garden — Claims It Was "Mostly Cheers"
Trump became the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game — and was thunderously booed when shown on the Madison Square Garden jumbotron during the national anthem. White House pool reporters called it "indisputably" loud booing. Trump told reporters afterward: "It was, I think, mostly cheers. It was loud, and it was very enthusiastic." His presence caused 4+ hour security lines, forced the cancellation of fan watch parties outside MSG, and required a 10-foot fence, counter-drone technology, and a bulletproof glass suite. Fans made rude gestures at his motorcade. Ticket prices exceeded $5,000. The Knicks lost 115-111, snapping a 13-game playoff win streak. Schumer: "Trump should LEAVE US ALONE! He's not wanted here." Trump sat with James Dolan, Jared Kushner, Boris Epshteyn, and four Cabinet secretaries. Howard Lutnick — who testified about Epstein ten days earlier — sat courtside.
Trump Drops the $1.776B Slush Fund After GOP Revolt — But Keeps His Permanent Tax Immunity
Acting AG Todd Blanche testified to Congress that the DOJ is "not moving forward with the fund, period" — officially killing the $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund after weeks of bipartisan backlash, three lawsuits, and a judicial freeze. But he confirmed that "nothing has changed" regarding the IRS immunity addendum that "FOREVER BARS" audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. He refused to put the fund's cancellation in writing. Rep. DeLauro: "You just gave the President and his family a tax immunity to the tune of about $100 million." Democrats plan to force reconciliation votes to kill the immunity. The judge overseeing the original IRS lawsuit ordered Trump's attorneys to respond to "grievous allegations" that the settlement was fraud.
