Trump pushes to evict the press from the White House
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In late August, during one of Karoline Leavitt’s final meetings with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, he pitched her on an idea in front of several senior aides.

It would be, he told her, her “last legacy.” But the proposal never moved forward while she was there.

There is a moment in Regime Change when Donald Trump is talking to French President Emmanuel Macron about the Arc de Triomphe, the iconic monument that Napoleon Bonaparte commissioned in 1806 to commemorate his military victories. The US president was considering building his own version in Washington – bigger, gilded, perhaps featuring a statue of Trump himself – and wanted to know what Macron thought of the Paris landmark.

The extraordinary move to punish the Royal Canadian Mounted Police appears to have been short-lived, and it was specific to the FBI.
