A reporter asked the White House press secretary : "On Twitter, Elon Musk this week fired the former FBI general counsel Jim Baker, who was serving as a top Twitter lawyer."

I can say that we were not involved, and as I've said several times this week already, we've talked and had this conversation many times in this briefing room.

President Trump returns to the electoral battlefield he plans to follow up with several more rallies in the next few months to keep his unique political base engaged in the 2022 midterms and give him the option of seeking the presidency again in 2024. "If the president feels like he's in a good position, I think there's a good chance that he does it," Trump adviser Jason Miller said in a telephone interview. "For the more immediate impact, there's the issue of turning out Trump voters for the midterm elections." And, Jason Miller added, "President Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party." The set of advisers around Trump now is a familiar mix of his top 2020 campaign aides and others who have moved in and out of his orbit over ti...
