Trump keeps everyone up in the air with hints of what’s coming in new batch of UFO files

US President Donald Trump says the Pentagon is preparing to release some "very interesting" UFO files uncovered by his administration, generating a mix of buzz and scepticism as he hints at new revelations around questions of alien life. Trump started stoking interest in February, directing federal agencies to release their records related to extraterrestrial life and UFOs. Since then, he has built suspense with tantalising updates, teasing an imminent release of documents never before shared by the US government. "We're going to be releasing a lot of things that we haven't," Trump said on Wednesday at a White House event celebrating NASA astronauts.

Major boost to Donald Trump’s grand ballroom ambitions

When Donald Trump knocked down the East Wing of the White House without authorisation, few Republican politicians were willing to publicly back his ambitious renovations. But after the major security breach during the White House Correspondents' dinner on Saturday, they have changed their tune. Soon after, an armed gunman allegedly tried to kill the president, Trump said the scare justified the need for a ballroom in the White House. Work begins on the demolition of a part of the East Wing of the White House in October last year. (AP) And now prominent Republicans are agreeing with him. Senator Rand Paul, a prominent conservative who has often clashed with the Trump administration, will introduce legislation to allow the ballroom to go ahead. "Tomorr...

FBI Director Kash Patel sues The Atlantic for $348 million over claims of drunkenness

FBI Director Kash Patel is suing magazine The Atlantic for $US250 million (A$348 million) over reports of his alleged drunkenness. The article published last week referenced instances of Patel's excessive alcohol consumption impacting his job. But in a lawsuit filed today against the magazine and journalist Sarah Fitzpatrick, Patel described the article as a "sweeping, malicious and defamatory hit piece". FBI Director Kash Patel is suing The Atlantic over reports of drunkenness. (AP) "Fitzpatrick could not get a single person to go on the record in defence of these outrageous allegations, instead relying entirely on anonymous sources she knew to be both highly partisan with an axe to grind and also not in a position to know the facts," the lawsuit read.

Trump says US negotiators will be in Pakistan on Monday for talks with Iran

US President Donald Trump says negotiators will head to Pakistan on Monday for talks with Iran, lifting hopes of extending a ceasefire set to expire this week even as Washington and Tehran remain locked in a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz. The prospect of talks on the horizon, which Iran did not immediately confirm, came as ships remained unable to transit the critical waterway amid threats from Iran and a US blockade on ships heading to and from Iranian ports. Iranian officials said earlier on Sunday that they remained open to negotiation, but held firm that ships wouldn't pass the strait while the US blockade remained in effect.
