Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

Here's a fun little nugget from Trump's demand that DOJ pay him, personally, $250 million: In his memo, he argues that prosecutors "should have foreseen" that he has "immunity from prosecution for officials acts." Thank you John Roberts, great rule of law-ing, sir! static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...
![Moreover, as former U.S. Court of Appeals Judge and now-Attorney General Merrick
Garland should have foreseen, President Trump had immunity from prosecution for
official acts.23 As such, given the Supreme Court's immunity decision and Judge
Cannon's dismissal of the prosecution on grounds that the Special Counsel's
appointment violated the appointments clause and his office was funded through an
