Vanity Fair got its hands on Donald Trump’s pre-nuptial agreement with ex-wife Marla Maples.
Among the revelations:
Trump agreed to pay Maples only $1 million if they separated within five years, plus another $1 million to buy a house. Trump also would stop making $100,000 child support payments for [daughter] Tiffany when she turned 21. The agreement states that Trump’s payments would cease earlier if Tiffany got a full-time job, enlisted in the military, or joined the Peace Corps.
They ended up separating after four years.

Business Insider reports that Joe Biden’s climate change plan appears to have lifted multiple sentences directly from outside sources.

House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff called Attorney General William Barr the “second most dangerous man in the country.”
“We find ourselves, I think, for the first time with an attorney general who really is the president’s defense lawyer and spokesperson who’s quite good at it and has the veneer of respectability to camouflage what he’s doing,” Schiff said Tuesday at a Council on Foreign Relations event, the Hill reported. “He is not the sophist that [presidentiallawyerRudy] Giuliani is, he’s much more dangerous, and I think he’s the second-most-dangerous man in the country,”

Donald Trump may be preparing to declare another national emergency in order to impose his threatened tariffs on Mexico. Senator Tim Scott told CNN that was the plan after administration officials briefed Republican senators at a lunch Tuesday. Previously, Trump declared a national emergency to get money for a border wall, and then vetoed legislation passed by both the House and Senate that would have stopped him.

Washington governor and presidential candidate Jay Inslee sent a letter to Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez urging him to hold a debate focused on the climate crisis, the Daily Beast reports.
“The Democratic Party’s response to climate change cannot only be a few quick questions in the first debates where, in 60 seconds, candidates merely agree that this issue is important, and move on,” he wrote. “We need a full debate to really wrestle with who has the best plans to defeat this existential crisis, who has demonstrated the commitment it will take to get this job done, and who understands the scale of ambition necessary to see this mission through to completion.”
