President Trump stunned Washington insiders Monday by announcing that he will attend this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 25 — after snubbing journalists and skipping all prior dinners during his presidency.

"The White House Correspondents Association has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner, a long and storied tradition since it began in 1924, under then President Calvin Coolidge," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these 'Correspondents' now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., according to many, it will be my Honor to accept their invitation, and work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER!"

Trump added: "Because the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL, right from the beginning of my First Term, I boycotted the event, and never went as Honoree. However, I look forward to being with everyone this year. Hopefully, it will be something very Special."

Former President Bill Clinton took issue on Friday with his wife, Hillary, being forced to sit for a deposition as part of the congressional investigation into notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

“She had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Nothing,” Clinton seethed in a video posted on social media hours after he concluded his own testimony for the House Oversight Committee's Epstein probe.

“So whether ten people or 10,000 people were subpoenaed, including her, was simply not right,” the former president argued.

Clinton maintained that his "brief acquaintance with Epstein ended years before his crimes came to light" and that he never saw evidence of wrongdoing during his "limited interactions" with the disgraced financier.

“I offered the little I do know in the hopes that it would help prevent anything like this from ever happening again,” Clinton said.

“I saw nothing and did nothing wrong,” he added.

The former president said he hoped his appearance before the panel "will motivate everyone to go in front of Congress to say what they know."

"I hope it will motivate the Justice Department to finally release all the files," Clinton continued, "and to ensure that this never happens again.”

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) posted a photo of former President Bill Clinton testifying to the House Oversight Committee about notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The rep captioned the photo “'What difference, at this point, does it make?' -HRC," a reference to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's infamous statement during a hearing about the Benghazi terror attack in 2012.

Boebert leaked a similar photo of Hillary Clinton on Thursday, which led to a temporary halt to the proceedings.

President Trump made a pit stop at Corpus Christi, Texas,  Whataburger on Friday before leaving the Lone Star State. 

“Are these the best hamburgers?” Trump asked the customers inside the fast-food joint, many of whom appeared to be donning MAGA hats. 

The president then asked his supporters if they enjoyed his State of the Union address, before ordering some burgers for himself and his supporters. 

“Are you ready? Can you handle this? Hamburgers for all,” Trump told the Whataburger employees behind the counter. 

The president celebrated US energy dominance in a speech earlier on Friday at a port in Texas.

Former President Bill Clinton charmed lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee, with many Republicans praising him after his deposition for answering all their questions in a frank manner.

“He did respond to every single question even as his attorneys told him to shut up, he kept going,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), thanking him for being so forthcoming.

“President Clinton answered every question, or attempted to answer every question,” Oversight Chairman James Comer noted.

When asked why Friday’s deposition went so well compared to Hillary Clinton’s on Thursday, Comer chuckled.

“Everybody knows President Clinton. He’s got southern people skills and is a charming individual,” he said.

House Oversight Chair James Comer said President Bill Clinton answered “every question” in his deposition before the committee on his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Comer spoke to reporters in New York after the deposition ended.

“President Clinton answered every question, or attempted to answer every question,” he said, adding the video of deposition will be released. 

Comer (R-Ky.) also the investigation would continue and he plans to call additional witnesses. 

“We still have lots of questions about how Epstein accumulated so much wealth, and we will continue to bring some more people in,” he said.

President Trump gave a shout-out to Texas Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales Friday afternoon — standing by the embattled congressman after the revelation he solicited "sexy" images from an aide who later killed herself.

"Congressman Tony Gonzales is here. Tony, congratulations," Trump said during a speech in Corpus Christi.

Some audience members booed Gonzales, with only very light applause — as a group of House Republican colleagues demand his resignation.

"I endorsed all of these people, by the way," Trump told the crowd after rattling off other names of officials in attendance.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Friday that Iran has been designated a state sponsor of wrongful detention and urged Americans to “leave immediately.” 

“For decades, Iran has continued to cruelly detain innocent Americans, as well as citizens of other nations, to use as political leverage against other states,” Rubio said in a statement. “This abhorrent practice must end.” 

The secretary of state called on the Iranian regime to “stop taking hostages and release all Americans unjustly detained in Iran.” 

“No American should travel to Iran for any reason,” Rubio warned. “We reiterate our call for Americans who are currently in Iran to leave immediately.”

Former President Bill Clinton denied having sex with a mystery woman photographed with him in a hot tub as part of the Jeffrey Epstein files release.

During his deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Friday, Clinton was pressed on the racy photo where he was snapped reclining nearly naked in a hot tub with an unidentified woman at his waist.

Clinton denied knowing who the woman was and told lawmakers under oath he did not have sexual relations with her, according to a source familiar with his testimony.

Clinton maintained that his contact with Epstein ended before the late financier was charged with sex crimes. Clinton told the lawmakers he did nothing wrong.

President Trump claimed Friday that his economic policies and the roaring stock market improved the "sex life" of an NYPD officer whose wife previously treated him "like a dog."

"This wonderful, tough policeman from New York — he's taking good care of us — and he said, 'Sir, it's so good. My married life has gotten so much better,'" Trump told rally-goers in Texas.

Trump quoted the cop as telling him: "My wife thought I was a loser financially. I couldn't make any money because my 401k was dying for years. And now she thinks I'm the smartest financial genius ever. It's made my sex life good... it's given me a tremendous boost in life."

The president's colorful account was an appropriation of his frequently told laugh-line about rising stock values making husbands appear to be geniuses to their spouses.

"So this is a big, tough cop. He said, 'My wife treated me like a dog, and now she admires my financial genius, and I haven't done anything. My 401k has gone through the roof,'" Trump went on.

"So I said, 'Thank you very much.' But everybody's there, right? Everybody's up. Has anybody gone down with their 401k?"

President Trump said he saw Rep. Ilhan Omar's eyes "bulging" as she heckled him during Tuesday night's State of the Union address.

"How about Omar? Screaming, screaming, screaming like a lunatic," Trump told a rally audience in Texas — three days after the Minnesota Democrat shouted her opposition to his mass-deportation campaign.

"You looked at her bulging eyes, she's crazy. Get her the hell out of here — Omar and her friend, and her little friend sitting next to her," he added, referring to Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), who also heckled Trump and spoke loudly throughout his annual speech to Congress.

President Trump pointed to the massive tanker the CAP Corpus Christi, docked at the Port of Corpus Christi, and revealed it was carrying oil from Venezuela.

"Do you want to see something nice? Look at that," he said gesturing to the tanker behind him. "Right out of Venezuela!

Trump said there were “millions of barrels of oil pouring right in here” from the South American country.

"360,000 barrels of Venezuelan crude are right now sitting in the tanker on my left," he told the crowd at his rally at the port.

The Trump administration has intercepted at least 10 oil tankers since removing President Nicolas Madura from power.
