BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇸🇦 A bombshell Vanity Fair excerpt from Princes and Thieves alleges that Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone exposed secret discussions in which he promised to advance the agendas of Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman and UAE President Mohamed Bin Zayed with Trump in exchange for their participation in a secret fund.

The two royals reportedly discussed contributions exceeding $10 BILLION before ultimately placing at least $2 BILLION into accounts for Kushner.

Here are the main points:

Phone hacked: Dutch intelligence reportedly hacked Kushner’s iPhone and discovered information about secret financial transactions.

Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a version of SpaceX’s Starlink that Ukraine has relied on in its war against Russia, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter.

Musk, SpaceX’s founder and CEO, last week “capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the satellite-based network,” the Journal reported. The decision left some Ukrainian drones virtually inoperable, according to the newspaper.

Trump engaged in a thoughtful, extended conversation with—nothingness. He suddenly stopped, waved, saluted, offered greetings, and chatted for a bit with the empty space. 😁🤭

The cameraman deliberately zoomed out to show that there was absolutely no one to be seen for hundreds of meters in any direction.

Apparently, Trump received a visit from the very same "invisible person"—the kind of encounter he had previously mocked Joe Biden for supposedly having.
