Trump Travels One Block From White House, Declares DC Crime-Free; Barron Trump Moves to Town; and GOP Begins Siege of Home Rule - Washingtonian
"Last night, for the first time ever, President Trump dined at a DC restaurant that wasn't in a property his company managed, heading one block from the White House to Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak, and Stone Crab. He was joined by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth-plus protesters who shouted at him in the restaurant. He was also booed on the way in."
"Trump continued to claim that his signature didn't grace a letter to disgraced, deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein, with whom he used to enjoy a close friendship, in a 2003 birthday book Congress released Monday. He called the swirling controversy about his ties to Epstein a "dead issue." "[I]n order for Trump's page to be a fake it would have had to be faked in 2003, when the book was bound.""

President Trump dined at Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak, and Stone Crab, joined by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and encountered protesters and boos. Trump asserted DC has "virtually no crime" after a temporary takeover of the District police force. Code Pink interrupted the meal, calling him the "Hitler of our times." Trump denied his signature in a 2003 Jeffrey Epstein birthday book and labeled the controversy a "dead issue," while The Bulwark questioned the motive for forging a page in 2003.
