Trump plots next move with record-breaking $600 MILLION political war chest
Between a barrage of executive orders, foreign trips and norm-shattering proclamations, Donald Trump has also been busy raking in cash.
The president has amassed a war chest of at least $600 million in political donations heading into the midterm elections, according to three people familiar with the matter.
It's an unprecedented sum in modern politics, particularly for a lame-duck president who is barred by the U.S. Constitution from running again.
Trump is keeping an aggressive fundraising schedule with the ultimate goal of raising $1 billion or more to back his agenda and hold the House and Senate next November, according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to share internal details of the fundraising efforts.
The preoccupation with fundraising might seem highly unusual for a president who was notably averse to dialing for dollars when he first ran.
But according to people familiar with his thinking, it makes perfect sense: By amassing money, Trump amasses power.

Harvard sues over Kristi Noem's letter suddenly barring its ability to host foreign students
By Geoff Earle, Deputy U.S. Political Editor
Harvard University has filed suit against the Trump administration claiming unconstitutional retaliation for ending its ability to enroll foreign students.
‘With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard’s student body, international students who contribute significantly to the University and its mission,’ according to the suit. “Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard.’
It follows a letter Thursday from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Thursday telling the school that ‘effective immediately’ its certification as part of a student visa program was revoked and accused the school of harbouring ‘pro-terrorist agitators’ and ‘promoting antisemitism.
The schools is filing for a temporary restraining order. Nearly half of Harvard’s Kennedy School comes from overseas. Legal experts have said Noem’s order could constitute viewpoint discrimination and was likely to meet a court challenge.
