White House

President Trump says he's revoking Secret Service protection for Joe Biden's adult children Hunter and Ashley ... despite extending the same benefits to his own offspring after his first term.

Here's the deal ... Biden assigned Secret Service security details to Hunter and Ashley shortly before leaving office in January, providing them protection until July.

Trump says he's pulling the plug early, though ... announcing Monday on social media, "Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer. There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous!"

POTUS says Hunter has the detail with him on vacation in South Africa and adds ... "Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection."

Trump also claims Ashley has 13 Secret Service agents assigned to protect her ... but he's ending the benefit.

It's officially a St. Patrick's Day party at the White House ... Conor McGregor's arrived!!

The UFC superstar -- and arguably Ireland's most famous native -- hit up 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. on Monday morning to celebrate his nation's big day ... and Donald Trump and Co. welcomed him with open arms.

The 36-year-old fighter fielded some questions from media inside the building's press briefing room ... before he filmed a fun video that White House officials threw up on their X page.

A Black mother who lost her son before the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement says the removal of BLM Plaza in our nation's capital is a sign the country is in a bad place.

Ahmaud Arbery's mom, Wanda Cooper Jones, tells TMZ ... the removal of the BLM mural in Washington, D.C. "feels like a bad omen" and she says it serves as "a reminder of how fragile progress can be."

Wanda says BLM was never about murals, monuments, or symbolic gestures ... it's always been about accountability, justice and meaningful change -- but she doesn't like the change being made here.

9:55 AM PT -- In the Oval Office today at the White House, President Donald Trump met with Ireland's Taoiseach, Micheál Martin -- the country's prime minister -- and Martin was asked why Ireland would allow Rosie O'Donnell to move there ... "Thank you, I like that question," Trump responded. Martin didn't seem to know who they were talking about, as they all chuckled.

Rosie O'Donnell says she's ditched the U.S.A. for her ancestral homeland ... telling fans she and her daughter have moved to Ireland -- and, President Trump's team says the White House couldn't be happier.

The former talk show host announced the move in a nearly 10-minute-long video she posted to TikTok earlier this week ... and, in it she says she moved to the Emerald Isle on January 15.

O'Donnell -- who says she's in the process of getting Irish citizenship, because her grandparents were born in the country -- points to the fraught political situation in the United States of America as the reason for her move.

Jamie Foxx thinks Black American social efforts took a step back with the destruction of the Black Lives Matter Plaza in D.C. ... he remembers the effort it took to get the thing built in the first place!!!

The cleanup process for the BLM mural began this week after Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser got pressure from the White House to either change the name or lose the city's federal funding, should a proposed legislative bill pass.

It's not like the summer of 2020 -- when the mural was first installed -- was terribly long ago, but given the protests that surrounded the murder of George Floyd, Jamie probably assumed the political artwork would stand much longer ... it was originally planned to be permanent.

The Secret Service surrounded a man who was brandishing a gun near The White House on Sunday.

The agency said they were notified on Saturday by local law enforcement that a man who they believe was suicidal had traveled from Indiana to Washington D.C. late Saturday night, SS officials noticed the man parked next to a building directly next to The White House. The SS says as officers approached his vehicle, he brandished a firearm and “an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired.”

The man was transported to a local hospital where his condition is currently unknown, the agency’s statement concluded.

None of the Secret Service agents handling the situation were injured.

Curtis Stone is down to prepare a meal for President Trump ... and he's ready to bring a taste of Australia to the White House.

The celeb chef told us what he would serve Trump during an interview on our new TMZ podcast, "Big Down Under," with our camera guy Charlie Cotton.

Curtis says Wagyu beef would definitely be on the menu ... although it sounds like he's going to have to get creative with preparation, seeing as how Trump likes his steaks well done, with ketchup.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard wants to rip a page from Kim Kardashian's book ... she says she's open to talking with President Trump about changes that can be made to the prison system.

Gypsy was at LAX on Monday night when a photog asked her how she would feel about sitting down with Trump for a White House meeting on prison reform.

GRB says she would absolutely welcome such an opportunity if it came her way ... and she's got a lot she would like to say to POTUS.

More fallout from the Oval Office spat between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ... Trump is now pausing military aid to Ukraine.

The White House confirmed the move Monday ... with officials telling news outlets the U.S. is pausing and reviewing military aid to Ukraine to ensure the aid is contributing to a solution for the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war.

Unclear how long the pause will last but Fox News reports the aid won't start flowing until POTUS determines Ukraine's leadership demonstrates a good-faith commitment to peace with Russia.

Rep. Wesley Hunt is defending President Donald Trump over his Oval Office spat with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ... he says Trump's working the art of the deal to bring peace to the region.

The Congressman from Texas joined us Monday on "TMZ Live" and we asked him about Trump and J.D. Vance's heated exchange with Zelensky last week.

Hunt says Trump's right that Russia is winning the war in Ukraine and strongman Vladimir Putin holds all the cards ... and the United States can't keep giving Ukraine a blank check to fight the Russians.

President Trump gave Volodymyr Zelensky the boot from the White House after their explosive argument in front of the world, TMZ has confirmed.

White House sources tell TMZ ... President Trump asked his Ukrainian counterpart to leave after Trump and the two butted heads live on international TV in the Oval Office on Friday.

Moments later, FOX News journalist Jacqui Heinrich took to the airwaves and reported Trump's delegation told him he had to go home, pronto!

Turns out it's not just the Super Bowl winners visiting the White House -- at least one Kansas City Chief is, too -- Harrison Butker's currently kickin' it with President Donald Trump!

A W.H. staffer shared a photo Thursday morning showing Trump, seated at the Resolute Desk, speaking with the 29-year-old Pro Bowl kicker in the Oval Office.

It's unclear why Butker, who found himself at the center of a massive controversy last offseason with comments he made during a commencement address, was visiting 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Jay Leno is responding to Monica Lewinsky’s claims that he went especially hard on her after her affair with Bill Clinton hit the headlines in the '90s.

Sources close to Jay tell TMZ he didn’t target Monica personally back then -- he says she was just an easy punchline and fair game, since she was everywhere in the news at the time.

Addressing Monica's claims from Tuesday's "Call Her Daddy" interview with Alex Cooper, sources say Jay wouldn’t call it unfair -- she was often the butt of the jokes, but no one was out to get her personally. It's just that, in comedy, sometimes people get hurt.

Monica Lewinsky came in hot against Jay Leno ... calling him out as one of the people who went after her the hardest when her affair with former U.S. President Bill Clinton went public in the '90s.

In her "Call Her Daddy" podcast tell-all, Monica told host Alex Cooper about a study done after Leno retired ... revealing she made the list of his top 10 targets during his time hosting "The Tonight Show."

What’s worse, Monica pointed out she was the only non-public figure on the list, making it clear that being the punchline of Leno’s jokes, broadcast to the nation, was a whole new level of cruelty for her.

President Donald Trump is inviting the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House after all ... and Pacman Jones says it would be "ludicrous" for players to miss out on the opportunity.

TMZ Sports caught up with the former NFL star at LAX on Tuesday -- prior to No. 47 confirming he would open his doors to the Super Bowl champs -- and asked all about the speculation the team might pass on the honor.

Pacman said it's a no-brainer -- everyone absolutely should go to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue ... regardless of their political views.
