The former US president, Donald Trump, is involved in a vote-rigging affair in the state of Georgia. During the presidential elections on 3 November 2020, the outgoing president reportedly tried to pressure a certain Brad Raffensperger, in charge of the elections, in order to capture the votes of voters in this part of the United States.

Donald Trump is caught up in an audio recording published by the Washington Post in which he tries to convince the Georgian State Electoral Officer, Brad Raffensperger, to review the figures and proceed with a new recount.An attempt at fraud and corruption in order to win the election in this state, which has 16 electors. “All I want is to find 11,780 ballots … because we won this state … There’s no harm in saying that you recalculated … You know what they did and you don’t talk about it: it’s a crime, you can’t let it happen, it’s a big risk for you.” , said the former US president clearly in the phone recording. A request rejected with diplomacy by the courageous Brad Raffensperger who simply replied “we think our numbers are good.”

The figures in question put the candidate Joe Biden largely winner with more than 12,000 votes of difference. The latter was elected President of the United States on 14 December 2020 with 306 electors against 232 for outgoing President Donald Trump.

UNITED STATES – Donald Trump wants to restart negotiations between Russia and Ukraine

Karoline Leavitt, spokesperson for the White House, reaffirmed on Monday, June 2, 2025, the willingness of US President Donald Trump to see Russia and Ukraine begin peace negotiations. During a press conference, she insisted on the importance of direct dialogue between the two parties to end a conflict that has already cost too many human lives.

Speaking to reporters, Leavitt recalled that President Trump strongly supports a return to the negotiating table, drawing in particular on previous talks held in Istanbul. “The president wants the two leaders, along with their delegations, to sit at the negotiating table. Today, we saw that this was possible thanks to his insistence,” she said, while specifying that only Trump will express himself in detail on his position.

Asked about a recent drone attack attributed to Ukraine and targeting Russian territory, Leavitt preferred to insist on the need for a de-escalation. “This war must now end. It has been merciless for both sides, and far too many lives have been lost,” she said.

These remarks, relayed by the Anadolu agency and translated from Turkish by Ayse Betul Akcesme, reflect a new direction in the communication of the White House, emphasizing the role that Washington wishes to play to encourage a diplomatic solution.

Although President Trump has not yet spoken personally about these recent developments, his spokesperson suggests that an initiative in favor of peace could take shape in the coming weeks.

UNITED STATES – Elon Musk leaves the Trump ship

Elon Musk announced the end of his role as a special government employee in President Donald Trump’s administration on Thursday, 29 May 2025, marking the conclusion of his involvement with the Department for Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Musk, who had been appointed to lead efforts to reduce federal bureaucracy and public spending, expressed his gratitude to President Trump for this opportunity to serve.

In a post on his social media platform X, Musk wrote, “Grateful to President Trump for the opportunity to serve. It was a difficult but rewarding experience.”

Shortly after his message, a White House official confirmed his departure and indicated that his resignation process “will begin this evening.”

Musk’s departure comes after his public criticism of President Trump’s “great and beautiful bill”, a legislative package that includes tax cuts and immigration control measures but significantly increases the federal deficit.

Musk described the bill as counterproductive to the DOGE’s mission and expressed disappointment.
During his tenure, Musk has implemented drastic cost-cutting measures through the DOGE, including mass layoffs and termination of federal contracts. These actions have led to strong criticism, protests – including against Tesla – and dozens of lawsuits, as well as concerns about attempts to access private government data.

A federal judge recently allowed a complaint filed by 14 American states against Musk and the DOGE to proceed.
This complaint accuses Musk and the DOGE of unconstitutional actions, including unauthorized access to government data systems, cancellation of federal contracts and dismissal of federal employees.

Musk plans to refocus on his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, and reduce his political contributions. Despite initial optimism, Musk admitted his frustration with bureaucratic resistance in Washington.

The White House plans to implement some of the reductions recommended by the DOGE through budget cancellations. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that this bill will increase deficits by $3.8 trillion over a decade, while regulators remain skeptical of claims that it will be deficit-neutral.
