TRUMP MEETS SECRET PERSON IN OVAL OFFICE LOOK WHO IS AT WHITE HOUSE -
Trump Hosts Spencer Pratt At WH After Launching New Media Organization
A surprise White House meeting involving an unlikely political figure is generating fresh buzz after a photo from inside the Oval Office surfaced online.
The visit comes just days after a major announcement that signals the former reality television star has no plans to step away from politics or public advocacy.
Former The Hills star and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt shared a photo Tuesday showing himself meeting with President Donald Trump inside the Oval Office.
The image, posted to Pratt’s X account, showed him seated alongside three others, including what appeared to be his son and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
“I will never stop fighting for my community,” Pratt wrote alongside the photo.
Neither Pratt nor the White House immediately provided additional details about what was discussed during the meeting.
The visit came shortly after Pratt announced the launch of a new organization known as the WAR Foundation.
According to Pratt, the group will focus on promoting transparency and accountability through “hard-hitting media, investigative research, educational campaigns, and strategic partnerships in government and media.”
State records show the foundation was officially filed with the California Secretary of State on June 24 by campaign staffers Gabriel Mann and Briana Bilbray.
Announcing the initiative on social media, Pratt said the organization would use “innovative media” to advocate for “transparency, accountability, and integrity in government and culture.”
“Our biggest weakness today is the lack of courage in leadership and culture; everyone wants common sense, but everyone is too afraid to demand it,” Pratt wrote.
“Above all, we will be bold, unapologetic, and fearless.”
Pratt entered politics earlier this year with an unconventional campaign for mayor of Los Angeles that leaned heavily on social media, viral videos and criticism of city leadership.
He frequently targeted Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom over issues including homelessness, crime and the city’s response to the devastating Palisades wildfire.
Many of Pratt’s campaign videos portrayed him as an outsider determined to challenge the political establishment, while supporters created AI-generated clips depicting him as a superhero battling Bass and Newsom.
One of his most widely viewed campaign videos, titled They Not Like Us, featured Pratt filming from an Airstream trailer parked on his burned Palisades property while criticizing city leaders over what he described as government failures.
Although Pratt ultimately failed to advance to the November runoff election, he drew national attention throughout the race.
Late last month, President Trump publicly encouraged Pratt to challenge the election results after he finished third in the primary.
“Spencer Pratt… He shouldn’t go away quietly,” Trump said. “He should protest because it was, in my very strong opinion, that was a rigged election.”
Trump had also expressed support for Pratt before the election.
“I’d like to see him do well — he’s a character,” the president said at the time.
“I don’t know him. I assume he probably supports me. Does he support me?… I heard he does. I heard he’s a big MAGA person. He’s doing well.”

When the votes were counted, Pratt finished with 217,977 votes, placing third behind City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, who earned 247,781 votes to secure the second runoff spot.
Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass finished first and advanced to the general election.
Tuesday’s Oval Office meeting suggests Pratt remains engaged in conservative politics even after his mayoral campaign ended. While the purpose of the meeting has not been disclosed, the timing coincides with the launch of his new media organization and follows Trump’s repeated praise for Pratt during the Los Angeles mayoral race.

BREAKING:💔Trump Issues Statement Regarding Health of Mitch McConnell
Mitch McConnell Health Update: Speculation Continues Amid Limited Public Information
Weeks after former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was hospitalized following a medical emergency at his Washington, D.C. home, questions persist about the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican’s condition and his ability to complete his Senate term, which ends in January 2027.
McConnell was reportedly found unconscious on or around June 14, with initial accounts indicating CPR was administered. His office has released few details since then, describing him as receiving “excellent care,” continuing to improve, and working with staff on Kentucky and Senate matters remotely while in recovery.
Later updates from McConnell’s team clarified that the senator suffered a fall, was briefly unconscious, and was treated for a mild case of pneumonia. He has since moved to a rehabilitation facility to regain strength and stated he does not plan an immediate return to the Senate floor.
Political Reactions and Calls for Transparency
White House: President Trump recently said he had “no idea” about McConnell’s current status and had not spoken with him since the hospitalization.
Kentucky Governor: Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear sent a letter to McConnell requesting a full public update on his health, citing transparency obligations to constituents.
Senate Colleagues: Responses from fellow Republicans have been mixed. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said early on that McConnell “sounded good” in a conversation. However, Sen. Mike Lee noted that many members remain uninformed about details.
The limited information has sparked online speculation and criticism, including unverified claims about his condition. McConnell’s office has pushed back against rumors, noting ongoing improvement.
Broader Context
This situation has renewed debate over health transparency for aging lawmakers. McConnell has a history of health challenges, including previous incidents like a concussion in 2023. As of mid-July 2026, he remains absent from the Senate as it resumes work, narrowing the Republican majority’s margin on key committees.
No official timeline for his return has been confirmed, and public frustration continues over the lack of recent visual updates or more detailed medical disclosures.
This remains a developing story. For the most current details, check official statements from Sen. McConnell’s office or major news outlets.
'NATIONAL EMERGENCY' DECLARED, TRUMP SURGES US TROOPS AFTER 'MASS CASUALTIES’
Over 500 Dead In Venezuela As Rescuers Race To Find Quake Victims
Rescuers scramble to reach survivors before the “golden window” to save people closes, as at least 589 people have died in Venezuela’s twin quakes.
The country is mired in a political and financial crisis. The second quake was the strongest in the country in more than a century.
Close to 3,000 people have been wounded, many more are missing, and others remain trapped under tons of rubble.
President Donald Trump has vowed to ramp up help to Venezuela following Thursday’s quake.
“We took over Venezuela in less than one day, and the oil is flowing, and we’re getting along with them great,” Trump said in remarks from the Rose Garden Thursday evening.
“We’re going to, by the way, help them with their big – they had a tremendous earthquake last night. Did you read about massive, massive in Caracas? But we’re going to help them out,” Trump added.
A Marine Corps general flew into Caracas on Thursday to help lead the US military’s earthquake relief effort in Venezuela, where, just six months ago, US special forces launched a deadly raid to capture President Nicolás Maduro.
Maj. Gen. Kevin J. Jarrard is the senior Southern Command official on the ground.
The military said he is to “plan, coordinate, and direct the flow of rescue teams, equipment, and aid into the hardest-hit areas.”
US aircraft are flying search crews and supplies in, while State Department personnel are coordinating the broader response.
Southern Command, which directs US military activities in Latin America and the Caribbean, said it was “surging” forces to the region at the request of the interim government.
Relief teams from around the world are also mobilizing aid, and foreign aid pledges are pouring in.
“We haven’t slept a wink in our efforts to save lives,” acting President Delcy Rodríguez said on Friday.
Rodríguez also praised the arrival of international assistance and emergency crews, saying, “We have saved dozens of lives.”
More than 100 buildings collapsed in the La Guaira state, the area hardest hit by the double quake that struck Venezuela on Wednesday, Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said.
During a broadcast on state-run Venezolana de Televisión (VTV), Cabello said Caraballeda and Catia La Mar were the hardest-hit areas in the state and said 11,500 security personnel would be deployed to La Guaira on Friday to “guarantee peace.”
Venezuelan forces deployed to the area hit by Wednesday’s double earthquake are still searching for people who may be trapped under the rubble.
In an interview granted to Venezuelan public television (VTV), the Sectoral Vice President of Public Works and Services, Juan José Ramírez, stated that operations are being carried out with different machinery, such as percussion equipment that allows for the controlled breaking of concrete, with the hope of finding and rescuing more people alive.
Ramírez appealed to the public to let specialized civil protection teams do their job.
“Many times, volunteers trying to help can actually make things worse,” the official said.
Ramírez emphasized that the priority is “to save lives,” while efforts are also underway to restore basic services such as water and communications.
The US Treasury Department said Thursday it will permit “all transactions” with Venezuela “related to earthquake relief efforts.”
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) authorizes only partial and temporary relief from restrictions from June 26 through October 23.
The general license allows the processing and transfer of funds on behalf of third-country individuals “to or from” Venezuela, as long as they support operations covered by the specific authorization.
Venezuelans are frustrated by the slow pace of the government’s rescue response in the immediate aftermath of the twin quakes that struck on Wednesday.
“People are really frustrated. They are scared because they know that they don’t have a state that will fulfill its role. So they know that nobody is going to go there and help them,” said Venezuelan economist Jorge Jraissati.
