- Trump demands Senate Republicans fire parliamentarian
President Trump demanded that Senate Republicans fire nonpartisan Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough after she ruled that funding for a White House ballroom project cannot be included in an immigration enforcement bill under Senate rules. Trump accused MacDonough of obstructing his agenda, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune defended the parliamentarian's independence and expressed concern about the security implications of Trump's demand.
