Meanwhile, Trump campaign staffers are being told to 'stay in the fight,' even though their jobs are slated to end next week.

An unnamed White House source said that McEntee told department heads to get rid of any political appointees looking for their next jobs while Trump is still falsely claiming he has not lost the 2020 presidential election.

Meanwhile, Trump's campaign is telling its staff to keep up the fight for the White House, but it's unclear whether those staffers will still be employed next week, CNN reports.

On Monday, leaders of the campaign reminded staffers that the election was not over and told them, "Stay in the fight!".

But the staffers, employed with contracts that expire on Nov. 15, have not been told whether the contracts will be extended.

"Hard for people to stay in the fight when they'll be unemployed a week from today," a campaign source said.

Meanwhile, President-elect Biden and his team are proceeding with work on his transition to the White House. »

The company said the number of contacts about a private rental in a four-week period was achieved without any significant marketing or press announcement, and is more than four times higher than the total amount of AMC’s private theatre rentals in all of 2019. »

Now criminal charges against one West Virginia man suggest that the digital gunsmithing method has been adopted by violent, anti-government domestic extremists: the Boogaloo movement.

The FBI says Watson attempted to disguise the devices as wall hooks for keys or coats.

Those simple components have been banned in the US—aside from rare, grandfathered-in automatic rifle registration—for more than 20 years. »
