Former president Donald Trump continues to hold rallies and call the 2020 election into question amid several ongoing investigations.
The New York attorney general is investigating the Trump Organization's financial dealings, and new court filings detail the AG office's accusations against the company, including improperly inflated property values. Trump has denied all wrongdoing and accused the probes of being politically motivated.
Another ongoing investigation by the House of Representatives January 6 Select Committee includes subpoenas to Trump allies and administration officials who communicated with the president in the days and months preceding the attack on the Capitol.
After the committee and Trump's camp had been locked in a legal battle over records for months, the Supreme Court denied Trump's request earlier this month to seal presidential records sought by the committee, Insider's Azmi Haroun reported.
In the meantime, Trump has been teasing a 2024 run, saying at a recent rally in Texas he would consider pardons for rioters who attacked the Capitol on January 6 if elected, according to The New York Times.
Former first lady Melania Trump released a collection of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) with a portion of the proceeds funding scholarships for children in foster care.
After keeping a low profile in 2021, Melania announced in December that she would be releasing NFTs to benefit charity. She released a watercolor of her eyes painted by artist Marc-Antoine Coulon and titled "Melania's Vision," and "The Head of State Collection" featuring the white hat she wore when French president Emmanuel Macron visited the White House in 2018.
"Through this new technology-based initiative, we will provide children computer science skills, including programming and software development, to thrive after they age out of the foster care community," she said in a statement posted to her social media in December.
The eyes NFT sold for $150 in December. In January, she held an auction for "The Head of State Collection," but received far less than anticipated, Business Insider's Bill Bostock reported.
Buyers could only bid with the Solana cryptocurrency, but its value crashed 40% while the auction was underway, Bostock reported. In all, the bids were worth $162,144, while Trump's guide price was $250,000.
Melania Trump now resides at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
Donald Trump Jr. speaks at Trump rallies, bought a house in Florida, and is reportedly engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle.
As Trump's oldest son, Trump Jr., served as executive vice president of the Trump Organization and was instrumental in his father's presidential campaign. He has been dating former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle since 2018.
In March, Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle sold their house in the Hamptons for $8 million and purchased a $9.7 million home in the gated Admirals Cove neighborhood of Jupiter, Florida, about 20 minutes from Mar-a-Lago.
In January, Guilfoyle posted a photo with Trump Jr. where she appeared to be wearing a diamond ring on her left ring finger. An unnamed source told The Daily Mail in January 2022 that the pair quietly got engaged on New Year's Eve in 2020 and have been keeping it under wraps since then, but neither Trump Jr. nor Guilfoyle have confirmed their engagement publicly.
Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference last year. In his latest speaking engagement — a Trump rally in Conroe, Texas, on Saturday — Trump Jr. told the crowd he took his 12-year-old son, Donald Trump III, to a gun manufacturer to make his own AR-15.
Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, bought multiple properties in Florida and launched the Abraham Accords Caucus in October 2021.
Ivanka and Kushner both served as senior advisors in the Trump White House.
They reportedly bought a $32 million empty lot in Indian Creek Village, Florida, known as Miami's "Billionaire Bunker," in December 2020. They then signed a lease for a "large, unfurnished unit" in the amenities-packed Arte Surfside condominium building in Surfside, Florida, for at least a year, Katherine Clarke reported for The Wall Street Journal. They reportedly also added a $24 million mansion in Indian Creek Village to their Florida real-estate profile.
The Abraham Accords, which Kushner helped broker in August 2020, normalized relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. Ivanka and Kushner visited Israel in October 2021 to launch the Abraham Accords Caucus in the hope of "formulating future agreements with other countries," according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
In Israel, they met with former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and attended an event at the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem with former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Eric Trump serves as vice president of the Trump Organization, which is currently being investigated for fraud, and he is a regular on Fox News.
Eric was subpoenaed in the Trump Organization investigation in late 2020, but he invoked the Fifth Amendment right more than 500 times when they were deposed in 2020, New York State Attorney General Letitia James' office said, according to court documents.
Eric's cell phone records were also obtained by the House January 6 committee.
Eric also makes regular appearances on Fox News, criticizing President Joe Biden's leadership and weekend trips to Delaware.
Tiffany Trump is currently living in Miami and planning her wedding to Michael Boulos.
Tiffany is the only daughter from Trump's second marriage to model and television personality Marla Maples. She graduated from Georgetown University's law school in 2020.
Tiffany announced her engagement to Boulos on Instagram in January 2021, the day before Trump left office. The couple vacationed in Mykonos this summer — reportedly to scout out destination wedding locations, according to People magazine.
Trump's youngest child, Barron Trump, is finishing high school at Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida.
Barron was the first boy to live in the White House since John F. Kennedy Jr. In May 2017, he took his classmates to meet his dad at the White House.
Barron, who Trump says is now 6 feet 7 inches tall, will graduate high school with the class of 2024. He visited New York City with Melania in July.
