Trump news: President launches series of wild attacks on 'enemy of the people' US media as impeachment threat grows

Take a look below for our live updates from throughout the day on Tuesday

'We are completely rebuilding our military' Trump boasts about military at Easter Egg event

Donald Trump has lashed out at The New York Times, Morning Joe, CNN, Democrats, and the EU on Twitter — as well as the social media platform itself — during a busy morning in which a new state visit to Britain was also confirmed.

As the president continues to gloat over the outcome of the Mueller report, Democrats are busy formulating their response. Mr Trump has claimed the report exonerates him, but Democrats see grounds for potential impeachment, with 2020 hopeful Elizabeth Warren the most vocal among a growing choir calling for that measure: “If any other human being in this country had done what’s documented in the Mueller report, they would be arrested and put in jail.”

President Trump yesterday took part in the traditional White House Easter Egg Roll in characteristic style, bragging to an audience of children about his rebuilding of the US military and stressing the need for his forthcoming border wall.

While Tuesday proved to be a relatively quite day in Washington compared to the events of te week prior, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case that could have a dramatic impact on American politics in the years to come.

The court heard arguments related to a challenge to the Trump administration's push to include a question about citizenship on the 2020 census, which could lead around 6.5 million people to avoid the national head count.

The court appeared divided along party lines on Tuesday, which could lead to a 5-4 split decision in favour of the Trump administration on the issue.

“The whole thing’s just a big distraction for the country,” Mr Kushner said in New York on Tuesday.

Six more Trump appointees are now facing ethics probes, adding to a remarkable list of individuals in this administration to get caught up in these sorts of investigations.

These six are all in the Interior Department, and are being investigated for potentially engaging with their former employers on department-related business.

Among those being investigated are assistant secretary for insular and international affairs Doug Domenech, White House liaison Lori Mashburn and three senior staff with the Office of Intergovernmental and External Affairs, according to the Washington Post.

The investigation follows after the Campaign Legal Centre filed a request for a probe into the matter in February.
