Former first lady Melania Trump is scheduled to host a fundraiser next month for Log Cabin Republicans, her second time this year hosting a gala for the group representing LGBTQ conservatives.

The former first lady will host the event at Trump Tower in New York City, Log Cabin Republicans confirmed. It will take place July 8.

The money from the event will be used for the organization’s efforts to support the presidential ticket and down-ballot Republicans in November’s elections.

Politico first reported that Trump would host the fundraiser.

The July fundraiser will mark a rare instance of engagement on the campaign trail for Trump, who has mostly been absent from her husband’s White House bid.

She hosted another fundraiser for Log Cabin Republicans at Mar-a-Lago in April, and she appeared alongside former President Trump in March when the two cast their ballots in the Florida primary.

When asked on primary day if she would appear alongside her husband on the trail, the former first lady replied, “Stay tuned.”

She appeared at former President Trump’s campaign launch in 2022, but she has not joined him during any of his recent rallies.

Melania Trump was also absent throughout former President Trump’s trial in New York City, where he was eventually found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection to a hush money scheme during the 2016 campaign.

“She’s fine, but I think it’s very hard for her,” Trump said of his wife during a Fox News interview after he was convicted.

Armageddon is upon us, and Britain will never be the same again
Make the most of living in Conservative Britain: Armageddon is upon us.

The removal vans, symbols of regime change, will be on their way. Parliament, the last major institution in Britain still nominally controlled by the centre-Right, will have fallen, in a wipeout without precedent.

OPINION - Keir Starmer crossed a big line when he called Rishi Sunak a liar — he shouldn't have done it
Now, the issue here isn’t the truthfulness or accuracy of Rishi Sunak’s claims about Labour’s tax plans: I quite accept that those claims are, to put it mildly, debatable. There were a hundred circumlocutions you could use: if Sir Keir had spluttered, “that’s not true!” it would have meant exactly the same thing, but would have been entirely unproblematic. Once, scrupulous people would use the word “untruth” in denying the veracity of a statement and this too would lack the terrible force of the word “lie”, which implies a deliberate intention to deceive.

Russia mulling downgrading ties with West, Kremlin says
MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia is considering a possible downgrading of relations with the West due to the deeper involvement of the United States and its allies in the Ukraine war, but no decision had yet been taken, the Kremlin said on Thursday. A downgrading of relations - or even breaking them off - would illustrate the gravity of the confrontation between Russia and the West over Ukraine after an escalation in tensions over the war in recent months.
