President Trump’s administration has escalated its conflict with Harvard University, stating it will end all financial ties with the Ivy League institution. The decision comes as part of a broader effort to address accusations of Harvard’s failure to combat a campus culture of antisemitism. The administration cited an internal Harvard investigation, which they claim has provided evidence to support their position.
A senior administration official told Fox News Digital that the government is now ‘out of business with Harvard University, fully.’ This move is seen as a significant escalation in the ongoing dispute, with Harvard’s own internal investigation reportedly providing the Trump administration with the ammunition they need to justify their actions.
The university has condemned the White House’s actions, accusing it of overreach and asserting that it is defending free speech. However, the university’s internal report appears to have been used by Trump officials to support their allegations. This has led to criticism, as the Harvard investigation is seen as having undermined the university’s stance.
While the focus is on the conflict with Harvard, the newsletter also includes other notable political updates. These include a new book alleging tensions between Biden and Harris during their campaigns, the passing of Rep. Charlie Rangel, and other developments on Capitol Hill. The Trump administration’s actions against Harvard are part of a larger narrative of political and economic tensions, which are expected to continue to dominate the news agenda.
