    Melania Trump 'Abdicates' First Lady Duties, Says Biographer

    Michael Wolff, a longtime biographer of President Donald Trump, has alleged that Melania Trump has 'abdicated' the traditional duties of a first lady. Wolff's comments come after Melania's reappearance at the White House for an event celebrating the expansion of her Fostering the Future Initiative, her first public outing in over a month. Wolff suggested that Melania's remark, 'Here I am! Welcome to the White House,' was a taunt directed at both the public and her husband. He also argued that her recent public appearances have been more focused on corporate interests than the public good, and that she has been 'monetizing' her role as first lady.

    Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Dae'Quan Wright has become the first active NFL player to enter the NCAA transfer portal, aiming to regain college eligibility.

The unusual move comes after a Louisiana court granted a temporary restraining order, allowing some players to pursue another year of college football. Browns head coach Todd Monken expressed surprise at Wright's actions, noting that Kiffin had reached out to him a week ago.
