- Leaked AfD documents reveal decade-long courtship of Trump and MAGA figures — A data breach of Germany's far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party has exposed over 420,000 emails and documents spanning from 2013 to present, revealing systematic efforts to cultivate relationships with Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, and other MAGA-aligned figures. The leak shows AfD officials crafting obsequious messages to Trump after his 2016 election, requesting political favors (including removal of UN "enemy state" clauses), and coordinating with Trump administration officials during his second term, including meetings with State Department representatives and Vice President JD Vance with party co-leader Alice Weidel in February 2025.
