From CNN’s @MarshallCohen and @YahyaGhazala: Detroit mayor’s office says they don’t know what Trump is talking about; spokesman for Detroit elections department says, “We are unaware of any police presence in the city for elections beyond what was outlined in a press conference last Thursday and widely reported nationally.”

Quincy Jones earned a scholarship to Boston's Schillinger House (now the Berklee College of Music) in 1951. A display outside the Office of the President features facsimiles of the then-17-year-old's letter of inquiry and application for admission.
