This June, I spent more time outside than I have in...a year. Whether it was grilling, making pizza, or just hanging out, you can bet I was back there doing the thing.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance and his investigative team are reportedly considering bringing charges against the Trump Organization.
