Report: Trump FBI Raid Focused on Boxes of White House Documents

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI raid of former President Donald Trump’s home was reportedly focused on documents Trump may have taken with him from the White House to Mar-A-Lago after leaving office.

Trump announced his Florida home was “under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents” in a statement on Monday.

“Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries, Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level not seen before,” Trump said. “They even broke into my safe!”

The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman reported the investigation “appeared to be focused on material that Mr. Trump had brought with him to Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence, after he left the White House,” shortly after Trump confirmed the FBI raid. . .

CNN and Politico also reported that the raid, which took “hours,” focused on potential documents that were improperly removed from the Trump White House.

‘I LIKE TO WIN’: Tim Scott Defends Backing Murkowski Instead of Trump-Backed GOP Candidate

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Tim Scott Thursday defended his endorsement of Sen. Lisa Murkowski for re-election, amid blowback from some Republicans who support her Trump-endorsed opponent, Kelly Tshibaka.

“The road to socialism runs right through a divided Republican Party,” Scott, R-S.C., said. “I like winning and frankly the best shot at us keeping that seat is without doubt Lisa Murkowski.”

Scott said that among the reasons he thinks Murkowski, R-Alaska, gives Republicans the best chance to hold on to her seat in a key election year is that “the power of incumbency is undeniable.” He added that “she works really hard.”

The senator’s endorsement puts him at odds with former President Donald Trump in the key Senate race — a move that angered some on the right.

But Scott is far from the only Republican to be on the opposite side of a Senate race from Trump this cycle. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas; former Vice President Mike Pence; Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y.; Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.; and others have endorsed 2022 GOP primary candidates in races where Trump endorsed their competitor.

WATCH: Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, and Marjorie Taylor Greene Cheer as LIV Golf Crowd Chants ‘Let’s Go Brandon’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Mediaite. Former President Donald Trump was joined by some of his family, Fox News’s Tucker Carlson, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on his golf course, as “Let’s Go, Brandon,” chants broke out during the Saudi-backed LIV tournament.

The chant became a commonly used MAGA phrase after a sports reporter misheard a crowd, thinking they were celebrating NASCAR driver Brandon Brown’s victory. Trump supporters have used the slogan as a way to criticize Biden vocally.

In a video posted to Twitter, chants broke out as the crowd spotted Trump, Carlson, Greene, Eric Trump, and Kimberly Guilfoyle as the group smiled and waved.

Trump Shares Joke With Tucker at Golf Club Weeks After Fox Star Shot Down Presidential Run Rumors

By Daily Mail. Donald Trump shared a joke with Fox News star Tucker Carlson during the Saudi-backed LIV golf tournament at his Bedminster golf club Sunday.

The former president, 76, and the TV star who recently insisted he’d never run for president were all-smiles as they were joined by Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to watch the action unfold at the Trump National Golf Club.

LIV arrived at Trump’s club on July 29, sparking controversy from some 9/11 victims who say the Saudi-backed tournament should not be welcomed on US shores.

The former president sparked outrage by saying there was no proof Saudi was linked to the September 2001 atrocity in New York City – which sits just 40 miles from Bedminster – Washington DC and Pennsylvania.

Sunday is the final day of the tournament in Bedminster. It will now move onto The International golf club near Boston, before concluding at Rich Harvest Farms in Illinois on September 18.

Trump Mocks Biden, Claims He Has Dementia in Wild Post

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump accused President Joe Biden of having dementia rather than a COVID-19 rebound infection in a backhanded “get well” message on his Truth Social platform that spurred a wild rant Sunday.

The former president began by trolling his successor on the social media site over his re-diagnosis. The sarcastic opener led Trump down a rabbit hole, joking that Biden was “thinking of moving, part time, to one of those beautiful Wisconsin Nursing Homes” before rehashing his grievances with the 2020 election and reiterating his debunked accusations of widespread fraud.

“Joe Biden’s second bout of Covid, sometimes referred to as the China Virus, was sadly misdiagnosed by his doctors. He instead has Dementia, but is happily recovering well,” Trump wrote. “Joe is thinking of moving, part time, to one of those beautiful Wisconsin Nursing Homes, where almost 100% of the residents miraculously, and for the first time in history, had the strength and energy to vote — even if those votes were cast illegally.”

“Get well soon, Joe!” he added. (Read more from “Trump Mocks Biden, Claims He Has Dementia in Wild Post” HERE)

Trump to Sue CNN

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump notified CNN of his intention to file a lawsuit against the network for “repeated defamatory statements” in a statement Wednesday.

Ifrah Law, a Washington-based law firm, filed a Notice of Intent ordering the network, under Florida Statute § 770.02, to “publish a full and fair correction, apology, or retraction” in published pieces or broadcasts that allegedly made “false statements” about the former president. The notice warned that failure to issue an apology will result in a lawsuit.

“Failure to publish such a correction, apology, or retraction will result in the filing of a lawsuit and damages being sought against you, CNN,” the document warned.

Trump warned he will be suing other media outlets that have “defamed and defrauded the public” about the 2020 presidential election results.

“I have notified CNN of my intent to file a lawsuit over their repeated defamatory statements against me,” Trump said. “I will also be commencing actions against other media outlets who have defamed me and defrauded the public regarding the overwhelming evidence of fraud throughout the 2020 Election. I will never stop fighting for the truth and for the future of our Country!” (Read more from “Trump to Sue CNN” HERE)

42 Proposals Trump Outlined at AF Summit

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald J. Trump laid out 42 policy proposals at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) summit Tuesday, where he gave his first speech in Washington, DC, since leaving office.

Prepared remarks circulated by the Trump team show the 45th president’s proposals on an array of topics, including the Second Amendment, border security, education, energy, and election integrity, but a central focus of his policy proposal addresses law and order.

1. The prepared remarks first emphasized the importance of supporting police departments throughout the country and fostering a culture that respects law enforcement. “We have to give our police back their authority, resources, power, and prestige. Leave our police alone. Let them do their job. Give them back their RESPECT. They know what to do. We have to allow them to do it,” Trump’s plan said.

2. On top of giving officers the tools they need to succeed, Trump’s policy proposal called for the restitution of “stop-and-frisk policies in cities,” adding that it is imperative guns are taken from criminals. “If you are a convicted felon and you have a gun, you’re off the streets,” the proposal asserts.

3. Trump also proposed strengthening “qualified immunity and other protections for our police officers.”

At Odds: Pence Says He and Trump ‘Differ on Focus,’ Not Issues

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Mike Pence admitted that he and ex-President Donald Trump “may differ” on their focus for the future of the Republican Party, but he would not go so far as to say the movement was “divided” as the two potential 2024 presidential candidates were scheduled to hold back-to-back events in Washington, DC, on Tuesday. . .

“President Trump and yourself are both speaking this week in DC. And there seems to be a divide between the two of you on your outlook on what the future of the conservative movement might be,” Andrew Rashard, a student at Gettysburg College, asked the former vice president.

“So do you think that this divide extends to the rest of the conservative movement like the general public, and what do you think we can do to alleviate it? . . .

“So I don’t know that our movement is that divided,” he said. “I don’t — I don’t know that the president and I differ on issues.

“But we may differ on focus,” Pence admitted. (Read more from “At Odds: Pence Says He and Trump ‘Differ on Focus,’ Not Issues” HERE)

Trump: Biden Sends $60B to Ukraine for Weapons to Be ‘Obliterated’ by Russia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Not only would Russia have not waged war on Ukraine under the Trump administration, but the U.S. taxpayers would not have had to sink $60 billion and counting into Ukraine’s defense – to watch Russia “obliterate” the weapons Ukraine is sent – former President Donald Trump lamented Saturday night.

“Ukraine would have never happened under the Trump administration,” Trump told the young conservatives at the Turning Point Action Summit in Tampa, Florida. “Russia would have never done what they did – and they didn’t.”

Trump took another bow for his pressing NATO nations to contribute their fair share for their collective defense, to the tune of $430 billion, he said.

“We were being taken advantage of by Europe,” Trump said. “If you look at Ukraine now, we have so far given $60 billion to Ukraine. Well, the European countries, who are obviously more affected than us, have given a tiny fraction of that number.” (Read more from “Trump: Biden Sends $60B to Ukraine for Weapons to Be ‘Obliterated’ by Russia” HERE)

Jury Finds Bannon Guilty in Trial Over Contempt of Jan 6 Committee

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Post Millennial. Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon was found guilty by a DC court of contempt of Congress after defying a subpoena from the House’s January 6 committee.

Bannon had pleaded not guilty to the charges. He faces a minimum sentence of 30 days in jail. Sentencing will take place on October 21.

The committee had wanted documents from Bannon because he had been in contact with Trump while the events on the Capitol took place on that day.

Bannon had argued that the documents requested by the committee were under protection under former President Trump’s claims of executive privilege, as they were the subject of a pending court battle.

Steve Bannon’s Contempt Conviction Hailed by Jan. 6 Committee

By NBC News. . .David Schoen, one of Bannon’s lawyers said outside the courthouse the verdict would not stand. “This is round one,” Schoen said. “You will see this case reversed on appeal.”

Likewise, Bannon himself said, “We may have lost the battle here today; we’re not going to lose this war.”

He thanked the jurors for their service and said he had only one disappointment — “and that is the gutless members of that show trial committee, the J-6 committee didn’t have the guts to come down here and testify.”

Prosecutors were just as firm on the other side of the verdict: “The subpoena to Stephen Bannon was not an invitation that could be rejected or ignored,” Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney in Washington, said in a statement. “Mr. Bannon had an obligation to appear before the House Select Committee to give testimony and provide documents. His refusal to do so was deliberate, and now a jury has found that he must pay the consequences.” (Read more from “Steve Bannon’s Contempt Conviction Hailed by Jan. 6 Committee” HERE)
