A jury in Wisconsin has convicted a man of trying to frame an undocumented immigrant for attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, so he couldn't testify at his trial.

According to the Associated Press, "online court records show the Milwaukee County jury found 52-year-old Demetric Scott guilty of felony identity theft and witness intimidation after deliberating for most of the day. He represented himself during the three-day trial and was immediately taken into custody after the verdicts were read, leaving no way to reach him for comment on Thursday evening."

Political analysts and observers panned President Donald Trump's latest attempt at regime change on Thursday.

Trump quietly signed an executive order imposing tariffs on countries supplying oil to Cuba, a move that some analysts saw as a way to try to economically cripple the Cuban regime. The order was signed at a time when Trump is seeking to impose his influence on other countries like Venezuela, where he captured dictator Nicolás Maduro and brought him to the U.S. to stand trial on narco-terrorism charges, and Iran, which was on the receiving end of a vicious bombing campaign late last year.

President Donald Trump sued the IRS on Thursday for a whopping $10 billion, according to a new report.

The lawsuit claims the agency failed to prevent the president's tax returns from being leaked during his first administration, NBC News reported.

President Donald Trump's Small Business Administration chief, Kelly Loeffler, heaped praise on him during this week's Cabinet meeting — but she made a particularly outlandish economic claim that had experts doing a double-take.

"The $18 trillion you brought is creating an economic boom," Loeffler said. "We will have 7 percent GDP growth. It’s probably being underestimated right now."

Acclaimed author and essayist Ta-Nehisi Coates claimed Thursday that President Donald Trump is building a "white supremacist army" inside the U.S. government that will last long after he's gone.

Coates joined former GOP operative Tim Miller on "The Bulwark Podcast" to discuss the Trump administration and propaganda. During the discussion, the two discussed a "reality shift" with Trump's Department of Homeland Security, which has come under enormous criticism for the killings of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

President Donald Trump appeared to throw his border czar under the bus on the black carpet of the first lady's documentary premiere at the Kennedy Center on Thursday.

Chaos struck at an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement student protest at a school in Fremont, Nebraska, when an SUV with a Trump flag attached to it struck a girl participating in the demonstration.

According to News Channel Nebraska, "Dozens of students were part of the protest and were holding signs and chanting. A boy, who appeared to be high-school aged, parked his SUV with the flag in front of the school, got out of the vehicle and exchanged words with the protesters. He then got back into the SUV, revved the engine and drove forward. A girl, who appears to be a student, was standing several feet in front of the vehicle, facing it and holding a sign toward the car. The driver accelerated and hit the protester, casting her to the side."

It seems as though the first lady's big movie premiere will go off with a couple of notable absences, according to a new report.

The documentary "Melania" will debut at the Kennedy Center on Thursday night, an event expected to draw a crowd of officials from President Donald Trump's administration, Hollywood stars, and business moguls. Amazon, which is owned by Trump ally Jeff Bezos, paid roughly $40 million to license the film, and the first lady reportedly pocketed a substantial chunk of that total herself.

In a furious Thursday post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump once again escalated tensions with Canada, this time announcing retaliatory measures over what he claims is the country's refusal to certify American-made Gulfstream jets.

A MAGA Senator baffled political analysts and observers on Thursday during an interview on the right-wing TV network Newsmax.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) claimed during an interview that President Donald Trump was justified in raiding the Fulton County Election Hub and Operations Center on Wednesday because he was "cheated" during the 2020 general election. Trump has consistently claimed that he won Georgia during the 2020 election, even though a recount and multiple courts have certified that former President Joe Biden won the state.

President Donald Trump has frequently brought up the specter of China in his threats to annex Greenland away from the Kingdom of Denmark, saying that if the United States does not secure the island, it could be used strategically by the Chinese Communist Party.

But in a twist of irony, China itself was hoping to use Trump's obsession with Greenland to weaken the NATO alliance and bring itself closer to Europe, according to diplomatic cables obtained by Politico.

A GOP strategist slammed President Donald Trump's latest scheme related to the 2020 election results in Georgia during a CNN interview on Thursday.

The operation has alarmed local officials and national election rights advocates. A Fulton County commissioner described the raid as "an attack" on the right to vote.
