When President Donald Trump gives a televised address Thursday night in which he is expected to claim that the Chinese government interfered in the 2020 election, CIA Director John Ratcliffe is expected to be standing at his side.

Details of the speech teased to major news outlets include some variation on shopworn claims that election deniers have long promoted about supposed manipulation of voting machines and foreign meddling, with CBS News citing unnamed “sources familiar with the matter” as saying the speech will “touch on previously unreported alleged Chinese meddling in U.S. elections,” including that “Beijing compromised U.S. voter data.”

These extraordinary claims lay at the heart of a feverish effort by Trump’s allies to overturn the 2020 election, and addressing such findings would have fallen directly under the responsibility of Ratcliffe, who was then serving as director of national intelligence....

Former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA) tore into FBI Director Kash Patel's testimony to the Senate on MS NOW as it unfolded on Tuesday afternoon.

"It is really difficult watching these hearings because it feels like the lawmakers are living in two separate realities," said anchor Katy Tur. "There's the one where Kash Patel is a man facing all of these very serious allegations about his competence. There's the one where we are witnessing politically-motivated investigations into Donald Trump's perceived enemies. And there's the one on the other side where the FBI has never been doing a better job, never been more effective, and is cleaning up the political mess that past administrations have made. It's really confounding."

Riggleman, who previously advised the January 6 Select Committee, agreed — and had a few thoughts of his own....

A former GOP lawmaker became incensed on Sunday while discussing President Donald Trump's latest "vile" fundraising campaign.

Over the weekend, Trump sent a fundraising email to his supporters that included a photo of him in a white USA hat from the dignified transfer of the fallen soldiers who died during Iran's retaliatory attack on the U.S. embassy in Kuwait. Denver Riggleman, a former Republican lawmaker, told MS NOW's Alex Witt on Sunday that the photo of Trump at the event was "vile" because he was using the deaths of American soldiers to raise money for his political campaign.

Riggleman said the email made him "angry on a level that's very difficult ... to contain."...

FBI Director Kash Patel didn't win any new fans inside the bureau after his testimony on Capitol Hill, according to MS NOW's Ken Dilanian.

The FBI director faced tough questions from Democratic lawmakers during a Justice Department budget hearing about his alleged drinking and his investigations of President Donald Trump's political enemies, and Dilanian told "Ana Cabrera Reports" that Patel enjoys little support from the bureau's rank-and-file employees.

"Well, look, I'm sure there are currently serving FBI agents who are big fans of Kash Patel, but I just haven't met any of them," Dilanian said. "The people I talked to are largely disgusted with the way he conducts himself, and really, that's in keeping with the way a lot of Trump senior cabinet officials handle these congressional hearings. He came armed with opposition research."...

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) proudly announced on Monday that he is introducing legislation to allow President Donald Trump to seize control of Greenland — as the president's increasingly obsessive calls for the island to be purchased or annexed away from Denmark alarms both international actors and key figures in both parties.

"Huge News! Today, I am proud to introduce the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act, a bill that allows the President to find the means necessary to bring Greenland into the Union," wrote Fine on X. "Let me be clear, our adversaries are trying to establish a foothold in the Arctic, and we can’t let that happen. By acquiring Greenland, we would prevent our adversaries from controlling the Arctic Region and secure our northern flank from Russia and China."

Fine accompanied this with a picture of himself standing in front of a Greenlandic village with a copy of the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas erected next to it....

Even the most "die-hard" MAGA supporter is now confident Donald Trump has strong connections with Jeffrey Epstein, according to a former GOP lawmaker.

Former "Tea Party" Republican Rep. Denver Riggleman (VA), a Trump-skeptic Republican who helped assist the House Select Committee on January 6 with its investigation into the president's actions, has previously sounded the alarm about purportedly dangerous Republicans rising to power.

On Saturday, he appeared on MS NOW, where he was asked about the latest devastating leak of Trump-Epstein photographs....
