Push Notification

Attorneys for CBS News are pushing back on former President Donald Trump's legal threats to the network over Vice President Kamala Harris' interview, CNN reported Wednesday.

A former model became the latest woman to accuse former President Donald Trump of sex abuse, according to a report.

Stacey Williams, who worked as a model in the 1990s, told The Guardian she was introduced to Trump in 1992 by Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire financier and convicted sex offender who gained notoriety for his sex crimes and who killed himself in prison. She and Epstein were casually dating at the time.

Calling retired Marine General John Kelly “dumb” and a "lowlife,” Donald Trump on Wednesday unleashed a social media tirade aimed at his former chief of staff, who in a series of articles this week revealed startling details of the former president’s inner thoughts – which Trump blamed on "pure Trump Derangement Syndrome Hatred."

“Thank you for your support against a total degenerate named John Kelly, who made up a story out of pure Trump Derangement Syndrome Hatred! This guy had two qualities, which don’t work well together. He was tough and dumb. The problem is his toughness morphed into weakness, because he became JELLO with time!" Trump wrote in a post Wednesday afternoon.

A retired lieutenant general tore into Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) in an article for the local Island News, calling her a "danger to national security."

Mace, a fervent supporter of former President Donald Trump, has a history of bizarre behavior, including wearing a Scarlet Letter shirt in response to criticism from her party about voting to remove Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker, and claiming that Black people who take offense at her deliberate mispronunciation of "Kamala Harris" don't respect women. Maces' former staffers have described her as mentally unstable and obsessed with getting airtime on TV.

Conspiracy theories about hacked voting machines promoted by former President Donald Trump's closest allies after the 2020 election are being revived – but this time the Trump campaign “appears to be largely acting behind the scenes,” according to reports.

Despite past far-fetched claims of hacked election machines being widely debunked – including by a series of judges who dismissed election-related cases brought by the Trump campaign – those closest to Trump are again rolling out the theories “as part of a late-campaign strategy to assert that this year’s election is rigged,” according to The New York Times.

Chris LaCivita, Donald Trump’s current campaign co-manager, reposted statements on social media condemning the violent and deadly January 6, 2021 insurrection and attack on the U.S. Capitol—and blaming Donald Trump for that day’s violence.

“On January 6, 2021, LaCivita reposted several posts that harshly condemned Trump, suggesting that even some of his closest allies once viewed the deadly outcome as a direct result of Trump’s lies,” CNN‘s Andrew Kaczynski reports.

A 9-year-old Black child almost died by suicide after police used excessive force against him, his mother asserts in a new lawsuit against D.C. police.

Niko Estep, who was tragically shot and killed last November in an unrelated gun violence incident, was thrown to the ground and handcuffed by police in 2019, in an incident that was caught on video and prompted prosecutors in Washington, D.C. to issue new guidelines banning such use of force against children under 12, according to The Washington Post. The incident came after Estep allegedly made a "disrespectful comment" and ran away from an officer who reprimanded him for leaning against a parked car.

A former campaign official for George W. Bush said that while Gen. John Kelly's comments about Donald Trump won't likely impact vote turnout, they could suppress conservatives in states with tight races.

A bombshell interview with Kelly posted Tuesday included audio of Kelly speaking in his own words about his disgust of Trump. The report came mere hours after another story from The Atlantic reported shocking details about Trump's reneging on a promise to cover funeral costs for the family of a slain Army private.

A federal judge frustrated by the legal wrangling over a House probe into Hunter Biden's finances got GOP investigators and Justice Department attorneys to agree to punt the dispute until next year.

The deal was agreed to after a tense, two-hour hearing Wednesday, Politico reported, where U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes threatened attorneys on both sides that she would order their bosses — Attorney General Merrick Garland and House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) — to litigate the dispute next week in her Washington courtroom themselves.

Former President Donald Trump's campaign issued a furious statement attacking Vice President Kamala Harris over her press conference on Wednesday.

A far-right group is not just content with identifying politicians to vote out of office: It's now aiming its sights on career federal employees.

The American Accountability Foundation — which is one of the 100 partner organizations in the Heritage Foundation's controversial Project 2025 initiative — has recently launched a website called the "DHS Watchlist," in which it posted the names, headshots and biographical information of 10 government employees working in the Department of Homeland Security in President Joe Biden's administration.

An MSNBC host noted Wednesday that Republicans' response to Gen. John Kelly coming out publicly against Donald Trump has been to destroy the man and his reputation.

At the top of her Wednesday show, Nicolle Wallace pointed out: "The pushback to those three interviews, and the reporting of them, from Donald Trump and his campaign has been intense, has been personal, and it has been nasty."
