Former Marine General John Kelly, who also served as Donald Trump’s longest-running chief of staff, blasted his old boss in interviews with the New York Times, spurred by the former president’s recent threats to use the military on the “enemy from within.”

“I think this issue of using the military on — to go after — American citizens is one of those things I think is a very, very bad thing — even to say it for political purposes to get elected — I think it’s a very, very bad thing, let alone actually doing it,” Kelly told the Times in the wide-ranging interview that hit on topics from Trump’s “lack of understanding of history and the Constitution” — to his speaking "positively of Hitler."

"Lock her up" chants that became popular at former President Donald Trump's campaign rallies in 2016 got flipped around Tuesday by President Joe Biden, who told campaign workers in New Hampshire on Tuesday, "We’ve got to lock him up" then added after a brief pause, "politically."

Biden warned the workers that democracy is on the ballot this year and to think about what the country will look like if Trump wins.

Former Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera opened up to MSNBC's Ari Melber on Tuesday about the thought process that caused him to break from former President Donald Trump, whom he has known for years, to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.

Rivera made this endorsement in a lengthy post to X earlier this month, calling Trump a "sore loser" who was a threat to the Constitution. Asked about this by Melber, he delved deeper.

A former aide to Donald Trump downplayed the significance of an explosive new report in The Atlantic that the former president said he needed the "kind of generals that [Adolf] Hitler had."

Trump's one-time chief of staff retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, who also served as Trump's Homeland Security secretary and a critic of the former president since leaving the administration, told The Atlantic that "when Trump raised the subject of 'German generals,' Kelly responded by asking, '‘Do you mean Bismarck’s generals?’' He went on: 'I mean, I knew he didn’t know who Bismarck was, or about the Franco-Prussian War. I said, ‘Do you mean the Kaiser’s generals? Surely you can’t mean Hitler’s generals? And he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals.’ I explained to him that [Erwin] Rommel had to commit suicide after taking part in a plot against Hitler.' Kelly told me Trump was not acquainted with Rommel."

The federal judge who tossed Donald Trump’s classified documents case as the Republican National Convention kicked off this summer could potentially be tapped to be the country’s next top law enforcement official, according to a report.

Aileen Cannon, who the former president nominated in 2020 as a U.S. district judge for the Southern District of Florida, was among nearly a dozen names floated around Trump’s campaign and transition operation as a possible candidate for attorney general, ABC News reported, citing sources familiar with the discussions.

At the close of a Latino Americans for Trump town hall at Donald Trump’s Miami golf club on Tuesday, MAGA pastors, including one whose “messy” divorce led him to be labeled a “charlatan,” laid hands on the criminally convicted ex-president, described the election as a “war between good and evil,” fervently prayed for God to return Trump to the White House, and asked Him to “Make America Godly again.”

Trump’s return to embracing Christianity and invoking religion comes amid debunked reports, including from top Trump activist Charlie Kirk, that Vice President Kamala Harris last week kicked out “Christians” for shouting “Jesus is lord” at a recent campaign event.

Donald Trump's campaign is demanding an immediate investigation into reports that some 100 staffers linked to Britain’s Labour Party plan to hit the campaign trail to stump for Vice President Kamala Harris in swing states across the country.

In a legal complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission, Trump campaign deputy general counsel Gary Lawkowski wrote that they collected enough evidence to support the finding that “the British Labour Party made, and the Harris campaign accepted, illegal foreign national contributions.”

After decades of staying out of politics, billionaire Microsoft co-founder and global philanthropist Bill Gates is reportedly getting involved in the 2024 election — with a $50 million contribution to the effort to elect Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to The New York Times, Gates, who is typically withdrawn and secretive about his politics and has not made a public endorsement in the election, meant for the contribution to be kept out of the public eye, contributing the funds to a so-called "dark money" political nonprofit, Future Forward USA Action.

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) was on hand Tuesday to discuss a bombshell report from The Atlantic about Donald Trump reneging on his promise to pay for a murdered soldier's funeral.

The world was shocked by the 2020 report about Army private Vanessa Guillén by another soldier, Aaron David Robinson, who bludgeoned her to death and then hid her dismembered, burned remains on the Fort Hood base. It was two months before they were discovered.

Yelp temporarily disabled new reviewers from posting comments until it probes a spike of “unusual reviews” at the Pennsylvania McDonald’s where Donald Trump worked the fry baskets and drive-through window.

The “unusual activity alert” was issued days after the former president held a photo-op at the fast food restaurant in Feasterville, closing down normal operations for hours, and prompting a flood of Yelp reviews which, as NBC News reported, "varied in content, jest and vulgarity, with some criticizing the franchise owner for hosting the Trump campaign."

Florida's attorney general doubled down on the state's right to threaten television stations with criminal prosecution for airing ads in favor of a constitutional referendum to restore abortion rights.

In a new filing in Floridians Protecting Freedom v. Ladapo, Republican Ashley Moody told a federal district court in Tallahassee that the First Amendment does not protect the right to broadcast "false" claims about the state's near-total ban on elective abortion procedures, which kicks in at six weeks of gestation — before most women even know they're pregnant.

Former President Donald Trump offered to cover funeral costs for a soldier who died at Ft. Hood — then furiously backed out when the family sent a $60,000 bill to the White House, according to a bombshell report published Tuesday in The Atlantic.

Among claims made in the report was that Trump volunteered to pay for the funeral of Vanessa Guillén, a 20-year-old Army private who was beaten to death and burned by a fellow soldier.

Former President Donald Trump's one-time chief of staff retired Marine Gen. John Kelly told The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg more details about the infamous exchange in which he demanded Kelly act more like the generals for Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

Kelly, who also served as Trump's Homeland Security secretary and has become increasingly outspoken against the former president since leaving the administration, has previously revealed Trump's obsession with Hitler.
