Reporters spotted emergency medical staff heading into McConnell's office following the incident.

Accused CEO shooter Luigi Mangione had a meltdown outside a Pennsylvania courthouse Tuesday, yelling at reporters before cops wrestled him inside.

He yelled what sounded like, “It’s completely unjust!” as he was being taken from a police cruiser for his first court hearing after being charged with murder.

U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell warned former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani that he could be sent to prison after he allegedly repeated lies claiming that two former Georgia election workers conspired against Donald Trump's White House run in 2020.

In an order issued on Monday, Howell granted Giuliani a 30-day extension, allowing him to explain why he should not be held in contempt for continuing to defame Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ArShaye "Shaye" Moss. Giuliani had agreed not to repeat lies about the two former election workers after they won a $148 million defamation judgment against him.

Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, lashed out at President-elect Donald Trump's former Department of Justice for obtaining records of lawmakers, staffers and journalists during an investigation of leaks.

In a report released Tuesday, the Justice Department's inspector general said the DOJ targeted two lawmakers and 43 staffers in an effort to unearth leaks to journalists. Records of Trump's pick to be the next FBI director, Kash Patel, were obtained as a part of the investigation. Patel was serving as a House staffer at the time.

Conservative National Review analyst Ramesh Ponnuru urged fellow right-wing activists to push back hard on a key, controversial nominee for President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet in an article for The Washington Post published on Tuesday.

Specifically, Ponnuru demanded that the GOP "start a fight" over Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services — not because he is an avowed conspiracy theorist against vaccination, water fluoridation and 5G cell phone service who rejects the expertise of broad swathes of the scientific and medical communities, but because he's a former lifelong Democrat who is out of step with the GOP's views against abortion rights.

Donald Trump again joked about making Canada an American state in a late-night post needling its Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after he cautioned against tariffs.

Trudeau traveled to Mar-a-Lago late last month for a dinner meeting with the president-elect to discuss the proposed charges on international imports. Trump revived a joke early Tuesday on Truth Social that sources claimed had "caused the prime minister and others to laugh nervously" after the meeting.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) says a woman in Georgia was killed on Monday in a car accident involving a police officer who was responding to a bomb threat at her home.

The Rome Police Department bomb squad responded to Greene’s home following a threat that her office later said in a statement was “traced to a Russian IP address.” The crash was confirmed by police, who said the officer was not critically injured, according to Atlanta news station WXIA-TV.

America got a slap on the wrist from the Pennsylvania governor Monday evening as authorities announced the arrest of Luigi Mangione on forgery and gun charges stemming from the killing in Manhattan of a health insurance CEO.

Gov. Josh Shapiro on Monday afternoon vowed that "justice will be delivered" in the shooting death of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, who was slain last week outside a hotel. He had been in New York for an annual UnitedHealthcare investors meeting and the shooter fled on a bicycle.

Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said Monday she was targeted with a pipe bomb threat that prompted a response from local law enforcement.

"The Rome Police Department's Assistant Chief of Police received an email containing a bomb threat directed towards me," wrote Greene in a statement on X. "The source of the email has been traced to a Russian IP address. Due to the international nature and severity of this threat, my office is collaborating closely with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI, to ensure the perpetrator is brought to justice."

CNN reported on Monday that the suspected shooter of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson had two pages of writing with him upon arrest.

Luigi Mangione was taken into custody at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania. CNN quoted law enforcement sources as saying a document seized off of him reads, "These parasites had it coming."

Fox News hosts Sandra Smith and Jeanine Pirro criticized Republican state Delegate Nino Mangione of Maryland after his cousin, Luigi Mangione, was arrested for the murder of CEO executive Brian Thompson.

"Another twist in this story, this just into our newsroom, the suspect's cousin is a Maryland State Delegate," Smith reported Monday. "So this is now being confirmed, the suspect's cousin is a Maryland State Delegate, Antonio D. Mangione, goes by Nino."

A man being held in connection to the Manhattan shooting of a health insurance executive reportedly had a manifesto claiming violence was the answer to problems with the health care industry.

The New York Times reported Monday that Luigi Mangione, 26, was being held in Pennsylvania in connection to the shooting of Brian Thompson.
