Jonathan Karl, chief Washington correspondent and co-anchor of This Week for ABC News, is also the author of four books on Donald Trump and his seismic impact on American politics.

First, Front Row at the Trump Show covered the first Trump presidency from a viewpoint built on Karl’s experience of reporting on Trump before he entered politics, in his years as a New York businessman and gossip column staple.

Next, Betrayal and Tired of Winning dealt with Trump’s defeat in 2020, his incitement of the January 6 insurrection, and criminal and civil court cases which seemed set to knock him out of public life, even send him to prison....

From the beloved children’s show “Bluey” to the blockbuster “Harry Potter” films, directors and producers have warned that President Donald Trump’s proposed 100 percent tariff on movies made in “foreign lands” would damage the U.S. entertainment industry’s ability to produce hit shows.

“When he came out and said this I don't think he really thought it through, but surprise, surprise, that would not be the first,” Pete said. “Honestly, I think nobody should really pay this much mind … that’s the most ridiculous s-–t I’ve ever heard.”...

Washington (AFP) - It ought to have been appointment TV as Stormy Daniels served up salacious details of her alleged tryst with Donald Trump in the sensational first-ever prosecution of a former president.

Israeli lawmakers voted in favour of the legislation on Monday in the second and third readings. Under the law, Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi can order the closure of a television broadcaster, the confiscation of broadcasting equipment, the removal of the broadcaster from cable and satellite television provi......

Los Angeles (AFP) - With new owners, a change of TV network and a radically overhauled membership, the Golden Globes will hope for a clean break from years of notoriety as they unveil nominations on Monday for this year's best in film and television. But even as the scandal-wracked show seeks to reclaim its position as the fun, rowdy and celebrity-packed kickstarter to Hollywood's movie awards season, critics warn that its reforms could bring a new batch of ethical problems. For decades, the Globes were owned, run and voted for by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) -- an eclectic g......

Los Angeles (AFP) - "Friends" actors Matt LeBlanc and Courteney Cox paid emotional personal tributes to their late costar Matthew Perry on Tuesday, some two weeks after his shock death.

"The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life," wrote LeBlanc, who played Perry's roommate and best friend on the show. He shared on Instagram multiple screenshots of "Friends" scenes featuring the pair......
