Trump News

Political analysts and observers were outraged on Thursday after a nonprofit newsroom published an explosive report about one of President Donald Trump's allies.

The Florida Bulldog published a copy of the House Ethics Committee's final report concerning its investigation into allegations that former Rep. Matt Gaetz sex trafficked minors. Gaetz was never formally charged by the Department of Justice in the case, although one close associate, Joel Greenberg, pled guilty to sex trafficking charges and was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Greenberg also worked with House investigators during their probe, according to reports.

A CNN reporter revealed on Thursday that the vice president's speech in Minneapolis "didn't do a damn thing" to calm tensions in the city after a high-profile killing by an immigration officer.

Sara Sidner, CNN's senior national correspondent, reported on Vice President JD Vance's speech from Minneapolis, where he spoke to the community as he was surrounded by police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. The speech happened at a time when tensions are high in Minneapolis after ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother who was leaving the scene of an ICE raid in her car.

President Donald Trump called for former special counsel Jack Smith to be prosecuted just minutes after he told a House committee that there was evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to convict the commander-in-chief.

During a Judiciary Committee hearing, Smith said Trump "was charged because the evidence established that he willfully broke the law, the very laws he took an oath to uphold." Under Smith, the president was charged with attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election and with mishandling classified documents. The charges were later dropped.

Former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone responded with profanity after Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) suggested that the Jan. 6 Committee's initial investigation was political.

During a Thursday hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, Nehls told former special counsel Jack Smith that his "witch hunt" against President Donald Trump had been "politically motivated."

The White House used its social media presence to share at least one image of an alleged anti-ICE protester, which was altered by artificial intelligence.

In an announcement on Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed that the DOJ "arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota."

As the leadership of the Washington Post hobnobbed with the elite at the World Economic Forum in Davos, there is panic within the newsroom over looming cuts and owner Jeff Bezos' disappearing acts as troubles mount at the venerable paper.

According to Status reporter Natalie Korach, there is an "erosion of morale" at the Post where things have deteriorated significantly during Chief Executive and Publisher Will Lewis's two-year tenure. Lewis has struggled to address declining newsroom morale and readership, prompting looming and devastating organizational restructuring to reduce staff.

President Donald Trump called for criminal charges to be filed against pollsters who find results he doesn't like after a new survey found his reputation spinning into freefall.

The New York Times released polling data Thursday showing fewer than one-third of voters believe the country is better off since Trump's return to office a year ago, while majorities disapprove of his handling of the economy, immigration and other issues, and 57 percent believe he's prioritizing the wrong issues.

Attorney General Pam Bondi was reportedly "enraged" after a Minnesota federal magistrate judge refused to sign off on charging Don Lemon.

"The Attorney General is enraged at the magistrate judge's decision, a source told CNN.
