'Brazen shamelessness': Disgraced Dem ex-gov burned for turning to Trump for campaign help

New York City's Democratic mayoral primary saw a major upset this summer, with democratic socialist state Rep. Zohran Mamdani clinching the nomination and thwarting the once-inevitable-seeming comeback of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Despite Cuomo's loss, he has vowed to stay in the race as an independent candidate for the general election. New reporting on Wednesday revealed that Cuomo — who wanted to jump back into politics after resigning over sexual misconduct allegations and a scandal about mismanaging COVID-19 in nursing homes — has spoken to President Donald Trump, who has also been briefed by pro-Cuomo super PAC strategists and is weighing whether to endorse him as an intervention against Mamdani.

'Logistical nightmare' awaits Trump if his tariff promises fall apart: report

Donald Trump has staked a great part of his second shot at making America great again on promises that his tariff war will flood the U.S. Treasury with money and ease American consumers' suffering.

That could all fall apart if a federal appeals court and then the Supreme Court rule that he has usurped authority from Congress. The government would then have to refund affected parties, something that would be hard to unwind.

Legal expert blows hole in DOJ's reason for transferring ​Ghislaine Maxwell

Addressing the controversial decision to move convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell from a prison in Florida to a low-security facility in Texas, MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin claimed it made no sense for a variety reasons, including the safety of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's partner in crime.

Speaking with host Anna Cabrera on Wednesday morning, Rubin noted that one of the stated reasons by the Bureau of Prisons for the transfer was to protect Maxwell was for her security due to threats on her life.

She then pointed out that, at the new facility, Maxwell is at more risk.

"To the extent that somebody has what's called a sex offense public safety factor on their record, they are not supposed to be eligible to be in any low security facility, I'm sorry, a minimum security facility, the facility that she was in before, is a low security facility, " Rubin began. "That is the sort of least level that anybody with that sex offense characteristic can be in."

"Now, it can be waived by a high-ranking official at the Bureau of Prisons, but MSNBC has reported on this, we have asked the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice: explain to us how Ghislaine Maxwell got this waiver," she elaborated. "We have been referred in very general senses to the program statement that I just quoted back to you, the same one that says, if you have a public safety factor of having been a sex offender, you are not eligible to be in a prison camp absent a waiver."

"There are lots of open questions about why Ghislaine Maxwell is there," she continued. "And to the extent that the explanation is for her own safety, I will just note this a prison camp is a camp without a perimeter that we traditionally associate with a prison, right? It doesn't have fences or walls; you can get so close, as one paparazzo did, to take pictures of [convicted Theranos founder] Elizabeth Holmes, who is also there, working out with weights."

"If one random person with a camera can get that close to Elizabeth Holmes and Ghislaine Maxwell is apparently in danger, what does it say about the fact that they've chosen to put her there, as opposed to in a low-security prison?" she asked.
