Manhattan DA Opens Grand Jury Inquiry On Stormy Daniels Hush Money – Live Trump News

Donald Trump got on the campaign trail Saturday for the first time since announcing his 2024 White House nomination.

At an event in New Hampshire before leaving for South Carolina, he said, “I’m angrier and more committed now than I’ve ever been before”.

At Columbia, the former president railed against transgender rights and the teaching of critical race theories, a once-obscure academic concept that has led to protests from school administrators and classroom bans in some states.

“We’re going to stop the left-wing radical racists and perverts trying to indoctrinate our youth, and we’re going to take their Marxist hands off our kids,” Trump said.

“We are going to defeat the cult of gender ideology and reaffirm that God created two genders: men and women. We are not going to allow men to play women’s sports.”

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy says he looks forward to talking to President Joe Biden about a “reasonable and responsible way we can lift the debt ceiling” when the two meet Wednesday for their first meeting at the White House since Mr. McCarthy was elected. to the mail.

Mr McCarthy said he wants to tackle austerity along with raising the debt limit, even though the White House has ruled out linking the two issues as the government tries to avoid a potentially devastating financial bankruptcy.

The speaker promised that cuts to Social Security and Medicare would be off the table.

“I know the president said he didn’t want to have a discussion (about budget cuts), but I think it’s very important that our entire government is designed to compromise,” McCarthy told UKTN’ “Face the Nation.”

“I want to sit down together, work out an agreement so we can move forward to put us on a path to balance while not putting any of our debt at risk.”

Nancy Mace is one of the most interesting members of the Republican Party in the House.

After surviving a Trump-backed challenge to her re-election last year, the South Carolina representative returns to Washington as one of the party’s most outspoken members on gender issues and even its embrace of far-right conspiracies.

She sat down with The Independents Erik Garcia for an exclusive interview about her style of politics and new home in the slim majority of the GOP.

NBC’s Chuck Todd struck up a conversation with Rep. Jim Jordan over the weekend when the Ohio Republican stopped by the Meet the Press studio to discuss the federal government’s responses to Donald Trump and Joe Biden’s holding of classified material, respectively, in their residences and, in Mr. Biden’s case, a DC-based think tank.

The new House Judiciary Committee chairman urged Mr. Todd that there was a difference in the way the two men were being treated – unfairly – thanks to what he claimed was an alleged politicization of the Justice Department.

But Todd wasn’t into it, saying the two situations weren’t comparable because the former president had failed to comply with a Justice Department subpoena for the classified materials.

Watch their exchange below:

Donald Trump gave an unsolicited review of the UKTN News show The five in which he labeled co-host Jessica Tarlov as “absolutely awful” and called her voice “raspy and unbearable”.

A former Democratic pollster, Tarlov is one of the liberal voices on the show and was named co-host in 2021.

“I really love The Five on UKTN News, especially the hosts, with the exception of crazy Jessica Tarlov, who is absolutely awful,” the one-term president wrote on his Truth Social platform.

“Her facts are knowingly wrong, her twitchy presentation is atrocious and, forgive me, her VOICE is grating and unbearable.”

Donald Trump has responded to news that Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg has assembled a grand jury as he considers indicting Mr Trump over the 2016 silent payment to adult movie star Stormy Daniels.

He fired back with one of his signature Truth Social diatribes, writing, “With homicides and violent crime surfacing like never before in New York City, the radical left Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, just leaked to the Fake News Media that they are still going after the stormy “Horseface” Daniels Bull….!”

“Working closely with the Weaponized Justice Department, this is a continuation of the greatest witch hunt of all time,” he added. “They missed the statute of limitations a long time ago, and I recently won big money against “Stormy” in the 9th circuit – NEVER HAD A CASE. This is old news!”

Arizona Republicans chose former state treasurer and Donald Trump aide Jeff DeWit as the party’s next chairman.

DeWit replaces fiery Trump ally Kelli Ward, who aided the former president in his efforts to reverse his 2020 election loss and has been an outspoken advocate of his false claim that the election results were fraudulent.

She broke with precedent in last year’s primary and openly promoted a string of election deniers who lost the November general election.

“I’m going to work for you and we’re going to unite,” Mr. DeWit said after his victory. “And we’re going back to beating the Democrats and winning elections.”

As Joe Biden pondered his next move in 2017 after decades in government, he considered a familiar path: creating a Washington-based think tank that would focus on international affairs and diplomacy. It turned out to be easy to sell and also lucrative.

Soft landings in the capital are common for officials with resumes like Mr. Biden’s, and the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement was born, with an expansive view of the Capitol.

The former vice president brought trusted personnel and boxes of files. Now a small batch of those files are at the center of the controversy, as some were classified documents that Mr Biden had no right to keep.

Donald Trump has claimed he would resolve the war in Ukraine “in 24 hours” and build an “impenetrable dome” over the US to protect against missile strikes, in a new video posted to social media.

“World War III would be a catastrophe like no other. This would make World War I and World War II look like very small battles,” he said, adding that countries used the word “nuclear” because they have “no respect” for US leadership.

Former President Donald Trump flooded the Internal Revenue Service with a barrage of Freedom of Information Act information requests designed to shed light on any internal deliberations officials were having as they considered turning over his tax records to the House Ways and Means Committee.

The former president claimed he was audited by the agency for years and resisted calls for his financial records to be made public until the alleged audit was completed. It never did.
