    Trump-endorsed Feenstra Concedes To MAHA-backed Lahn In Primary Upset

    A Republican primary battle in Iowa just delivered a major surprise—and a setback for President Donald Trump’s endorsement power.

    According to Fox News, Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Iowa), who received Trump’s endorsement just days before Election Day, conceded Tuesday night after losing the GOP gubernatorial primary to political newcomer Zach Lahn.

    Lahn, a farmer and businessman backed by allies of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, ran on an “Iowa First” platform and overcame what many considered long odds to defeat one of the state’s most recognizable Republican figures.

    The upset is likely to fuel debate inside conservative circles about the growing influence of MAHA-aligned activists and outsider candidates within the Republican coalition.

    Feenstra entered the race with significant advantages. The congressman represented Iowa’s 4th District, enjoyed a fundraising edge, had support from prominent Iowa Republicans—including former Gov. Terry Branstad—and secured a late endorsement from Trump, who praised him as “MAGA all the way” and gave him his “Complete and Total Endorsement.”

    But it wasn’t enough.

    With 99% of votes counted, Lahn held roughly a 1,600-vote lead over Feenstra, according to The Associated Press election tracker cited by Fox News.

    Despite the loss, Feenstra quickly rallied behind his opponent.

    “I just called Zach Lahn, and said, ‘Hey, you got to carry this torch. We got to keep this state red. You got to make sure you beat Rob Sand.’ And I’m all in to help him out,” Feenstra told supporters on election night, according to video shared by Iowa News Now reporter Skylar Tallal and cited by Fox News.

    Lahn’s campaign received backing from MAHA Action, a political organization aligned with the Make America Healthy Again movement. He was also endorsed by the political arm of Turning Point USA, the influential conservative organization founded by the late Charlie Kirk.

    On his campaign website, Lahn describes himself as a father, farmer, and businessman committed to putting Iowa interests first.

    The race opened after Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds announced she would not seek another term, creating Iowa’s first open gubernatorial contest in two decades.

    Lahn now advances to a potentially competitive general election matchup against Democratic State Auditor Rob Sand, Iowa’s only Democratic statewide officeholder. Sand, who advanced through the Democratic primary unopposed, has built his reputation around government accountability and anti-corruption efforts.

    Political handicappers have already signaled that the race could be one of the most closely watched gubernatorial contests in the country. Fox News noted that the Cook Political Report recently shifted the race from “Lean Republican” to “Toss Up,” while Inside Elections continues to rate it “Lean Republican.”

    Mike Lindell Taps Navy Intelligence Veteran Phillip Parrish As Running Mate In Minnesota Governor Bid

    MyPillow founder Mike Lindell has officially selected retired Navy intelligence officer Phillip Parrish as his running mate in Minnesota’s 2026 gubernatorial race, uniting two Republican candidates who have both built their campaigns around government accountability and exposing fraud.

    Lindell announced the decision Monday during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room and later confirmed the ticket on social media.

    “Just Officially Filed!” Lindell wrote on X alongside a photo of himself and Parrish. “The two best gubernatorial candidates are joining forces.”

    Parrish, who had been running his own campaign for governor, suspended that effort to join Lindell’s ticket as the Republican pair seek to challenge Democrat frontrunner Sen. Amy Klobuchar in November.

    The move brings together two outsiders in a race that political analysts currently rate as heavily favoring Democrats. The Cook Political Report recently shifted Minnesota’s gubernatorial contest from “Lean Democrat” to “Solid Democrat” following Klobuchar’s entry into the race.

    Former Navy Intelligence Officer and Fraud Whistleblower

    Parrish brings a background that differs sharply from the traditional political establishment.

    The Hill reports that retired Navy lieutenant commander, Parrish previously served as a counterterrorism and foreign policy specialist and says he spent more than a decade overseas tracking terrorist financing networks. He has also worked in education and currently serves as an administrator at a Catholic church and school.

    Parrish became widely known among Minnesota conservatives for his role as one of the state’s earliest whistleblowers on alleged fraud within Minnesota’s childcare assistance system.

    In a January interview with NewsNation, Parrish said he began documenting suspicious financial activity as early as 2016, claiming that hundreds of millions of dollars flowed through Minnesota programs before ultimately reaching al-Shabab-linked networks in Somalia.

    A former member of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, Parrish said his investigations traced money couriers from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport through the Netherlands and Kenya before reaching money exchanges in Mogadishu known as “hawalas.”

    Federal authorities have previously identified some hawala networks as conduits for terrorist financing. The U.S. Treasury Department designated certain Somali money-transfer operations as fronts for the al-Qaida-linked terrorist group al-Shabab in 2012.

    Lindell’s Outsider Campaign

    Lindell launched his gubernatorial campaign in December, pledging to tackle government fraud, crime, addiction, and homelessness while portraying himself as an outsider willing to challenge Minnesota’s political establishment.

    The longtime ally of President Donald Trump has built his campaign around allegations of government corruption and waste, themes that have become central to Minnesota politics following several high-profile fraud investigations involving state-funded programs.

    “I want you to know that I will stand for you as the next governor of the state of Minnesota,” Lindell said when he announced his candidacy at his MyPillow factory in Shakopee last year.

    The businessman has argued that Minnesota needs leadership willing to confront what he describes as widespread government failures under Democratic control.

    Challenging a Difficult Political Landscape

    Despite Lindell’s national profile, Republicans face an uphill battle in Minnesota.

    The GOP has not won a statewide election in Minnesota since 2006, and the Republican primary field remains crowded. Lindell continues his campaign despite not securing the Minnesota Republican Party’s endorsement at the state convention, where businessman Kendall Qualls emerged as the endorsed candidate after multiple rounds of voting.

    Minnesota’s filing deadline for governor and lieutenant governor candidates is June 2, with the Republican primary scheduled for August 11.

    Under Minnesota law, governor and lieutenant governor candidates run together as a single ticket in both the primary and general election.

    Meanwhile, Democrats have largely unified behind Klobuchar, who entered the race after Gov. Tim Walz announced he would not seek another term. Klobuchar has already secured the endorsement of the state’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and enters the race as the clear favorite.

    For Lindell and Parrish, the newly formed ticket represents an effort to combine Lindell’s national name recognition with Parrish’s national-security credentials and anti-fraud reputation as they attempt to pull off one of the biggest political upsets of the 2026 election cycle.

    Trump Endorses Congressman Missing From Washington For Nearly Three Months

    President Donald Trump on Monday threw his support behind Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ), even as the two-term congressman remains largely absent from Washington and the campaign trail amid an ongoing health-related disappearance that has fueled speculation across New Jersey’s most competitive House district.

    Ahead of Tuesday’s Republican primary in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, Trump issued a glowing endorsement of Kean, who is running unopposed for renomination despite not casting a vote in Congress since March 5.

    On Truth Social, Trump praised Kean as a “Great Representative” and a key ally in advancing the administration’s agenda.

    “A Tremendous Advocate of our America First Agenda, Tom is working tirelessly to Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Champion Small Business, Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Support our Brave Military and Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment,” Trump wrote.

    In offering his backing, Trump added: “GET OUT AND VOTE FOR TOM — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”

    The endorsement comes as Kean remains largely out of public view. The congressman has not appeared for votes in the House for nearly three months and has maintained only a limited public presence while recovering from what he has described as a serious but temporary medical condition.

    In late April, Kean acknowledged for the first time that he was dealing with a “personal medical issue,” though he declined to provide details about the illness.

    “My doctors continue to assure me that my recovery will be complete and that I will be back to the job I love very soon,” Kean said in a statement at the time. “I expect to return to a full schedule and be at 100 percent.”

    Questions about Kean’s absence have intensified in recent weeks as one of the nation’s most closely watched House races begins to take shape. While the congressman has remained out of the spotlight, his official congressional and campaign social media accounts have continued posting regularly, creating an unusual situation in which voters have heard from the congressman online but rarely seen him in person.

    Kean told the New Jersey Globe on May 21 that he expected to return to Washington and resume campaigning “in the next couple of weeks.”

    He also sought to reassure constituents about his long-term outlook.

    “My doctors are confident that I’m on the road to a full recovery,” Kean told the outlet. “I understand the need for public transparency, and I appreciate the support of my constituents.”

    Additional reassurance came from Kean’s father, former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean Sr., who told CNN in mid-May that his son is recovering from a serious but temporary illness.

    Despite his continued absence, Kean’s campaign has remained active. Following Trump’s endorsement Monday, Kean thanked the president in a post on X and encouraged New Jersey Republicans to participate in the primary.

    The timing is significant because New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District is expected to be one of the most competitive House battlegrounds in the country this year.

    While Kean faces no Republican opposition, four Democrats — Rebecca Bennett, Michael Roth, Tina Shah, and Brian Varela — are competing for the chance to challenge him in November.

    National Democrats view the district as one of their best pickup opportunities as they seek to regain control of the House. Republicans, meanwhile, are counting on Kean to defend a seat that could prove critical to preserving the GOP’s narrow majority.

    Kean first won the district in 2022, defeating Democrat Tom Malinowski by just 2.8 percentage points. He secured reelection in 2024 by a somewhat wider 5.4-point margin against Democrat Sue Altman.

    The Cook Political Report currently rates the race a “Toss Up,” placing it among just 18 House contests nationwide with that designation. Fourteen of those highly competitive seats are currently held by Republicans, underscoring the stakes for both parties heading into November.

    For now, Trump’s endorsement provides Kean with a high-profile show of support at a moment when many voters are still waiting for the congressman to fully reemerge from the months-long absence that has become one of the most closely watched political stories in New Jersey.

    Trump Reportedly Plans To Scrap Controversial Anti-Weaponization Fund

    President Donald Trump is expected to abandon his controversial $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund following mounting backlash from Republicans, according to a report from Axios’ Marc Caputo.

    An administration source told Axios that the fund is “dead for now.”

    The fund was announced by the Department of Justice last month after the Trump administration settled the president’s lawsuit against the IRS. According to a DOJ press release, the fund was intended to “provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare” and would have the authority to issue “formal apologies and monetary relief owed to claimants.”

    Critics quickly labeled the initiative a “slush fund” for Trump allies.

    Former Vice President Mike Pence called on Trump to eliminate the fund during an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press over the weekend.

    “Let’s get rid of this fund,” Pence said. “I mean, it’s deeply offensive to me that you could have a fund that could even possibly compensate people who assaulted police officers or vandalized the Capitol on January 6th.”

    According to Mediaite, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) discussed the fund with Trump at the White House on Monday as criticism intensified on Capitol Hill.

    The development comes after U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema ordered the Justice Department on Friday not to establish the fund while litigation surrounding the proposal remains ongoing.

    Prosecutor Suddenly Steps Aside In James Comey ‘86 47’ Threat Case As Trial Looms

      The federal prosecutor leading the Justice Department’s controversial criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey has abruptly stepped down, according to a new court filing — adding another twist to one of the most politically charged prosecutions of President Trump’s second term.

      A notice of substitution filed Friday in the Eastern District of North Carolina revealed that Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Severo will replace Matthew Petracca as counsel for the government.

      The filing, submitted by U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina Ellis Boyle, requested that Petracca be removed from the court docket but offered no explanation for the sudden change.

      The shakeup comes as Comey prepares to fight charges stemming from a social media post featuring seashells arranged to read “86 47” — a message prosecutors allege amounted to a threat against President Donald Trump, the 47th president of the United States.

      Comey faces two federal counts, including threatening the president and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison.

      The phrase “86” is commonly used in restaurants to mean removing or discontinuing an item. But Trump administration officials argue the number carries a darker meaning in criminal circles and law enforcement culture.

      “Threatening the life of the President of the United States is a grave violation of our nation’s laws,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in an April 28 statement announcing the indictment.

      “The grand jury returned an indictment alleging James Comey did just that, at a time when this country has witnessed violent incitement followed by deadly actions against President Trump and other elected officials,” Blanche added. “The temperature needs to be turned down, and anyone who dials it up and threatens the life of the President will be held accountable.”

      FBI Director Kash Patel was equally blunt.

      “James Comey disgracefully encouraged a threat on President Trump’s life and posted it on Instagram for the world to see,” Patel said. “As the former Director of the FBI, he knew full well the attention and consequences of making such a post. This FBI and our DOJ partners pursued a rigorous investigation that followed the facts – and now Mr. Comey will be held fully accountable for his actions.”

      Comey has vehemently denied that the image was intended as a threat, insisting he viewed the seashell arrangement as political expression rather than a call for violence.

      His legal team is expected to mount an aggressive First Amendment defense.

      “If Comey is charged for the shell picture, it would face a monumental challenge under the First Amendment,” constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley told Fox News shortly after the indictment. “In my view, the image itself is clearly protected speech. Absent some other unknown facts or elements, it would be unlikely to survive a threshold constitutional challenge.”

      The prosecution has reignited a years-long feud between Trump and Comey that dates back nearly a decade.

      Trump famously fired Comey as FBI director in May 2017 amid the bureau’s investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election. The dismissal triggered political shockwaves in Washington and ultimately helped lead to the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

      Since leaving office, Comey has emerged as one of Trump’s most outspoken critics, frequently warning that a second Trump administration could threaten democratic institutions and the rule of law. Trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly accused Comey of abusing the powers of the FBI and helping fuel what he calls the “Russia hoax.”

      The bad blood only intensified after Comey published a bestselling memoir sharply critical of the president and became a regular voice against Trump during the 2020 and 2024 election cycles.

      Now, the former FBI chief finds himself on the opposite side of the courtroom from the administration he once investigated.

      The case is being prosecuted in North Carolina, where authorities say the seashell photograph was taken.

      “No one is above the law in the Eastern District of North Carolina,” Boyle said after the indictment. “Our office regularly pursues threat cases including those against public officials. The Grand Jury examined the evidence in this case and found probable cause to indict Mr. Comey.”

      The trial is currently scheduled for October after U.S. District Judge Louise Wood Flanagan granted Comey’s request for additional time.

      Meanwhile, NBC News reported that Petracca has recently been removed from other criminal cases as well. According to sources cited by the outlet, the prosecutor considered leaving the Justice Department altogether before ultimately deciding to remain after taking a brief leave of absence.

      Neither Petracca nor the Justice Department has publicly explained the change.

      With an October showdown approaching and constitutional questions hanging over the case, the unusual prosecutor swap is likely to fuel further scrutiny of a prosecution already drawing intense political and legal attention.

      ‘Donald Trump’ Buffalo Spared From Slaughter After Government Steps In

      A shaggy-haired albino buffalo nicknamed “Donald Trump” was dramatically spared from slaughter in Bangladesh this week after the animal’s viral fame triggered public backlash — and even government security concerns.

      Just hours before the rare buffalo was set to be sacrificed during the Muslim festival Eid al-Adha, Bangladesh Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed stepped in to save the animal.

      Officials confirmed the buffalo has now been relocated to the national zoo in Dhaka.

      “The decision was made at the last moment … due to security concerns and the unusual level of public interest,” a ministry official said.

      The bizarre international saga started after locals noticed the buffalo’s striking resemblance to President Donald Trump — specifically its fluffy blond combover that sits atop its head like the commander-in-chief’s signature hairstyle.

      Photos and videos of the buffalo quickly exploded across social media, turning the animal into an unlikely celebrity in the city of Narayanganj and drawing crowds eager to snap selfies with the Trump lookalike.

      Farm owner Ziauddin Mridha said he originally bought the rare albino buffalo about 10 months ago and recently sold it to a buyer preparing for Eid sacrifices before authorities intervened.

      The government has reportedly ordered Mridha to refund the buyer.

      “My younger brother jokingly named it Donald Trump after seeing the hair on its head,” Mridha told NDTV. “It is very calm in nature. Albino buffaloes are generally peaceful and do not become aggressive unless provoked.”

      The internet, naturally, had a field day after news broke that “Donald Trump” had narrowly escaped death.

      “Even a buffalo named Donald Trump survives assassination attempts …” one user joked on X.

      “Life is really funny sometimes. At this point, the buffalo needs security and its own social media page,” another wrote.

      From a quiet farm animal to a globally recognized internet sensation, the buffalo formerly destined for sacrifice is now headed to zoo life — all thanks to a blond hairstyle that reminded the world of Trump.

      Trump Heads to Situation Room as Iran Deal Decision Appears Imminent

      President Trump signaled Friday that a final decision on a potential agreement with Iran could be just hours away, announcing he was heading to the White House Situation Room to make what he called a “final determination” on a proposed deal that would dramatically reshape U.S.-Iran relations.

      “I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination,” Trump wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post outlining the terms he says Iran must accept before any agreement moves forward.

      The president’s announcement immediately fueled speculation that a major breakthrough could be nearing after months of negotiations following the U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran earlier this year.

      Among Trump’s non-negotiable demands: Iran must permanently abandon any pursuit of nuclear weapons.

      “Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb,” Trump declared.

      Trump also outlined provisions that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to unrestricted international shipping, eliminate any remaining naval mines in the waterway, and potentially end the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports.

      “Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of ‘heading home!’” Trump wrote. “Say HELLO to your wives, husbands, parents, and families from me, your favorite President!”

      Perhaps the most striking element of Trump’s proposal involves Iran’s remaining stockpile of enriched uranium.

      According to the president, the United States would work alongside Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency to excavate and destroy what he described as enriched nuclear material buried beneath mountains damaged during U.S. B-2 bomber strikes nearly a year ago.

      “The enriched material, sometimes referred to as ‘Nuclear Dust,’ … will be unearthed by the United States … and DESTROYED,” Trump wrote, adding that only the U.S. and China possess the capability to carry out such an operation.

      As Fox News reported, it remains unclear whether the removal and destruction of Iran’s enriched uranium is formally included in the draft agreement currently under discussion. The White House confirmed Thursday that negotiations are ongoing, but details of the final arrangement remain unresolved.

      Iranian officials have responded cautiously. The semi-official Fars News Agency characterized Trump’s statements as a “mixture of truth and falsehood” intended to portray a “fabricated victory.”

      Meanwhile, Iranian parliamentary speaker and senior negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf emphasized Friday that Tehran remains skeptical of American assurances.

      “We do not trust guarantees and words, only actions are the criterion,” Qalibaf wrote on X.

      According to reporting from Fox News, the proposed framework would extend the current cease-fire for 60 days while allowing both sides to negotiate remaining disputes surrounding Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions relief, and regional security concerns.

      Iran has long maintained that its nuclear activities are intended solely for peaceful purposes. Trump, however, has repeatedly argued that any deal must go beyond previous agreements — including President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear accord — by permanently eliminating Iran’s ability to enrich uranium and preventing any future path to a nuclear weapon.

      The president also hinted that economic concessions could be addressed in later negotiations.

      “No money will be exchanged, until further notice,” Trump wrote.

      Trump’s decision to convene in the Situation Room — traditionally reserved for the nation’s most consequential military and national security deliberations — suggests the administration believes a pivotal moment in the negotiations has arrived.

      Whether the talks ultimately produce a historic diplomatic breakthrough or collapse at the finish line may soon be decided behind the secure doors of the White House’s most closely watched room.

      Judge Greenlights Trump Push to Tighten Mail-In Voting Rules

        A federal judge on Thursday refused to block President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting mail-in voting, handing Democrats an early defeat in a growing legal battle over election security and ballot access.

        According to The Hill, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols — a Trump appointee — ruled that Democrat groups and voting rights activists moved too soon in asking the court to stop the order before the federal government has actually implemented it.

        “Given that the Executive Order does not command Plaintiffs to do anything, and that no agency has yet acted pursuant to the Order in a way that could harm Plaintiffs, they have not suffered any harm at present,” Nichols wrote in his ruling.

        The executive order, signed by Trump on March 31, directs the Department of Homeland Security to create lists of adult U.S. citizens in every state. Under the order, the U.S. Postal Service would only deliver mail ballots to individuals appearing on those citizenship lists.

        Democrats and voting rights organizations argued the move could disenfranchise millions of voters and claimed Trump lacks constitutional authority to regulate federal elections through executive action.

        They also warned that the administration plans to rely on Social Security Administration data that may contain inaccuracies, potentially preventing eligible voters from receiving ballots.

        Nichols, however, said those concerns remain speculative for now because the administration has not yet finalized or implemented the system.

        “The Court recognizes that the Postal Service may ultimately issue a final rule that directly affects Plaintiffs or their members,” Nichols wrote, adding that Democrats could renew their request for an injunction later if the order begins causing specific harm.

        Trump has defended the executive order as a necessary step to enforce existing federal voting laws and strengthen election integrity.

        The order gives states and individuals opportunities to correct errors on the citizenship lists before federal elections, with updated data required to be sent to states within 60 days of Election Day.

        The ruling marks an early courtroom victory for Trump as Democrats continue challenging several election-related actions from his administration.

        Trump has repeatedly argued that mail-in voting creates opportunities for fraud, while election officials and voting experts maintain that widespread voter fraud remains rare.

        Still, mail voting has become a flashpoint in national politics since the 2020 election, with Democrats generally embracing expanded absentee voting while Republicans push for tighter safeguards and voter verification requirements.

        Newly Unsealed Complaint Reveals Disturbing Threat Against Ivanka Trump

        A newly unsealed federal terrorism complaint has revealed a deeply unsettling detail tied to an alleged Iran-backed terror network — and it appears to place First Daughter Ivanka Trump alarmingly close to potential danger during a family trip to Disneyland Paris earlier this year.

        According to the complaint, Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya — a group prosecutors say operates as part of the U.S.-designated terror organization Kata’ib Hizballah — issued a disturbing Snapchat message to President Donald Trump on April 20 that specifically referenced Ivanka Trump in graphic and threatening language.

        “From the heart of the matter, where your daughter Ivanka, that whore who throws herself into the arms of men, adorns her face lightly and breathes with delight wherever she falls upon the edge of a rich wealthy man,” the message read before adding: “You moron, your daughter was on the brink of death thirteen days ago, but our men don’t kill whores.”

        The post then encouraged followers to kill “arrogant, criminal, cursed Trump.”

        The timing immediately raised alarms.

        Exactly thirteen days before the April 20 threat was posted was April 7 — the same day Ivanka Trump was publicly photographed visiting Disneyland Paris with her children. TMZ reported at the time that the Trump family traveled with heavy security, including guards stationed outside rides and throughout the park.

        No major media outlet appears to have previously connected the “thirteen days ago” reference in the terror message to Ivanka’s highly publicized Paris trip.

        The revelation comes as federal prosecutors pursue charges against 32-year-old Iraqi national Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, described in court filings as a senior Kata’ib Hizballah operative with ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

        According to investigators, Al-Saadi and associates were allegedly operating in Paris around the same time as Ivanka Trump’s visit. Prosecutors say the terror network had also plotted attacks against Western targets in Europe, including an alleged attempt to bomb the Bank of America building in Paris.

        Federal authorities say Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya released a propaganda video on March 16 previewing an attack against the exact building.

        The allegations add new weight to longstanding concerns about threats directed at members of the Trump family — especially after the 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian terror mastermind Qassem Soleimani.

        According to The New York Post, Al-Saadi allegedly made explicit statements about targeting Ivanka Trump in retaliation.

        “After Qassem was killed, he went around telling people ‘we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house,’” former Iraqi diplomat Entifadh Qanbar told the outlet.

        The complaint also points to social media posts allegedly tied to Al-Saadi dating back years.

        In posts on X from 2021 and 2023, Al-Saadi allegedly shared maps showing the Florida neighborhood where Ivanka Trump lives with her husband Jared Kushner and their three children.

        “I say to the Americans look at this picture and know that neither your palaces nor the Secret Service will protect you,” one post read. “We are currently in the stage of surveillance and analysis. I told you, our revenge is a matter of time.”

        Ivanka Trump has long faced heightened security concerns due to her role in the Trump administration and her family’s high profile. During Donald Trump’s first term, federal authorities repeatedly warned of escalating threats from Iran-linked actors following Soleimani’s death, including assassination plots targeting top Trump administration officials.

        The newly unsealed complaint alleges Al-Saadi either coordinated or inspired nearly 20 terror attacks across Europe and Canada through Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya, a group prosecutors say was specifically created to mask operational ties to Kata’ib Hizballah, Hezbollah, and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

        The allegations paint an increasingly disturbing picture: a terror network allegedly obsessed with revenge against the Trump family — and possibly operating frighteningly close to Ivanka Trump during a family vacation packed with innocent children and tourists.

          President Donald Trump is set to spend Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery, where he will participate in ceremonies honoring fallen U.S. service members, according to reporting first shared by The Daily Wire.

          Trump is expected to join members of his administration, Gold Star families, and military personnel at the Virginia cemetery on Monday. His schedule includes a visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier followed by remarks nearby commemorating those who died in service to the country.

          Several top administration officials are expected to attend alongside the president, including Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine.

          White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales told The Daily Wire that Trump would honor “our fallen heroes whose sacrifice has kept our nation free,” adding that the president would express “the enduring gratitude of our entire nation.”

          Memorial Day ceremonies at Arlington have long served as a centerpiece for presidents from both parties, with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier carrying particular symbolic significance. The monument honors unidentified American service members and sits on one of the highest points in the cemetery overlooking Washington, D.C.

          More than 430,000 people are buried at Arlington National Cemetery, including military veterans, service members, and eligible family members.

          Trump marked Memorial Day there last year as well, taking part in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with members of his administration.

          During remarks at the event, Trump praised U.S. service members who “left behind the blessings of home and family” to answer the country’s call, while acknowledging the sacrifices made by military families.

          Arlington itself has a long and complex history. The cemetery occupies land once connected to the family of Confederate General Robert E. Lee before it was seized by the U.S. government during the American Civil War and converted into a national cemetery amid the war’s heavy casualties.

          This year’s appearance comes as Trump continues using ceremonial presidential events to emphasize themes of military service, patriotism, and national identity during his second term.
