      Don Lemon is facing viral criticism after posting a TikTok video mocking former First Lady Melania Trump‘s emotional account of the July 13 assassination attempt on her husband, Donald Trump. While Lemon, a former CNN anchor, remained silent in the video, his exaggerated body language – including eye-rolling, head shaking and sighing – appeared to convey ridicule and contempt.

      Melania Trump’s video, posted Wednesday on X, described the “horrible, distressing experience” of the attempt, during which a bullet grazed Donald Trump’s ear. The shooter’s subsequent gunfire killed one rallygoer and critically injured two others. In her statement, Melania expressed concern, questioning law enforcement’s actions: “I can’t help but wonder, why didn’t law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech.”

      Lemon has since deleted the TikTok post, but it continues to spark reactions online.

      On Tuesday, Fox News reported that Michael Plati, assistant director of the Secret Service’s Office of Protective Operations, was strongly encouraged to retire following the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. According to United States Secret Service (USSS) Acting Director Ronald Rowe, Plati was asked to step down by senior leadership and is expected to do so in the coming days.

      The announcement of Plati’s resignation follows the July 23 departure of USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned under mounting pressure in the wake of the assassination attempt on Trump. In light of these developments, the Department of Defense has stepped in to offer additional assistance to the Secret Service in protecting political figures requiring heightened security.

      CNN Dumps Trump Transcript Over Classified Docs

      Things are not looking good for Donald Trump.

      Hours after Trump was reportedly indicted by a Florida grand jury in the classified documents case CNN’s Paula Reid shared a transcript of the tape in which Trump discusses not being able to share secret information.

      Reid and Kaitlan Collins broke the news last week that Trump was caught on tape discussing an allegedly classified document that he had taken with him when he left the White House. During the tape, Trump reportedly acknowledged he can’t show the document, which outlines a plan to attack Iran, to his visitors because of the classification attached to it.

      Read the transcript below:

      “Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this,” Trump says at one point, according to the transcript. “This was done by the military and given to me.”

      Trump was complaining in the meeting about Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley. The meeting occurred shortly after The New Yorker published a story by Susan Glasser detailing how, in the final days of Trump’s presidency, Milley instructed the Joint Chiefs to ensure Trump issued no illegal orders and that he be informed if there was any concern.

      “Well, with Milley – uh, let me see that, I’ll show you an example. He said that I wanted to attack Iran. Isn’t that amazing? I have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look. This was him,” Trump says, according to the transcript. “They presented me this – this is off the record, but – they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him. We looked at some. This was him. This wasn’t done by me, this was him.”

      Trump continues: “All sorts of stuff – pages long, look. Wait a minute, let’s see here. I just found, isn’t that amazing? This totally wins my case, you know. Except it is like, highly confidential. Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this.”

      During an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital Thursday night, Trump said the case is “election interference” and “the greatest witch hunt of all time.” Trump said he will “of course” plead not guilty to charges in federal court on Tuesday, and said he is “totally innocent.”

      “This is the most corrupt administration in history—there has never been an administration so corrupt, and they’re just starting to find it right now,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “They are trying to deflect all of their dishonesty by bringing this ridiculous boxes hoax case.”

      He added: “They’re not going to get away with it.”

      “I did absolutely nothing wrong,” he said, citing the Presidential Records Act, saying it “makes me totally innocent.”

      Focus Group Of Black Undecided Voters In Georgia Signals Trouble For Harris

      A focus group of Black undecided voters in Georgia has raised concerns for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, revealing dissatisfaction with her leadership and the current state of the economy. According to feedback from the group, many believe the economy performed better under former President Donald Trump.

      The focus group, conducted by James Johnson of J.L. Partners for The Daily Mail, highlighted skepticism about Harris’ leadership abilities, with voters labeling her as “weak” and inconsistent. Some notable comments from participants include:

      • “If you look at the statistics now, we’re far worse than we were before. Everything is worse now with Biden and Harris.”
      • “Even though Trump didn’t make all the right choices, the economy just worked better under him. I think it was the overall business mindset that helped.”
      • “She kept saying that she’s a warrior, but I don’t think she is.”
      • “If you put her next to Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton, it’s like there’s no comparison. They would eat her up.”

      The Daily Mail further reports:

      A new shock poll conducted by the NAACP last week showed that one in four black men under 50 say they’re going to back President Donald Trump.

      Numbers like that should terrify Vice President Kamala Harris‘ campaign – especially as they eye black communities across the county that are critical to winning in 2024.

      Cobb County, Georgia is one of those places.

      President Joe Biden carried Cobb in 2020 by almost ten percentage points.

      These sentiments by the group reflect a potential challenge for Harris, particularly in Georgia, where the latest RealClearPolitics polling average shows Trump leading by 1.7 points.

        Fox News Hosts Turn On Trump After Recent Tirade Targeting Former Press Sec.

        The Fox News team is defending former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany after she became the subject of Trump’s

        “Kayleigh ‘Milktoast’ McEnany just gave out the wrong poll numbers on FoxNews,” Trump wrote in a Tuesday post on Truth Social, “I am 34 points up on DeSanctimonious, not 25 up. While 25 is great, it’s not 34”

        “She knew the number was corrected upwards by the group that did the poll,” he claimed. “The RINOS & Globalists can have her. FoxNews should only use REAL Stars!!!”

        Shortly before Trump’s post, McEnany — a co-host of Fox News’ Outnumbered — had appeared on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime, where she said that Trump’s 2024 Republican primary rival Ron DeSantis appeared to be closing in on the former president in Iowa.

        “The DeSantis team would say, you know, ‘We just had polling come out that shows we closed the gap by 9 points since we announced in Iowa.’ Still, Trump’s hugely ahead, but they say they’re closing the gap. That’s their argument,” said McEnany, who served as Trump’s press secretary between April 2020 and January 2021.

        “If you look at the polling now, it was Trump 34 in Iowa, it’s now Trump 25,” she continued. “That’s double digits.”

        On Wednesday, Brian Kilmeade didn’t hold back from criticizing Trump’s decision to lash out at his former press secretary.

        “Three shots at common weaknesses of the president,” Kilmeade said while discussing “some subtle shots at Trump,” he saw the Florida Governor make during a Tuesday stump speech in Iowa.

        “They see you make things up. They say he’s he flies off the handle. For example, attacking Kayleigh McEnany is insane. She was one of the best press secretaries ever. Dana Perino, as Ari Fleischer watching to say she was fantastic, but she’s an analyst now. She doesn’t work for any campaign.”

        A number of Fox News officials also knocked Trump for his attack on McEnany.

        “This is pathetic. I don’t care who you are. This is unacceptable and unhinged,” reacted Blaze TV host Chad Prather. “[McEnany] took bullets for this man. We have a guy in the White House destroying the country and you go after her?!?!? It’s becoming an absolute joke.”

        Far-right Billionaire Peter Thiel Revealed as FBI Informant

          Far-right billionaire investor Peter Thiel was revealed as an FBI informant as recently as 2021, according to a new report from Insider.

          Insider reports:

          In order to be added to this database, multiple layers of approval are typically required, and only those able to provide “valuable information … on a recurring basis” are given CHS status. Once admitted to the CHS database, informants are then given a code name and a serial number to categorize reports.

          The source added that Thiel’s status as an FBI informant is meant to be a way for the billionaire to distance himself from the MAGA movement, which has repeatedly assailed both the FBI and the US Department of Justice in response to investigations focused on former President Donald Trump. Johnson told Insider that he believes Thiel is primarily informing on foreign governments’ attempts to cement themselves within Silicon Valley. Johnson added that Thiel was explicitly told to not inform on former President Donald Trump or other US political figures.

          Peter Thiel, who was the first outside investor in Facebook, became influential within the Republican Party in 2016, when he pledged $1.25 million to elect Trump and endorsed him at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Thiel then served on then-President-elect Trump’s transition team. And in the 2022 midterm elections, Thiel backed MAGA US Senate candidate and ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ author JD Vance with a $10 million super PAC donation. Vance went on to attack the FBI, falsely accusing agents of wiretapping his phone. Thiel also put $15 million toward a super PAC backing Arizona Republican US Senate candidate Blake Masters, who went on to lose the general election to incumbent Senator Mark Kelly (D-Arizona).

          Congressman Issues Articles of Impeachment Against Trump

            Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) has introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump.

            The Democrat Congressman claimed that President Trump should be impeached after defying the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling requiring the facilitation of the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia calling it a “direct defiance of the U.S. Constitution.” 

            Thanedar’s impeachment announcement came hours after a Michigan state House member launched a left-wing primary challenge seeking to oust the two-term House member with the support of the progressive Justice Democrats. 

            State Rep. Donavan McKinney (D) specifically called out Thanedar in his announcement video on Monday, depicting him as out of touch with his constituents as a multimillionaire while his district is one of the poorest in the country. 

            “People like our congressman, Shri Thanedar, are the problem,” he said. “A multimillionaire who spent millions to buy a seat in Congress, who has more in common with Donald Trump and Elon Musk than people like us.”

            Trump Calls For Fox News To Take ‘Loser’ Host Off The Air

              President Donald Trump criticized two Fox News hosts in a Truth Social post, calling on network executives to remove one of them from the air.

              Trump first responded to a “Fox News Sunday” interview with Democratic Rep. Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts, accusing anchor Shannon Bream of failing to challenge what he described as false claims made by Democrats on her program. He also targeted Jessica Tarlov, a co-host of “The Five” and a liberal panelist who appears on the Sunday show, urging that she be taken off the air.

              “Tell Shannon Bream of FoxNews that it’s not the Save Act, it’s the Save America Act, a big difference! Also, when she insists on having lightweight Democrat Congressmen, such as Jake Auchincloss, on her not very hard hitting show, she should correct them when they spew out Democrat propaganda and lies. She never does! I always close deals, unlike the Dems, and did great with China in every way, also, unlike the Dems!” Trump said.

              “For Fox executives only, take Jessica Tarlov off the air. She is, from her voice, to her lies, and everything else about her, one of the worst “personalities” on television, a real loser! People cannot stand watching her. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump continued.

              During the “Fox News Sunday” segment, Auchincloss said the war in Iran has been a “failure” and argued that it has given Iran leverage through its control of the Strait of Hormuz.

              Trump has previously criticized Fox News, particularly after the network’s early projection that former President Joe Biden would win Arizona in the 2020 election. In a March appearance on “The Five,” Trump said he was not a fan of Tarlov, who frequently criticizes him on-air, and suggested the show would be better without her.

              “I watch Jessica, and I’m not a fan,” Trump said. “And she uses fake numbers. She’ll give, ‘Well, he’s only polling 42%.’ That’s not right. Polling very high, actually.” He added criticism of “bad journalists” who write “fake stories,” before saying, “I’m sure I’d like her. I’m sure she’s a lovely person.”

              Special Counsel Files Superseding Indictment Against Trump

              Special counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment in his case indicting former President Trump for his actions seeking to subvert the 2020 election

              The superseding indictment is an effort by the special counsel to respond to a ruling earlier this summer by the Supreme Court, which held that Trump and other former executives retain broad immunity for core actions they took as president and are presumptively immune for other actions taken while in office.

              While the indictment retains the original charges – a sign of Smith’s confidence in the evidence underpinning the case – it makes significant cuts in an effort “to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings.”

              The filing removes former Justice Department attorney Jeffrey Clark as an unnamed, unindicted co-conspirator in the case, a reflection of specific instructions from the Supreme Court that said Trump’s conversations with Justice Department officials were protected from prosecution. 

              The superseding indictment is 10 pages shorter than the original, cutting lengthy examples from the original “speaking indictment” that walked through the evidence against Trump and his plots to remain in power.

              But the new filing takes pains to distinguish various elements of Trump’s efforts to unwind the election as actions taken purely in a private capacity – and thus conduct that can be prosecuted.

              Trump on his social media site called it “an effort to resurrect a ‘dead’ Witch Hunt” and move by Smith to “save face.”

              “Deranged Jack Smith, has brought a ridiculous new Indictment against me, which has all the problems of the old Indictment, and should be dismissed IMMEDIATELY,” Trump wrote.

              The Tuesday filing comes after Smith presented the case against the former president to a second grand jury, which had not previously heard the matter. It likewise concluded charges were warranted against the president.

              Trump Says Epstein ‘Stole’ Giuffre From Mar‑A‑Lago

                This isn’t what the media says. He reportedly had Epstein tossed after repeated thefts from the spa…

                During an impromptu press conference aboard Air Force One on Tuesday, President Donald Trump accused Jeffrey Epstein of “stealing” Mar-a-Lago spa employees — claiming that abuse survivor Virginia Giuffre, now deceased, may have been among them. Trump added that Epstein was expelled from the club for that reason.

                Despite his best efforts, the president’s response to the so-called Epstein files firmly remains in the public consciousness — and threatens to erode his standing with independents and some right-leaning voters.

                Mediaite continues:

                As the president made his way to Turnberry, Scotland and his “Trump Turnberry” resort, Trump was still being peppered with questions about the scandal. The questions have followed him everywhere he’s gone during the trip, as reporters questioned him about developments like the potential pardoning of Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

                While in Scotland, Trump also revealed the reason for his falling out with Epstein, telling reporters that his then-friend was poaching employees from Mar-a-Lago. The White House had previously claimed, in a statement, that “The fact is that the president kicked him out of his club for being a creep.”

                The grilling continued when Trump gaggled aboard Air Force One on the way home from Scotland, and the president just casually let slip that one of the employees Epstein allegedly poached from him was Giuffre, who killed herself in April. Below is the full exchange:

                Trump and Epstein knew one another from the late 1980s to the early 2000s, appearing together at Mar‑a‑Lago events in the early 1990s. The two reportedly fell out around 2004.

                Legal testimony has indicated that Giuffre, while working at Mar‑a‑Lago as a spa attendant at age 16–17, was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell to serve as Epstein’s masseuse, later testifying to being trafficked to powerful men, including Prince Andrew.

                Following a seven-hour meeting with the Department of Justice, Maxwell has offered to testify before the House Oversight Committee — on the condition that she receive full immunity.

                Obama Caught Red-Handed! — This is the political scandal of the century and the liberal press is ignoring it! It’s time to hold the Deep State responsible.
