      Former President Donald Trump said during an interview with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson that officials in the Manhattan courthouse where he was arrested apologized to him and were “actually crying.”

      “When I went to the courthouse, which is also a prison in a sense, they signed me in and I’ll tell you, people were crying,” he said. “People that work there, professionally work there, that have no problems putting in murderers and they see everybody. It’s tough, tough place and they were crying. They were actually crying.”

      “They said, ‘I’m sorry.’ They’d say, ‘2024, sir. 2024.’ And tears are pouring down their eyes. I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said. “Those people are phenomenal. Those are your police. Those are the people that work at the courthouse. They’re unbelievable people. Many of them were in tears or close to it. Many apologies. ‘We’re sorry, sir. We’re sorry.’ They had to have me do certain things they said. They said, ‘Sir, I can’t believe I have to ask you. I can’t even believe that I have to ask you to do it.’ You can see, so in one sense, it was beautiful because they get it. In another sense, you know, it’s nasty.”

      Trump concluded on the subject by saying that “in many ways, it was a beautiful day because the people understand.”

      Last week, Trump was arraigned on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.

      Earlier this month, a Manhattan grand jury voted to indict former President Donald Trump for his alleged role in a hush money bribe to adult film star Stormy Daniels amid the 2016 presidential election in DA Alvin Bragg’s yearslong investigation into the real estate mogul.

      Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York opted out of charging Trump related to the Daniels payment in 2019. The Federal Election Commission also tossed its investigation into the matter in 2021.

      Hunter Biden To Be Stripped Of License To Practice Law In DC

        Former first son and convicted felon Hunter Biden agreed to be disbarred from practicing law in Washington, D.C., according to court records. 

        Hunter Biden filed an affidavit under seal on Tuesday acknowledging his “consent to disbarment,” D.C. Court of Appeals records show. Biden was “suspended immediately from the practice of law” in Washington, D.C., in June 2024 following his felony conviction in a Delaware federal court. 

        Hunter Biden will officially be disbarred if the D.C. Court of Appeals accepts a disciplinary agency’s recommendation – and his own consent – for disbarment, according to the New York Post.

        The former first son’s Washington, D.C., bar member standing currently reads that he is under “Temp Disciplinary Suspension,” Fox News Digital found on Wednesday morning. Hunter Biden has been licensed to practice law in the nation’s capital since 2007. 

        Hunter Biden was found guilty in June 2024 of lying about his drug use when purchasing a firearm in 2018. 

        He was found guilty on three charges: making a false statement on a purchase application of a gun, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer, and possession of a gun by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.

        GOP Shouldn’t Hide From Being Pro-Life

          Washington D.C., USA - January 22, 2015; A Pro-Life woman clashes with a group of Pro-Choice demonstrators at the U.S. Supreme Court.

          OPINION – Ever since the Supreme Court leak ahead of its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Republicans have been cowed by the leftist media into hiding their pro-life policies.

          This is a huge mistake.

          While the media and radical Democrat partisans hyped the decision’s impact and quickly weaponized the decision, much of the GOP hid, hoping the abortion issue would just go away.

          And to some degree, it has faded as Americans are clearly more concerned about the economy, inflation, crime, and illegal immigration.

          But acting as if we have something to be afraid of only gives the radical abortionists vindication.

          And they don’t deserve it. And we don’t have anything to fear.

          The left is on the wrong side of the issue, of medical science, of morality and of the majority of the American people.

          And we are on the right side.

          Yes, most Americans believe in some widespread access to abortion, but very few believe in abortion on demand with no restrictions, including late-term abortion up to birth.

          And yet, this radical abortion stance has become the policy of today’s Democrats.

          They are the extremists.

          Earlier this week, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) made that point as he stood his ground on a debate stage at the Lake Worth campus of Palm Beach College.

          “I’m 100% pro-life not because I want to deny anyone their rights but because I believe that innocent human life is worthy of the protection under the law,” Rubio said. While noting he has supported legislation that includes exceptions for rape, incest, and the mother’s health, he then went on offense, arguing that “the extremist on abortion in this campaign” is his opponent.

          Like Democrats around the country, Demings [Rubio’s Dem opponent] had been running ads hitting her Republican opponent on abortion for more than a month. During their debate, Rubio delivered his rebuttal. “She supports no restrictions, no limitations of any kind – she’s against a four-month ban, she voted against a five-month ban,” he said. “She supports taxpayer-funded abortion on demand for any reason any time up until the moment of birth.”

          This is how Republicans should fight the abortion battle.

          We should show that we are reasonable and mainstream while the Democrats are the abortion extremists.

          The National Right to Life organization has always made exceptions for rape, incest, and danger to the life of the mother.

          I recall taking their pledge as a congressional candidate in 2010 in Florida.

          Many conservatives also allow for abortions up to 10 weeks or when a fetal heartbeat is detected.

          This too is supported by many Americans and would likely be supported by many more if they were shown the science.

          With the widespread availability of contraception and ‘reproductive health’ in America why would abortion need to be guaranteed beyond 10, 12, or 15 weeks (where most European countries draw the line)?

          Significantly, the most common cutoff for abortions around the world is 12 weeks, Axios has reported.

          A recent poll found that 48% of Americans at least somewhat support restricting abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, while 43% oppose it.

          Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, says Republican candidates should be leaning into abortion as a winning conservative issue — not running away.

          She blamed some Republicans for “inch[ing] to the middle, maybe the back of the bus” on abortion as Election Day approaches.

          “Letting the dust settle without being a vocal advocate means you let the dust settle on the wrong side,” Dannenfelser said.

          And she is totally correct.

          Conservatives need to stand by their principles and defend life.

          The extremists on this issue are the pro-abortion Democrats.

          French President Macron Files Lawsuit Against Candace Owens

          On Wednesday, French President Emmanuel Macron filed a lawsuit against podcaster Candace Owens over her repeated claims that his wife, Brigitte, is a man.

          The lawsuit, which was filed in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, calls Owens’ claims “devastating lies” and adds that the podcast host “disregarded all credible evidence disproving her claim in favor of platforming known conspiracy theorists and proven defamers.”

          In 2024, Owens —who was then a host at Ben Shapiro’s outlet the Daily Wire — boldly stated that she’d stake her “entire professional reputation” on Brigitte Macron being a man. Since then, Owens has repeatedly insisted that the French first lady is a biological man.

          Owens even launched an eight-episode series called “Becoming Brigitte” to further examine the conspiracy theory.

          That series, the suit alleges, is packed with “outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions” including “that Mrs. Macron was born a man, stole another person’s identity, and transitioned to become Brigitte; Mrs. Macron and President Macron are blood relatives committing incest; President Macron was chosen to be the President of France as part of the CIA-operated MKUltra program or a similar mind-control program; and Mrs. Macron and President Macron are committing forgery, fraud, and abuses of power to conceal these secrets.”

          “These claims are demonstrably false, and Owens knew they were,” the suit states.

          The lawsuit continues:

          This is nothing new for Owens. She has built a brand on provocation, not truth. Owens labels herself as an independent “investigative journalist” while routinely peddling misinformation under the guise of legitimate reporting. She has promoted a range of conspiracy theories, including anti-vaccine falsehoods, long-debunked antisemitic tropes such as blood libel, and Holocaust distortion — going so far as to dismiss the atrocities of Josef Mengele’s medical experiments as mere “propaganda.” Her content is not intended to inform but to inflame and attract attention through sensationalism and conspiracy theories.

          The Macron family, represented by high-profile American law firm Clare Locke, is seeking damages and is demanding a jury trial.

          A spokesman for Owens told Mediaite that she would respond to the suit on Wednesday’s episode of her podcast.

          “Candace will be officially responding to this on her podcast today,” the spokesman said, “as we are just learning about this in the press.”

          Last week, Candace Owens accused President Donald Trump of thinking that his political base is “stupid” on the latest episode of her show, which she opened by calling the Jeffrey Epstein scandal “terminal cancer” for the MAGA movement.

          After comparing the administration’s attempt at moving on from the Epstein scandal to the stories about Hunter Biden that were dismissed by the “Deep State,” Owens accused Trump of “being guilty of gaslighting the public.”

          “It seems like you think your base is stupid. That’s how I feel. I feel like Trump thinks his base is stupid, or, again, because I don’t think he’s pressing send on these messages, the people around him think that Trump is stupid. And that shouldn’t surprise you given the fact that all of these people were ‘Never Trump.’ They were ‘Never Trump.’ Trump is surrounded by people who hate him and have infiltrated his base,” argued Owens, who went on to submit that Trump — or those around him — had decided to give Ukraine more weapons in order to distract from the conversation about Epstein.

          “Operation: Just Give Them More War. Yeah, war as a distraction. Never mind! We can’t talk about Epstein because guys, guess what? Look at this headline: Trump announces an aggressive, or Trump is to announce an aggressive Ukraine weapons plan. Yeah, he already indicated that in that same press conference that there’s just going to be more weapons sent to Ukraine, they’re going to attack Russia. We’re just going to have to have a world war and another reset, I guess. So, you guys just stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein,” she added. “I am telling you that I will be the very last person that will stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein. I will do his entire genealogy backwards and forwards, including everybody around him, get their genealogy, before we let go of this.”

          Judge Rejects BBC’s Bid To Halt Discovery In Trump $10B Lawsuit

          A federal judge on Thursday dealt an early blow to the BBC’s legal strategy in President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit, refusing the broadcaster’s request to pause discovery and clearing the way for both sides to begin exchanging evidence.

          U.S. District Judge Roy Altman ruled that the BBC’s bid to halt the evidence-gathering process was “premature” and said the network had failed to show it would be unfairly harmed if discovery moved forward. In a separate order, the court scheduled a two-week trial date for February 2027.

          The decision represents a significant procedural win for Trump, who has argued that the publicly funded British broadcaster knowingly pushed a misleading narrative about January 6 in an effort to damage him politically.

          Trump is suing over edited footage aired in an October 2024 episode of the BBC’s Panorama documentary series. The clips, first reported by The Telegraph in November, allegedly spliced together two separate Trump statements in a way that his legal team says created the “mistaken impression” that he directed supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol.

          Trump’s attorneys argue the editing was not a simple mistake, but part of a broader media pattern that Republicans have long criticized: selectively framing Trump and his supporters as violent extremists while downplaying evidence that Trump repeatedly urged peaceful protest.

          The president’s lawsuit seeks $5 billion in damages for defamation, along with another $5 billion for alleged violations of trade practices.

          The case has already caused turmoil inside the BBC. The fallout reportedly triggered resignations among senior leadership, including director general Tim Davie and BBC News CEO Deborah Turness.

          BBC Chair Samir Shah apologized for an “error of judgment,” but insisted there is “no basis for a defamation case” and said the corporation is “determined to fight this.”

          Judge Altman’s ruling means the BBC will now be required to turn over internal communications, production materials, and editorial decision-making documents — evidence that could prove critical in determining whether the broadcaster acted negligently or with actual malice.

          MAGA Representative to Introduce Bill Designating Antifa as Terrorist Org. after Atlanta’s ‘Cop City’ Set Ablaze

            House Republicans want to hold Antifa accountable after demonstrators allegedly set fire to the construction site of an Atlanta public safety training facility anti-police and environment activists dubbed “Cop City” Sunday evening.

            Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she plans to introduce legislation to declare Antifa as a terrorist organization.

            “Antifa are domestic terrorists and I’m introducing my resolution to officially declare them a terrorist organization on Tuesday,” Rep. Green tweeted while sharing a video of the fire.

            “This is domestic terrorism. It was planned for weeks and announced on social media. Antifa are self proclaimed communists and consistently organize to attack our government over and over again. They should be taken seriously and not tolerated anymore,” she tweeted.

            Fox 5 reported Sunday that the facility was on lockdown after at least one construction vehicle was set on fire amid the latest protests on Sunday.

            A progressive group called “Stop Cop City” has been protesting against the new 85-acre training facility being built in the wooded parts of DeKalb County, Atlanta since plans for it were announced, arguing it will promote the militarization of the police and may result in environmental concerns.

            On Monday, the Atlanta Police Department (APD) confirmed that a group of “agitators” left the nearby South River Music Festival around 5:30 p.m. and descended on the construction site of the proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Center “to conduct a coordinated attack on construction equipment and police officers,” the APD said in a statement. 

            Authorities noted that agitators changed into black clothing and allegedly began to throw commercial-grade fireworks, Molotov cocktails, large rocks, and bricks at police officers. Antifa is known to use similar tactics.

            Atlanta Chief of Police Darin Schierbaum said Sunday’s incident marked a “significant escalation” both in the level of violence and the number of individuals involved in the attack.

            “This wasn’t about a public safety training center. This was about anarchy, and this was about an attempt to destabilize. And we are addressing that quickly,” Schierbaum told reporters. “Actions such as this will not be tolerated. You attack law enforcement officers, you damage equipment, you are breaking the law. This was a very violent attack that occurred this evening.” 

            The FBI and Georgia Bureau of Investigation have joined the probe, he said. 

            Atlanta police said at least 35 people had been detained as of Sunday night. Charging decisions have yet to be announced.

            “Some of those arrested yesterday were from Massachusetts and New York and France and Canada. So this is a national network, an international group of people that are organized to come to our state to undermine a public safety training center,” Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said in an appearance on Fox News Monday morning. 

            “This is not a protest,” the chief added. “I made a clear distinction of what a protest looks like. When it is a legitimate protest, you have the full protection of the Atlanta Police Department. This is not a protest. This is criminal activity. And the charges that will be brought forth will show that.” 

            Before Sunday, at least 19 people had been arrested and charged with domestic terrorism since December in connection to demonstrations at the “Cop City” site. 

            In January, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) issued a state of emergency after protests broke out in response to a police shooting of an activist during an operation to clear out the construction site for the facility.

            Trump Urges Governors to Embrace AI Data Centers as Public Opposition Grows

            President Donald Trump is urging governors and mayors to welcome artificial intelligence data centers into their communities, arguing that the enormous facilities will generate jobs, tax revenue and technological breakthroughs even as Americans increasingly express concerns about their impact on electricity, water and the environment.

            Speaking during a White House meeting with technology and cryptocurrency industry leaders, Trump argued that communities rejecting data-center projects risk being left behind as the United States races to expand its AI infrastructure.

            “If I were the mayor of a town or the governor of a state, and I had a chance to get a big plant in an AI plant or a data center, I would absolutely want it because the jobs are enormous, and the money paid, the taxes paid are just enormous,” Trump said.

            “And if you don’t take it, you’re going to be left behind because there are plenty of places that want it,” he added.

            “Many of them are designed in a very beautiful way,” he said. “It’s really very positive.”

            Americans Aren’t So Sure

            Trump acknowledged that the rapidly expanding industry may need “a little public relations help,” and polling suggests he has a point.

            A Gallup poll released in May found a majority of Americans opposed construction of data centers in their own communities. Among the major concerns are the facilities’ substantial electricity and water requirements, as well as their potential environmental effects.

            The electricity issue has become particularly contentious as the AI boom accelerates. Data centers require enormous quantities of power to operate servers and cooling systems, raising questions about whether their expansion could strain electrical grids or ultimately increase utility costs for ordinary consumers.

            The Trump administration has attempted to manage that backlash by encouraging technology companies and data-center developers to secure additional sources of electricity rather than simply adding their enormous demand to existing grids.

            Trump has also backed efforts to speed construction. An executive order issued in July 2025 called for accelerating federal permitting for qualifying data-center infrastructure.

            The president argued Wednesday that communities should weigh those concerns against the economic benefits the projects can bring.

            Trump Points to Jobs and Medical Breakthroughs

            Asked what he would tell Americans who remain skeptical about AI, Trump again emphasized employment while making a broader case for the technology’s potential.

            “I think it’s going to create a lot of jobs. It’s going to create success. It’s going to create tremendous innovation medically,” Trump said.

            He referenced an unspecified medical development he had recently reviewed involving a “pretty unstoppable disease.”

            “All of a sudden they’re coming up with answers that they never thought were possible,” Trump said.

            AI is already being explored for uses ranging from drug discovery and medical imaging to disease detection and personalized treatment, making health care one of the areas frequently cited by the industry’s proponents when arguing that the enormous investments in computing infrastructure could produce benefits beyond the technology sector.

            Trump Wants Regulation Without ‘Stifling’ AI

            The administration is simultaneously confronting another question: how aggressively Washington should regulate a technology Trump believes could become even more consequential than the internet.

            “We’re leading by a lot with AI. We want to keep it that way,” Trump said. “We want to regulate, but we want to have regulation where they can continue to lead, not regulation that’s going to stifle a very important industry.”

            Trump has made winning the global AI race a significant economic and national-security priority of his second administration.

            On his second day back in office in January 2025, Trump appeared alongside technology executives to announce Stargate, a private-sector venture with plans to invest as much as $500 billion in American AI infrastructure.

            Its flagship data-center complex in Abilene, Texas, has since become partially operational, while additional projects have been pursued around the country.

            But the scale of the buildout has also transformed data centers from an obscure piece of digital infrastructure into a local political issue. Communities that once competed enthusiastically for major corporate investments are increasingly weighing promised construction jobs and tax revenues against higher electricity demand, water consumption, land use and potential effects on utility bills.

            Report: Trump Officials Pushing Federal Prosecutors to Charge NY AG Letitia James for Mortgage Fraud

            Senior officials in the Trump administration are pressing federal prosecutors to take action against New York Attorney General Letitia James, who has long been seen by conservatives as a politically motivated adversary of President Donald Trump.

            According to a new ABC News report, Trump has personally urged Department of Justice leadership to investigate and pursue charges, while top officials like Ed Martin — head of the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group — and Bill Pulte — director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency — are pressing the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia to file charges.

            Their focus: alleged mortgage fraud involving a Virginia property that James claimed as her primary residence in 2023, despite being required by law to reside in New York while serving as attorney general. Officials argue that James may have misled a financial institution to secure favorable mortgage terms, which would constitute a federal offense.

            Although a five-month investigation has so far yielded what some career prosecutors say is “no clear evidence” of fraud, Trump allies argue that the matter deserves a full and transparent examination. They point out that politically connected Democrats often avoid scrutiny, while conservatives are aggressively pursued over far less.

            The FBI’s criminal investigation into James was formally launched in May. At the time, U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III emphasized that his office will not shy away from its duty if evidence emerges:

            “We stand prepared to act in the capacity that we need to when and if we are informed there’s a charge to be made. Unlike Letitia James, who unethically ran around the state campaigning on getting Donald Trump… my office conducts itself in a manner that is proper and professional.”

            State Department Hosted ‘Therapy Cry Sessions’ For Employees Following Trump Victory

            By

            Secretary of State Antony Blinken is facing backlash after reports surfaced that the State Department organized therapy sessions for employees distressed by President-elect Donald Trump‘s victory in the 2024 election. According to sources who spoke to The Washington Free Beacon, the Biden administration’s State Department hosted the sessions for its staff to help them cope with the emotional fallout from the election results raising concerns about professionalism and the Department’s competency.

            An internal email sent out by the Department’s Bureau of Medical Services encouraged staff to attend a one-hour webinar on “managing stress during change.” The session offered “effective stress management techniques” to help participants navigate the uncertainty they felt in the wake of the election.

            It then invited employees to join a discussion on how to handle their feelings about the outcome of the election. The focus of the session, according to the email, was to “provide tips and practical strategies for managing stress and maintaining your well-being.”

            While the initiative was likely well-intentioned in its goal to support mental health, the idea of government workers receiving taxpayer-funded therapy to cope with a political defeat has sparked fierce criticism. Among the most vocal detractors is Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Issa called the sessions “unacceptable,” emphasizing that government employees should not expect to be “soothed” over the results of a democratic election, especially when their salaries are funded by American taxpayers.

            Issa lambasted the State Department for tolerating what he described as a “personal meltdown” from its employees. In a letter to Blinken, Issa noted that the U.S. government champions free and fair elections around the world, and that it was “disturbing” to see U.S. government officials struggling to cope with the results of a legitimate, democratically held election. He went on to question the appropriateness of taxpayer-funded therapy sessions for civil servants who, according to Issa, should be able to handle political change without resorting to emotional support services.

            “It is unacceptable that the Department accommodates this behavior and subsidizes it with taxpayer dollars,” Issa wrote. “The mental health of our foreign service personnel is important, but the Department has no obligation to indulge and promote the leftist political predilections of its employees and soothe their frayed nerves because of the good-faith votes of—and at the personal expense of—the American taxpayers.”

            Issa’s letter raised broader concerns about the State Department’s ability to effectively carry out its duties in a time of political transition. Given the stark policy differences between the Biden administration and the incoming Trump administration, Issa questioned whether the personnel involved in these therapy sessions would be able to effectively implement the policy priorities of the new president.

            “The mere fact that the Department is hosting these sessions raises significant questions about the willingness of its personnel to implement the lawful policy priorities that the American people elected President Trump to pursue,” Issa wrote.

            The idea that a portion of the U.S. government workforce may struggle with accepting a Trump victory—despite the fact that elections are a regular and democratic part of American life—raises questions about the professional competence and political neutrality of federal employees.

            The controversy over these therapy sessions underscores a growing sense of frustration among conservatives who believe that the federal government has become too politicized, particularly in agencies like the State Department, which often take progressive stances on global issues. Critics argue that such therapy sessions are emblematic of a broader trend within the federal bureaucracy, where employees may prioritize their personal political beliefs over their professional duties to serve the American people impartially.

            On Monday, a federal appeals court in New York rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s appeal, ordering him to pay $5 million to advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.

            The Hill reported, a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit concluded Trump did not sufficiently show any claimed errors affected his rights or warranted a new trial.  

            “On review for abuse of discretion, we conclude that Mr. Trump has not demonstrated that the district court erred in any of the challenged rulings,” the panel wrote in its unsigned opinion. 

            Trump requested a new trial over allegations that the jury heard improper testimony and Trump was wrongly precluded from asking Carroll certain questions during cross-examination. 

            The New York jury found Trump liable last year for sexually abusing Carroll in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the mid-1990s and defaming her by denying her story when she came forward during Trump’s first presidency. 

            Steven Cheung a Trump spokesperson set to become his White House communications director, said in a statement that Trump will continue to appeal the verdict.

            “The American People have re-elected President Trump with an overwhelming mandate, and they demand an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and a swift dismissal of all of the Witch Hunts, including the Democrat-funded Carroll Hoax, which will continue to be appealed,” Cheung said in a statement.

            “We look forward to uniting our country in the new administration as President Trump makes America great again,” he added.

            In a separate case, a jury ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million in defamation damages for continuing to deny her story. 

            Unlike many other court cases brought against Trump that have ended since he was re-elected to the presidency, Carroll’s cases continue, with the $83.3 million defamation appeal still looming.
