    Man Accused of Plotting Trump Assassination Challenges President To Golf Match

      Ryan Routh, the accused would-be assassin of President Donald Trump, challenged the president to a round of golf with deadly consequences in a bizarre court filing on Tuesday.

      Routh, who is suspected of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump at his Florida golf course has filed a motion challenging him to a round on the links — with the winner getting the White House.

      Last September, a Secret Service agent spotted Ryan Routh in the shrubbery at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.

      Routh aimed a rifle at the agent before dropping the weapon and running off. At the time, Trump was golfing but had not yet come into Routh’s view.

      That assassination plot came three months after Trump was shot in the ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

      On Tuesday, Routh filed a motion making several odd requests — including strippers, a golf match for the presidency, and even a “beatdown session” from Trump:

      To present new evidence two weeks before court when it has been almost a year for them to gather all they needed, need I say more — it is absurd. The deadline has passed. If you would like to trade admitting the evidence for my subpoena of that baboon Donald J. Trump, bring that idiot on; it is a deal. If you do not want to trade for dumbass, then give me all the others on my recent subpoena list, but I think a beatdown session would be more fun and entertaining for everyone; give me shackles and cuffs and let the old fat man give it his worst. We must beat down crime in America. Carpet is red, isn’t it, no harm in blood. If I am housed at Fort Lucie can it be in a far off, quiet room and can I have access to documents, phone, visitation, email, and maybe a computer and printer, or a fancy typewriter like this one; some female strippers would be great too(model parent): OR perhaps a putting green so I can work on my putting (a golf joke). A round of golf with the racist pig, he wins he can execute me, I win I get his job. (sorry hillbilly Vance)

      Routh was charged with attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and multiple firearm violations.

      A judge recently approved his request to represent himself, and jury selection for his trial is set to begin next week on Sept. 8.

      During a hearing, Routh presented about a dozen additional witnesses that he would like to subpoena, including Trump himself. The court had already approved four character witnesses for Routh, but he requested several more, including a former romantic partner, to testify on his gentleness.

      “That is clearly absurd,” Judge Aileen Cannon said.

      Routh also wanted to question several Harvard professors who he believes could testify that his actions were justified, but Cannon previously ruled that she would not allow Routh to use a justification defense.

      Routh has previously presented other strange requests to the judge.

      Fox News reported in July that Routh wrote an unusual letter to the judge asking why the death penalty isn’t on the table—and proposing that he be included in a prisoner swap with U.S. adversaries, even suggesting he be sent to freeze in Siberia in exchange for a Ukrainian soldier.

      Georgia Judge Orders Fani Willis To Redo Search For Records In Trump Election Case

        A Georgia state court has ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to conduct a new search for records related to her criminal case against President Donald Trump after finding that her search methods were inadequate.

        The recent order from a Fulton County Superior Court judge stems from a months-long pursuit by the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch to obtain communications between Willis’ office and the Jan. 6 select committee, as well as former special counsel Jack Smith’s team.

        The order marks the latest setback in the case for Willis after a judge ordered her office in January to pay nearly $22,000 in legal fees to Judicial Watch, finding that she failed to fully respond to the watchdog’s initial open records requests.

        Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, told Fox News his organization has been searching for Willis’ communications because he believes the district attorney improperly coordinated with the federal government to charge Trump over the 2020 election.

        “The lawsuit is about any collusion and collaboration with Congress and the Justice Department, Jack Smith, and we haven’t seen the documents, but they show that there has been because their very existence shows that they were talking to them,” Fitton said.

        Asked about why Willis communicating with the Jan. 6 committee or Smith would be out of line, Fitton said the mere existence of the interactions showed Willis’ work lacked independence and that her indictment against Trump and 18 others was a “political operation” rather than an “honest, good-faith process.”

        “Look, if Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff are running this investigation, you can be darn sure it’s not credible,” Fitton said in reference to the former Democratic House speaker and member of the Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee, respectively.

        The judge said his order was a response to an affidavit by Willis that failed to address searches of devices belonging to former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade and chief investigator Michael Hill, both of whom were integral to the investigation into Trump’s alleged subversion of the 2020 election in Georgia.

        The judge raised questions about whether their records had been properly searched, saying he noticed “omissions” and that communications may have been overlooked. Willis must respond within 14 days with a more comprehensive report of her search methods, the order stated.

        In March 2025, the court ordered Willis to produce 212 pages of records, which Willis’ office later said it found only after searching for them several times and after initially denying their existence. The new order directs Willis to clarify the search protocols used for Hill’s and Wade’s records.

        In 2023, Willis charged Trump and 18 co-defendants with racketeering and other violations over the 2020 election, but the case was significantly slimmed down significantly because of plea deals and dismissed charges.

        Ultimately, the Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified Willis from the case, finding her private romantic relationship with Wade presented a conflict of interest. The case has since been shelved indefinitely.

        Eric Trump Leaves Door Open To Future White House Bid

        Eric Trump, the son of President Donald J. Trump, left the door open for a future political career after speaking at the Bitcoin Asia conference in Hong Kong, signaling that the Trump family’s influence on American politics and business is far from over.

        In an interview with Nikkei Asia, the 41-year-old Trump Organization executive said he would “never” rule out running for office. “I’m not saying no, but I’m also not saying yes,” he remarked. His comments came shortly after his wife, Lara Trump—now serving as co-chair of the Republican National Committee—announced she would pass on a Senate bid in North Carolina, opting instead to strengthen the GOP nationally.

        A New Generation of Trumps in Politics?

        Though neither Eric nor his brother Donald Trump Jr. has previously expressed personal ambition for elected office, both played an active role in their father’s successful 2024 campaign. The Trump sons were fixtures on the campaign trail, rallying conservative voters, motivating grassroots supporters, and building relationships with Republican donors across the country.

        Eric Trump has emphasized that any decision about entering politics would center on family values and ensuring a better America for his children. “Would I want my kids to live the same experience over the last decade that I’ve lived? You know, if the answer was yes, I think the political path would be an easy one,” he told the Financial Times earlier this summer. “And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it too.”

        Building American Prosperity Abroad

        While speculation about his political future grows, Eric Trump has remained focused on expanding the Trump Organization’s international reach. For much of the past year, he has traveled extensively to promote World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s new cryptocurrency project. The venture officially launched this week, backed by strong enthusiasm from international investors as well as confidence from many within the Trump administration that it represents an innovative step for American financial leadership.

        Supporters see the company as a testament to the Trump family’s commitment to bold, market-driven solutions that put the U.S. at the center of the global economy. At a time when Democrats continue to impose heavy regulations on small businesses and emerging industries, the Trump family’s private-sector leadership signals to many conservatives that innovation and entrepreneurial spirit remain cornerstones of American success.

        Addressing Concerns, Defending Integrity

        Some lawmakers have raised concerns about the Trump family’s ongoing business activities while President Trump is in office. Eric, however, has strongly rejected any suggestion of impropriety.

        “I had nothing to do with the government. I’ve been in the private sector my entire life,” he told Nikkei Asia. He emphasized that his professional work and the administration’s leadership have remained separate, pointing out that his family has always operated with integrity, even under constant media scrutiny.

        The Trump Legacy Continues

        Eric Trump’s willingness to consider a future in politics underscores the enduring impact of the Trump brand within the Republican Party. With Donald J. Trump serving once again in the Oval Office, Lara Trump helping lead the RNC, and both sons energizing conservative audiences across the nation, the Trump family remains a political force like no other in American history.

        For many Republicans, Eric Trump’s comments serve as a reminder that the MAGA movement is not just about one presidency—it’s a generational vision of strong leadership, economic opportunity, and putting America first.

        DOJ Investigating Whether Ex-FBI Officials Mishandled Russia Investigation Docs

          The Justice Department is investigating whether former senior FBI officials mishandled classified documents that were found in a “burn bag” at the bureau’s headquarters, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to CBS News.

          The documents in question are related to the FBI’s probe into whether Russia influenced the 2016 election in President Trump’s favor. That investigation has drawn Mr. Trump’s ire for years — he’s called the allegations that Russia sought to help him win a “hoax” and a “witch hunt,” and in recent weeks, some top administration officials have claimed Obama-era intelligence leaders who looked into Russian meddling may have broken the law.

          Nobody has been criminally charged in the probe.

          The “burn bags” first entered the public discourse last month, when Fox News reported that FBI Director Kash Patel discovered thousands of Russia-related documents in bags that are typically used to hold sensitive materials that are about to be destroyed. Days later, Patel wrote on X: “We just uncovered burn bags/room filled with hidden Russia Gate files.”

          The FBI’s investigation into Russian election interference — dubbed “Crossfire Hurricane” — was opened during the 2016 campaign and continued into Mr. Trump’s first term. A probe run by Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller later found that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 election with a goal of benefitting the Trump campaign, though Mr. Trump and top campaign officials were not accused of any illegal coordination with Russia.

          A 2017 report by the U.S. intelligence community also assessed that Moscow sought to influence the election and “developed a clear preference” for Mr. Trump.

          Those findings have long been challenged by top Trump allies and by the president himself. Last month, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents that she claimed called into question the 2017 intelligence community report. 

          Gabbard accused Obama-era officials of “treasonous conspiracy” and a “years-long coup” to undermine Mr. Trump, and said she would refer the matter to the Justice Department for possible criminal investigation. Patrick Rodenbush, a spokesperson for former President Barack Obama, called the allegations “bizarre” and “ridiculous.”

          JD Vance Accuses Politico of ‘Journalistic Malpractice’

          By

          On Friday, Vice President JD Vance took to X to blast what he called “foreign influence” in a Politico report targeting Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s special envoy for peace missions and chief negotiator on Ukraine.

          “This story from Politico is journalistic malpractice,” Vance wrote, tagging Politico correspondent Felicia Schwartz. “But it’s more than that: it’s a foreign influence operation meant to hurt the administration and one of our most effective members. Notice how all of the people attacking Steve are on background? That means it’s two or three deep staters who are angry that Witkoff has succeeded where they’ve failed.”

          Vance made clear that he sees the article as an attempt not just to smear Witkoff, but to undermine Trump’s broader foreign policy success in shifting the conversation toward peace in Ukraine.

          What the Politico Story Claimed

          Schwartz’s piece, co-authored with Nahal Toosi and Jack Detsch, framed Witkoff as an inexperienced outsider whose “go-it-alone style” frustrates American, Ukrainian, and European officials. According to Schwartz, 13 anonymous sources—none of whom were willing to go on the record—painted Witkoff as someone who views the Ukraine conflict “through a real estate lens” and misses diplomatic details.

          Politico’s reporting emphasized that Witkoff has met with Vladimir Putin five times in six months but claimed those meetings haven’t led to tangible breakthroughs. The piece also alleged Witkoff sometimes appeared “uninformed or unprepared,” citing unnamed U.S. and foreign officials.

          One anonymous voice was quoted as saying, “His inexperience shines through, he has the president’s ear, which is evident, but there has been some confusion about what has been said and agreed.”

          What Politico Left Out

          Vance accused Politico of cherry-picking information to fit a predetermined narrative. He said the outlet deliberately left out quotes from him, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and senior advisor Jared Kushner—each of whom had praised Witkoff’s diplomatic efforts.

          In fact, Vance had told Politico directly: “Witkoff has made more progress towards ending the bloodshed in Ukraine than all his critics combined.” That single line was briefly included, but stripped of context and buried among anonymous complaints.

          According to Schwartz herself, the White House sent Politico a list of officials’ supportive quotes about Witkoff. Most were left on the cutting room floor.

          The Larger Pattern: Anonymous Sources and Double Standards

          The story is the latest example of the corporate media using anonymous leaks from entrenched bureaucrats to undermine Trump officials. Both Trump and Vance have criticized this practice for years, pointing out that it gives cover to partisan “deep state” operatives while denying the American people transparency.

          By contrast, those willing to speak openly—Vance, Rubio, Kushner—were ignored or minimized in Politico’s coverage. The result is a slanted article that elevates anonymous gossip over the testimony of elected leaders and senior officials.

          Why Witkoff Matters

          Steve Witkoff, a successful real estate developer and longtime Trump ally, was tapped for a unique mission: break the stalemate on Ukraine by applying Trump’s outsider approach to diplomacy. Unlike career diplomats who have presided over endless wars and gridlock, Witkoff has leveraged direct relationships, including multiple meetings with Putin, to seek pragmatic solutions.

          For Trump’s critics in the establishment, that makes him a threat. For everyday Americans who are weary of endless foreign wars, it makes him a symbol of a possible new path toward peace.

          Vance: Media Trying to Derail Peace Efforts

          Vance argued that the Politico piece is not just unfair journalism—it’s part of a deliberate effort to derail peace negotiations. “The quotes on Witkoff were meant to complicate and derail peace efforts,” he said, warning that anonymous smears serve the interests of those who profit from prolonging the war.

          Republicans have long argued that entrenched Washington interests, including defense contractors and globalist bureaucrats, benefit from keeping conflicts alive rather than resolving them. By attacking Witkoff, Vance suggested, the media is doing their bidding.

          The Takeaway

          Politico’s story highlights a familiar clash: Trump’s America First agenda—focused on ending foreign wars and prioritizing U.S. interests—versus the entrenched establishment in Washington and its allies in the corporate media.

          Vance’s defense of Witkoff signals that the White House isn’t backing down. Despite attacks from the press and anonymous bureaucrats, Trump and his team are determined to keep pursuing peace in Ukraine—an effort the mainstream media seems determined to undermine at every step

          Trump Threatens to Prosecute George Soros and His Son Over RICO Charges

          President Donald Trump took direct aim at billionaire financier George Soros and his son Alex in a fiery Truth Social post on Wednesday, accusing the pair of fueling radical left-wing unrest across the country and hinting at potential RICO charges.

          “George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America,” Trump wrote. “We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to ‘BREATHE,’ and be FREE. Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends.”

          Trump concluded with a warning: “Be careful, we’re watching you!”

          Who Are the Soroses?

          George Soros, a Hungarian-born billionaire, is one of the Democratic Party’s largest donors and has been financing progressive causes for decades. His global influence has been tied to left-wing prosecutors, liberal DA races, and activist organizations that critics say undermine law and order in American cities.

          In 2023, Soros handed control of his vast empire—including the Open Society Foundation—to his son, Alex Soros, who has pledged to continue funding progressive causes, often with an even more openly partisan edge. Alex has boasted of his close ties to the Biden White House and prominent Democrats.

          The Soros network has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into elections and activist groups, often tipping the balance in favor of left-leaning candidates. Many on the Right argue this influence has led to skyrocketing crime rates, attacks on free speech, and deepening divisions in American society.

          Trump’s threat comes less than a week after his FBI raided his foreign policy adviser-turned-critic John Bolton’s home and office as part of what he slammed as a politically motivated investigation.

          Bolton, who was national security adviser from 2018 to 2019, has often clashed with Trump since leaving the administration. The raid on his home marked a significant escalation in tensions between the former president and his one-time adviser.

          When asked about the raid, Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday that he was not informed ahead of time but expected a briefing later.

          Report: Denmark Calls On US Envoy Over Alleged Covert Greenland Interference Operations

          Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen summoned the top U.S. diplomat in Denmark over intelligence reports that Americans had conducted covert influence operations in Greenland. 

          Danish public broadcaster DR reported that at least three people with ties to the Trump administration were conducting the operations. The broadcaster cited unnamed security and government sources.

          “We are aware that foreign actors continue to show an interest in Greenland and its position in the Kingdom of Denmark. It is therefore not surprising if we experience outside attempts to influence the future of the Kingdom in the time ahead,” Rasmussen said in a statement sent to Fox News. 

          “Any attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom will of course be unacceptable. In that light, I have asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon the U.S. chargé d’affaires for a meeting at the ministry.”

          Rasmussen also emphasized that the ties between Denmark and Greenland are “close” and “based on mutual trust.”

          Earlier in his second term, President Donald Trump repeatedly spoke about seeking U.S. jurisdiction over Greenland, which is part of the Danish kingdom. In response to Trump’s remarks, both Denmark and Greenland have said that the island was not for sale.

          “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity,” Trump said in the Truth Social post.

          In late 2019, Trump said that buying Greenland, which is owned by Denmark, was “strategically” interesting, triggering an angry response from Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

          “Denmark essentially owns it. We’re very good allies with Denmark. We protect Denmark like we protect large portions of the world,” Trump said at the time.

          “Strategically, it’s interesting, and we’d be interested, but we’ll talk to them a little bit. It’s not number one on the burner,” he added.

          The U.S. does not currently have an ambassador to Denmark, leaving American diplomat Mark Stroh to serve as the chargé d’affaires. Stroh was summoned to the Foreign Ministry.

          One of the people suspected in the alleged influence operation reportedly compiled a list of U.S.-friendly Greenlanders, collected names of Trump opponents and allegedly encouraged locals to highlight cases portraying the Danish government negatively in U.S. media, according to reports. Additionally, two others are suspected of trying to create relationships with politicians, businesses and locals.

          DR cited eight sources who believe the goal was to weaken ties between Denmark and Greenland.

          The Danish Security and Intelligence Service allegedly told the outlet that it believes “particularly in the current situation, Greenland is a target for influence campaigns of various kinds.”

          In May, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said “you cannot spy against an ally” in response to reports that the U.S. was gathering intelligence on Greenland.

          Former DHS Official Concerns He Could Be Next After Bolton FBI Raid

            Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official during the Trump administration, said Saturday he believes he could be targeted next by federal investigators after the FBI searched the home of former national security adviser John Bolton.

            The search took place early Friday at Bolton’s residence in Bethesda, Maryland. The FBI confirmed it was conducting a “court-authorized law enforcement activity,” reportedly tied to Bolton’s handling of classified material.

            Taylor, who served as a deputy chief of staff at DHS, told MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart that he and his family expect he may be among the next individuals investigated.

            “When my wife and I woke up and saw the news, she basically said to me, ‘It’s coming,’” Taylor said. He suggested the Biden-era Justice Department has been pursuing political opponents and claimed a “revenge campaign” is underway.

            Taylor, who has previously accused President Trump of keeping a “blacklist” of critics, said the situation raises concerns about fairness in the justice system. “It’s not about us,” he said, referring to himself and Bolton. “It’s about the criminal justice system that all Americans expect to treat them fairly.”

            Bolton, who was national security adviser from 2018 to 2019, has often clashed with Trump since leaving the administration. The raid on his home marked a significant escalation in tensions between the former president and his one-time adviser.

            When asked about the raid, Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday that he was not informed ahead of time but expected a briefing later.

            Trump Threatens To Investigate Chris Christie

            President Trump openly confirmed he is considering launching an investigation into former ally and New Jersey governor Chris Christie.

            Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform late Sunday that Christie had lied about 2013 lane closures on the George Washington Bridge “in order to stay out of prison, at the same time sacrificing people who worked for him.” The president was referring to a decision by Christie’s associates to close access lanes to the bridge, which links New Jersey and Manhattan, in order to punish the Democratic mayor of a New Jersey town.

            “Chris refused to take responsibility for these criminal acts,” Trump wrote. “For the sake of JUSTICE, perhaps we should start looking at that very serious situation again? NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!”

            The 2013 “Bridgegate” closures created days of traffic jams, and the scandal tarnished Christie’s reputation and helped to destroy his 2016 presidential candidacy. Christie has long denied any knowledge of the plan. He could not immediately be reached for comment.

            It was not immediately clear what aspect of Christie’s Sunday appearance on ABC’s “This Week” had led President Trump to threaten him on social media.

            Christie mentioned the president by name after he was asked by the journalist Jonathan Karl whether Vice President JD Vance, who has defended the criminal investigation into Mr. Bolton, is playing a role in it.

            Christie responded by mentioning what he called the administration’s disregard for the idea of separation between the president and criminal investigations. He noted that Mr. Trump had recently described himself as the nation’s “chief law enforcement officer.”

            “Donald Trump sees himself as the person who gets to decide everything, and he doesn’t care about any separation,” Christie told Karl. “In fact, he absolutely rejects the idea that there should be separation between criminal investigations and the politically elected leader of the United States. This is much different than it’s ever been run before.”

            Watch:

            Then on Monday, he doubled down after being asked if he plans “to investigate Chris Christie.”

            “Look, Chris is a slob, everybody knows it. I know Chris better than anybody in the room. I always felt he was guilty. But what he did is he took the George Washington Bridge, which is very serious, he closed down the George Washington Bridge,” answered Trump. “And you had medical people, You had ambulances caught up. You know, this thing was closed down. And obviously he knew about it. But he blamed the young lady that worked for him, and another person, and they got into a lot of trouble. She ultimately was, I don’t know, exonerated, but she got out of it a little bit. But she went through hell. She was a young mother, nice person, I knew her a little bit. And another man went to jail. And Chris got off.”

            “And so when I listen to Chris speak his hate, I say, ‘Oh, what about the George Washington Bridge?’ You know? ‘Tell me about the George Washington Bridge.’ He blamed other people, but he knew all about it. So, no, I don’t know. If they want to look at it — not for me. — if they want look at it, they can. You could ask Pam [Bondi]. I think we have other things to do, but I always thought he got away with murder,” he concluded.

            Several members of Christie’s administration were ultimately convicted for their role in helping shut down multiple lanes of the George Washington Bridge back in 2013, though those convictions were later thrown out by the Supreme Court.

              A new report indicates that former Fox News star and current U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro declined President Donald Trump’s invitation to serve under FBI Director Kash Patel.

              The New York Times’ Glenn Thrush reported that “Late last year, after Mr. Trump tapped Kash Patel, a podcaster with scant law enforcement experience, to be F.B.I. director, his aides approached Ms. Pirro about becoming his deputy,” citing two sources familiar with the exchange.

              But Pirro, whose legal experience includes serving as a prosecutor and judge in New York’s Westchester County, turned down the role, even though she had “tried and failed to secure a top Justice Department job” during Trump’s first term.

              The reason, according to Thrush, was Pirro had “no interest” in working for Patel.

              The job ultimately went to former Fox News contributor and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino.

              On Monday, the Justice Department announced Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey will step into the Trump administration as co-deputy director of the FBI.

              Bailey, who stepped down from his role as attorney general effective September 8, will hold his newly-created position alongside current FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and serve under FBI Director Kash Patel.

              Pirro went on to take over the U.S. attorney’s office in the District of Columbia, even though she “has not run a prosecutor’s office in the iPhone era,” Thrush wrote, adding that Pirro has not made it known whether she “hopes to ascend” to a bigger role in the DOJ.

              “Like many big-shot outsiders who take on medium-shot government jobs, Ms. Pirro has been aggravated by red tape, particularly requirements that she obtain approval of other officials before taking actions she would have done unilaterally as Westchester County district attorney two decades ago,” Thrush wrote.

              Pirro’s focus so far has been on stamping out violent crime in Washington, D.C.

              On Monday, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced Nathalie Jones, 50, of Lafayette, Indiana, was arrested in the District of Columbia on Saturday in connection with making a series of threats on social media in which she threatened to kill President Trump.

              “Hi everyone, it’s Judge Jeanine. I just wanted to let you know here from the United States Attorney’s Office in D.C. that an individual by the name of Nathalie Rose Jones is now in custody, charged with two federal crimes for knowingly and willfully threatening to take the life of the President of the United States,” Pirro said in a clip she released on social media.

              “She did come from New York to Washington, D.C. and she has been threatening and calling for the removal of the president and even worse as she got to D.C. Her threats were on Facebook and Instagram and she continued to call the president a terrorist and was working to have him eliminated. She is now in custody. She will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Make no mistake about that,” Pirro said with a hint of a smile.
