    Authorities Apprehend Man With Weapon Outside Trump Rally

    Over the weekend, authorities arrested a man outside of Donald Trump’s rally in Coachella, California who was in possession of multiple firearms.

    Vem Miller, 49, said to Fox News that he reported the guns to authorities, which he says he always travels with despite never using them, at a checkpoint to get into Trump’s Coachella rally on Saturday evening and argued that documents Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said were fake are legit. 

    “I always travel around with my firearms in the back of my truck,” Miller told Fox News Digital in a phone interview.

    He says he has never fired them, but he started keeping them with him when he started getting death threats. 

    “I’ve literally never even shot a gun in my life,” Miller said.

    “I don’t know anything about guns. I am beyond a novice,” he continued. 

    Miller says he’s Armenian and has documents that use his full Armenian name and documents that don’t which were inside of his truck at the time, because using those documents in some places around the world could get him killed, referring to campaigns over the centuries to murder Armenians. 

    A spokesperson for the Trump campaign issued a statement to Fox News Digital and said they were monitoring the situation.

    “We thank law enforcement for securing the rally site and helping ensure the safety of President Trump. We are aware of news reports about the arrest and are currently monitoring the situation and gathering more information,” the statement read. 

    In a previous statement, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office said, “This incident did not impact the safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event.” 

    A source close to the Trump campaign also told Fox News’s Bill Melugin, and another told Fox News’ Bryan Preston, that they do not believe this was an assassination attempt on Trump.

    he was quickly released on $5,000 bail and so far, no federal charges have been filed.

    Report: Judge Agrees To Unseal Additional Filings From Jan. 6 Trump Case

    U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan agreed to unseal additional filings from special counsel Jack Smith laying out his election interference case against former President Trump

    Chutkan agreed to a request from Smith to unseal exhibits that accompany his 180-page brief asserting that prosecutors can still bring much of their Jan. 6 case against Trump in the wake of a Supreme Court decision granting former presidents broad criminal immunity. 

    Chutkan granted Smith’s motion to post redacted versions of the exhibits, which could include grand jury transcripts, texts and other evidence assembled by prosecutors.

    The Hill reports:

    “The court determines that the Government’s proposed redactions to the Appendix are appropriate, and that Defendant’s blanket objections to further unsealing are without merit. As the court has stated previously, ‘Defendant’s concern with the political consequences of these proceedings’ is not a cognizable legal prejudice,’” she wrote.

    Trump opposed both the unsealing of Smith’s motion as well as the accompanying evidence.

    But Chutkan also agreed to stay her ruling for seven days after an earlier motion from Trump’s legal team asked for additional time “so that President Trump can evaluate litigation options relating to the decision.”

    “There should be no further disclosures at this time of the so-called ‘evidence’ that the Special Counsel’s Office has unlawfully cherry-picked and mischaracterized — during early voting in the 2024 Presidential election,” Trump’s team wrote in an earlier filing Thursday.

    Report: Top Democrats Hesitant To Commit To Certifying Potential Trump Victory

    Several top Democrats, including House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), have indicated that they may not commit to certifying the 2024 presidential election results if former President Donald Trump secures a victory. This reluctance was revealed during discussions with Axios, raising questions about the party’s stance on the upcoming election certification process.

    Per Breitbart:

    Raskin denied Trump won the 2016 election when he objected to Trump’s electors in 2017.

    If Trump “won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it,” Raskin said, assuming the election was free, fair and honest. “I definitely don’t assume that,” he added. “Democrats don’t engage in election fraud and election fabrication.”

    A video surfaced in September of a panel discussion in February 2024 in which Raskin speculated that Congress would invalidate a Trump election victory, even though it could be at the risk of “civil war.”

    “It is not clear whether Raskin was actually outlining a plan of action, or rather using a hypothetical to argue that the U.S. Supreme Court was placing what he considered an undue burden on Congress to keep Trump out of office,” Breitbart News’s Joel Pollak reported.

    House Rules Committee Ranking Member Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) echoed Raskin’s concerns, telling Axios that Democrats would certify a Trump victory “assuming everything goes the way we expect it to … We have to see how it all happens.”

    McGovern also objected to Trump’s electors in 2017.

    The uncertainty among Democrats comes amid heightened political tension with 24 days until the presidential election. Raskin, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump, previously called the former president’s legacy “American carnage.”

    In response to Thursday’s development, former Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark criticized the Democrats’ position. Taking to X, Clark expressed frustration with what he sees as a double standard in how objections to election certifications are perceived:

    Do you see how this works? If you’re a Republican in Congress and you object to certifying a President, you’re called an insurrectionist. But if you’re a Democrat like Jamie Raskin, you can object all you want, and it’s “protecting our democracy.”

    Election certification has been a contentious issue since the unfounded claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential race, with Democrats consistently emphasizing the need to safeguard democracy. However, their reluctance to fully commit to certifying a potential Trump win could deepen mistrust on both sides of the political aisle.

    Harris Rally Descends Into Chaos As Attendees Suffer Medical Emergencies

      Yikes…

      Several attendees at Vice President Kamala Harris’s “extremely hot” campaign rally in Chandler, Arizona on Thursday passed out and threw up as a result of the heat.

      “It is extremely hot inside Harris’s Chandler rally,” reported Washington Post campaign reporter Dylan Wells. “Lots of calls for medics as attendees pass out, and a supporter throwing up near the press pen.”

      Before the event began, supporters of Harris could be seen lining up outside in more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit heat.

      Inside the rally, footage showed attendees frantically fanning themselves with papers and other items as they waited for Harris to take the stage.

      According to Daily Wire investigative journalist Spencer Lindquist, “Several attendees had to be escorted out by medics during the rally and appeared to be suffering from heatstroke or dehydration,” as the temperature in Chandler reached a height of 103 degrees.

      The Arizona Republic reported that Harris volunteers “walked around with cases of water for rally-goers and checked to see if they needed any medical attention, although most in line were unbothered by the heat as they made their way relatively quickly through the queue.”

      The disastrous night shows a stark comparison from an outdoor Trump rally over the summer in which attendees also waited in blistering heat.

      The event at the North Carolina Aviation Museum & Hall of Fame in Asheboro, marked the Republican presidential candidate’s first outdoor event since a would-be assassin shot and wounded him at rally in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier this year.

      A woman apparently had passed out in the stands, perhaps due to heat exposure, and Trump left the stage, where he was surrounded by bulletproof glass, to check on her.

      Emergency medical personnel were treating the woman, who looked red in the face. She was conscious at that point and holding a bottle of water.

      Trump gave her a hug, and she seemed very pleased to meet him.

      There had been calls for a medic from the crowd, which Trump had acknowledged from the stage, asking for “a doctor, please.”

      “It is very hot here,” he said.

        “He happens to be the father of Tiffany’s husband, Michael, who’s a very exceptional young guy,” Trump said. “And she’s an exceptional young woman. And she’s going to have a baby. So that’s nice.”

        Tiffany Trump, 30, is the daughter of the former president and Marla Maples. She and Boulos were married in 2022.

        Trump Denies Secret Putin Calls Made After Leaving White House

          Trump is firmly denying allegations in veteran journalist Bob Woodward’s new book.

          In his new book, Woodward claims the Republican presidential nominee has held multiple phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin since leaving office in January 2021.

          Woodward also wrote in his book, ‘War,’ that Trump agreed to secretly send Putin COVID-19 testing equipment. 

          Steven Cheung, the communications director for the Trump campaign, told The Hill in a statement that “None of these made up stories by Bob Woodward are true,” and said that Trump gave no access to the journalist for the latest book, as Trump had for past books.

          Cheung attacked Woodward’s mental fitness in the statement saying he “suffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

          The spokesperson further pointed to Trump’s lawsuit against Woodward, in which the former president seeking $50 million from the veteran journalist over his publication of tapes of interviews he conducted with Trump while he was in office between Dec. 2019 and Aug. 2020, which featured in the 2020 book ‘Rage.’

          Woodward wrote that according to Trump’s aides, there have been as many as seven phone calls between Trump and Putin since Trump left the White House in 2021, according to CNN.

          Woodward also cited Trump aide Jason Miller as not being aware of any calls between Trump and Putin, but added that President Biden’s Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines did not conclusively rule out contacts between the Russian leader and the former president. 

          “I would not purport to be aware of all contacts with Putin. I wouldn’t purport to speak to what President Trump may or may not have done,” Haines said, according to Woodward.

          Trump Reveals Details Of When Barron Learned Of Assassination Attempt

            The details are coming out…

            Former President Trump said his youngest son, Barron, was playing tennis when he learned in July that his father had been shot at a rally in Pennsylvania.

            Trump recounted the experience in a sit-down interview with Fox News’s “The Ingraham Angle” this weekend, when he returned to the site of the assassination attempt this summer. The interview will air in full Monday evening and a preview was released earlier in the day.

            “Barron was playing tennis with his friends, and somebody walked over and – ran over – and said, ‘Your father’s been shot. He’s been shot,’” Trump said in the interview preview.

            “Barron, and Barron really likes his father a lot,” Trump continued.

            “And he came in: ‘Mom, Mom, Mom, what happened?’ So, and then they saw me get up, and then they saw the fist pump,” Trump said, referring to the viral image taken just moments after he was shot of him raising his fist in the air.

            Trump returned to Butler, Pa. this weekend for the first time since the assassination attempt nearly three months ago.

            Trump, on Saturday, was joined at his return rally by several high-profile guests, including his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), Republican National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk.

            Trump Goes Off After Judge Releases Lengthy Election Subversion Case Brief

              On Wednesday, Donald Trump spoke out after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., publicly released a brief on presidential immunity from special counsel Jack Smith in the 2020 election subversion case against the former president.

              In a flurry of posts to Truth Social, Trump warned of election interference, arguing that the filing’s appearance on the public docket so close to the 2024 contest boosts a political scheme to undermine his current campaign.

              “Democrats are Weaponizing the Justice Department against me because they know I am WINNING, and they are desperate to prop up their failing Candidate, Kamala Harris,” Trump said in a post to his social media platform.

              He also questioned the timing, contending that it came “immediately” after Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz’s “disastrous” performance in the vice presidential debate and a little more than a month before the election.

              The filing was submitted under seal last week. Federal judge Tanya Chutkan was the one who ordered its release.

              Chutkan wrote Trump’s team provided “no support” to claims of “bad-faith partisan bias” and rejected the defense’s push for redactions beyond names to protect witnesses, citing the public’s “need to understand” the document.

              The 165-page filing discusses how prosecutors’ superseding indictment should be able to abide by the Supreme Court’s ruling in July that presidents have immunity for official acts.

              Melania Trump Unveils Unexpected Abortion Stance

                Former First Lady Melania Trump is breaking with her husband on a major issue: abortion.

                In a video posted on X promoting her upcoming memoir, Trump announced her pro-abortion views saying “there is no room for compromise” on the issue of women being allowed to abort their unborn children.

                Melania said she has “carried” her pro-abortion views “throughout [her] entire adult life,” a break from her husband’s pro-life record while he was in office. Her remarks on abortion come less than five weeks before the 2024 election as Democrats are focusing on the issue to motivate their base.

                Paragraphs of Melania’s memoir published by The Guardian on Wednesday go into more detail on her support for abortion.

                “Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes,” Melania writes, adding, “Restricting a woman’s right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life.”

                In her book, Melania writes about disagreements between her and her husband, including on some aspects of immigration policy, The Guardian reported. She writes that “occasional political disagreements between me and my husband” are “part of our relationship, but I believed in addressing them privately rather than publicly challenging him.”

                Trump Responds To Harris’ Debate Invite After VP Showdown

                  Not going to happen…

                  Donald Trump firmly rejected another invitation to participate in a debate against Vice President Kamala Harris before the 2024 election on Tuesday.

                  “Vice President Harris believes that the American people deserve to see her and Trump on the debate stage one more time. She will be in Atlanta on October 23 — Donald Trump should step up and face the voters,” Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement, referencing a CNN debate Harris has agreed to attend.

                  But Trump has repeatedly rejected the idea of doing another debate with the vice president. He has insisted he won their Sept. 10 showdown, despite some polling suggesting otherwise, and that it is too late for another debate with early voting underway.

                  “I beat Biden, I then beat her, and I’m not looking to do it again, too far down the line,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Votes are already cast — And I’m leading BIG in the Polls. I’ll MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, she’s incapable of it!”

                  Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance narrowly beat his Democratic opponent Tim Walz in the CBS debate on Tuesday, according to viewer polls conducted by CBS and CNN.

                  According to a poll conducted by CBS and YouGov, 42% of viewers said Vance won the debate versus 41% who said Walz was the winner. 17% of viewers said the debate was a tie.

                  An overwhelming majority of viewers (88%) said the “tone” of the debate was “generally positive,” while 12% said it was “generally negative.”

                  CNN’s poll resulted in a very similar result, with 51% of viewers hailing Vance as the winner versus 49% for Walz.

                  Walz’s performance fell short of viewer expectations, as 54% had predicted a Walz victory before the debate versus just 45% for Vance.
