    Trump Calls To Impeach Democrat Leader Over Supreme Court Comments

    President Donald Trump is turning up the heat on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries — and floating a move that isn’t even constitutionally possible.

    In a fiery Truth Social post Sunday night, Trump demanded to know why the New York Democrat isn’t being impeached after branding the U.S. Supreme Court “illegitimate” over its latest Voting Rights Act ruling.

    “Hakeem Jeffries, a Low IQ individual, said our Supreme Court is ‘illegitimate.’ After saying such a thing, isn’t he subject to Impeachment?” Trump wrote. “I got impeached for A PERFECT PHONE CALL. Where are you Republicans? Why not get it started? They’ll be doing this to me! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

    The post quickly ignited backlash — and confusion — since members of Congress aren’t subject to impeachment under the Constitution. Instead, lawmakers can only be expelled by a two-thirds vote of their chamber.

    Still, Trump’s message was clear: he wants Jeffries gone.

    The clash comes days after the Supreme Court’s 6–3 decision striking down Louisiana’s second majority-Black congressional district, ruling it was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.

    Chief Justice John Roberts described the district as a “snake” drawn along racial lines, while Justice Samuel Alito called the map an “unconstitutional gerrymander” and framed the ruling as an “update” to how courts interpret the Voting Rights Act.

    Trump praised the decision, calling it the “kind of ruling I like.”

    Jeffries, meanwhile, unloaded on the high court.

    “Today’s decision by this illegitimate Supreme Court majority strikes a blow against the Voting Rights Act and is designed to undermine the ability of communities of color all across this country to elect their candidate of choice,” he said.

    “It’s an unacceptable decision, but not an unexpected decision,” Jeffries added. “Because this isn’t even really the Roberts Court. It’s the Trump Court.”

    He also accused the ruling of helping Trump “scheme to suppress the vote and rig” upcoming elections.

    Trump wasn’t having it — and fired back with his impeachment call, even as constitutional reality undercuts the demand.

    Jeffries brushed off the attack with a short jab of his own on X: “Jeffries Derangement Syndrome,” a play on Trump’s long-used “Trump Derangement Syndrome” line.

    The ruling has sparked outrage across liberal media circles, with commentators like Al Sharpton, Abby Phillip, and legal analyst Paul Butler slamming the decision and arguing it shows the court does not “respect” the rights of minority voters.

    But for Trump, the focus isn’t the ruling — it’s the rhetoric.

    And he’s making it clear he wants Republicans to escalate the fight.

    Trump’s demand — even if constitutionally misplaced — comes at a time when expulsion threats are no longer theoretical on Capitol Hill.

    Just weeks ago, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) resigned from Congress as sexual misconduct allegations mounted and colleagues began weighing an expulsion vote.

    “I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members,” Swalwell said at the time. “Expelling anyone in Congress without due process… is wrong. But it’s also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress.”

    Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) stepped down the same week under similar pressure, with both lawmakers facing potential removal by their colleagues.

    Most recently, Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) announced she is resigning from the House of Representatives after Republicans vowed to force a vote to expel her from the chamber for committing a bevy of violations involving financial misconduct. 

    “Rather than play these political games, I choose to step away so I can devote my time to fighting for my neighbors in Florida’s 20th District,” she wrote on social media. “I hereby resign from the 119th Congress, effective immediately.”

    “This fight is far from over,” Cherfilus-McCormick, who was indicted by a grand jury last year for allegedly stealing COVID-19 emergency funds, added in her statement. 

    The House Ethics Committee found “clear and convincing evidence” in March that the Florida Democrat misused federal disaster relief money that was improperly paid to her family’s healthcare company, among other misconduct. 

    She is facing 53 years in prison as part of a separate criminal indictment.

    Rudy Giuliani Hospitalized In Critical Condition

    Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was hospitalized Sunday evening and is in stable condition, according to his spokesperson, though early reports described his situation as critical.

    Ted Goodman, a spokesperson for Giuliani, confirmed to Fox News that the 81-year-old was receiving treatment at a Florida hospital.

    “Mayor Rudy Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition,” Goodman said. “Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he’s fighting with that same level of strength as we speak.”

    Goodman did not disclose the specific hospital or the cause of Giuliani’s hospitalization.

    Hours after news of the hospitalization broke, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to defend his longtime ally and place blame on political opponents.

    “Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition,” Trump posted Sunday night. “What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats ALL — AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING! They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. So sad!”

    Giuliani, a Republican, served as New York City’s mayor from 1994 to 2001, becoming a national figure in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. His leadership during the crisis earned him the nickname “America’s Mayor,” and he was later named Time magazine’s Person of the Year.

    In the years that followed, Giuliani remained active in Republican politics, most notably serving as a personal attorney to Donald Trump during his presidency. He also became a central figure in efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election, drawing both strong support from allies and significant legal and political scrutiny from critics.

    The latest health scare comes amid years of legal battles and public controversy for Giuliani, who has continued to maintain his innocence and defend his role in post-election efforts.

    As of Sunday night, no further details about his condition or prognosis had been released.

    Ex-Charlie Kirk Security Chief Sues Candace Owens

    A former top security aide to slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk is taking Candace Owens to court — accusing the firebrand commentator of pushing wild conspiracy theories that ruined his reputation.

    Brian Harpole, who served as Kirk’s security chief the day he was assassinated at Utah Valley University last September, filed a defamation lawsuit Thursday claiming Owens falsely accused him of being involved in the killing.

    According to the complaint, Owens “falsely accus[ed] Brian Harpole of conspiring to assassinate Charlie Kirk,” amplifying baseless claims that he was tied to a shadowy plot involving the U.S. government.

    “Owens is the most high profile spreader of baseless Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories,” the lawsuit states. “Her actions have encouraged and emboldened…others to jump on the Charlie Kirk conspiracy bandwagon.”

    Harpole’s legal team points directly to Owens’ public comments — including claims that Kirk’s security team was “shady” and suggestions that Harpole attended a secret pre-operation meeting at a U.S. Army base the day before the shooting.

    The lawsuit flatly rejects that claim.

    “The claim that Harpole was present at Fort Huachuca…is verifiably false,” the complaint reads, noting travel records place him in Dallas at the time — with no evidence he ever accessed the base.

    Owens didn’t stop there.

    In a December post on X, she questioned whether Harpole had been truthful about what happened in the chaotic moments after Kirk was shot, even asking whether anyone from his team had called 911.

    She later requested an “off the record discussion” with Harpole — a request he ignored — before continuing to discuss him on her podcast for weeks, according to the filing.

    Now, Harpole says the damage is real.

    The lawsuit alleges he has lost business opportunities, suffered severe emotional distress, and seen both his personal and professional reputation take a hit.

    “All of Owens’s statements are either false on their face or create a false meaning,” the complaint states. “It is simply false that Harpole knew Charlie Kirk was going to die or was involved in the planning…of the assassination.”

    Owens, for her part, is not backing down.

    Addressing the lawsuit on her podcast Thursday, she brushed it off — and even suggested it could work in her favor.

    “This will give me the power of subpoena,” she said, questioning why Harpole never demanded a retraction or responded to her outreach before filing suit.

    On X, she added another jab: “It’s certainly an interesting claim that Brian Harpole is losing clients/contracts because of me—and not like, you know, how his last job ended.”

    The lawsuit marks the latest legal headache for Owens, who has also faced litigation tied to comments about French First Lady Brigitte Macron.

    Meanwhile, the case against Kirk’s accused killer is still unfolding.

    Authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson days after the shooting, alleging he confessed to his father. He now faces charges including aggravated murder, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty.

    But the case has hit complications.

    Robinson’s defense team is pushing to delay a key May hearing, citing a mountain of evidence — including a recent ATF ballistics report that was deemed “inconclusive” on whether a bullet fragment came from the rifle allegedly used in the attack.

    They’ve also pointed to DNA from multiple individuals found on items at the scene, arguing further testing is needed.

    Prosecutors insist that doesn’t change the case.

    “When the results…come back as inconclusive, that means only that the fragment did not contain enough detail,” a spokesperson said.

    As the criminal case grinds forward, Harpole’s lawsuit opens a new nuisance — one that could drag Owens into a high-stakes legal battle over just how far commentary can go before it crosses the line.

    Trump Reveals Top Democrat Asked To Hug Him After Dinner Shooting Chaos

    President Donald Trump revealed in a “60 Minutes” interview that a prominent Democrat approached him for a hug in the chaotic aftermath of the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner — a moment he described as unexpectedly unifying.

    Speaking with CBS’ Norah O’Donnell, Trump said the night took a dramatic turn just as he was preparing to deliver a speech aimed at the press.

    “I was going to hit them really hard, with humor,” Trump said, noting the event was ultimately scrapped due to the security scare. “But I couldn’t do it. I would’ve had to just get up there and say, ‘I love you all.’”

    Instead, the evening became something far different.

    “There was love in the room. It was amazing. There was love in the room,” Trump said.

    According to the president, even longtime political adversaries softened in the moment.

    “Democrats that truly can’t stand me were saying, ‘Sir, could I just shake your hand?’” Trump said. “I’m leaving, and I’m seeing high-level people, and they’re saying, ‘Sir, great job.’”

    Then came the moment that stood out most.

    “One of them said, ‘Could I hug you?’” Trump recalled with a laugh. “A big politician on the other side. There was love. It just all came together. It was very amazing to see. It was a very beautiful thing — at a non-beautiful moment.”

    The chaos erupted Saturday night when a suspect, identified as Cole Allen, rushed a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton and opened fire. A Secret Service officer was struck in his bulletproof vest and survived. Allen was quickly apprehended and now faces multiple felony charges.

    Video released late Thursday by U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, shows the 31-year-old suspect pacing a hallway on April 24, before returning the following evening and sprinting through security while heavily armed.

    The gunfire forced the evacuation of Trump, his Cabinet, and attendees. The annual dinner has since been postponed, though Trump said he pushed to keep it going.

    “I fought like hell to have it continue,” he said, adding that the event will likely be rescheduled within the next month.

    In the immediate aftermath, Trump struck an unusually conciliatory tone toward the media.

    “This was an event dedicated to freedom of speech that was supposed to bring together members of both parties with members of the press — and in a certain way, it did,” he said during a press briefing. “I saw a room that was totally unified. It was, in one way, very beautiful.”

    For one night, at least, Trump said the divisions in Washington briefly gave way to something else.

    And it came with a hug.

    Hunter Biden’s Ex-lawyer Ordered To Pay Former Trump Aide

    Hunter Biden’s wealthy attorney pal Kevin Morris — long dubbed his “sugar brother” — has been ordered to cough up $50,000 to a former Trump aide after a legal saga that dragged on for years and fizzled out.

    A California Superior Court judge ruled that Morris must pay Garrett Ziegler and his nonprofit Marco Polo to cover legal costs, closing the book on a bizarre dispute tied to the infamous Hunter Biden laptop.

    The case centered on a 2022 phone call in which Morris believed he was speaking to a Democratic strategist about the laptop. But things took a strange turn when he later received an image of a squid alongside the message “NOTHING IS BEYOND OUR REACH” and the name “Marco Polo” — tipping him off that something was off.

    Morris accused Ziegler of being behind the call and slapped him with a laundry list of claims, including harassment, impersonation, and emotional distress. But the case unraveled when Morris couldn’t prove Ziegler was actually on the other end of the line.

    Ziegler’s attorney, Jennifer Holliday, told Fox News the outcome hardly makes up for the drawn-out fight.

    “It’s not really how I envisioned it would play out, and I don’t think that’s how the Constitution envisions that something like this would play out — which is why we filed a petition with the Supreme Court of the United States to review,” Holliday told Fox News Digital.

    “I certainly hope that they will take a really hard look at what happened here because this is not a situation that should have ever happened,” she added.

    Holliday is now urging the Supreme Court to take a closer look at California’s anti-SLAPP law — meant to protect free speech — arguing it actually dragged out what she sees as a flimsy case.

    Not everyone is buying the high court push. A source familiar with Morris’ side dismissed the ruling as procedural and said the odds of the Supreme Court stepping in are slim, noting Ziegler’s team had originally sought as much as $300,000.

    Meanwhile, Holliday pointed to what she says was a glaring hole in Morris’ claims: zero proof.

    “There was no phone number that was ever presented to the court, to the Court of Appeal, to me, in discovery, anywhere,” Holliday said.

    Ziegler didn’t hold back either, blasting Morris as an enabler of the president’s son.

    “Morris is the one responsible for all the bull—- that Hunter pulled over the last couple years,” Ziegler said, referring to the millions Morris reportedly loaned Hunter Biden — including covering rent, buying his artwork, and even funding access to a private jet.

    Morris has reportedly shelled out around $6.5 million to support Hunter Biden’s lifestyle and legal troubles.

    The Hollywood lawyer has also dipped into politics, donating $29,900 to former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s failed gubernatorial bid — a campaign that collapsed amid sexual assault allegations.

    Swalwell, a vocal defender of Hunter Biden on Capitol Hill, reportedly met with Morris multiple times during congressional probes into the Biden family’s business dealings.

    Now, with the case finally over, Ziegler’s team is ready to press forward if Morris doesn’t pay up — already securing a debtor’s exam request to force compliance within 30 days.

    Multiple People Indicted Following Assault of Turning Point USA Journalist

    A federal grand jury has indicted two individuals in connection with the April assault of journalist Savanah Hernandez, marking a significant development in a case that drew national attention after video of the incident circulated online.

    The attack took place on April 11 near the Whipple Federal Building, where Hernandez, a reporter affiliated with Turning Point USA, was covering events on the ground. Footage later shared on social media appeared to show her being surrounded by a group, shoved, struck, and knocked to the ground during the confrontation.

    According to reports from Fox News, the indictment remains under seal, and authorities have not yet publicly confirmed the identities of those charged. Hernandez stated that she had been informed two individuals would face charges and expressed appreciation that the case is moving forward.

    Readers should note that at least one assailant that Hernandez identified after the fact was also involved in the storming of a St. Paul church in which demonstrators interrupted a service because a member of church leadership was believed to be employed by Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE).

    In the aftermath of the incident, Hernandez said she experienced physical symptoms including a headache and neck pain. She has also publicly identified individuals involved in the altercation, including an influencer father and daughter duo Chris and Paige Ostroushko that go by Minnesota Angry Man and Minnesota Angry Daughter, though they both appeared to scrub their social media presences following the altercation.

    Additional video that surfaced days after the attack appears to show moments leading up to the confrontation, including the father directing his daughter to retrieve and use a whistle near Hernandez before the situation escalated, depicting what appears to be a premeditated assault. Medical sources note that close-range exposure to loud noises, such as a whistle blown directly into the ear, can pose significant risks of hearing loss.

    The case drew attention from federal officials shortly after the footage gained traction online, including Harmeet Dhillon, who indicated that the Department of Justice was monitoring the situation.

    While details remain limited as the legal process unfolds, the indictments signal that federal authorities are pursuing charges tied to the incident. The case is likely to continue drawing scrutiny as more information becomes public and court proceedings move forward.

    This incident comes months after Charlie Kirk was assassinated on a Utah college campus while exercising his First Amendment Rights, almost exactly a year after pro-life influencer Savannah Hernandez was assaulted mid-interview, and shortly before a third assassination attempt on Trump’s life

    Bongino Reveals How He Left Traps Within FBI To Root Out Media Leakers

    Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is pulling back the curtain on what he says was a deeply divided bureau — and the tactics he used to expose internal “snakes.”

    Speaking on the “Hang Out with Sean Hannity” podcast, Bongino described an FBI split between agents committed to the mission and others he believes were actively undermining it from within.

    “There were two FBIs trying to help you solve the A, B and C problems, and that’s FBI one and FBI two,” Bongino said in the episode released Tuesday.

    According to Bongino, one side of the bureau was filled with professionals he respected deeply — including agents working in Violent Crimes Against Children (VCAC) units and violent crime fugitive task forces.

    But the other side, he warned, was far more troubling.

    “And then you had this other FBI,” Bongino said, adding, “which was populated with, to say, unfortunately, ‘snakes’ is being nice.”

    A Hidden Divide Inside the Bureau

    Bongino explained that one of the biggest challenges he and FBI Director Kash Patel faced was figuring out who could be trusted — and who couldn’t.

    The problem, he said, wasn’t always obvious.

    “You’re trying to figure this out, and you’re asking someone for advice, you’ve only been there a couple weeks, and you don’t know if that person is part of the good FBI or the bad FBI,” Bongino said.

    Even recommendations from within the bureau sometimes backfired.

    “It happened a couple times where they’d say, ‘Oh, you can trust John Smith.’ And you trust John Smith, and then a week later you see a leak in the media and you’d be like, ‘I’m pretty sure that came from John Smith,’” he added.

    How Bongino Flushed Out Leakers

    To combat internal leaks, Bongino said he turned to a simple but effective strategy: setting traps.

    He described deliberately sharing small, harmless — or “innocuous” — details about his schedule with select individuals, then watching to see if that information surfaced in the media.

    When it did, it pointed directly to the source.

    “It was like we would play this little game,” Bongino said.

    The tactic allowed him to identify individuals he believed were leaking sensitive information, even as he acknowledged the broader difficulty of navigating an agency he viewed as internally fractured.

    A Mission to Restore Trust

    Bongino joined the FBI in March 2025 with a stated goal of restoring integrity and public trust in the bureau. He served for nearly a year before departing in January 2026.

    At the time of his appointment, he made clear what he saw as the stakes.

    “My promise to you is that I will work tirelessly to help restore integrity, eliminate political bias, and ensure the FBI remains dedicated to its core mission of protecting the United States and upholding the Constitution,” Bongino said.

    Now back in the public arena, Bongino is offering a firsthand account of what he describes as a battle inside one of the nation’s most powerful institutions — and the methods he used to confront it.

    Former FBI Director Expected To Turn Himself In Today

    Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to turn himself in today in the Eastern District of Virginia, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke to ABC News.

    The arrest warrant was issued by a grand jury in the Eastern District of North Carolina, though it remains unclear whether the Justice Department sought the warrant as part of the initial indictment.

    The new charges stem from a controversial social media post Comey shared last year—one that President Donald Trump and members of his administration have claimed amounted to a threat against the president.

    In a now-deleted Instagram post, Comey shared an image of seashells arranged to display the numbers “86 47,” alongside the caption: “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.”

    The post quickly drew backlash from Trump allies, who pointed to the slang meaning of “86” as “to nix” or “get rid of,” arguing it could be interpreted as a veiled threat against Trump, the 47th president.

    According to the three-page indictment, Comey faces one count of making threats against the president and successors, and one count of transmitting a threat in interstate commerce.

    Prosecutors argue the post rises to the level of a criminal threat, writing that it constitutes a message that any “reasonable recipient who is familiar with the circumstances would interpret as a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States.”

    Legal experts note prosecutors may face a significant hurdle in court. The Supreme Court ruled in 2023 that proving a “true threat” requires demonstrating that the individual understood their statement would be perceived as threatening. The widespread use of the phrase “86 47” among critics of the Trump administration could complicate that argument and raise broader First Amendment questions.

    The latest case comes after a separate indictment last year in which Comey was accused of lying to Congress and obstruction related to his 2020 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. That case was ultimately dismissed after a judge found issues with the legitimacy of the prosecutor who brought the charges.

    Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche pushed back on suggestions that the case was politically driven.

    “Of course not, absolutely, positively not,” Blanche said on “CBS Mornings” when asked whether President Trump directed him to pursue charges against Comey. “This is something that has been investigated for nearly a year now, and the results of that investigation is that a grand jury returned an indictment.”

    Comey is expected to appear in federal court following his surrender.

    Justice Department Indicts Former FBI Director James Comey- Again

    Former FBI Director James Comey is back in the legal crosshairs—again.

    Two sources familiar with the matter tell CNN that Comey has been hit with a second indictment under President Donald Trump’s Justice Department, though the exact charges remain unclear.

    The move marks a dramatic revival of a case that had seemingly collapsed just months ago.

    Last September, federal prosecutors accused Comey of lying to Congress about his role in leaking information to the press. But that case was tossed out by a judge, who ruled the prosecutor behind it had not been properly approved by the Senate.

    Now, the effort is roaring back to life.

    Sources point to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche as the driving force behind the renewed push—accelerating legal action in cases Trump has long demanded.

    Trump has repeatedly argued that political opponents—especially Comey—played a central role in what he calls the “weaponization” of the justice system against him.

    Judge Greenlights Maurene Comey Lawsuit Against Trump DOJ

    Maurene Comey just scored a courtroom victory — and it keeps her legal fight against the Trump Justice Department alive.

    A federal judge on Tuesday greenlit the former Manhattan prosecutor’s lawsuit over her sudden firing, rejecting an effort to bury the case inside a government review board.

    The Justice Department had argued Comey needed to take her complaints to the Merit Systems Protection Board — a little-known agency that handles federal worker disputes. But Comey’s lawyers warned that route would’ve been a dead end.

    U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman wasn’t buying it.

    In a 27-page ruling, the Obama-appointed judge said Comey’s case belongs in federal court because it raises constitutional issues tied to presidential power — not just a routine workplace dispute.

    “The Court finds that Comey’s claims are not of the type Congress intended to be reviewed within that scheme because it would deprive her of meaningful judicial review, her claims are wholly collateral to the CSRA’s review provisions, and her claims — which raise fundamental constitutional questions — fall outside of the MSPB’s traditional expertise,” Furman wrote.

    Fired Without a Word

    Comey — a longtime prosecutor in the powerhouse Southern District of New York — says she was abruptly canned last summer with zero explanation.

    That raised eyebrows inside one of the nation’s most elite U.S. attorney’s offices, where she had spent nearly a decade handling headline-grabbing cases involving Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Sean “Diddy” Combs.

    But it’s her last name that’s drawing the most attention.

    Comey claims she was fired “solely or substantially because her father is former FBI Director James B. Comey, or because of her perceived political affiliation and beliefs, or both.”

    Her father, of course, is the same James Comey who clashed with Donald Trump and was fired as FBI director in 2017 — making him a longtime target of Trump allies.

    Politics at Play?

    Judge Furman hinted there may be something to those claims.

    He noted that “in the spring of 2025, prominent supporters of President Trump began to call for her ouster based on that connection,” and that she was terminated shortly thereafter.

    That timeline could become a major battleground as the case moves forward.

    Bigger Fight Ahead

    The ruling doesn’t mean Comey wins — not even close. But it does mean her case won’t be quietly handled behind closed doors.

    Instead, it heads into federal court, where the Justice Department could be forced to explain exactly why she was fired.

    At stake: a bigger question that’s been simmering for years — how much power a president should have over federal prosecutors, and whether politics ever plays a role in those decisions.

    One thing’s certain: the Comey name is back in the headlines — and this fight is just getting started.
