Donald Trump came out swinging under aggressive questioning for CNN's Kaitlan Collins' by refusing to say he lost the 2020 election and defending his supporters' actions on January 6th.
He later said he would only accept the 2024 results if they are 'honest' after railing against the 'rigged' 2020 election.
In the first 30 minutes of the town hall, he former president blamed Nancy Pelosi for not securing the Capitol on the day of the riot and even pulled out notes of old tweets he posted that day.

Disney+ subscriptions experienced a steep drop off during the first three months of 2023, with the woke streaming service losing a whopping 4 million customers globally. Overall, Disney’s streaming business continues to bleed money with no sign of profitability in sight.
While most of the Disney+ losses resulted from the end of the Hotstar deal in India, the streamer posted an unexpected loss of 300,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada as more consumers wake up to Disney’s relentless push of transgender and drag queen content in its entertainment for children.
CNN anchor Jake Tapper said at his network’s town hall it was “offensive” that the audience laughed at former President Donald Trump’s comments on E. Jean Carroll.
Tapper said, “We don’t have enough time to fact check every lie he told, but he started off with the election one and, boy, he really just never let that bone go.”Co-host Dana Bash said, “And it’s pretty clear the evidence is now out there that he is going to continue to tell that lie,
President Trump appeared at a live CNN town hall event on Wednesday evening.
CNN’s leftist host Kaitlan Collins moderated the town hall.
CNN is famous for planting questions in the crowd during their town halls.At one point in the town hall President Trump was asked if he will pardon the January 6 rioters that were convicted.

CNN faced backlash from opponents of former President Donald Trump for hosting him in a town hall on the network Wednesday, charging that they gave him a stage.
“CNN should be ashamed of themselves,” lamented socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). “They have lost total control of this ‘town hall’ to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim. The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host.”
CLAIM: During CNN’s Wednesday town hall with Donald Trump, moderator Kaitlan Collins claimed there have been “more than 200 mass shootings in 2023.”
VERDICT: False, as long as one adheres to the standard definition of a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more individuals were killed by one attacker in one incident.On May 7, 2023, Breitbart News noted that President Joe Biden made the same claim as Collins, and on May 8, 2023, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeated it.
Such claims have become popular with the left
Donald Trump warned the U.S. faces a 'day of infamy' and is about to overrun with 'tens of thousands of migrants' when Covid-era powers expire on Thursday.
'The border is a disaster,' the former president said. 'I built hundreds of miles of wall and I finished it. I started another hundred miles of wall and then—we had a rigged election.'
He said that migrants had been sleeping rough in New York's Central Park because shelters were so overcrowded.
Trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney has said she has been having trouble sleeping since a backlash erupted over her partnership with Bud Light and questioned the psychological effects of being called a man thousands of times a day.
Her comments came during an episode of the 'Dear Schuyler' podcast, hosted by trans athlete Schuyler Bailar and which released on Monday.
Mulvaney suggested that as the trans debate in the US has escalated, transphobia has become increasingly blatant, resulting in an inhospitable 'wild west' for trans people.
Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday on CNN’s town hall that “unless you’re a very stupid person, you see” the 2020 presidential election was “rigged.”
Host Kaitlan Collins said, “Polls show that you are dominating the Republican race right now, but you are also under active federal investigation for trying to overturn the 2020 election results,” she said, referring to a probe into Trump’s actions after the election. “Your first term ended with a deadly riot at the Capitol, and you still have not publicly acknowledged the 2020 election result. Why should Americans put you back in the White House?”
Donald Trump blasted CNN's Kaitlan Collins' as a 'nasty person' when she pressed him on why he had classified documents in his possession, slammed writer E. Jean Carroll for her rape accusation, refused to say he lost to Joe Biden and defended the January 6th rioters.
The 70-minute town hall was tense from the start and raced from topic to topic at breakneck speed. Neither Trump nor Collins - who famously sparred when he was president and she was a White House reporter - gave an inch, engaging in repeated back and forths on a number of subjects.

Former President Donald Trump steamrolled CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during Wednesday’s Townhall event in New Hampshire, dismissing her politically biased and outdated questions, effectively reducing her role as the moderator by speaking directly to the audience about the “gotcha” topics a visibly irritated Collins continually posed throughout the night.
The highly anticipated townhall event, teased by Trump, boded well for the former president, despite Collins’s attempt to begin the event with a series of contentious topics and arguably outdated leftist narratives — from the 2020 election results to January 6 to accusations in the E. Jean Carroll case. Notably, Trump received a standing ovation at his introduction.
Former President Donald Trump said during his CNN town hall event Wednesday that he would likely pardon a “large portion” of those serving prison sentences for the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot if elected president.
Wayne Beyer, a retired attorney from New Hampshire, asked Trump, “Will you pardon, then, January 6 rioters who were convicted of federal offenses?”“I am inclined to pardon many of them. I can’t say for every single one because a couple of them probably they got out of control,” Trump said.

Vladimir Putin’s annual Victory Day parade in Moscow meant to showcase Russia’s military might failed to impress Tuesday, with critics poking fun at the lone World War II-era tank that was seen rolling forlornly through Red Square.
The event celebrating Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany in 1945 was a drastically pared-down affair compared to years past, featuring a mere 8,000 soldiers — the lowest number since 2008. Even the procession in 2020, at the height of the COVID pandemic, featured some 13,000 soldiers. Last May, more than a month into the invasion of Ukraine, 11,000 troops took part in the parade.

President Joe Biden told a creaky joke about the 'thin walls' of his childhood home and got a laugh from a crowd in Westchester County.
He made the odd comment in a speech in Valhalla, New York where he blasted the Republican negotiating position and said it risked running the U.S. into default.
'We lived in a three bedroom split level home in a housing development that was a nice area that was when they were developing suburbia,' Biden recounted.
The financial firm HSBC has officially downgraded the stock of Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI) to a “hold” amid growing concerns that backlash against the company’s partnership with a transgender social-media influencer, Dyland Mulvaney, continues to hamper sales.

The FBI did not comply with the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena compelling the production of an FBI document that a whistleblower alleged describes as a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national and relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., subpoenaed the FBI for the document, which is an FBI-generated FD-1023 form after a whistleblower alleged that the FBI and Justice Department were in possession of it and claimed it detailed an "alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions."

Jason Chaffetz, the former chair of the House Oversight Committee, responded to the latest allegations against Joe and Hunter Biden from House Republicans Wednesday morning on FOX News:
JASON CHAFFETZ: This is corruption at the highest level, to not only enrich the Biden family en masse, but also corruption that is an intelligence security risk for the United States of America.
If you look at the money and size, particularly in China, we are talking about people with direct ties to the highest levels of the Chinese government where Hunter Biden is involved and engaged in securing, for instance, one of the biggest cobalt mines in the world.
The sheer magnitude of Biden family corruption uncovered by the House Oversight Committee can only be described as breathtaking. It is also deeply alarming. If the fruits of Chairman James Comer’s investigation are exactly what they appear to be, Joe Biden may have jeopardized our nation’s security by selling out America for cold hard cash. Documents show that over $10 million in foreign money flowed like a river into more than 20 shell companies and LLCs created for the Bidens’ financial benefit, said Comer. Much of it was then surreptitiously shuffled around various accounts before it landed in the hands of nine members of the president’s family.
A recent Washington Post headline labels the month-long torrent of attacks among left-of-center media and Senate Democrats "The polite struggle to do something—anything—about Clarence Thomas."
The claim, now ubiquitous on the Left, is that the Supreme Court Justice has been bought by billionaire businessman Harlan Crow and has filed false federal financial disclosure forms to cover up the fact. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) have called for a Justice Department investigation of Justice Thomas.
The only place these lies may be considered "polite," however, is the all-white beach and sailing clubs frequented by the Whitehouses.
The Department of Justice coincidentally decided to arrest New York GOP Rep. George Santos on money laundering and other charges on Wednesday at the same time House Republicans held a press conference revealing damaging evidence about the Biden family’s corrupt, foreign business ventures.
On Tuesday, the DOJ filed charges against Santos in the Eastern District of New York. While originally under seal, the 13-count indictment unveiled Wednesday morning shows the DOJ charging Santos with “seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives.”
All roads lead to Romania, according to a recent report by the House Oversight Committee that revealed Joe Biden received foreign funds from Romania during his time in office as vice president.

Dear Colorado residents,
With all due respect, what the hell is going on with your public schools? Altitude sickness? Last week, your largest teachers’ union passed a resolution declaring “Capitalism inherently exploits children, public schools, land, labor, and resources.” (That was ratified on Lenin’s birthday, no less.)
Today, we learn that families have filed a suit against Wellington Middle School and the Poudre School District for luring 6th graders to a phony after-school “art club” that was “actually a gender and sexuality awareness club,” according to one mom.

When it comes to gas prices, there has been plenty to complain about since Old Joe Biden began his president act. There have also been numerous indications that aside from the alleged president’s fact-free boasting, the Biden regime actually likes high gas prices, as they help them push their green agenda. Another sign of the regime’s actual view of rising gas prices came when Old Joe tabbed Jared Bernstein to be chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. Like you and me, Bernstein has complained about gas prices. But unlike us, Bernstein thinks they’re too low.

Tlaib was set to appear on Wednesday at the Capitol Visitor Center alongside several anti-Israel advocacy groups for an event dubbed "Nakba," a Palestinian phrase purportedly related to the "catastrophe" of Israel's 1948 establishment, according to an event invitation. However, McCarthy is now taking over the space for a pro-Israel event and called out Tlaib for attempting to use federal grounds for her event, which has come under fire this week.
Republicans are digging in on over $10 million received by Biden family members from foreign actors, including previously undisclosed $1 million in Romanian-linked payments, and a 'web' of 20 companies created while President Joe Biden was vice president and pushing anti-corruption efforts abroad.
On Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Republicans led by Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., released a 'Second Records Memorandum' that expands on information it received from subpoena returns as the committee continues its investigation into the Biden family's business practices.
Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., is threatening to oppose all of President Biden's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) nominees over an expected regulation targeting power plant emissions. Manchin, who chairs the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, blasted the Biden administration for aiming to shut down fossil fuel-fired power plants regardless of the impacts on the nation's power grid. The Democratic lawmaker argued that neither the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law or Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), both of which he supported, gave the EPA authority to regulate power plant emissions.
Banking and other records made public Wednesday by House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) depict a complex money laundering scheme involving millions of dollars, many from foreign countries, given to President Joe Biden and nearly a dozen members of his family.

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. — U.S. Rep. George Santos, the New York Republican infamous for fabricating key parts of his life story, was arrested Wednesday on federal criminal charges ahead of an expected court appearance.
The indictment says Santos induced supporters to donate to a company under the false pretense that the money would be used to support his campaign. Instead, it says, he used it for personal expenses, including luxury designer clothes and to pay off his credit cards.
Santos also is accused of lying about his finances on congressional disclosure forms and applying for and receiving unemployment benefits while he was employed as regional director of an investment firm
The Biden family and its business associates created a complicated web of more than 20 companies, according to bank records obtained by the House Oversight Committee — a system GOP lawmakers say was meant to conceal money received from foreign nationals.
Sixteen of the companies were limited liability companies formed during Joe Biden’s tenure as vice president, the committee said in a press conference on Wednesday. The Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received more than $10 million from foreign nationals’ and their related companies, the records show. These payments occurred both while Biden was in office as vice president and after his time in office ended.
The Biden family business over the course of several years received over $10 million from business schemes in Romania and China in return for what appears to be influence peddling, bank documents obtained Wednesday by Breitbart News from the House Oversight Committee show.
In total, Biden family members and business associates designed a web of over 20 companies, many of which were formed during Joe Biden’s vice presidency, the committee revealed.

When the U.S. makes it difficult for people to enter the country illegally, fewer people make the journey north to try. When the U.S. sends signals that people will be able to cross the border even without permission, and potentially remain here for years, more people attempt to do so.

As with the others, it shows Tucker when he’s not seated at his desk speaking to the audience but is, instead, conversing with those around him, whether in person, on the phone, or via text.

According to a report to be released Wednesday by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, multiple former U.S. intelligence officials testified under oath about the CIA’s involvement in the distribution of the letter, which was eventually signed by more than 50 former senior U.S. intelligence officials.
