Former President Donald Trump rolled out a possible new campaign slogan Saturday night at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Washington, D.C.: 'I'm being indicted for you.'
Trump headlined the conference's Saturday night gala and continued to complain about the recent federal charges brought against him for mishandling classified materials, again arguing that he was merely an ex-president 'legally keeping his own documents.'
He earned a 'USA' chant from the crowd as he proclaimed, 'I'm probably the only person in history who was indicted and my numbers went up.'
Donald Trump has lashed out at President Joe Biden following the Wagner Group mercenary uprising in Russia, claiming the crisis will benefit China.
In a post on his Truth Social network on Saturday, Trump claimed, without offering evidence, that 'Biden will do about Russia whatever President Xi of China wants him to do.'
He went on to claim, again offering no proof, that Biden and his son Hunter 'illegally took large amounts of money from both countries, but China right now is the bigger threat.'
The core of the accusation against former President Donald Trump is the allegation that he retained and mishandled classified information and national defense secrets. Special Counsel Jack Smith justified this unprecedented prosecution by citing the need to protect classified information and the rule of law. But do we really have “one set of laws in this country”? Here is a list of eight past examples of high-profile individuals who were never prosecuted for the same basic or similar allegations.
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” Fox News Contributor and George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley reacted to claims about the Hunter Biden investigation by whistleblowers by stating that while the claims haven’t been authenticated, “The problem that Garland has is that much of this investigation just doesn’t fit very well logically. They spent five years to charge violations that you could have established in the first month.”
Turley said, “Now, we haven’t been able to, obviously, authenticate this information, but what we do know is that these are people that made statements to congressional investigators under the threat of prosecution if they lie.
On Thursday, former President Donald Trump held a fundraiser for defendants prosecuted for acts in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots, at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf resort. Trump pledged to contribute his personal funds to the causes of the defendants, telling the audience:I’m gonna make a contribution also. I’m gonna make a contribution, too.
There have been few people that have been treated in the history of our country like the people that you love, like the people that have gone through so much. And in many cases, and we can never say all, we had some real bad ones there including BLM and Antifa.
Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin has confirmed he has ordered his mercenaries to halt their march on Moscow and retreat to their field camps in Ukraine to avoid shedding Russian blood.
'We are turning back our columns and leave in the opposite direction to the field camps according to the plan,' an audio message on his Telegram feed said after a meeting between Prigozhin and Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko.
Prigozhin announced that while his men were just 200 kilometers (120 miles) from Moscow, he decided to turn them back to avoid 'shedding Russian blood.'
On Friday’s broadcast of NBC’s “MTP Now,” host Chuck Todd stated that the claims from whistleblowers about the handling of the Hunter Biden investigation “look pretty credible” but the claims — which include revelations about Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China and him using ties to his father, President Joe Biden, as leverage in these dealings in China — have “nothing to do with China,” and are just about what Hunter Biden did with his businesses.
Todd said, “For the longest time, all this whistleblower talk, it was not clear whether there was there there. These transcripts, who these people were, the second whistleblower. These look pretty credible.”
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Mark Lytle, the attorney for whistleblower Gary Shapley, said that you don’t have to take Shapley’s word for it that Trump-nominated U.S. Attorney David Weiss said he wasn’t in charge of whether charges were filed against Hunter Biden because the transcript of Shapley’s congressional interview includes a contemporaneous email where IRS Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon confirms Shapley’s claim.
Lytle stated, “I would love to point people to some of the records that have just been released yesterday. Exhibit 10 to Gary Shapley’s transcript is…around page 178 of the transcript, it’s a copy of the email that Gary Shapley —
The 2020 Senate report on the Biden family business revealed Hunter Biden-linked bank accounts received $5.1 million in payments from a Chinese business partner, Henry Zhao, within ten days of just-revealed texts in which he demands payment using proximity to his father as a cudgel.
Henry Zhao, influential in forming a Chinese investment fund, had deep ties to Chinese intelligence, according to Breitbart News senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute president Peter Schweizer.
In 2017, Henry Zhao worked with Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC Energy — also linked to Chinese military intelligence.
For months the Wagner mercenary chief has bombarded Russia's military leaders with expletive-ridden rants slating and rebuking their competence in an ongoing rift that has weakened the country's forces amid its assault on Ukraine.
Now the standoff between Yevgeny Prigozhin and the defence ministry appears to have come to a head, as the millionaire mercenary group boss called for an armed rebellion in direct challenge to the Kremlin.
Prigozhin said he would take all necessary steps to topple the country's military leadership as he claimed his forces had 'crossed state borders' and were ready to 'destroy anything that gets in the way'.
The top US diplomat has held crisis talks with America's closest allies, as Russia's Wagner Group private mercenaries launched an armed rebellion against the country's leader Vladimir Putin.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a call on Saturday morning with his G7 and EU counterparts, as Wagner fighters took control of some military facilities in southern Russia and advanced toward Moscow.
'The United States will stay in close coordination with Allies and partners as the situation continues to develop,'
Russia's Wagner militia forces are headed towards Moscow on Saturday after chief Yevgney Prigozhin initiated a military coup against Putin and his regime, which has seen the group take key cities and mock the President, who called them 'traitors'.
Putin addressed the Russian people on Saturday, warning that the military leader had 'stabbed him in the back', as Moscow is on lockdown as troops dig in in preparation to defend the city.
Prigozhin and his feared 25,000-strong Wagner militia have control of the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, saying they are 'ready to die' as they vow revenge for a military strike from Putin's forces

Barack Obama never came across an event that he couldn’t politicize; the recent implosion of the submersible Titan on a dive to explore the wreck of the Titanic—which left five people presumed dead—is no exception.
As my colleague Mike Miller reported, the former president appeared on a CNN special titled “Obama & Amanpour” Thursday to blame “right-wing” media for making Americans “fearful of each other.”
But he wasn’t done; he also decided to blame the media for excessive coverage of the sub accident while not devoting equal time to another tragedy, the story of a “migrant boat” that sank off the coast of Greece last week. An unknown
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez (R) was asked by Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany on Thursday why he decided to vote for Democrat Andrew Gillum over Ron DeSantis during the gubernatorial race in 2018. Suarez, who has joined the 2024 presidential race, explained he only voted for Gillum, not endorse him. Suarez added he donated to money to DeSantis during the primary but he did not get a phone call back from the future governor.
"Well, I voted for him. I didn’t support him. I didn’t endorse him. I actually supported and gave money to Ron DeSantis
Russian mercenary group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin will move to Belarus and have criminal charges against him dropped, the Kremlin has said, after he pulled his fighters back from advancing on Moscow.
Prigozhin had earlier told his troops heading towards the Russian capital to turn back, saying he wants to avoid shedding Russian blood.
In an audio message, Prigozhin said his fighters - part of the private mercenary Wagner Group - would return to their bases.
He said that while his men were just 120 miles from Moscow, he decided to turn them back to avoid "shedding Russian blood".
National Hockey League (NHL) teams will no longer wear rainbow-colored LGBTQ-themed jerseys during pregame warmups for Pride nights.
NHL Pride Nights became a hot topic of conversation earlier this year when Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov refused to participate in his team’s Pride Night due to his orthodox Christian faith, sparking outrage from leftists who proceeded to accuse him of bigotry and homophobia. However, the Philadelphia Flyers kept him in the lineup, and the team even went on to win the game against the Anaheim Ducks.

The Roof Is Collapsing On Biden

Pretty much everyone now understands that for years, Joe Biden has been taking bribes from foreign countries and interests. Whatever influence he had in the Senate and as vice president has been peddled around the globe, often by his son Hunter. Biden’s repeated claims that he knew nothing about his son’s business dealings is absurd, given that the only business Hunter was involved in was selling Joe’s influence. The most recent blow is the WhatsApp message that Scott wrote about here.
In keeping with the Democrats’ determination to force Biden off the 2024 ticket, the embargo on news about his corruption is lifting.

Republican presidential candidate and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was booed after trashing former President Donald Trump at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference on Friday.
Christie claimed that Trump is “unwilling to take responsibility” and was swiftly met with audible disapproval from the audience.
“I’m running because he has let us down,” Christie said over loud boos from the crowd. “Because he is unwilling, he is unwilling to take responsibility for any of the mistakes he has made. Any of the faults that he has, any of the things that he’s done and that is not leadership everybody, that’s a failure of leadership.”
The White House appeared Friday to have changed its story on President Joe Biden’s role in his family’s business affairs, claiming that Biden was “not in business” with his son, Hunter.
Previously, on the campaign trail in 2019-20, Joe Biden said: “I have never discussed, with my son or my brother or with anyone else, anything having to do with their businesses. Period.” But that story appeared to change on Friday. When reporters began asking the White House to respond to accusations by an IRS whistleblower that Joe and Hunter Biden were together when the latter pressured a Chinese contact to send money, the response changed:
Hunter Biden’s slap-on-the-wrist plea deal after failing to pay taxes on millions of dollars in income, and a felony gun charge he won’t be prosecuted for, follows a long history of Biden family members running afoul of the law — and skating.“The Biden family are beginning to make the Medicis look like small-time operators,” said George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley.
“That fact that it took over five years to even secure a plea on a couple of small misdemeanors is a testament to a family that has leveraged Joe Biden public positions into a fortune of foreign influence peddling.”
The night before an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) criminal investigation team began looking into Hunter Biden’s tax crimes was set to conduct key interviews and approach Hunter for a consented search of his home, FBI headquarters allegedly tipped off “people very close to President Biden and Hunter Biden,” thwarting the investigation, according to a whistleblower testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee released Thursday.
Starting in January 2020, IRS criminal supervisory special agent and whistleblower Gary Shapley and his team of agents began investigating Hunter Biden for tax evasion after incriminating material was found on Hunter’s infamous laptop. “I am alleging, with evidence, that DOJ provided preferential treatment, slow-walked the
What’s a famous chef to do when an unhappy vegan customer makes herself an unrelenting migraine? Fed up, British-born Australian chef John Mountain told her and the rest of the vegan community to “go somewhere else” for dinner — but their beef hardly ended there.
Mountain is the well-known executive chef at Fyre, in the suburbs of Perth. He told Perth Now that “A young girl reached out to me and said she was coming to the restaurant… and asked if there were vegan options.” He explained that the lack of vegan options was his “only shortfall” at Fyre.
Nevertheless, Mountain told the woman that “I would accommodate her,
