    CNN plays tape of Trump appearing to show off classified military documents

    Special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election is honing in on a bizarre Oval Office meeting during the last days of his administration, according to a report.

    CNN reported that investigators have questioned multiple witnesses about the December 2020 meeting that included former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, and former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne.

    While the months-long investigation appears to be heating up, Mr Trump’s co-defendant in his federal criminal case appeared in court on Thursday. Longtime aide Walt Nautapleaded not guilty to charges of assisting Mr Trump in concealing classified documents from the government.

    This came nearly a month after Mr Trump was arraigned on the 38-count federal indictment accusing him of unlawfully retaining national defence information and obstructing justice.

    Mr Trump campaigned in Iowa on Friday during which he awkwardly vowed to deny entry to the US to all “communists and markers” — though presumably Sharpies are OK.

    On Saturday, he headed to Nevada to rally with potential primary voters at a volunteer recruitment event in Las Vegas.

    Newsom urges DoJ to investigate Florida over ‘unconscionable’ transportation of migrants

    California Gov Gavin Newsom has called on the Department of Justice to investigate Florida’s transportation of migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard last year.

    Mr Newsom, a Democrat and regular antagonist of Gov Ron DeSantis (R-FL), sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland calling on the DOJ to investigate the transportation of migrants that Mr DeSantis touted ahead of his re-election campaign.

    Trump vows to keep ‘communists and markers’ out of the US

    Donald Trump fumbled his words while speaking at his largest campaign event in Iowa on Friday.

    The former president appeared in Council Bluffs in the western part of the state that hosts the first caucus in approximately just over five months.

    Speaking about immigration, Mr Trump was relaying a campaign promise to deny entry to leftist ideologues when he accidentally referred to them as “communists and markers” rather than Marxists.

    Biden heads to Europe with a king and a war on his agenda

    President Joe Biden leaves on Sunday for Europe, where he will spend four days in three nations tending to alliances that have been tested by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

    The first stop is London, where Biden will meet with King Charles III for the first time since his ascension to the throne. After that is the centerpiece of the trip, the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania. Alliance leaders will debate the war and revise plans for dealing with Russian aggression.

    The final stop is in Helsinki, where Biden is expected to celebrate the expanding alliance, with Finland as the newest member of NATO.

    His national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said the trip would “showcase the president’s leadership on the world stage.”

    A look at Biden’s agenda and the issues he will face:

    Trump hits out DeSantis fundraising and teases about debate participation

    Three more post-lunch Truth Social missals from Donald Trump on the 2024 campaign trail today, both attacking Ron DeSantis.

    In the first, the former president claims DeSantis’s donors have fled “do [sic] to his terrible, and still falling, poll numbers”.

    Ron DeSanctimonious is desperately trying to get out of the Presidential race, while at the same time saving face for 2028, where he has been greatly damaged. Jeff Roe, Ron’s boss despite having a terrible record of winning, is spending money like a wild man gone bad. Much of the money being used was raised for his Gubernatorial race, and transferred over (illegally?) because his Presidential donors have largely fled do to his terrible, and still falling, poll numbers. Ron is just wasting time!

    In the second, he says that DeSantis’s top political strategist believes the Florida governor should drop out of the race and then teases that he may — or may not — take part in the Republican Party primary debates.

    Steve Cortes, the Ron DeSanctimonious top political strategist, thinks that Ron should get out NOW, while the getting is still good. He also said (thank you Steve!) that Donald J. Trump is the best Presidential debater ever, and can’t be beaten at the debate game. Well, based on that, maybe I should enter the debates - But, then again, when you have a 40 to 50 point lead over the field, maybe I shouldn’t???

    He adds that he would rather go head-to-head with Mr DeSantis.

    Despite Fake News protestations to the contrary, I do better one on one against Ron DeSanctimonious than I do with a field of candidates, large or small. Personally, I don’t think it matters. MAGA!!!

    Trump feels need to point out that obvious cardboard cutout of him is cardboard cutout

    Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday afternoon to make it clear that a photo circulating of January 6 defendant Taylor Taranto standing with a cardboard cutout of the former president was indeed a cardboard cutout and not actually him.

    This picture is a “cardboard cutout” of me put out by the Fake News Media and probably supplied to them by Deranged Jack Smith and the Department of Injustice for purposes of Election Interference. Weaponization of “Justice” is the new way that the Radical Left Democrat Lunatics will CHEAT in the 2024 Presidential Election. WE WILL STOP THEM!!!

    Mr Trump linked to a Gateway Pundit article that features the photo prominently at the top. It appears to come from one of Mr Taranto’s social media accounts and is clearly him at an event, holding a glass of red wine and standing with a cardboard cutout of the former president.

    Christie says Trump took secret documents so he could keep pretending he was president

    While Mr Trump’s former secretary of defence Mark Esper said he thought the former president may have kept the documents to further his own financial well-being in some way, Mr Christie had his own theory to put forward...

    Iowa GOP sets date for 2024 caucus

    Iowa Republicans have voted to hold their first-in-the-nation caucuses on 15 January 2024.

    This is the earliest start to the presidential nominating process since 2012, when caucusgoers gathered on 3 January.

    The State Central Committee of the Iowa GOP met today and voted unanimously for the date.

    Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann issued the following statement in response: “The Republican Party of Iowa is proud to announce that we will officially hold our 2024 First-in-the-Nation Caucus on January 15, 2024.

    “After our state legislature and governor took needed action earlier this year to preempt Iowa Democrats’ plans to derail the Iowa Caucus by running a de facto primary election instead, we are also proud to affirm that Iowa will continue to honour our half-century-old promises to the other carve-out states.

    “We remain committed to maintaining Iowa’s cherished First-in-the-Nation Caucuses, and look forward to holding a historic caucus in the coming months and defeating Joe Biden come November 2024.”

    Raskin says he's not running for open US Senate seat

    Maryland Rep Jamie Raskin, a congressman from the suburbs of the nation’s capital, announced Friday he will not run for the US Senate seat that is opening with the retirement of Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland.

    Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., left, testifies during a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing on what Republicans say is the politicization of the FBI and Justice Department and attacks on American civil liberties

    (AP)

    Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Reform Committee who is in his fourth term, had been weighing a run for the rarely open Senate seat but said in a statement on Friday evening that he would instead seek reelection in the House.

    Raskin announced in April that he had completed chemotherapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with a 90 per cent prognosis of no relapse and that his cancer was in remission. It was the second time Raskin had been diagnosed with cancer. He previously battled colorectal cancer in 2010.

    Raskin, 60, played a leading role in recent years as House Democrats twice impeached then-President Donald Trump and investigated Trump’s role in the January 6 insurrection. He was the lead impeachment manager when the House impeached Trump one week after the attack.

    So far, Rep David Trone and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks have announced candidacies for the Democratic primary for the Senate seat. Montgomery County council member Will Jawando also is running.

    Trump inadvertently reveals he’s never been to a Dairy Queen in viral video

    Former President Donald Trump has inadvertently revealed that he’s not a frequent visitor of the ice cream chain Dairy Queen. During a stop at a Dairy Queen in Iowa, Trump appeared perplexed by requests for a Blizzard — the most famous item on the ice cream store’s menu. “Everybody wants a Blizzard. What the hell is a Blizzard?” Trump asked while throwing his hands in the air, prompting laughter from the crowd. The Blizzard is a soft-serve ice cream treat blended with a variety of toppings and has been a mainstay of the ice cream chain since 1985.
