Mike Pence is being told to testify.

Twice-impeached former president Donald Trump hasn’t been arrested yet, but Jimmy Fallon is pretty sure he’s starting to feel the heat. During Monday night’s episode of “The Tonight Show,” Fallon joked that the location of Trump’s first official 2024 campaign rally was the clearest sign of that.On Saturday, Trump stopped in Waco, Texas to make his first official campaign bid to the people and, as always, his speech was full of lies and gripes about how he’s being treated unfairly.

Twice-impeached former president Donald Trump hasn’t been arrested yet, but Seth Meyers is glued to his phone waiting for the pictures from when he is. Of course, it’s more than just about wanting to see Trump held accountable; Meyers also really wants to see if Trump’s arms can get into the position they need to be in for him to be handcuffed.Meyers was on vacation last week, meaning he wasn’t on the air to cover Trump’s claims that he’d be arrested last Tuesday.

Over the weekend, Donald Trump hit the campaign trail to give a headline-making speech in Waco, Texas — picked, apparently, because it’s currently the 30-year anniversary of the standoff between federal law enforcement and the Branch Davidian cultists that ultimately ended with the deaths of 86 members of the cult.Jimmy Kimmel noticed the significance of the date, not only by snarking that Trump is signaling “he’s going down in flames and he’s taking his cult followers with him,” but also bestowing Trump with a new nickname: Kanye West Wing. Get it?“The other Kanye — Kanye West Wing — had a rally this weekend,” Kimmel said during his monologue. “In Waco, on the 30th anniversary of the siege that claimed the lives of 86 people there.”“You know if it happened now, he would side with the Branch Davidians.

Megyn Kelly, in Monday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” revealed that Florida governor and likely 2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has been turning down her requests to interview with her on the program – because, she said, “he’s afraid.”“I will say, we did ask Ron DeSantis to come on the show. He has not said yes, and I find that very interesting,” Kelly began, noting that the politician previously sat with Piers Morgan for an interview. “I love Piers Morgan.

Ana Navarro may be no fan of Donald Trump, but she still thinks the twice-impeached former president is right about one thing: he gets to take credit for Ron DeSantis’ governorship.Navarro’s thoughts came as the hosts of “The View” discussed Trump’s campaign rally in Waco, Texas, on Monday morning. Though the women largely scoffed at what Trump had to say — moderator Whoopi Goldberg even went so far as to call him the “most violent snowflake I’ve ever seen” — Navarro honed in on one smaller bit.“I did rallies for Ron that were massive rallies. And they were very successful,” Trump said.

“Meet the Press” interview Sunday with Donald Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina quickly turned tense, as the lawyer dodged questions about the insults the former president has thrown at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who may soon file criminal charges against him. “Mr.

Donald Trump vehemently denied that he had an affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels as he faces a potential indictment for paying money to keep their affair quiet. The former president decried New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg for investigating the payment and criticised the US Department of Justice.

New York Post wrote a scathing editorial on Friday about Donald Trump, with a cover headline that calls the former president “deranged” and “bat hit crazy.”The editorial centers on Trump’s past behavior and reaction to the current real possibility of indictment in the criminal case he’s facing in New York related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels, with Trump warning of “death and destruction” should that happen.“He hasn’t changed in the slightest. There is no shame,” the editorial board wrote.

New York Post.“I think he’s hostile to the United States, but I think the thing that we’ve seen is he doesn’t have the conventional capability to realize his ambitions,” DeSantis said of the Russian president. “And so, he’s basically a gas station with a bunch of nuclear weapons and one of the things we could be doing better is utilizing our own energy resources in the U.S.”After the 2022 midterm elections McCain expressed her support for DeSantis, calling Trump a “narcissist” and a “cancer.”GROW.

Jimmy Fallon is as frustrated waiting for something to happen, or not happen, with Donald Trump’s legal situation as a lot of you likely are, and in his monologue on Friday’s “The Tonight Show,” he compared it to it when someone goes into labor and then 4 days later still hasn’t had the baby.Fallon got to that joke by running through several of Trump’s more recent outbursts. “I don’t know if you guys saw this, but late last night Trump threatening the Manhattan District Attorney, saying that if he’s charged, ‘death and destruction’ could follow.

skyrocketed by a staggering 21,655%, as a possible criminal indictment against former President Donald Trump looms, according to data shared exclusively with The Post. The case is connected to a $130,000 payment to Daniels made ahead of the 2016 election to cover up an alleged 2006 affair she had with the former president.Searches for Daniels on the porn site cleared the 467,000 mark on Tuesday, dwarfing her daily average of around 2,150 searches for the quarter.Searches for Daniels soared as Trump shared on Truth Social that he would be arrested in Manhattan imminently, followed days later by declaring himself, among other things, the victim of “the Stormy ‘horse face’ Daniels extortion plot.” With the grand jury failing to reach a decision on an indictment this week, searches dipped to just 243,544 on Thursday.

Melania Trump is reportedly keeping to herself and avoiding any talk of her husband’s legal woes as a New York prosecutor considers whether to indict former president Donald Trump over falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments he made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in the waning days of his 2016 presidential campaign. According to People, Ms Trump isn’t interested in commiserating with her husband and is instead focused on a small, close-knit group of friends and family, including her 17-year-old son Barron Trump.

previously calling on his supporters to protest and “take our country back” ahead of his possible indictment and arrest, Donald Trump stepped up his incendiary rhetoric on Friday, warning that there will be “potential death & destruction” if he is charged with a crime. “What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting President in history, and leading candidate (by far!) for the Republican Party nomination, with a Crime, when it is known by all that NO Crime has been committed, & also known that potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country?,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Officials in New York are reportedly considering indicting Trump, which Kimmel said has him screaming in all caps on Truth Social.“Today, he demanded the removal of every top official investigating him. The special council Jackson Smith, the Atlanta district attorney, the Attorney General Letitia James.

Melania Trump is reportedly happy being at Mar-a-Lago but angry at Donald Trump over all of the Stormy Daniels drama and his possible indictment.

Will this porn star affair really be the thing that brings Donald Trump down? After Teflon Don has (personally) evaded legal consequences for any number of criminal investigations? Paying hush money to Stormy Daniels is the thing that’s going to get him his first indictment??

Piers Morgan and Donald Trump have locked horns after the former US president branded the presenter ‘ratings-challenged. ’The scathing remarks came ahead of the former Good Morning Britain presenter’s interview with the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, 44, which will be broadcast in full on Thursday.

With an indictment possibly looming for Trump’s alleged hush money payment to Stormy Daniels, another one of the investigations into the twice-impeached former president appears to have taken a turn he might not like. And at this point, Al Franken feels for Trump’s lawyers — especially considering the fact that this development indicates Trump lied to them.According to ABC News, the investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents — one of at least five investigations into the man — has recently started leading to the conclusion that Trump “knowingly misled his attorneys so that they would file a sworn statement last June that he knew was false.”“Can you imagine being a lawyer for Donald Trump, and finding out he set you up?” Franken joked on “The Daily Show” on Wednesday night.

James Corden poked fun at Donald Trump on The Late Late Show – claiming that he is “guilty as sin” after the former president declared that he was going go be arrested.Trump is facing criminal charges in Manhattan related to an investigation into a $130,000 (£106,000) payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, reports BBC News.Over the weekend, Trump announced on Truth Socialthat he would be arrested on “Tuesday of next week,” without revealing further context on why the arrest would take place.Speaking on his talk show, Corden jokingly said: “You know it’s bad when a former president announces that he’s going to be arrested and the general response is: ‘For which crime’?“So if you’re keeping track, that’s two times Stormy Daniels has screwed Donald Trump.” New York City has reportedly been bracing for a violent protest similar to the January 6 ‘insurrection’ riots, after Trump told his supporters to “take our nation back.”“Of course Trump is going to urge his supporters to protest in New York,” Corden continued. “Like what else is he going to urge them to do?.

New York Times report that former president Donald Trump is telling friends and associates that getting arrested would be a “fun experience,” “Morning Joe” hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough agreed that he’s just “talking big,” despite being “horrified.”“Trump, for his part, is reportedly downplaying his predicament behind closed doors,” panelist Willie Geist said in his intro to the report. “According to the New York Times, the former president has told friends and associates he welcomes the idea of being paraded around by the authorities, as long as he’s surrounded by the media.”To this, Brzezinski audibly sighed over Geist’s continued set-up.

private texts of him denouncing former president Donald Trump were released earlier this month as part of Fox News’ ongoing lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems, Carlson addressed the damning messages Tuesday in conversation with conservative host Bo Snerdley on WABC Radio.“I love Trump,” Carlson said, later adding that he was “humiliated” at the time and “enraged” that his private texts were aired out for all to see. You can listen to the conversation below via MediaMatters.“I spent four years defending his policies and I — I’m going to defend them again tonight,” Carlson said of Trump on Tuesday. “And actually, and I’m pretty straight forward, I’m — I love Trump.

Despite his claims that it would happen, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump was, in fact, not arrested on Tuesday — but, there is some movement expected to come from the grand jury on Wednesday, and Jimmy Fallon couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that, of all days, Trump might get indicted for paying off an adult film star on Hump Day.The “Tonight Show” host went on a tear about Trump’s possible arrest on Tuesday, first joking that it was being delayed just so “the courtroom sketch artist has enough time to load up on orange pencils.” Fallon also joked that the event is so highly anticipated, “Right now in Times Square, Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen are hosting the indictment countdown.”“Yeah, Trump will be formally charged tomorrow for his hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, ironically on … Hump Day,” Fallon said with a shrug. “Yeah I didn’t plan that! I didn’t plan that.” While it’s not a guarantee that an indictment will come Wednesday, many expect it will simply because that’s when the grand jury is convening again and, at this point, all that’s left to do is decide whether criminal charges are necessary.This case is just one of many ongoing investigations into the twice-impeached former president, and stems from a $130,000 payment made to Stormy Daniels in 2016.

Of course, by now you know Trump wasn’t arrested. Reports indicate that if he’s arrested at all, it won’t be until next week. Now, back to Kimmel.“Thank you for joining us on a cold and rainy and what was supposed to be a very bigly day today,” Kimmel said as he kicked off his monologue.

passionately,” Tucker Carlson remains, publicly, one of Trump’s biggest media allies. So it comes as no surprise that the star of Fox News’ primetime lineup is very, very opposed to the idea of Donald Trump being arrested.But on Tuesday Carlson had a highly idiosyncratic hope for how Trump might be saved from legal accountability: Help from President Joe Biden. Now as a reminder, on Saturday, as part of a larger ALL CAPS rant on his Twitter clone, Truth Social, about various things that make him angry, Trump claimed that we would likely be arrested on Tuesday (today).

You may have heard Donald Trump is going to be arrested this week. The person saying that is, of course, the least credible person in this entire business — the former POTUS himself.

Reporting by DailyMail. com says that when news broke of the hush money payments to the adult film start in early 2018, Ms Trump left her husband President Donald Trump, and spent nights away from the White House at a Washington, DC hotel.

With the now very real threat of indictment looming over twice-impeached former President Donald Trump, Republicans are once again circling around him and defending him — including Nikki Haley. And considering she’s actively campaigning against her former boss, Alyssa Farah Griffin was baffled by this move Tuesday on “The View.”To kick off the day’s Hot Topics, the hosts played a supercut of GOP figures supporting Trump, including Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley. “When you get into political prosecutions like this, it’s more about revenge than it is about justice,” Haley said.

Following former president Donald Trump’s call for protests over the weekend under the presumption that he will be arrested Tuesday, New York City and the NYPD have been put on guard for protestors and potential violence in the case of an indictment from the Manhattan DA. But for those Trump supporters who do decide to protest over the former president’s alleged hush money scandal involving adult film star Stormy Daniels, “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough issued a warning Tuesday: “It’s pretty simple: Break the law, go to jail,” adding that those who “screw with the NYPD” will get a “one-way ticket to Rikers.”“Morning Joe” had the former secretary of Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson, join the panel Tuesday to discuss the Jan.

As twice-impeached former president Donald Trump faces a possible indictment for alleged hush money paid to Stormy Daniels, “The Daily Show” guest host Al Franken joked on Monday night that really, the whole situation is just “another failed Trump business venture.”In case you’ve somehow missed it, here’s the short version: in 2016, Stormy Daniels received $130,000 from former Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen. Cohen has testified in court that that money was given to the adult film star to cover up an affair she had with Trump, at the instruction of Trump himself.
