Nancy Pelosi Responds to Trump FBI Raid at Mar-a-Lago: ‘No One Is Above the Law’

Randy Rainbow comes for both sides of the aisle in his newest parody song. But in the end, the real message is for Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice: “Get your s— together” and criminally charge Donald Trump.Of course, the video kicks off much the same way all of Rainbow’s songs do; he comes for the right first. This time, instead of taking on his usual persona of an anchor for “Fake News Channel,” Rainbow fills in for Liz Cheney, presiding over the Jan.

Allen Weisselberg is pleading guilty.

“And yes, it is saying something about the GOP that the brave stance was, ‘Don’t hang the vice president.’ But still. She stood by it,” he said, reminding the audience that there were only 10 Republicans in the House who voted to impeach Trump.

Allen Weisselberg, the longtime chief financial officer for the Trump Organization, pleaded guilty on Thursday to 15 charges related to tax fraud and evasion.

said about the House Minority Leader on Tuesday’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” show premiere. “He is a failed leader who has absolutely nothing more than his own power in his mind, and he resurrected Donald Trump.”Kinzinger, who Wagner recalled was one of McCarthy’s “protégé’s,” noted that McCarthy is a “good politician” but now views him as “too cowardice” to stand up against the former president.“I knew he was a very good politician and he is, he goes with the wind, he goes where it’s gonna take him to higher power, he knows everybody’s name, he knows something about you,” Kinzinger said, noting that their relationship began before Trump entered the political arena.When he did, though, the tides changed as Kinzinger observed McCarthy work on Trump’s agenda.“It’s not just about differences of opinion — we need differences of opinion in this country — but it’s about swallowing authoritarian moves, destroying the constitution and changing how we respect government,” the congressman said, “and I saw him working on behalf of Trump for that, and not lead.”While Kinzinger noted that he and Liz Cheney would continue speaking out against Trump, he said that “Kevin McCarthy is the one that people would listen to.” “He’s a leader and he’s too cowardice to do it, and people need to recognize that” he continued.“If he’s ever around a mirror, I can’t imagine that’s easy to look unless he’s just that cold and calculated,” the Illinois congressman concluded.

her concession speech, Cheney reminded her supporters that she was fully aware of the political risk she took for her career by not supporting Trump and his 2020 election lies, but that she simply couldn’t compromise herself to do so. “No house seat, no office in this land, is more important than the principles we’ve all sworn to protect,” she said.Elsewhere in her speech, Cheney offered harsh criticisms for continued Trump supporters, and worried for the party as a whole. And to that, Scarborough readily agreed.“If somebody listening to that speech – and listen to those words – thinks that Liz Cheney is being melodramatic, well, they aren’t having the conversations I’m having with friends and family members and people who used to be in Liz Cheney’s party and mine.

This week, former U.S. senator and “SNL” vet Al Franken is guest-hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and since his whole thing is the intersection of comedy and politics, you can guess his monologue on Tuesday’s show was mainly about politics.In particular, he had some pretty good zings about the investigation of Donald Trump concerning the disgraced former president’s potential violations of federal laws concerning top secret information. Even if one of the jokes referred to something that feels so relatively long ago it didn’t quite land with the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” audience until he reminded them.Franken also talked about how much he dislikes Texas Senator Ted Cruz, the extent to which Trump lost the 2020 election badly, and more.

These stars are proud supporters of the Republican Party (BANG Showbiz)The 'Carrie' author is puzzled that some continue to support Trump but thinks "most people" are well-intentioned, regardless of their political views. Stephen said: "So, I don't really understand the people who continue to support him, but I do understand that a guy driving a pickup covered with Trump and NRA stickers – you know, 'take my rifle when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers'- would stop and pick up a stranger if he was in a rainstorm and say, 'Where are you going, buddy?'" King also claimed that is "easy to overestimate" the rise of fascism in the United States.

retrieved classified documents from his Mar-a-Lago estate.During an appearance on CNN, host Don Lemon quoted Cohen as previously saying that “with the walls closing in around [Trump], his next move is to find a scapegoat.” Asked to elaborate on what he meant, Cohen was happy to oblige.“I believe the next scapegoat is going to be Rudy-Colludi Giuliani,” the attorney said. “Everybody likes a bargain, but Donald Trump really likes a bargain, and I believe that Rudy is like a BOGO — buy one get one half-off.”Cohen added that he thinks Trump and his allies are prepared to “throw [Giuliani] under the bus” for both the FBI’s investigation of the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and the current investigation in Georgia related to whether or not the former president violated the law in an effort to flip the 2020 election results.“They’re just gonna keep pointing the finger,” Cohen said.Lemon and Cohen also discussed the number of excuses that Trump has given so far for the documents at Mar-a-Lago.

Donald Trump may still be making outrageous headlines even after his presidency, but Jimmy Fallon doesn’t mind it too much. In fact, the late night host applauded the twice-impeached former president for always keeping his scandals “feeling fresh and new.”Fallon’s sentiments came during his “Tonight Show” monologue, as he discussed the latest updates in the ongoing investigation into Trump following the raid of Mar-a-Lago, in which authorities seized 11 sets of classified documents.

“The Daily Show” star Trevor Noah became the latest TV host Monday night to weigh in on the quickly snowballing phenomenon that is the Trump Espionage Denier movement. In trademark fashion, Noah boiled the denials down to four excuses, saying the reasons being drummed up for the former president’s absconding of a top-secret document trove should be vetted with a healthy dose of laughter.“You know, what’s been the most fun?” Noah asked. “The most fun in all of this is how Trump and the red caps are working so hard to invent new excuses for why this crime wasn’t a crime.

said Monday morning that former President Donald Trump should call “for an end to the violent rhetoric” against the FBI.“With all of these threats going around, it would ultimately be great if the former president, who has always been a great supporter of law enforcement and who has posed with 1000 police departments coast to coast,” Doocy said on “Fox & Friends,” “it would be great if he called for an end to the violent rhetoric against federal law enforcement and, in particular, the FBI that was just doing their job.”The plea comes just a day after Trump attacked the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago residence in a frenzy on Truth Social, a social media app backed by his media and technology company. In the messages, the former president complained that “the whole World was watching as the FBI rummaged through the house, including the former First Lady’s closets (and clothing!), alone and unchecked,” and repeated the unsubstantiated claim that the FBI planted information.In response, Doocy called for a de-escalation of the threats directed at federal law enforcement as a result of the discontent felt by many supporters of the former president.“It would be great for everybody to tamp down the rhetoric against the FBI because the FBI was simply doing what the DOJ asked them to do,” Doocy said.

Naman Ramachandran “It” and “The Shining” author Stephen King has made his views on former U.S. President Donald Trump clear.In an interview with the Sunday Times, where he was in conversation with “Pointless” presenter Richard Osman, King said: “I happen to think that Trump was a horrible president and is a horrible person. I think he actually engaged in criminal behavior and, certainly, I felt that he was a sociopath who tried to overturn the American democracy not out of any political wish of his own but because he could not admit that he had lost.”When asked about the rise of fascism in the U.S., King said: “There is a strong right wing, a political right wing in America, and they have a megaphone in some of the media.

Man, some days the wheels of justice move so slowly you can’t even tell if the engine is on. Some weeks, though, the wheels spin so fast it’s like you’re watching a Fast & Furious movie. Only the crimes are even more outrageous.

Donald Trump wants the world to know why FBI agents raided Mar-a-Lago — and now it sounds like he’s going to get EXACTLY that!

The FBI descending on former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property, searching it and removing at least a dozen boxes on Monday, continued to fascinate “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert during his second-to-last show of the week.On Thursday, Colbert once again dove into the topic that has been featured in at least three of his monologues so far.“As we continue to learn more details about the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago earlier this week, it does not look good for former president Velveeta Voldemort,” Colbert said, opening his show with his latest nickname for Trump.“The former president and his minions have tried to play the victim card here saying, ‘Why he’s just a simple country club owner, and that this whole investigation is a nothing burger,’” Colbert said, doing a slightly Southern accent. “But it’s beginning to look like the investigation is a ‘Something Royale with Cheese.’ Now I’m not gonna get my hopes up.

“Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough is pretty curious about Donald Trump’s mob connections after the former president said in 2016 that only “the mob takes the fifth” – then proceeded to plead the fifth more than 400 times in a deposition this week.In a scheduled deposition in New York on Wednesday – pertaining to a different investigation than the one that led to a raid of Mar-a-lago this week – the twice-impeached former president invoked his Fifth Amendment rights and declined to answer any questions from the state’s attorney general.Though the Fifth Amendment is a right anyone can invoke so as not to self-incriminate themselves or incriminate loved ones, Trump’s decision to do so met heated backlash, considering his past thoughts on the practice. Pulling up the receipts, “Morning Joe” showed several of those moments in which Trump expressed distaste for the amendment.“You sit there Mika and you listen to it, and he goes ‘Fifth Amendment, fifth –’, you know, what’s he doing? Well obviously, he was practicing!” Scarborough said after the footage.As co-host Mika Brzezinski continued to contextualize the footage, she noted that Trump pleaded the fifth more than 400 times during that deposition, leading to a gobsmacked Scarborough.

plead the fifth amendment during a scheduled deposition with the New York Attorney General. Like many others, the late night host pointed out the apparent hypocrisy, considering the twice-impeached former President previously pondered why anyone who is innocent would exercise their right to protect themselves against self-incrimination.“Yes, Donald, if you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?” Noah said, adding that Trump has really gotten himself into some hot water lately.
