Sean Hannity on FBI’s Trump Investigation: ‘Being a Felon Is Not a Disqualification’ for the Presidency

British broadcaster Emily Maitlis has warned that populism has overcome the power of the mainstream media to hold politicians to account in the wake of Donald Trump’s popularity and Brexit, and unveiled a blueprint for wrestling back control in her MacTaggart lecture Wednesday.

K.J. Yossman “Newsnight” anchor Emily Maitlis took aim at Donald Trump, the U.K. government and the BBC – her soon-to-be former employer – in a speech at the Edinburgh TV Festival on Wednesday evening. But crucially she didn’t give any insight into her infamous interview with Prince Andrew, which she is now hoping to turn into a scripted drama. “I apologise to anyone who came thinking this would be about the Prince Andrew interview,” said Maitlis, who has reportedly signed a deal with Blueprint Pictures to make a screen adaptation of the interview. “That will have to wait till next time.” While many of the attendees to Maitlis’ MacTaggart lecture were hoping she would open up about the “car crash” interview, which saw Andrew banished from public life after it aired, Maitlis instead chose to focus on the journalistic landscape, giving examples of her own interviews with former Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka as well as actor Robert de Niro.

taking classified documents from the White House without permission, possibly in violation of the espionage act? Well, now you know enough to get Morris’ jokes! On to them, then.“So you know how Donald Trump was keeping top secret files in his basement,” Morris said in the monologue. “Well, it turns out that since he left office the government has recovered more than 300 classified documents from Trump’s house.”Morris said that it was “amazing” Trump managed to do it, because, he joked, he once took a script home from “New Girl” and Zooey Deschanel “threatened to stab me with a ukulele.”Morris noted that Trump claims these documents are unclassified “because he said so, which, alright, take you word for it.

In the wider scheme of things, ongoing litigation in relation to his unapproved use of Eddy Grant’s ‘Electric Avenue’ in a 2020 campaign video probably isn’t a major cause of stress for former US President Donald Trump. But that lawsuit proceeds, and now the Grant side has got an extension to the case’s discovery phase in order to subpoena Trump’s former Deputy Chief Of Staff Dan Scavino.Grant sued Trump in September 2020 over the use of his 1983 track in an election video which, according to a description in the musician’s lawsuit, featured “a visual depiction of a high-speed red train bearing the words ‘Trump Pence KAG 2020′ in stark contrast to a slow-moving handcar bearing the words ‘Biden President: Your Hair Smells Terrific’”.No one had sought permission to use ‘Electric Avenue’ in that video, hence the copyright infringement lawsuit.

would “consider” testifying if asked, and Cheney confirmed that there have been discussions with his counsel, who seem to be on that same page.“I think, you know, look, he played a critical role on Jan. 6,” Cheney told Karl. “If he had succumbed to the pressure that Donald Trump was putting on him, we would have had a much worse constitutional crisis.

Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen is pretty sure that people are overthinking things when it comes to criminally charging Donald Trump. In Cohen’s view, the twice-impeached former president needs to be treated like Al Capone and convicted for his more “simple” crimes.Cohen appeared live on “CNN Newsroom With Jim Acosta” on Saturday to discuss the ongoing investigations — plural — into his former client.

Alec Baldwin stated that the “only time” he was “worried” about the consequences of the fatal “Rust” movie set shooting, was after former President Donald Trump weighed in on the tragedy. Implying that his physical safety was in danger, Baldwin claimed that Trump had “instructed people to commit acts of violence” on January 6, and now “he was pointing fingers at me.”CNN “New Day” aired Baldwin’s interview with CNN entertainment reporter Chloe Melas on Friday, where they discussed the fallout from the tragic shooting on the Hollywood set of the movie “Rust.”Baldwin maintained during his interview that he didn’t pull the trigger, telling Melas, “I never once said – never – that the gun went off in my hand automatically. I always said I pulled the hammer back, and I pulled it back as far as I could.

Alec Baldwin told CNN that he worried about his own safety after comments made by former President Donald Trump in the aftermath of the shooting on the set of Rust.

Alec Baldwin feared for his life last year after Donald Trump publicly suggested that the actor intentionally shot and killed Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust."While rehearsing a scene for the now-shelved indie-western, Alec pointed a gun at Halyna. Unbeknownst to him, the gun was loaded when it discharged. Halyna's death has been ruled accidental. Shortly after the incident, Trump, who's no fan of Alec's, theorized on a podcast that the actor loaded the gun himself.

Alec Baldwin is opening up about his fears of being killed by a deranged supporter of Donald Trump in the wake of the tragic shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust”.

Jared Kushner’s awaited book, “Breaking History: A White House Memoir,” is released this month. It shows some of his memories and experiences while in the White House, as one of Donald Trump’s senior advisors.

Alec Baldwin thought about calling it quits in Hollywood following the fatal  shooting in October 2021. He also feared for his safety from former President Donald Trump's supporters.The embattled 64-year-old actor opened up about those subjects in an extensive CNN interview, telling the news organization that he leaned heavily on his wife, Hilaria, for support amid the fallout from the fatal shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza.Baldwin said since the shooting, he's lost five jobs.

WFLD.The person claims to have voted for Trump three times in the 2020 election because “Chicago has a relaxed voting system.” The officer also appeared to advocate for armed insurrection, claiming that American cities “are not worth fighting for.”“I’ll leave here and shoulder a rifle in the woods if it ever comes to that,” the user wrote.That same user started a new thread on Tuesday asking for more questions, this time including a photo of an obscured police ID and a gay slur in the title. Asked about racial profiling, the user replied: “I don’t pull over anyone white.”The user also cited an interracial kiss as “the most serious crime” they overlooked while on the job, using the n-word in the response.The user’s postings were brought to the department’s attention after someone reached out to the Civilian Office of Police Accountability on Monday to complain about the incendiary postings.Jennifer Rottner, a spokeswoman for the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, said the agency received the complaint and forwarded it to the police department’s Bureau of Internal Affairs.Maggie Huynh, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Police Department, confirmed that an investigation has been opened, but would not comment further.The 4chan message boards have become widely regarded by many as a breeding ground for racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, and other forms of political extremism.

Martin Short was in peak form Thursday as he roasted just about everyone to within an inch of their life on “The Tonight Show.” That included host Jimmy Fallon, who Short “revealed” as a member of the Proud Boys, as a well as a good friend of the Saudi Crown Prince.Appearing on the show in support of his hit series on Hulu, “Only Murders in the Building,” Short began his interview by saying how good it was to see Fallon again. Apparently, the last time the two comedians saw each other was at Donald Trump’s Saudi-funded golf tournament earlier this Summer.“Who knew that you and the Crown Prince were such buddies?” Short marveled.

Martin Short gave Jimmy Fallon a good roasting.

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.

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.

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.
