Trump files to block Kamala Harris from accessing Biden war chest as Musk U-turns on $45m pledge: Latest news

The speech is Netanyahu’s fourth joint address to Congress. Netanyahu, the longest-serving prime minister in Israel’s history, received an uproarious applause. In the same way, he was flanked by many senior members of Congress and Senators. The speech comes as much of the international community has turned against Israel as it has conducted its war against Hamas after the terror group launched a surprise attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people.

Donald Trump was watching FBI director Christopher Wray’s testimony regarding the attempt on his life today and rather than noting the revelations regarding the shooter’s drone, research, or any other new information, he found another focus… Joe Biden.

Here’s what the former president wrote on Truth Social about the boss of the bureau (whom he appointed):

I watched the Congressional Hearing today as Christopher Wray was asked the question whether or not he noticed any Cognitive Degeneration in his many conversations with Crooked Joe Biden and, despite the fact that Special Counsel Robert Hur said, effectively, that Joe Biden is INCOMPETENT, with LITTLE MEMORY, etc., Wray said that “it is not something I observed during my interactions with him, which were uneventful and unremarkable,” essentially stating that he found nothing wrong, mentally or physically, with “Joe.” If that is the case, Director Wray should resign immediately from the FBI, and stop “sweet talking” Congress every time he goes up, which he loves to do, because anybody can see that Joe Biden is cognitively and physically challenged, and if you can’t see that, you sure as hell can’t be running the FBI – Unless, that is, you want to illegally lead the Raid on Mar-a-Lago. Wray has to resign, and NOW, for LYING TO CONGRESS!

Childfree adults are outraged over past comments made by JD Vance about Vice President Kamala Harris, and how they’ve been judged simply for not having children.

Days before he fired an AR-15-style rifle at Donald Trump, a 20-year-old gunman had Google searched the distance between former president John F Kennedy Jr and his assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.

In testimony to a House Oversight Committee investigating the attack, FBI director Christopher Wray said law enforcement analysis of Thomas Matthew Crooks’s devices and digital footprint have not yielded “anything notable in terms of motive or ideology,” but “it does appear fairly clear that he was interested in public figures more broadly.”

Former speaker Kevin McCarthy was not impressed by the remarks, as Justin Rohrlich reports.

A federal judge has denied an attempt by ABC News to dismiss a defamation suit brought against the network by Donald Trump regarding a George Stephanopoulos interview with Rep Nancy Mace over her support for the former president despite the E Jean Carroll verdict against him.

Here’s our reporting on the interview:

Read Judge Cecilia Altonaga’s denial of the motion to dismiss in full here.

Certainly, Defendants’ theory has one credible supporter: Judge Kaplan, who repeatedly determined that the jury’s verdict — regardless of its finding that no rape as defined by New York’s Penal Law had occurred — amounted to a finding of liability for rape as rape is commonly understood. … As explained, however, Judge Kaplan’s findings do not have preclusive effect here. The Court is thus only persuaded that substantial truth would arise if the jury’s verdict of “No” was presented in combination with Judge Kaplan’s additional findings. The Court considers that aspect of Defendants’ arguments now, considering the allegedly defamatory segment in its entirety and in context, from the perspective of a reasonable viewer. Under that standard, a reasonable jury could interpret Stephanopoulos’s statements as defamatory. Stephanopoulos’s exchange with Mace lasted about ten minutes, during which Stephanopoulos stated ten times that a jury — or juries — had found Plaintiff liable for rape. … In fact, of course, the Carroll II jury did not find Plaintiff liable for rape under New York Penal Law; it was Judge Kaplan who determined that the jury’s verdict amounted to liability for rape. Yet, none of these particularities make it into the segment such that a reasonable viewer would have indisputably understood what Defendants now brief in detail.

And here’s Trump’s reaction on Truth Social:
