Many of former President Donald Trump’s closest allies in Congress — and rumored vice presidential contenders — described a “depressing” and dreary scene in the former president’s Manhattan courtroom during exclusive interviews with the Daily Caller.
Since his trial began in April, a number of allies from the House and Senate have visited Trump in court to show their support as he and his campaign are restricted by a gag order from New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan. The gag order has hamstrung his campaign, preventing the GOP nominee from speaking about individuals like Matthew Colangelo, a lead prosecutor in the case who spent two years
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Joe Biden's public approval rating this month fell to its lowest level in almost two years, tying the lowest reading of his presidency in a warning sign for his reelection effort, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed.
The four-day poll, which closed on Monday, showed just 36% of Americans approve of Biden's job performance as president, down from 38% in April. It was a return to the lowest approval rating of his presidency, last seen in July 2022. While this month's drop was within the poll's 3 percentage point margin of error, it could bode poorly for Biden as he faces off with Republican Donald Trump
President Trump’s lawyer Christina Bobb on Tuesday was arrested, arraigned and booked in Phoenix on junk charges related to the Arizona alternate electors.
Christina Bobb pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Last month Trump 2020 alternate electors, GOP state legislators, former Arizona GOP chairwoman Kelli Ward and others were indicted by a state grand jury in Arizona.
A total of 18 people involved in the Arizona alternate electors plan were indicted by the Arizona grand jury last month.

Hunter Biden's gun trial will feature some scintillating testimony from his ex-lovers that could reveal the personal details of his drug use when he purchased a firearm.
The president's son's ex-wife Kathleen Buhle, his ex-girlfriend Zoe Kestan and his deceased brother Beau's widow Hallie Biden - whom Hunter had a romantic relationship with - all could be called to testify, according to court papers filed Monday.
Hunter Biden is charged in Delaware with three charges related to illegal possession of a gun. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison. He has pleaded not guilty.
Multiple tornadoes caused extensive damage in Iowa on Tuesday during severe weather that storm trackers across the region captured live on video. Reports of tornadoes and damage started coming in Tuesday afternoon while a "Particularly Dangerous Situation" Tornado Watch was underway for parts of the Midwest. At least four tornadoes were seen in western and central parts of the Hawkeye State, including by FOX Weather storm chasers. Storm chaser Brandon Copic's cameras started recording a massive tornado that developed in western Iowa. "It's definitely a multi-vortex tornado in progress," Copic told FOX Weather Meteorologist Ian Oliver. Meanwhile, in Corning, Iowa
Last week, after months of uncertainty and conjecture, the Biden campaign finally broke its silence on the issue of participating in presidential debates. However, rather than going through the Presidential Debates Commission, Biden's team proposed direct negotiations with the Trump campaign for two debates: one slated for June and another for September, under terms that were transparently designed to benefit Joe Biden.
The funniest thing about the debate challenge was that Biden tried to flip the script by accusing Trump of ducking debates and acting all macho about it.
The Biden administration filed a lawsuit against Oklahoma on Tuesday challenging a new law that allows local authorities to arrest migrants who are in the state illegally.
Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt signed local House Bill 4156 into law in April, which makes it a crime to enter Oklahoma without legal authorization to be in the US.
The Justice Department, which has sued Texas and Iowa over similar measures, argued that the legislation is unconstitutional.
A New Jersey lawyer who sits on one of Rutgers University’s advisory boards routinely shares bloodthirsty pro-Hamas content on his social media accounts — including a slew of posts celebrating attacks on Israeli soldiers as “hunting season.”
Rajeh A. Saadeh, a divorce and family attorney from New Jersey and member of the board of advisors for the school’s Center for Security, Race and Rights, has taken to sharing daily clips on his personal Instagram page of Israel Defense Forces personnel being gunned down in Gaza in the wake of the Oct. 7 terror attack.

Amal Clooney, the stylish, Lebanese-British wife of a Hollywood hunkster, a Dior-clad champion of the downtrodden and oppressed, has proven herself to be a colossal phony. And a dangerous one.
As a self-described human-rights lawyer, Amal, 46, is chief architect and booster of the shameful indictment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes before the International Criminal Court.
As an afterthought, the Amal-led body also brought forth arrest warrants for the leaders of Hamas, creating a moral equivalency between terrorists who slaughtered, raped and kidnapped more than 1,200 Israelis and tourists without provocation,
Israeli forces conducted a raid against a Hamas compound in Gaza on Tuesday, uncovering a tunnel and a significant cache of weapons and explosives.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released footage and images from the operation, which targeted a building Israel says Hamas troops used to fire on their forces. IDF soldiers eliminated "dozens" of Hamas terrorists during the operation, the military said.
"Soldiers searched a building and located many weapons including protective equipment, explosives, weapons, anti-tank missiles, equipment and tools intended for breaching fences," the IDF said in a statement.

Trump probe replies
Democrats introduced legislation Tuesday that would prohibit U.S. officials from accepting money, payments or gifts from foreign governments without congressional consent, their response to a yearslong probe into former President Donald Trump’s overseas business dealings.
The proposal led by Rep. Jamie Raskin and Sen. Richard Blumenthal would enforce the Constitution’s ban on emoluments, which prohibits the president from accepting foreign gifts and money without Congress’ permission. Democrats say Trump brazenly ignored the clause as president as foreign government officials flocked to his hotels and properties.

Playing the Veepstakes guessing game is often a losing one for analysts. Vice-presidential selection is ultimately a highly personal choice, and it is simply too difficult to venture into the mind of one individual and mimic their thought process. Perhaps more importantly, Republican presidential nominees haven’t made the obvious choice for vice president since Ronald Reagan chose George Bush in 1980. Dan Quayle, Jack Kemp, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, Paul Ryan, and even Mike Pence were all somewhat “out-of-left-field” selections for their respective presidential candidates.

We know that the FBI and DOJ made a point of conducting the Mar-a-Lago raid when they knew Trump would not be there. However, newly released documents associated with the raid empowered the FBI and DOJ agents present on the scene to shoot Donald Trump and his Secret Service detail if necessary. We don’t know if this was standard operating procedure or not, but it’s certainly concerning on its face.

It was a headline writers' dream of a trial: A porn star describing sex with a future president, a look inside the seediest kind of journalism and a disgraced lawyer dishing the dirt on his former boss.
Throughout it all, Donald Trump gave the air of a man who could care less, leaning back in his leather seat, eyes closed, in an act of either sleep or disdain.
The defense rested its case on Tuesday morning without the defendant taking the stand. The result is that for all the dirt dished, and the evidence presented by 22 witnesses, the Republican candidate for president came through largely unscathed.

Former commissioner on the Federal Election Commission Brad Smith said Monday night that the judge overseeing Trump’s trial has shown “very evident” bias in favor of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Smith, who Trump’s defense team intended to call as a witness, announced that Merchan’s heavy restrictions on his planned testimony caused the defense to decide not to call him to the stand at all. Merchan ruled that Smith could not interpret campaign finance law or testify to whether or not the $130,000 payment Michael Cohen made to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election was a violation.

Many families are struggling with rising monthly expenses. For families with children in diapers, extra costs are really hard to manage.
According to the National Diaper Bank Network, 92% of families receiving diapers in Tennessee are working and still are unable to afford an adequate supply of diapers.

At least one person has died, and dozens more have been hospitalized after a Singapore Airlines flight was hit by “severe turbulence” on Tuesday morning.
The flight from London to Singapore was forced to divert to Bangkok after a sudden and severe drop in altitude sent some passengers flying into the ceiling. (X Video) Singapore Airlines said in a statement:

After Michael Cohen's disastrous testimony, it would seem that the case against President Trump over the bookkeeping entry in a hush-money payment case would be in tatters as it goes to the jury. Many legal eagles have said as much.
But the politically partisan New York justice in this case, Juan Merchan, doesn't give up that fast and clearly wants to salvage the case. He's instructing the jury to ignore the detail about the 'underlying crime' and treat the case the same way a burglary case is treated.
One person died aboard a Singapore Airlines flight and 30 people were injured, after the aircraft encountered an air pocket and was diverted to Bangkok, the airline said Tuesday.
The jet fell into an air pocket over Thai airspace and requested to land at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, an airport spokesperson said at a news conference, according to Reuters. The civil aviation department would launch an investigation, the official added. The flight had left London for Singapore, carrying 211 passengers and 18 crew members. The aircraft “encountered severe turbulence en-route,” according to Singapore Airlines.
Former president Donald Trump’s defense rested on Tuesday morning in his “hush-money” criminal trial, without Trump taking the stand.
Trump’s defense attorney Todd Blanche rested his case after testimony from Robert Costello, a former legal adviser to star witness and disbarred former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.
Closing statements are scheduled to take place next Tuesday and a charging conference will take place this afternoon. On his way out of the courtroom, Trump did not answer questions about his decision not to testify.

It is with a heavy heart that we must report who Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's real killer is: The United States of America.
At least, that's the implication from Iran, which needed a couple of days to get its story straight and blame "Western sanctions" on the poor quality of its helicopters, which led to Raisi's untimely demise. That talking point is now floating around, thanks to friendly media outlets willing to overlook (if not actually cheer on) Iran being a country run by very bad people.

You will be shocked to learn that almost all the aid the United States is moving into Gaza via that pier we painstakingly and expensively built is getting stolen before it arrives at its intended destination.
I certainly was. I expected that Gaza, which is filled with saints and angels, would be among the most law-abiding and safe places in the world for aid workers.
Sure, Israelis are hunting them, but the aid is being delivered where the Israelis are not, and shockingly it is not the dastardly and genocidal Joos who are stealing the aid as supplements to their diet of Palestinian babies, but rather
Days before Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed special counsel Jack Smith to investigate former President Donald Trump, experts who had been following the Justice Department investigations questioned its necessity. Mr. Smith was appointed on Nov. 18, 2022.

President Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee said Monday that they raised more than $51 million in April, falling well short of the $76 million that Donald Trump and the Republican Party reported taking in for the month.
Biden’s reelection campaign said it had $192 million in cash-on-hand as of the end of last month, which it said was higher than any Democratic candidate in history. But that was also roughly the same amount it reported having at the end of the year’s first quarter on March 30 — suggesting the campaign was spending funds as quickly as it raised them.

An investigation from the Senate Finance Committee revealed that a few European-based automakers imported either cars or auto parts made using Chinese slave labor to the United States.
