- Trump DOJ ‘Going After’ Thousands of 2020 Georgia Election Workers Amid Rigg...
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer reported poll workers and ballot counters from Fulton County, Georgia could soon “hear a knock on their doors” from federal prosecutors as part of a sweeping investigation into President Donald Trump’s claim the 2020 election was rigged. Blitzer told The Situation Room viewers the president has made those claims “without evidence” on Wednesday morning. He then threw it to CNN crime reporter Katelyn Polantz for more details. “Trump really does want to continue to say the 2020 election was rigged, and now the Justice Department, they’re going after thousands of names and addresses of these 2020 election workers,” Polantz reported. A CNN graphic then showed the DOJ is looking for emails and phones numbers as well. Polantz said the DOJ made its case to a federal judge last week and is now waiting to hear back on whether it can proceed. Polantz said that the six-year gap is already too long for the DOJ to go back and review the county’s election process, technically, but that the DOJ is saying it simply wants to “go out, knock on doors, potentially interview these ballot workers and poll workers.” The judge is debating whether this is a “fishing expedition” and “too broad of a request,” she added. Her report comes after FBI agents raided a Fulton County election office earlier this year and seized ballots from the 2020 election. The agents left the office with 650 boxes of ballots. The raid was part of an investigation into 2020 election fraud, following Trump’s repeated claims the 2020 election — which he lost to Joe Biden — was stolen. A federal judge sided with the DOJ earlier this month after officials from Fulton County — which includes Atlanta — called for the ballot boxes to be returned. The county had also claimed its rights were violated by the raid, which the judge also ruled against.

(Photos via: Jacquelyn Martin, Frank Franklin II, NDZ/STAR MAX/IPx) New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) tried mocking President Donald Trump over his Knicks fandom… only to put up the rhetorical equivalent of a jump shot getting viciously swatted into the third row by prime Patrick Ewing. Here’s what happened: The governor was asked for her reaction to Trump being a “lifelong Knicks” fan by a reporter during a press conference on Wednesday. Hochul then deadpanned she would “ask him to name the starting lineup of the 1993 Championship team and see how he does.” But that quip was way off the mark. First off, the Knicks didn’t win the title in 1993 — they didn’t even make the NBA Finals that year. The ’93 Knicks blew a 2-0 series lead to Michael Jordan’s Bulls that year in the Eastern Conference Finals, with Chicago going on to win its third straight championship right after. Gov. Hochul tries to own Trump on Knicks fandom… and flops hard: “I’d ask him to name the starting lineup of the 1993 Championship team” Knicks last won a title in 1973. There was no 1993 championship. Trump’s been a lifelong Knicks fan. Hochul is a fraud. pic.twitter.com/G2zTbvhTR1 — Alec Lace (@AlecLace) May 27, 2026 Any semi-knowledgable hoops fan — and especially a Knicks fan — could tell you the last time NY won the title was in 1973. That was the second ring for the early ’70s Knicks squad that was led by Clyde Frazier and Willis Reed. If you’re being charitable to the gov, the Knicks made the Finals in ’94, but lost to the Houston Rockets in 7 games. (You can watch a clip of Trump talking to announcer Marv Albert at the ’94 Finals by clicking here.) The Knicks also made the Finals in ’99, but lost that series too; that was the last time the franchise reached the championship round before the Knicks swept the Cavs earlier this week. Hochul’s botched joke came after The New York Times reported Trump is “considering” going to Madison Square Garden to watch the Knicks play in the NBA Finals. Trump watching a Knicks-Suns game in 1991 with then-girlfriend Marla Maples and actor Elliott Gould (AP Photo/Steve Freeman, File) Trump later on Wednesday confirmed he plans on hitting a Knicks game at MSG. “Boy, what a team!” Trump said. “They win all… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Spencer Pratt Claims He’s ‘Cool with Crips and Bloods’ and He’s Meeting ...
Screenshot via NBCLA Los Angeles mayoral hopeful Spencer Pratt declared he’s “cool with Crips and Bloods” and claimed he’s meeting with one of the gangs soon. In an extensive interview with Vanity Fair that was published on Wednesday, Pratt discussed his decision to jump into politics, saying he wanted to cause as much “damage” as possible to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) after his home was one of thousands of buildings to fall during the 2025 Pacific Palisades fires. Pratt was previously best known for his work on reality television shows like The Hills. Vanity Fair’s Maxwell Adler detailed a unique campaign event in South Central held by Pratt, saying there was everything from a Playboy Playmate to a January 6 Capitol rioter in attendance. Adler wrote: The “block party” was held on the front lawn of a courtyard apartment building on 10th Avenue, between 63rd street and Hyde Park Boulevard — the “headquarters,” according to Pratt, of the Rollin 60s, one of the city’s most notorious street gangs that’s been linked to drug trafficking and homicides, (one of several claims made by the candidate that Vanity Fair could not independently verify). Pratt also made the claim that he’s meeting with the Bloods gang next week. The Bloods and Crips are arguably the two most notorious street gangs in Los Angeles. “I’m meeting with the Bloods next week,” Pratt said. “I’m cool with Crips and Bloods.” Pratt did not further detail the outreach to gangs, but he talked on a number of other topics, including his faith, his average of 16 hours a day of phone usage (though he says that time is not spent reading or listening to news), and his plan to tackle crime and homelessness in Los Angeles, which has been central to his campaign. That campaign has attracted plenty of attention from the right, including praise from President Donald Trump, but Pratt said he doesn’t want ICE’s recent deportation efforts to be part of cleaning up Los Angeles. He said he disapproves of ICE targeting illegal migrants at places of business. “I’ve said a million times, I don’t want ICE here, but I want to get the murderers and rapists out,” Pratt said. “I’ve eaten more Mexican food than any white person in Los Angeles. I love Mexican people… I ate Mexican [food] three days a week for literally maybe 10 years.” Check out the… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Fox News Anchor Gobsmacked by Trump’s Threat to ‘Blow Up’ New Country
Fox News’ John Roberts was gobsmacked by President Donald Trump’s threat to “blow up” a new country on Wednesday. During a Cabinet meeting Q&A at the White House, Trump was asked, “Would you accept a short-term deal that allows Iran and Oman to control the strait [of Hormuz]? And would they have to open it immediately, or would you be open to that happening over a period of time?” “No, the strait’s gotta be open to everybody — it’s international waters. Nobody’s gonna control it, we’re gonna watch over it. We’ll watch over it, but nobody’s gonna control it. That’s part of the negotiation that we have. They would like to control it, nobody’s gonna control it. It’s international waters,” replied the president. “And Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow ’em up. They understand that. They’ll be fine.” Roberts expressed his shock over the comments after the meeting’s conclusion. “The president insisting that there has been regime change in Iran. The only problem: Yes, you’ve changed the leaders, but still the basic theocracy is still in place there. And in the middle of all that, and it really kind of went unnoticed by the reporters, that President Trump became the first American president that I know of to ever threaten to take military action against Oman, saying that they have to behave like everyone else or we’re going to blow them up. I’m not quite sure what that was all about,” observed Roberts. “Let’s go to our senior White House correspondent, Peter Doocy at the White House. Peter, what were your takeaways from this, other than that not-so-veiled threat against the country of Oman, with which the United States has had a traditionally peaceful relationship?” Doocy went on to mention other notable moments from the meeting before Roberts thanked him and mused, “Well, there’s no question there is something going on in this town. For sure.”The post Fox News Anchor Gobsmacked by Trump’s Threat to ‘Blow Up’ New Country first appeared on Mediaite.

Speaking Wednesday at a Cabinet meeting, the president effectively confirmed a New York Times report stating he had planned to attend Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. But as the Knicks’ series sweep resulted in that game not being played, Trump says he is now plotting a trip to The Garden for an NBA Finals game. “I was invited to that,” Trump said. “I was going to go on Wednesday, but they closed it out very quickly.” Trump professed his fondness for Knicks owner James Dolan — whom he called a “great guy” — and went on to laud the newly minted NBA Eastern Conference champions. “Boy, what a team!” Trump said. “They win all their games. They have some great players. I think I’ll be going to one of the games. I was invited by numerous people, and Jim, and I think I’ll be going.” The president added, “It’s great to see it. The Knicks have really suffered for years. They’re doing right now very good.” Trump has been spotted courtside for numerous games at The Garden over the years. Though he frequently attends sporting events, Trump regularly sticks to spectacles such as UFC and college football — whose fan demographics more closely resemble those of the MAGA base. The potential for a negative crowd reaction for a sporting event in Manhattan would seem to be far greater, given Vice President Kamala Harris trounced Trump among Manhattan voters by an 81%-17% margin in the 2024 election.

- ‘You Probably Shouldn’t Have Been There’ Trump Official Swipes at Senator ...Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin took a shot at Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) and told him he “probably shouldn’t have been” at an ICE protest where he was hit with pepper spray. During Wednesday’s White House cabinet meeting, President Donald Trump was asked about protests in Newark, New Jerseym, over allegations of inhumane conditions inside an ICE facility. Some detainees have reportedly begun a hunger strike inside the facility. Trump dismissed protesters as “fake” and “paid for,” joking that they all get their “beautiful” signs made at the same “factory.” When Mullin spoke on the topic, he said only a handful of prisoners have been holding a hunger strike in protest of the specific food they are receiving. He also blasted protesters for gathering outside the facility on Memorial Day. Kim was among those protesters this week, and video captured him putting his arms in the air while standing between demonstrators and ICE agents. When pepper spray was deployed at the protest, Kim was indirectly hit. Kim said: I tried my best to get between the ICE agents and the crowd as the ICE convoy decided to just go ahead and plow through the crowd, which was just absolutely so dangerous of an action that they were doing. So I remember the pepper balls starting to get shot towards my feet and past me. I did not get hit directly by a pepper ball, but certainly between the pepper balls and then the pepper spray that was happening, I’d certainly had an irritation and burning sensation in my eyes and my throat. While Mullin was dismissing protesters as “Antifa” and the detainees on a hunger strike, he blasted lawmakers who have taken part in the protests and Kim for complaining about getting hit with pepper spray when he “probably shouldn’t have been there.” He said: It shows that these radical left Democrats’ priorities when they decide to go out and protest a detention center where we’re housing rapists, child predators, murderers, drug dealers. And they choose Memorial Day of all the day, of all times to go to go protest something that they say that it’s because they’re on a hunger strike when there was only a handful of individuals that were refusing to eat because they want their ethnic group or their ethnic right food. Well, they go back to their country and get whatever food they… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
