- CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Calls Out Trump Allies Over Hillary Depo Who Didn’t Sh...
CNN anchor and senior White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins called out Trump allies who grilled former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but didn’t show up to question other witnesses like Jeffrey Epstein associate Les Wexner. Clinton underwent 6 hours of closed-door questioning on Thursday (briefly stopping when Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) leaked a photo to pro-MAGA figure Benny Johnson) in a deposition she had hoped would be public testimony instead. On Monday night’s edition of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, Collins opened her show with a review of the news that included a raised eyebrow at Boebert’s excuse for leaking the photo and a callout of the members who skipped other witnesses. KAITLAN COLLINS: For more than six hours today, House Republicans had their dream witness in front of them for a sworn deposition. As to whether it yielded anything of substance for their Jeffrey Epstein investigation, the witness herself, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who says she never met the man, had this assessment. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HILLARY CLINTON, LAWYER AND FORMER UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF STATE: I thought it was very repetitive. I thought that they asked literally the same questions over and over again, which didn’t seem to me to be very productive. I don’t know how many times I had to say, I did not know Jeffrey Epstein, I never went to his island, I never went to his homes, I never went to his offices. So, it’s on the record, numerous times. (END VIDEO CLIP) COLLINS: The Republican chair of that committee, who was in the room today, James Comer, says that the public may be able to watch what happened behind closed doors, Secretary Clinton’s full testimony, as soon as tomorrow. And that means we’ll be able to all see the moment that her deposition was actually brought to a screeching halt today, after a right-wing podcaster posted a picture from inside the room of what was supposed to be a closed-door testimony, despite Clinton’s own attempts to have it done in public. This image that you see here was given to the podcaster by, you can see here, Republican congresswoman, Lauren Boebert, who said this, when my colleague, MJ Lee, questioned her about what happened. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) MJ LEE, CNN SENIOR NATIONAL ENTERPRISE CORRESPONDENT: What stood out to you, Congresswoman, from the deposition so far? REP. LAUREN BOEBERT (R-CO): Well, I mean… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Joe Scarborough Cracks Up as He Mocks James Comer Over Hillary Clinton Depositio...Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough laughed himself silly on Friday morning as he relentlessly mocked Republicans on the House Oversight Committee for being “owned” by Hillary Clinton during her Jeffrey Epstein probe deposition hearing – even earning a scolding from co-host and wife Mika Brzezinski. Hillary Clinton gave roughly six hours of testimony in a closed-door deposition in Chappaqua, New York, on Thursday, telling investigators she had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. She said she did not recall ever meeting Epstein and denied flying on his plane or visiting any of his properties. Scarborough opened the show by comparing the throwdown between Clinton and the Republicans to the Harlem Globetrotters playing a local team: Well, I mean, the whole thing, we knew how this was going to go. It’s like when I was a kid, my dad would say when we lived in Meridian, ‘hey, the Globetrotters are coming to Jackson, Mississippi.’ So we’ll take the drive over Meridian to Jackson. We knew how it was going to end. You knew James Comey against Hillary Clinton, just wasn’t going to go well. Launching into a bit, Scarborough jibed that he’d heard faux reports that Arnold the Pig, from the old CBS show Green Acres, who the host cracked was the committee chairman’s chief legal counsel, even having the sense to leave before the deposition started: I mean, there were reports Mika and they’re unconfirmed on X, but, you know, the one smart person on Comer’s committee, well not even a person, Arnold the Pig, his chief legal counsel, was seen leaving Chappaqua like 10 minutes before the deposition started, saying, ‘I want no part of this sh*t. This is going to go bad.’ “Joe, stop!” Brzezinski whispered after he swore on-air, but the host wasn’t finished: As always, Willie, Arnold the Pig, the best legal mind on the GOP’s team right there. No doubt about it! He was the smartest in Green Acres and obviously the smartest with Comer. Because Hillary Clinton yesterday, man, Hillary Clinton, by all accounts, just, I mean, owned the place. Scarborough laughed out loud before co-host Willie Geist mused that the hearing had been an “embarrassment” for the committee, citing Clinton’s post-deposition claims that she was asked about UFOs and the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, adding it went “exactly how most people thought it would.” Scarborough chimed in again, warning “all it did” was… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago

“I think the mere fact that the markets can move so much, based on almost nothing, underscores how high anxiety is right now.” [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Stephen Colbert Mocks Trump’s SOTU Ratings Slump: ‘If I Were CBS, I’d Canc...Stephen Colbert seized on President Donald Trump’s State of the Union ratings on Thursday night, mocking the president for “dragging down broadcast television” after viewership fell from last year’s address. According to Nielsen, 32.6 million viewers tuned in to Trump’s 108-minute speech on Tuesday. The figure marked an 11% drop from the 36.6 million who watched his joint session address last year, which at roughly 100 minutes broke the record for the longest State of the Union speech. Trump’s audience this year just edged out former President Joe Biden’s final State of the Union in 2024, which drew 32.2 million viewers. On The Late Show, Colbert gleefully zeroed in on the decline, and couldn’t help but point out his own ratings jump by comparison. “The Nielsen ratings for his speech are in, and Trump’s talk-a-thon saw an 11% decrease from last year,” he said to cheers from the audience. “Donald Trump is really dragging down broadcast television. I mean, if I were CBS, I’d cancel him,” the host added, in a pointed jab at his own network’s decision to cancel his show, which is set to end in May. Colbert then pivoted to The Late Show’s ratings figures: “But you know, linear television is doomed and everyone’s ratings are going down, right? I’m sorry, what’s that? Our ratings were up 7%?” The audience cheered loudly as he continued: “Over the same last year? So last year’s and this year’s? I’m up 7%? Holy cow!” As the in-studio audience began chanting his name, he followed: “You know what I think is going on? People may not like watching Trump, but they do like watching me not like watching Trump.” Watch above via CBS.The post Stephen Colbert Mocks Trump’s SOTU Ratings Slump: ‘If I Were CBS, I’d Cancel Him!’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- BREAKING: Mike Huckabee Urges US Staff Wishing to Leave Israel to ‘Do So TODAY...
(Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images) The United States authorised embassy staff in Israel to leave the country on Friday morning, with Ambassador Mike Huckabee urging those who wish to depart to “do so TODAY” as fears mount over a possible U.S. strike on Iran. In an email sent at 10:24 a.m. local time on Friday, Huckabee told employees the decision followed overnight meetings and discussions with the State Department, taken out of “an abundance of caution” and with staff safety as the priority. Those choosing to leave “should do so TODAY,” he wrote, according to the New York Times, advising them to secure seats on outbound flights from Ben-Gurion Airport to any destination available. “Focus on getting a seat to anyplace from which you can then continue travel to DC, but the first priority will be getting expeditiously out of country,” he wrote. The embassy shifted to an “authorized departure” footing, allowing nonessential personnel and their dependents to evacuate at government expense when U.S. national interests or an imminent threat to life requires it. On February 27, 2026, the Department of State authorized the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel and family members of U.S. government personnel from Mission Israel due to safety risks. In response to security incidents and without advance notice, the U.S.… pic.twitter.com/aWzX6Gk36x — U.S. Embassy Jerusalem (@usembassyjlm) February 27, 2026 “There is no need to panic,” Huckabee wrote, “but for those desiring to leave, it’s important to make plans to depart sooner rather than later.” The move comes a day after six hours of talks in Geneva between Washington and Tehran ended without a breakthrough. Iranian officials said negotiations would continue next week, while the White House declined to comment on the status of discussions. The State Department also urged Americans to “reconsider travel” to Israel and the West Bank, citing “terrorism and civil unrest,” as regional tensions escalate.The post BREAKING: Mike Huckabee Urges US Staff Wishing to Leave Israel to ‘Do So TODAY’ as Iran Tensions Grow first appeared on Mediaite.
