Sen. Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC) opened up to Fox News’ Sean Hannity about her talk with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office following her brother Lindsey Graham’s death. Darline Graham, who has taken her brother’s place in the Senate following his death at the age of 71, joined Sean Hannity on his Hang Out podcast this week where she discussed her new political role and Trump’s words following her brother’s death. “The president was very sincere in his condolences about Lindsey,” Graham said. She visited the White House and met with Trump just days after her brother’s death and she’s since earned Trump’s full endorsement. Graham said the president told her he considered her brother “family.” She also revealed she was surprised when he urged her to run in the special election and promised his “complete and total endorsement.” “He talked about him and what a good friend he was, how he considered him family,” she said. Graham was appointed by South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) to fill in her brother’s position and finish out his term. She announced shortly after to Hannity that she’s running to replace her brother full-time in the Senate. “I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes, absolutely,” she said. She also revealed to Hannity during his podcast that she used her meeting with Trump to push for more sanctions on Russia, an issue her brother was passionate about. “I went on to mention that there were some things that I felt like were very important to Lindsey — Russia sanctions — and that I really wanted to push those across the finish line,” she said. Graham called the meeting an “honor” and said she vowed to be “loyal.” “I told him two things. I said, ‘I can tell you this about me: I will work hard, and I’m loyal,'” she said.

(AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File) Hunter Biden bashed Donald Trump’s nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia Thursday by taking aim at the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, for hugely profiting off of his dealings with Saudi Arabia as an unofficial member of the Trump administration. “Jared Kushner holds no government position. Yet he is our Middle East Envoy,” Hunter Biden wrote on social media. “The Saudis have paid him $100M and invested $2B in his firm. He pushed for Saudi nuclear enrichment over the objection of national security officials. Today his father-in-law made it happen,” Biden wrote before, quipping, “But what about my paintings…” Jared Kushner holds no government position. Yet he is our Middle East Envoy.

The Washington Post reported in July 2021, “[Hunter] Biden’s art sale, expected to take place this fall, comes with potential challenges. Not only has Biden previously been accused of trading in on his father’s name, but his latest vocation is in a field where works do not have a tangible fixed value and where concerns have arisen about secretive buyers and undisclosed sums.” Hunter Biden’s paintings were priced from $75,000 to $500,000. Ethics lawyer Richard Painter said at the time, “The whole thing is a really bad idea. The initial reaction a lot of people are going to have is that he’s capitalizing on being the son of a president and wants people to give him a lot of money. I mean, those are awfully high prices.” In the midst of Kushner’s ongoing activities in the Middle East, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) opened an investigation in April into the link between Kushner’s diplomatic work and his private investment firm. Even the Iranians have accused Kushner and his colleague, Steve Witkoff, of being “more interested in exploiting insider knowledge of the negotiations to profit in financial markets than they were in reaching a [peace] deal.” The White House has denied all conflict-of-interest allegations regarding Kushner.The post ‘But What About My Paintings?’ Hunter Biden Calls Out Saudi Arabia’s $2B Jared Kushner Investment Amid Trump Nuke… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - JUST IN: Minnesota Man Learns His Fate in Fatal Shooting of Melissa Hortman and ...
The Minnesota man who pleaded guilty to ambushing and fatally shooting a state lawmaker and her husband will spend the rest of his life behind bars. Vance Boelter, who pleaded guilty to killing Democrat Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark in June 2025, was sentenced to two consecutive life terms, plus 40 years in prison. Boelter also shot state Sen. John Hoffman (D) and his wife Yvette, both of whom survived. Clad in an orange jumpsuit and with shackles on his ankles, Boelter never looked at Hoffman or relatives of the Hortmans who appeared in at the Thursday sentencing to give victim impact statements, according to the Associated Press. The Minnesota man admitted last month he had spent weeks stalking the lawmakers before unleashing chaos in the dark, driving to their homes in the middle of the night and pounding on the door while wearing a creepy rubber mask and disguised as a police officer. He first knocked on the Hoffman’s door, but failed to kill the couple. “The defendant looked me in the eyes and pulled the trigger. The defendant looked at my wife and chose to do the same,” Hoffman said in court Thursday, according to the AP. “My wife and I now live with injuries. We live with our bodies remembering the gunfire.” The shooting left Yvette Hoffman too traumatized to work, she told the court. “I fought him, your Honor, with everything I had. And I finally got him out of our home. I will never forget looking down and watching my blood slowly stream down that white washing machine as I felt myself sinking to the floor,” she said. “We always have an escape plan now. This isn’t how people should live.” Boelter then went on to execute the Hortmans, as well as their dog, a Golden Retriever named Gilbert. This is a breaking news story and has been updated.The post JUST IN: Minnesota Man Learns His Fate in Fatal Shooting of Melissa Hortman and Her Husband first appeared on Mediaite.

Addressing the press corps during a morning briefing, the president’s spokesperson confirmed that Trump is getting antsy with the fact that the SAVE America Act — which would implement a number of new election-related measures impacting everything from voter ID to mail-in voting — has stalled in the Senate. When asked by the Daily Caller’s Reagan Reese if Trump’s patience is running out with Thune, Leavitt was blunt. “His patience is running out,” Leavitt said. “He wants to see as much of the SAVE America Act passed as possible by the August recess. He knows that’s what the American people want to see passed. He was just traveling on the road yesterday, spoke about this, and there was a very loud applause from the people in the audience, the everyday Americans, because voter ID is common sense. They want proof of citizenship in our elections, and the president feels very strongly about that.” Leavitt added, “The American people elected overwhelmingly Republicans to not just this White House, but also the House and the Senate,” Leavitt said. “The House did its job, the Senate needs to do its job too.” In response, Thune took a shot at Leavitt and the White House — claiming they have not helped win over the Senators they need to get the legislation passed. “Well maybe [Leavitt] or somebody else ought to get on the phone and get the votes, right?” Thune said, according to Politico. “It’s 50 around here, and so instead of, you know, pointing the finger at Republicans, they might think about going after the people who are stopping it on the floor, which is the Democrats, and if there are Republicans that they think are gettable, get on the phone.” Watch above, via CNN.The post Trump’s ‘Patience is Running Out’ With Top Senate Republican, Leavitt Warns first appeared on Mediaite.

- Karoline Leavitt Comes to Defense of Indiana Fever Player Amid Backlash for Comm...White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt came to the defense of Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham following her comments on trans athletes. In a Tuesday profile from ESPN, Cunningham weighed in on the nationwide debate regarding trans athletes competing in women’s sports. The report read: You say she’s a “MAGA Barbie,” as some corners of the internet have taken to calling her? Projection, she says, because of what she looks like and where she’s from. She’ll weigh in on how to “protect women’s sports,” she says, because she’s in that world and feels qualified to speak to that world. “I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I’m like, ‘I never once said that,'” she says. “I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” Those comments prompted a wave of social media backlash, with many accusing Cunningham of being transphobic. During Thursday’s White House briefing, Leavitt was asked if President Donald Trump had reached out to Cunningham as a show of support. Leavitt said that he hadn’t, but he was following the situation. She added: As you know, this is something the president feels strongly about, as well — and the American people do, too — that men should not be playing in women’s sports. It’s completely ludicrous that anyone could support that. It’s even more ludicrous that you do have Sophie Cunningham, a female athlete herself, very accomplished in her own right, coming forth and speaking that truth that men shouldn’t play in women’s sports. We want to protect women and girls, and the backlash she is receiving from Democrats and left-wing figures across the country is astonishing. They are clearly very out of touch with the American public on this issue which, again, is an 80-20 issue. It’s common sense. It’s rooted in basic biological fact that men should not be competing against women on playing fields across the country.

- Karoline Leavitt Dishes Blunt Response When Asked If Trump Will Intervene in Tat...White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt offered a blunt response when asked whether President Donald Trump plans to intervene in the case against “manosphere” influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan. Speaking from the podium at Thursday’s White House press briefing, Leavitt was asked by a reporter, “Is President Trump or the administration — do they have any plans to intervene in the extradition process for the Tate brothers?” “No,” came Leavitt’s reply. “We’ve already answered that question.” She quickly called on another reporter. The Tate brothers were arrested last week at a bare-knuckle fighting boxing match in Miami as the Crown Prosecution Service said it was adding additional sex crime charges to the original 21 that the Tates face. They are currently awaiting extradition to the U.K., which the brothers are fighting. “We have decided to prosecute Andrew and Tristan Tate for further offences including rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation and offences relating to indecent images of a child,” Malcolm McHaffie, Head of the Special Crime Division at the Crown Prosecution Service, said in a statement. The Tates are fans of Trump, and voiced support for the president during his 2024 campaign. In addition, Andrew Tate reportedly once held a Zoom call with the president’s son Barron Trump, who has also received dating advice from an associate of the podcaster.
