- Trump Mulls More Cabinet Firings: ‘He’s Very Angry and He’s Going To Be Mo...
Francis Chung/POLITICO via AP Images President Donald Trump may not be done terminating cabinet members. Hours after Attorney General Pam Bondi was shown the door on Thursday, Politico reported that Trump may have his sights set on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, and is considering other changes. Bondi’s removal comes less than two weeks after Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and on the same day the Department of Defense moved to jettison Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George. “He’s very angry and he’s going to be moving people,” an administration official told Politico, which granted anonymity to four sources familiar with Trump’s thinking. Lutnick, who one of the officials said is on “thin ice,” admitted in February that he and his family traveled to Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean island in 2012, four years after Epstein was convicted of child sex trafficking. The secretary previously denied having any relationship with Epstein and stated that he “barely had anything to do with that person.” Meanwhile, Chavez-DeRemer was accused in January of bringing her Labor Department subordinates to a strip club and keeping booze in her desk. The following month, it was reported that her husband Shawn DeRemer, who has no role in the Labor Department, was banned from the building after staffers there accused him of sexual assault. Shortly after Politico published its report on Thursday, The Atlantic suggested additional heads could roll. “Several people familiar with the White House’s plans told us that there are active discussions about others leaving the administration, including FBI Director Kash Patel, Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll,” the publication reported. The personnel tumult comes amid Trump’s ongoing and unpopular war in Iran, which has done his favorability among Americans no favors. Depending on the poll, the president’s approval rating is hovering in the thirties or low forties.The post Trump Mulls More Cabinet Firings: ‘He’s Very Angry and He’s Going To Be Moving People’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham said Attorney General Pam Bondi was fired because she “had become a political liability, claiming on Thursday that Bondi’s ouster was caused by her failure to carry out President Donald Trump’s wishes. Ingraham charted Bondi’s downfall on The Ingraham Angle hours after Trump confirmed on Truth Social on Thursday that the attorney general would be leaving the Department of Justice for a job in the private sector. After naming a few of Bondi’s wins while serving the president, Ingraham turned to the errors that led to her firing, chief among them her actions in relation to files relating to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “But, President Trump nevertheless had grown increasingly frustrated by other headlines like this,” she said, showing a critical headline on screen. “Mistakes and redactions in the Epstein files, and then a supposed mistake in information turned over recently to Hill Democrats. But, perhaps, the most scathing criticism of Bondi was about her handling of the Epstein files.” The host then played the now infamous clip of Bondi claiming in February of last year that the Epstein client list was “sitting on my desk right now,” before quoting Trump’s Chief of Staff Susie Wiles scathing criticism of Bondi in an interview with Vanity Fair last year. “Now, when White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles spoke to Vanity Fair last year about Bondi, the writing seems to be on the wall. Wiles said she completely whiffed,” she said before quoting Wiles. “‘First, she gave them binders full of nothingness, and then she said the witness list or client list was on her desk. There is no client list, and it sure as well wasn’t on her desk.’ In Washington parlance, the ever loyal Pam Bondi had become a political liability.” Ingraham claimed later in the segment that she considered Bondi a friend, saying that, though the attorney general had many supporters, that was not enough to keep the president happy. “One day you’re up. The next day, you’re down. A lot of folks really like Pam Bondi. I consider her a friend. I think she is a patriot to this country. And she certainly has been extremely loyal to President Trump,” she said. “But the frustrations on his part were impossible to ignore.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Laura Ingraham Says Trump Fired Pam Bondi Because She ‘Had Become a Political Liability’ first appeared on… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Congressman Alleges Trump Fired Bondi To Prevent Her From Testifying About Epste...Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) alleged that President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi to prevent her from testifying about Jeffrey Epstein. Trump fired Bondi on Thursday and showered her with praise on the way out. In September, Trump’s frustration with Bondi became public when he seemingly inadvertently posted on Truth Social what was meant to be a direct message to the attorney general. In the post, which began, “Pam,” Trump complained that the Justice Department’s cases against some of his political enemies were moving too slowly. Bondi also took bipartisan heat over her handling of the Epstein files, all of which the DOJ was supposed to release in December, per a federal law enacted last year. The department has released many, but not all, of the files. Additionally, only the names of victims were supposed to be redacted. Yet, the files feature the redactions of the names of people who were not victims. Moulton appeared on MS NOW on Thursday, where he noted that Bondi was set to testify about Epstein before the House Oversight Committee in less than two weeks. “But let’s be more specific about what’s going on here,” Moulton said. “She was about to be deposed in the Epstein case. That’s why Trump got rid of her 12 days before that was supposed to happen.” Moulton then ripped the president for naming Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal attorney, as acting attorney general. In July, Blanche interviewed Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who in 2021, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for child sex trafficking. Maxwell told Blanche that she had never witnessed Trump engaging in illegal activity from Trump’s time as Epstein’s friend. After the interview, the Department of Justice transferred Maxwell to a lower security facility, where she receives custom meals and is allowed to play with dogs. “And he’s put in place someone who did a sweetheart deal for him with regards to Epstein,” Moulton continued. “The guy who went down and interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell and got her out of a maximum security prison, got her all sorts of favors that criminals like her are not afforded, all because she’s willing to do favors for the president of the United States and help cover up his biggest political liability.” Democrats on the Oversight Committee have said that despite Bondi’s ouster, they will still seek her testimony. The Republicans who control the panel have so far been… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Tiger Woods Called Trump From the Scene of His Rollover Crash Before Being Arres...
Martin County Sheriff’s Office via AP Tiger Woods called President Donald Trump from the scene of his rollover car crash moments before he was arrested with a DUI, a new video shows. Woods was charged with driving under the influence after crashing his Range Rover last Friday in an accident in Jupiter, Florida. The golf legend was reportedly carrying two hydrocodone pills in his pocket and appeared to have “glassy eyes” when he was arrested after allegedly refusing a DUI check at the scene. In police bodycam footage, Woods can be heard telling police he was looking at his phone before the crash. But new footage obtained by TMZ adds further detail to the incident. A cop wearing the bodycam in the new footage can be heard calling to Woods, asking him to return to the area with law enforcement. “Mr. Woods,” the cop called repeatedly as Woods appeared walking down the road towards the officer. “We need you to hang out down here with us, please.” Woods can be heard speaking on the phone for a moment before hanging up. “Thank you so much. All right. You got it. Bye,” said Woods, before asking the officer to repeat himself. “Say again?” After the officer repeated his request, Woods promptly told him he had been speaking with Trump. “Yeah, I was just talking with the president,” he said. Woods then claims Trump was “very apologetic for what he did last night.” He then takes a case out of his pocket and attempts to put something in his mouth before being asked not to do so by an officer. No further details are provided as to the context of Woods “apologetic” remark about Trump, though TMZ noted it may have been in relation to the president’s appearance on Fox’s The Five the night before the crash, where he claimed Woods would not compete in the Masters – a decision Woods had not made publicly. The president expressed sympathy for Woods in a Tuesday phone interview with The New York Post, claiming that the golf star “lives a life of pain.” The Post also released a separate report, alleging that Woods, who is dating Vanessa Trump, was forbidden from driving Trump’s grandchildren.The post Tiger Woods Called Trump From the Scene of His Rollover Crash Before Being Arrested — TMZ-Obtained Video Shows first appeared on Mediaite. [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - GOP Congressman Puzzled After Learning Pete Hegseth Sacked ‘Brilliant’ Top A...Rep. Richard McCormick (R-GA), a decorated Marine veteran, was caught off guard when a Newsmax host asked him Thursday about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sacking Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George. Hegseth reportedly asked Gen. George to retire so he could be replaced with someone “who will implement President Trump and Hegseth’s vision for the Army,” CBS News reported. A senior Defense Department official told CBS News, “We are grateful for his service, but it was time for a leadership change in the Army.” “I wonder if you can respond to some breaking news we got a few moments ago, that the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, has now asked the Army Chief of Staff to step down,” said Ed Henry, host of The Big Take. “Is there a turmoil at the Pentagon when we need everybody more than ever to be on the same page, sir?” “That would be news to me if we’re talking about General George,” McCormick answered. “I’m not sure which general you’re talking about, but that would be very surprising to me. And I will look into it immediately, because those are people that I know very well.” After a discussion about the Iran War, Henry followed up, saying, “Yeah, this is General Randy George. The Associated Press has just confirmed with a Pentagon official that he’s out. Does that concern you? You said this is someone you know well. I mean, obviously, we need all the top officials and leaders there in place.” “Yeah, I’d be very curious to hear why,” McCormick said. “I mean, Gen. George is a brilliant mind. I think Gen. George and Admiral [Samuel] Paparo are two of the brighter minds we have in the military. I’ve never heard him say anything contrary to what the president is trying to achieve. I thought he’s done a really good job of getting the army ready for war, so I’d like to hear more because that’s concerning to me.” McCormick added, “And I hope we can get through this because — we’ll have to get through it — we’re the United States of America.” “Yeah, we need everybody on the same team,” Henry said. The Army chief of staff typically serves a four-year term, and George typically would have held the position until 2027.

- ‘I Can’t Believe We Went To This War’: Joe Rogan and Theo Von Trash Trumpâ...Podcasters Joe Rogan and Theo Von, who both backed President Donald Trump in 2024, ripped the president’s decision to wage war in Iran. Trump addressed the nation on Wednesday in a 20-minute speech that provided little in the way of new information and instead repeated his prior public statements about it. He reiterated that the war will take another two to three weeks, demanded Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and also called on other countries to find a way to reopen the vital waterway, through which 20% of the world’s oil flows. As Trump spoke, oil futures surged and continued to do so on Thursday. This week, the U.S. sent a third aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East, as thousands of U.S. soldiers have either been deployed to the region or are on their way. Von appeared on Thursday’s edition of The Joe Rogan Experience, where the two touched on the history of Iran and the West, including the 1953 overthrow of Iran’s democratically elected government at the hands of forces backed by the U.S. and the U.K. “What do you think is gonna happen?” Von asked Rogan. “You think we’re gonna be ok?” “I hope so, of course. I don’t know,” Rogan replied. “I’m confused. I can’t believe we went to this war. When we started bombing Iran, I was like, ‘This can’t be true.'” “And what about Lebanon?” Von said, referring to Israel’s ongoing invasion of its northern neighbor. “And it’s like, just f*cking stop it. What do you need?” “Well, they’re trying to supposedly, they’re trying to stop the terrorists,” Rogan answered. Von laughed. “That’s crazy, though,” Von said. “You’re the fucking terrorists! You know what I’m saying? Like, if you wanna stop them, f*cking stand in front of the fucking mirror and start there.” Watch above via The Joe Rogan Experience.The post ‘I Can’t Believe We Went To This War’: Joe Rogan and Theo Von Trash Trump’s Decision to Go Into Iran first appeared on Mediaite.
