- CNN Legal Analyst Says Trump Just Gave Comey’s Lawyers a Gift: ‘That’s an ...
CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig said President Donald Trump may have jeopardized his administration’s case against former FBI Director James Comey. Comey was indicted on two counts by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of North Carolina: making a threat against the president and transmitting a threat across state lines. The charges stem from a May 2025 Instagram post featuring a photo of seashells arranged to say “86 47.” “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey wrote. Conservatives expressed outrage and claimed he was issuing a threat to kill the 47th president. In slang, “86” typically means to refuse service to someone or to throw a person out of an establishment. Comey deleted the post and apologized, but said at the time that it was “crazy” to think he was threatening the president. Honig appeared on Wednesday’s edition of The Source, where host Kaitlan Collins played a clip of herself in the Oval Office earlier in the day, when she asked Trump, “Do you really think that he was endangering your life or threatening your life with that?” “Well, if anybody knows anything about crime, they know 86,” the president replied. “It’s a mob term for ‘kill him.'” “But do you really think your life was in danger?” Collins asked. “Probably, I don’t know,” Trump responded. “Based on what I’m seeing out there, yeah. People like Comey have created tremendous danger, I think, for politicians and others.” Honig said that in his years as an assistant U.S. Attorney who prosecuted members of all five New York crime families, he had never come across an occasion where someone used the term “86” to convey a hit. “Never, ever, not once did I hear any real-world gangster use the term ’86’ to refer to a murder or anything,” he said, before pointing to Collins’ second question to the president: The other piece of the interview you did, Kaitlan, with the president in the Oval Office, that I found really interesting, when you asked that follow-up, “Did you truly believe your life was in danger?” The first thing he said was “probably, I don’t know.” And then he sort of eventually said, well, I guess so. “Yeah.” “Probably, I don’t know.” Right there, that’s an acquittal because prosecutors have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the victim believed that his life was in jeopardy. And if the… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago - Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims MAGA Congressman ‘Hates Donald Trump’ and ‘M...
The Tucker Carlson Show Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) “hates” President Donald Trump, claiming the Republican congressman repeatedly mocked the president in private. Greene joined Wednesday’s edition of The Tucker Carlson Show to discuss, among other topics, members of her party who, in her view, betrayed the ideals of the Republican Party or the interests of the American people. The former congresswoman told Tucker Carlson that the root of the problem was donor money. “They’re bought and paid for. They do not represent the American people or the American people’s interest, and it’s because they’re funded that way,” Greene said. She went on to claim that while some Republicans grew tired of the strain of finding funds and began to rely on lobbyists for easy money, other representatives were a different story. Why do neocons consistently act against the interests of the United States? It’s more than neglect. It’s hate. Marjorie Taylor Greene saw it firsthand. pic.twitter.com/HGJlRfJ3bo — Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) April 30, 2026 “There’s a whole other side. There are Republican members of Congress that never had good intentions, ever, ever,” she said. “And they came into the House of Representatives already completely supported and propped up and funded by this nasty entanglement I’m talking about in Washington, and I watched it with my own eyes when I watched Mike Lawler get elected.” Greene claimed that Lawler was vocal about his dislike for Trump before his second term, telling Carlson that he “made fun of him constantly.” She said: I remember specifically when Mike Lawler came in, and he was welcomed in by everybody. I mean, he was propped up as the guy we have to fight for. One of the most critical races as an incoming Republican candidate, because it was a very close district, and it was so– we were told it was so important to win this district. Well, I learned a lot about him very quickly. He, as a Catholic, Mike Lawler is a Catholic, was heavily supported and funded by the Jewish community there and was heavily being supported by all the Christian Zionists. And he instantly had more support from pretty much every fundraising mechanism that there is in Washington, D.C. that supports Republicans. He had more help than I could have ever dreamed of having, ever in my entire political career. And I was like,… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago - Tucker Carlson Burns It Down, Tells Trump, ‘You Have Failed’
The Tucker Carlson Show Tucker Carlson unloaded on President Donald Trump and the administration, stating flatly, “You have failed.” On Wednesday’s edition of The Tucker Carlson Show, the host slammed his former Fox News colleague Mark Levin, who has been one of the most vocal supporters of the Iran war, which the the U.S. and Israel launched on Feb. 28. In the weeks leading up to Trump’s decision to bomb the country, Levin and Carlson separately visited the White House, where they lobbied Trump for and against the war, respectively. Carlson accused Levin of wanting to censor Americans who criticize the war, as well as the Israeli government for its role in lobbying Trump to launch it. Carlson then casually segued from talking about Levin to Trump, without mentioning the president’s name. Nevertheless, the content of his remarks made it very clear who he was addressing. He said the president has abandoned everyday Americans and even has contempt for them. “You hate people like that,” Carlson stated. “And there may be other reasons you hate them, but you certainly hate them because they are a reminder of how you have failed. You have not done a good job running this country. You don’t even care to try. You’d rather run the world or the empire. You don’t want to improve Baltimore. You don’t care about Gary, Indiana. Rural America makes you sick… Normal leaders would ask themselves, ‘Why are people mad? What are they dissatisfied with? How can I help them? They’re clearly in pain.'” Carlson then said the war on Iran is the most significant thing “they” have done, but that it is failing. Why do neocons consistently act against the interests of the United States? It’s more than neglect. It’s hate. Marjorie Taylor Greene saw it firsthand. pic.twitter.com/HGJlRfJ3bo — Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) April 30, 2026 (Cited portion begins at 55-minute mark) “They’ve never looked inward once in 10 years,” he continued, suddenly replacing “you” with the third person. “And now they’ve reached the point of maximum frustration, where the biggest thing they’ve ever done, which is try to regime-change the Iranian government, and it hasn’t worked. That’s the biggest thing they’ve ever done. They staked everything on that. And you should just know that at this point, now that that’s not working out, they will not be mad at themselves. They’re gonna be mad at… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago - Amazon Reportedly Considers ‘Apprentice’ Reboot Starring Donald Trump Jr.
Photo by Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP, File Amazon is reportedly considering a reboot of President Donald Trump’s reality show The Apprentice, starring his son. The studio that sank a whopping $75 million into First Lady Melania Trump’s documentary is in the early stages of discussions surrounding a reboot of the television show that skyrocketed then-real estate tycoon Donald Trump to television stardom. The idea entered conversations around the time Trump began his second term, people familiar with the talks told The Wall Street Journal. Amazon MGM Studios also agreed to distribute Melania in that time period. Executives have reportedly already discussed their pick for the host of the new show, with their eyes on Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr. The studio has not reached out to the Trump family, and an Amazon spokesperson confirmed no host has officially been chosen. Amazon MGM released original episodes of The Apprentice on its streaming platform last year after acquiring the show’s fourteen seasons with its purchase of MGM in 2022. Some of The Journal’s sources claimed the move to rerelease the show came after a push to make it available following Trump’s win in the 2024 election. “Since our acquisition of MGM, we have had preliminary internal discussions about what’s next for ‘The Apprentice’ as a property,” said an Amazon spokesman, who noted that the new show is not currently being developed. Representatives for the White House and the Trump family didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment from The Journal. The talks to rerelease the once widely popular show come amid studio head Mike Hopkin’s reported move to appeal to different audiences. Other efforts include faith-based programming, former executives told The Journal, and previous ideas surrounding a documentary on Trump’s first inauguration. That project was not made. What did see the light of day, however, was director Brett Ratner’s movie on Trump’s wife, with Amazon MGM giving Ratner and his team a $40 million production budget. Besides the conversation sparked by the film’s strong box office debut and glitzy premiere, some Democratic lawmakers and Hollywood alums questioned the studio’s motivations for making the movie. “If there’s nothing corrupt about this deal and the bidding process was truly ‘competitive,’ why won’t Amazon explain why it reportedly paid three times as much as the next highest bidder?” Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said of the project. “The logical explanation is that Amazon is trying to buy the President’s favor by dumping millions into the Trump family’s pockets. This looks like bribery in plain sight,… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago - CNN’s Van Jones Says Erika Kirk ‘Has Tremendous Moral Authority’CNN’s Van Jones said Erika Kirk had “tremendous moral authority” on Wednesday, claiming that she has the “opportunity” to bring people together to address violence in America. Jones joined Outfront to discuss, among other topics, Kirk’s response to Saturday’s shooting at White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The wife of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was shot to death last year, left the dinner in tears. She later addressed the shooting on X, claiming the event displayed the “continued rise in political violence” in the country. “Saturday was yet another traumatic example of the evil in our country and the continued rise in political violence,” Kirk wrote. “I’m taking time to spend with my family.” Kirk shared more detailed thoughts on Wednesday’s edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, where she blamed the press and commentators for the “systemic indoctrination and radicalization” of U.S. citizens. “This culture we’re living in absorbs disagreement into personal betrayal,” she said. “It turns having an opposing viewpoint into a moral crime worthy of punishment.” CNN host Erin Burnett played a clip from Kirk’s remarks where the TPUSA head called out those on the left for their reaction to Trump’s multiple assassination attempts. “There has never been a president who has faced this many assassination attempts in America’s entire history. And after each one, the reaction from the far left has been, at best, a shrug and in some cases, a sick disappointment that the shooter was unsuccessful,” Kirk said. “We are all human beings, and if you can just pause and just take a minute and ask yourself, how would you feel if even just one person made cruel jokes about the attempted murder of your loved one?” Burnett asked Jones about the clip, noting that the moment had caught his attention and asking him to explain his thoughts. “Well, first of all, you know, she’s a grieving widow, and I think she has tremendous moral authority in this country,” Jones said. “And if she wants to unify the country against violence, she has an opportunity to do that.” Jones, however, went on to say that Kirk would hurt her potential to use that opportunity if she were “only going to chastise one side.” “But if she’s only going to chastise one side and not talk about the fact that Nancy Pelosi’s husband was almost beaten to death with a hammer, that we lost two democratic state senators in Minnesota– horrific… [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago
- Fox’s Brit Hume Says if Midterms Were Held Today, Republicans Would Lose Big: ...Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume said that barring a dramatic turnaround, Republicans will lose the House and potentially the Senate in November’s elections. Republicans narrowly control the House 217-212 and the Senate 53-47. Historically, the incumbent president’s party loses seats in midterm elections. Democrats are widely expected to retake the House because of historical trends, as well as President Donald Trump’s unpopularity. In the Senate, Democrats face an uphill climb thanks to a challenging map this cycle. To take the Senate, Democrats will need to net four seats. On Wednesday’s Special Report, Hume offered his thoughts on the midterms. “I think people are concerned about the economy, and the Republicans are likely to pay a price for that,” he said, noting that the war on Iran has created upward pressure on energy prices, which need to come down if the GOP is to have any chance. “There’s some hope among Republicans that if we get a successful outcome of this war in Iran… that the gasoline prices and other prices will come down, people will feel better about the economy, that the Trump program will bring about some strengthening growth, that some of the measures he’s taken in terms of taxes and regulation will pay off, and that they’ll have a chance of doing well in the midterms.” Hume went on to call retaining the House “a long shot” for Republicans. “And I think if the election were held today, given in the middle of this conflict, that the House would be obviously gone. And there’s a good chance that the Senate would go, too,” he added. “But the war outcome, I think, will produce a reset, for better or for worse, for each party. If it turns out well, I think the president would have a lot to run on, and the party would swing behind that because they’ve been behind this war. If it turns out in a way that is unconvincing to people that it was worth it, woe be unto the Republicans.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Fox’s Brit Hume Says if Midterms Were Held Today, Republicans Would Lose Big: ‘The House Would Be Obviously Gone’ first appeared on Mediaite.
