- ‘What Does That Mean?’ Confused Reporter Asks Trump About ‘Nuclear Dust’...
A reporter aboard Air Force One spoke for many on Friday night when she asked President Donald Trump about a claim he made regarding Iran’s “nuclear dust.” Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran last week, pausing hostilities that began on Feb. 28 when the U.S. and Israel began a major bombing campaign of the country, including its nuclear facilities that Trump said last year had been “totally obliterated” by U.S. and Israeli strikes. The president claimed the Strait of Hormuz is now open without restrictions. However, Iranian officials have said the strait will remain closed if the U.S. blockade on Iranian ships and ports remains in effect. On Friday morning, Trump posted on Truth Social that the U.S. will recover “nuclear dust” in Iran. The president also said Israel is “PROHIBITED” from continuing to bomb Lebanon. In the process, he seemingly created a new terrorist group called “Hezboolah”: The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear “Dust,” created by our great B2 Bombers – No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form. This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon, either, but the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon, and deal with the Hezboolah situation in an appropriate manner. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!! Thank you! President DJT Later that night, a reporter asked Trump what exactly he meant by “nuclear dust.” “What does that mean?” she asked. “Are they destroying their nuclear material? Can you walk us through what that process looks like, Sir?” “We’re taking it,” Trump replied. “Very simple. We’re taking it, with Iran. We’re going in with Iran.” “Does that mean the U.S. is on the ground to get that?” she asked. “We’ll take it after the agreement is signed,” the president responded.The post ‘What Does That Mean?’ Confused Reporter Asks Trump About ‘Nuclear Dust’ Claim first appeared on Mediaite.

AP Photo/Alex Brandon FBI Director Kash Patel said he will file a lawsuit after The Atlantic published an unflattering report that called into question his fitness for the job. On Friday, the publication ran a piece by Sarah Fitzpatrick, who reported that last week, Patel believed that President Donald Trump had fired him because he was unable to access an FBI computer system: On Friday, April 10, as FBI Director Kash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a “freak-out.” However, the lockout was due to a technical issue, according to two sources familiar with the situation. The report also said Patel had been intoxicated in public at restaurants in Washington, D.C. and Las Vegas. Moreover, Patel’s FBI security detail reportedly had difficulty waking him on multiple occasions due to excessive alcohol use: On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to information supplied to Justice Department and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”—normally used by SWAT and hostage-rescue teams to quickly gain entry into buildings—was made last year because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors, according to multiple people familiar with the request. Shortly after the report was published, FBI media flack Erica Knight called the piece “fabricated” and added, “Lawsuit is being filed.” Later, Patel weighed in. “[S]ee you and your entire entourage of false reporting in court,” he wrote on X. “But do keep at it with the fake news, actual malice standard is now what some would call a legal lay up.” Accompanying the tweet was a screenshot purporting to be an email to Fitzgerald and Patel from Benjamin Williamson, FBI assistant director for public affairs. “Top to bottom, this is one of the most absurd things I’ve ever read,” Williamson wrote. “Completely false reporting at a nearly 100% clip. And with a two hour deadline.”The post Kash Patel Says He’s Suing Over Report Claiming He’s Repeatedly Been Intoxicated in Public While FBI Director first appeared on Mediaite.

Last week, Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran to pause hostilities, which began on Feb. 28 when the U.S. and Israel began a major bombing campaign of Iran, including the country’s nuclear facilities that Trump said last year had been “totally obliterated” by U.S. and Israeli strikes. The president said the vital Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil flows, is now open. However, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran’s parliament, said as long as the U.S. is blocking Iranian ships and ports, Iran will restrict traffic in the strait. Levin joined Friday’s Hannity, where he urged Trump to “finish” the Iranian regime once and for all. “The Iranians are on their back, and they’re gonna cut a deal with Donald Trump, and he’s gonna cut a very tough deal with them,” he said. Levin added that he is worried that a future Democratic president would not enforce the deal. “They’re not gonna send the military in,” he continued. “Their isolationist, they’re anti-American, and their base won’t allow them to do it. What about if it’s another Republican? We have an isolationist wing among the Republicans. I don’t see anybody doing what Donald Trump has done. They didn’t do it before, and they’re not gonna do it after. And I’m worried about that, and I think the Iranians are thinking about that too.” Levin then cited General George Patton, who, at the conclusion of hostilities in the European Theater in World War II, recommended that the U.S. remain in Europe to wage war against the Soviet Union: At the end of World War II, Patton, after we defeated Germany, he said, “Let’s finish off the Russians.” They said, “Why?” “Because our military’s here! We’re gonna have to do it one day anyway.” Our military is there. And I’m a commentator and that’s why I’ll never be president like Donald Trump. I say we’re there. Let’s finish them off. Now, people can call me whatever they wish, but that’s the most permanent way to ensure that in the future, when there are other presidents and other secretaries of state, that this regime can’t do it because the regime will cease to exist, the people will be liberated, and… [TheTopNews] Read More.10 hours ago
- Trump Officials Are ‘Openly Discussing’ Kash Patel’s Replacement as FBI Di...The Atlantic reporter who broke a wild story about FBI Director Kash Patel said senior officials in the Trump administration are “openly discussing” his successor. On Friday, the publication ran a piece by Sarah Fitzpatrick, who reported that last week, Patel believed he had been fired by President Donald Trump after he was locked out of an FBI computer system: On Friday, April 10, as FBI Director Kash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a “freak-out.” It turned out the lockout was due to a technical issue, according to two people familiar with the matter. The report also alleges that Patel has been intoxicated in public on multiple occasions, and said the director’s security detail has had difficulty waking him at times because he was too drunk. In one incident, the security detail reportedly needed SWAT team “breaching equipment” to enter his room. A spokesperson for the FBI called the report “fabricated” and said a lawsuit is being filed. Shortly after the story ran, Fitzpatrick, who earlier this month reported that Patel was at risk of losing his job, appeared on CNN to discuss her story. “Based on what you’re hearing, is your understanding that that is still the case?” Boris Sanchez asked. “So, people close to the director have said that he himself has expressed that he believes that he is about to be fired or that is imminent,” Fitzpatrick replied, before adding that top administration officials are already discussing who will replace Patel. “So, yes, this is widely, widely discussed, I think, within Washington, behind closed doors,” she added. “In fact, there are senior administration officials who are openly discussing who will be the next FBI director.” “Wow,” Sanchez replied.

Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call via AP Images Last week, FBI Director Kash Patel was convinced that President Donald Trump had fired him after he was unable to access the bureau’s internal computer system, The Atlantic reported on Friday. Patel was so convinced he had been terminated, he hurriedly called FBI staff and informed them he had been fired. News of the apparent personnel move quickly made its way through the FBI and Congress, and bureau employees and members of Congress phoned the White House to ask who was leading the nation’s top law enforcement agency: On Friday, April 10, as FBI Director Kash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a “freak-out.” Patel oversees an agency that employs roughly 38,000 people, including many who are trained to investigate and verify information that can be presented under oath in a court of law. News of his emotional outburst ricocheted through the bureau, prompting chatter among officials and, in some corners of the building, expressions of relief. The White House fielded calls from the bureau and from members of Congress asking who was now in charge of the FBI. Patel is still in charge of the FBI, of course, but is reportedly concerned about his job security. Earlier this month, The Atlantic reported that Patel is one of several administration officials who could be on the chopping block. Friday’s Atlantic story also stated that Patel has drunk “to the point of obvious intoxication” in public, often at Ned’s in Washington, D.C., and at the Poodle Room in Las Vegas, where he lives. On occasion, the FBI has even reportedly had to reschedule meetings “as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights, six current and former officials and others familiar with Patel’s schedule” told The Atlantic. In some cases, the director’s FBI security detail had difficulty waking him because he was so drunk. In one incident, the FBI had to use “breaching equipment” of the sort SWAT teams use: On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was… [TheTopNews] Read More.13 hours ago
