FBI agents raided Mar-a-Lago on August 8, 2022, seizing 20 boxes containing classified documents. The DOJ is investigating whether the documents were being improperly stored at Trump’s Florida home. The investigation has led to security concerns, but Trump has maintained that he did nothing wrong, claiming that the investigation is part of a witch hunt against him. Trump’s attorneys, in a letter Monday night, acknowledged that they are preparing for a potential indictment related to the case....

Trump made the remarks during a campaign rally in Prescott, Arizona on Monday. The president’s supporters cheered when he said that the public was tiring of the pandemic, while insulting the news network and claiming it is attempting to dissuade voters from participating in the election. “Pandemic, they’re getting tired of the pandemic, aren’t they?” Trump said. “You turn on CNN, that’s all they cover. ‘Covid, covid, pandemic. Covid, covid, covid....

“Maybe it’s a nice present. Maybe it’s a present where he sends me a beautiful vase, as opposed to a missile test,” Trump told reporters during a teleconference Tuesday, according to NPR. After negotiations between Trump and Kim Jong Un regarding North Korea’s denuclearization stalled, tensions between the two countries mounted. In April, the North Korean leader set an end-of-the-year deadline for negotiations but the two sides appear to be at an impasse....

The president delivered a characteristically bombastic speech in Milwaukee, touching on multiple foreign policy issues that have come to the fore in recent months. Among them was America’s controversial continued presence in Syria, the recent assassination of Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani and subsequent retaliatory missile attacks. “People said to me, ‘Why are you staying in Syria,’” Trump said Tuesday. “Because I kept the oil, which frankly we should have done in Iraq,” he added, to cheers and applause from the audience....

The president railed against Democrats over “voter fraud” and their attempt to “steal this election” as he laid out why no stimulus relief package has made it through Congress since the March CARES Act. Trump’s executive orders extend eviction moratoriums and extend payroll tax cuts for employers through the end of the year, although Trump said “if I get elected in November,” he may extend payroll tax cuts “permanently.” The president’s executive actions also expand military veteran benefits and divert Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and CARES Act money in order to fund federal unemployment insurance (UI) payments to jobless Americans....

Donald Trump Jr. said the move announced by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) on Thursday morning was “such bulls***” and would allow Democratic nominee Joe Biden to be fed “talking points” by campaign staff throughout the debate. The president’s younger son Eric Trump made a similar remark, suggesting the Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would have “12 teleprompters” and more than a dozen campaign staff at the ready if the head-to-head was held remotely....

Polls show Trump is more popular in the state than President Joe Biden. Trump had a 53 percent approval rating, according to a recent a Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll, the highest he’s ever received in Iowa. Biden languished at 31 percent. Attendee Lori Levi told MSNBC that Republicans are about “as weak as they possibly could be in Congress.” She said that in her mind GOP lawmakers are like Democrats, except for senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Rand Paul and few others....

Trump’s exit from Washington, D.C., has done little to temper the excitement of his base, indicating his influence will extend past his tenure as president. Days after the Senate acquitted Trump for a historic second time, his supporters organized a rally in West Palm Beach on Presidents Day to show support for “America’s greatest president.” The former president’s motorcade drove by the rally on Monday afternoon, Margo Martin, lead press secretary for the office of the 45th president, confirmed to Newsweek....

Scully fielded criticism from conservatives on social media over his former role as moderator for this week’s presidential debate, which was ultimately canceled when Trump refused to participate in it virtually. Trump responded to the news of Scully’s “indefinite” suspension from C-SPAN shortly after news broke on Thursday afternoon. “I was right again! Steve Scully just admitted he was lying about his Twitter being hacked. The Debate was Rigged! He was suspended from @cspan indefinitely,” the president tweeted....

According to a review of the Trumps’ 2020 tax returns that was conducted by CBS News, Melania listed $3,848 in income from modeling. The documents did not specify exactly what kind of modeling the former first lady did that year, but CBS noted the income was listed in the “taxes and licensing” section of that year’s tax documents. The document is part of six years of tax return data the U....

“Mitch McConnell has stated that he will not go to the signing of the ‘Non-Infrastructure’ Bill (only 11% for real Infrastructure) or, as it is sometimes called, the Elect Democrats in 2022/24 Act,” Trump said in a statement. “It gives Biden and the Democrats a victory just as they were falling off the cliff.” “Based on the fact that the Old Crow convinced many Republican Senators to vote for the Bill, greatly jeopardizing their chance of winning re-election, and that he led the way, he should go to the signing and put up with the scorn from Great Republican Patriots that are already lambasting him,” the former president added....

Then the financial crisis hit. David Cameron was elected prime minister in 2010, but not without the backing of Nick Clegg (now a vice president at Meta) and his Liberal Democrat coalition partners. Cameron, in his bid to win a majority in 2015, pledged a referendum on the European Union; his “Remain” side lost, leading to his ouster in 2016. Since then, the United Kingdom has been led by Theresa May (also a Remainer) and Boris Johnson (a fence-sitter)....

Baseball’s quiet man, Harmon Killebrew, is The Sporting News’ Player of the Year in the American League. Killebrew, who lets his bat do most of his talking, was selected ahead of another quiet giant, Boog Powell of Baltimore, in balloting by A.L. players. It is the first time the Twins slugger has received the award and he greeted the news modestly. “To have the players vote me this honor means an awful lot,” Killebrew said....

DETROIT — The date was July 31, 1981. Isiah Thomas, a 20-year-old guard from Indiana University, had just signed a four-year, $1.6 million contract to play basketball for the Detroit Pistons. It should have been a moment of great joy and accomplishment for a perky young man who had risen from the Chicago ghetto. But there he was, standing behind a podium in his gray pinstripes, telling reporters in a serious and philosophical tone that he felt like one big piece of raw meat....

As the Diamondbacks embark on an important stretch against NL West competition, TSN senior writer Michael Knisley takes their superstar pitcher apart, piece by piece (figuratively, speaking, of course), to see what makes him tick. If you’re squeamish — or an Arizona opponent — discretion is advised before taking a look. The south paw It’s hard to teach, but hand speed is as important as arm speed. And in Johnson’s case, the hand is faster than the eye....

BOSTON, Mass. — Since its organization in the fall of 1946, the National Basketball Association has had slightly more than 4,500 games. A study of the official NBA Guide and the results of the first quarter of this season’s games shows that eight different fellows have had 50-point outings on 50 different occasions. Thirty-five of such superlative efforts have occurred in the last two seasons with Wilt Chamberlain, Philadelphia’s 7-1 super star, accounting for 24 — with nine of them coming in this young season....

It was the Mbappe show as the 19-year-old forward scored four times in PSG’s 5-0 rout of Ligue 1 rivals Lyon at Parc des Princes on Sunday. Mbappe netted four goals in the space of 13 second-half minutes – no other player having scored four goals in a single Ligue 1 match quicker over the last 45 seasons. The France international and World Cup winner also became the youngest player – at 19 years and nine months – to score four goals in one game in the same amount of time....

Borussia Dortmund came from two goals down to claim a dramatic 2-2 draw at Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, enough to give them top spot in Champions League Group F. Aubameyang had given Dortmund hope with a strike following Karim Benzema’s double, with the Gabon international going on to set up Reus’ leveller two minutes from time after latching on to Emre Mor’s pass. But Tuchel had been urging him to pass sooner on the touchline and thought the chance had gone before Aubameyang’s perfectly timed cross found Reus, who smashed home....

The France international, who refused to be on his country’s standby list for the World Cup, scored the second goal in a 3-0 Ligue 1 opening weekend win at home to Caen on Sunday. But with Rabiot being linked with a move to LaLiga champions Barcelona, Sunday’s game at the Parc des Princes could have been his last PSG appearance. Tuchel hopes to keep Rabiot at the club but told Canal Plus: “I’m not certain he will stay....
