Speaking with conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Monday, Trump cast Obama as indecisive and weak in his dealings with Iran, criticizing the former president for not ordering Soleimani’s death himself. “Obama was letting them get away with murder, in the true sense murder,” Trump told Limbaugh. Soleimani—killed in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad last week—commanded the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) Quds Force and oversaw Iran’s foreign military and covert operations....

“Twitter refuses to allow the any [sic] mention of the Biden corruption story which was carried so well on @TuckerCarlson last night,” the president tweeted. “It’s the biggest story and Big Tech, together with the Lamestream Media, isn’t allowing a word to be said about it.” Trump is referencing an interview given by Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate for Hunter Biden, on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight on Tuesday night, in which he claims to have information on the former vice president’s alleged involvement with business dealings in China....

Doug Heye, who used to serve as the spokesman for the Republican National Committee, said to CNN on Wednesday that though he believes Trump is still the GOP “alpha dog,” he is less so now than he was “three or four weeks ago.” The first of the January 6 public hearings took place on June 9. The House committee held its seventh hearing Tuesday, focusing on plans from right-wing extremist groups to storm the Capitol and Trump’s alleged encouragement of those groups, including in tweets telling supporters that his January 6 rally would be “wild....

The photo shows Lara, President Donald Trump’s campaign adviser and daughter-in-law, posing alongside Ivanka Trump, Guilfoyle, Tiffany Trump and Melania Trump. The picture seems to have been taken during Tuesday’s presidential debate, which was held at Case Western Reserve University’s Health Education Campus in Cleveland.

Trump provoked outrage when he tweeted that the congresswomen should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came.” Without mentioning anyone by name, the implication was that he was referring to the four members of the so-called “Squad,” a group of women from different ethnic backgrounds, including first-term Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.)...

“This ambassador that everyone says is so wonderful, she wouldn’t hang my picture in the embassy,” Trump said during the phone interview. “This was not an angel, this woman…This was not a baby that we’re dealing with.” The president also falsely accused the former ambassador of being an “Obama person.” Yovanovitch was appointed ambassador under several different presidents, both Republican and Democrat, and began serving in Ukraine in August 2016....

While Congress is yet to pass a further such bill, with the HEROES Act passing the House before stalling in the Senate, the president said he believes bipartisan action will be taken in the coming weeks. Asked about whether people will receive a second stimulus check, following the $1,200 direct payments from the CARES Act, in an interview with Scripps Networks, the president said another package was coming. Told about people having spent their first economic impact payments and asked “are you going to get them a second stimulus check?...

Morgan released a promotional video last week of the tense interview for his show Piers Morgan Uncensored. The video paired clips of the two arguing about the results of the 2020 presidential election and appeared to show Trump getting angry and leaving the interview. The interview concluded Tuesday afternoon, putting an end to speculation about how it would end. Ultimately, Trump only left after Morgan concluded the interview. Still, Morgan defended the promotional video, arguing that it was not misleading because Trump still appeared “angry” when he left just minutes after Morgan and Trump’s communication director Taylor Budowich got into a spat about the length of the interview....

Riggleman, who has also served as an adviser to the House select committee investigating the riot, said in an upcoming Sunday interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes that he believes former President Donald Trump’s White House’s “connections” to the event “need to be explored more.” “You get a real ‘a-ha’ moment when you see that the White House switchboard had connected to a rioter’s phone while it’s happening, that’s a pretty big ‘a-ha’ moment,” the former congressman said....

The TSA will fine offenders $250 for not wearing a mask where one is required and this amount will rise with repeated offenses up to as much as $1,500, the agency said in a statement. “Based on substantial aggravating or mitigating factors, TSA may seek a sanction amount that falls outside these ranges. TSA has provided transportation system operators specific guidance on how to report violations so that TSA may issue penalties to those who refuse to wear a face mask,” TSA said....

NEW ORLEANS — Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim already was feeling queasy when his Orangemen gathered to watch videotape in preparation for their Final Four semifinal against Texas. Soon after assistant coach Mike Hopkins arrived, he began to grow seasick, too, though the Marriott New Orleans, where the team was meeting, was very much on dry land. Ostensibly, the problem was something the coaches ate and not the prospect of trying to contain Longhorns All-American point guard T....

Tagovailoa – in the conversation to be taken with the top pick in the 2020 NFL Draft – suffered a season-ending dislocated hip and posterior wall fracture on Saturday. The 21-year-old Alabama star was carted off during the team’s 38-7 win over Mississippi State in a blow to his draft hopes. Alabama said Tagovailoa “has a good shot at being cleared to return to football activities in six-to-eight months and a good chance of playing football next season”....

PSG continued their march to the Ligue 1 title, moving their lead atop the standings out to 11 points with victory in the top of the table clash. Goals from Kylian Mbappe and Neymar effectively settled the result but despite Nicolas Pepe’s consolation goal from the penalty spot in injury time, the German coach lauded his team’s overall discipline. The 45-year-old went on to say, even mere weeks after a 5-0 thumping of Olympique Lyon, it was PSG’s best performance of the season so far....

In the clip, the person who Carlson says is Cuomo appears to be discussing what he calls false accusations leveled against him by the media. Carlson introduced the clip by saying Cuomo was prone to the “most overheated possible moral lectures,” saying Cuomo “scolds” people for “not living up to his high ethical standards.” Carlson also claimed there were “many” tapes of conversations between the Cuomo and Cohen. “I’m always careful when I talk to media,” the person who Carlson says is Cuomo says in the clip....

Throughout the clip, Carlson recalls various moments from O’Rourke’s campaign. He began the clip sarcastically saying: “He was such an amazing guy that he didn’t actually need to campaign.” Before cutting to various short, iPhone-shot clips from the campaign, Carlson remarked: “He just needed a camera that would show the rest of us what his life was like.” Carlson then turned to media attention surrounding O’Rourke: “When Beto announced, the reaction was from the press immediate and enthusiastic…‘He was real....

Matt Dolan, unlike other Ohio GOP Senate candidates, hasn’t boasted his allegiance to Trump. In fact, Dolan accused the former president of “perpetuat[ing] lies” about the outcome of the 2020 election. Though Dolan might not be his first pick, other GOP candidates have fallen out of Trump’s good graces, leaving his future endorsement in doubt. During meetings and phone calls, Trump has been asking aides and allies about Dolan’s campaign, Politico reported Monday....

The request for a deposition from the former president comes as the state continues to pursue a civil investigation into whether the company committed financial fraud when offering valuations of its various properties, The Post wrote. James said in the past this investigation focused on whether valuations were inflated when the company was seeking funding and deflated when paying taxes. Newsweek contacted James’ office to confirm the accuracy of the report and was told by a spokesperson that they were “not commenting on the matter” and could neither confirm nor deny the report....
