In an explosive hearing in late June, Hutchinson, a former aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified that she was told by Trump security official Tony Ornato that the former president grabbed at the steering wheel of the presidential SUV when the Secret Service refused to let him go to the Capitol that day. Hutchinson testified that she was told Trump also “used his free hand to lunge” at Secret Service special agent Bobby Engel....

The couple will speak at a “Keep America Great” panel discussion at The Club at Sonterra at 4:30 p.m. CDT. Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle, a Trump campaign senior adviser, will be joined by Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale. Parscale touted Trump’s economic record in a release, saying that Trump has created nearly 782,000 jobs in Texas, including more than 69,000 in the manufacturing industry, while claiming that 55,000 manufacturing jobs were lost under former President Barack Obama....

Trump has been vocal in his criticism of Schiff and Pelosi following the announcement of the impeachment inquiry, and Schiff’s summary of a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Pelosi’s announcement came following whistleblower allegations that claimed Trump had asked Zelenskiy to investigate potential political rival Joe Biden. Aid to the country had been held up by Trump around the same time. Late on Sunday night, the president lashed out at the pair once again, suggesting they were guilty of treason....

Reverting to the use of nicknames to mock his rivals, Trump fired up the crowd in Lake Charles on Friday night as he panned “Nervous Nancy” and “Sleepy Joe,” also reviving his “Pocahontas” jibe at Warren. “I absolutely think they’re going to endorse me, because if they don’t can you imagine having Pocahontas as your president,” Trump said of the media as he took a shot at Warren, whose Native American heritage claims the president has suggested are exaggerated....

The former president shared his reaction to the televised proceedings on Truth Social—the social network he created after he was banned from Twitter in the wake of the January 6 riot over fears he would use the platform to incite violence. “So the Unselect Committee of political HACKS refuses to play any of the many positive witnesses and statements, refuses to talk of the Election Fraud and Irregularities that took place on a massive scale, and decided to use a documentary maker from Fake News ABC to spin only negative footage,” Trump said....

“I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of COVID. Don’t let it dominate your life,” Trump wrote in his tweet. “We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!” Shortly after his tweet, a number of Twitter users responded by sharing their experiences with the novel virus, the family and friends they lost, as well as the over 200,000 fatalities caused by the virus....

When discussing racial tensions in the U.S., and responding to Trump declaring himself the least racist person in the room, Biden referred to Trump and said: “‘Abraham Lincoln’ here is one of the most racist presidents we’ve had in modern history. “He pours fuel on every single racist fire, every single one. He started off his campaign coming down the escalator saying he’s going to get rid of those Mexican rapists....

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have blamed Trump for the riots at the Capitol that left five people dead, including Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick, and demanded either another impeachment or his removal from office through the 25th Amendment. Education secretary Betsy DeVos and transportation secretary Elaine Chao both resigned on Thursday, becoming the most high profile members of the administration to leave so far. Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney resigned from his post as special envoy to Northern Ireland and a few more minor figures also tendered their resignations....

Trump, in the period between his account being frozen and being banned, said he would buck tradition by not being present at the ceremony. This came shortly after the recent violence in Washington, D.C., where his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. Five people died amid the chaos. In a poll conducted January 11 by YouGov, most respondents said they support him choosing not to be present on January 20. More than half overall supported this, 45 percent strongly and 12 percent somewhat....

The author of a scathing tell-all book about the Trump family told MSNBC that nothing surprised her about the speech, and suggested the president’s nomination acceptance speech was “monarchical” and “bizarrely convoluted.” She added that her uncle was to blame for making the U.S. a country of “division and decadence,” and said Trump spoke of Democratic nominee Joe Biden as if he were already in the Oval Office. Appearing on MSNBC’s The 11th Hour last night, Mary Trump said: “Nothing surprises me about what happened, but like you I’m repulsed, I’m heartbroken....

During a wide-ranging phone interview with conservative talk show host Joe Pags on Thursday, Trump went over old ground about the 2020 election he lost to President Joe Biden. Asked when he would make a decision about running again in 2024, Trump replied: “I don’t know exactly when I can say it but it’s something I am very very strongly considering.” Although he lost the election, Trump is still the focal point of the Republican Party and, with crucial midterm elections in 2022, GOP candidates are clamoring for his endorsement, ensuring that he remains the center of gravity for the party....

The president told his backers in Hershey, Pennsylvania, last night that America was “winning again” four years after being “not respected” and “laughed at” under the Obama administration. But at a reception for NATO leaders at Buckingham Palace during the organization’s 70th-anniversary summit in London last week, a video published by CBC showed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appearing to joke about Trump with French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Dutch PM Mark Rutte....

In a statement, paid for by his Save America PAC, Trump wrote that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and his group of “RINOS” (Republicans in name only) want to complete the deal done “at any cost” to show they can work with the “Radical Left Democrats.” Trump followed this by stating Republicans should not work on the deal until after they “regain a strong negotiating stance” after the 2022 elections....

The former president spoke with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday night and discussed the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Trump also reflected on the withdrawal from Afghanistan under President Joe Biden and insisted that world leaders had lost respect for the U.S. as a result. “When this horrible situation happened in Afghanistan, it is not even believable how incompetent it was, the way in which they withdrew or surrendered or whatever you want to call it,” Trump said....

Speaking to Yahoo Finance, Trump suggested the GOP could use the debate on whether to raise the debt level from its $28.4 trillion maximum to their advantage as President Joe Biden and the rest of the Democratic Party urge the Republican Party to back plans to do so before October 18. When asked whether the government should raise the debt ceiling by Yahoo Finance’s Adam Shapiro, Trump originally started to discuss the $3....

Jon Cooper, the chairman of the Democratic Coalition, suggested on Sunday that Trump is on very thin ice and—despite his stubborn promises to win re-election in 2020—may not even make it to the next presidential contest. The White House is currently struggling to fight off allegations that Trump effectively attempted to bribe the Ukrainian government into interfering in the 2020 election by opening an investigation into Democratic candidate Joe Biden....

A Fabrizio, Lee & Associates poll conducted for the former president’s Make America Great Again Committee showed Trump leading Biden in five swing states that the current president won in 2020. Those states were Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and make up a total of 73 Electoral College votes. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan were also key to Biden’s victory in November. That poll was conducted among 600 likely voters in each of the five states from November 11 to 16 and had a margin of error of four percent....

Then they had to go and throw all 346 pounds of defensive tackle Dontari Poe right in Denver’s faces — on offense. MORE: NFL playoff picture: Two NFC spots still up for grabs Poe, who had scored his second career rushing touchdown in Oakland earlier this season, came into the game to take a direct snap at quarterback with 1:55 left in the game and Kansas City holding an insurmountable 27-10 lead....

For years, dating back to the 1990s, Baltimore and Kansas City were the doormats of the AL. Not only did the clubs miss out on the postseason year after year, they rarely even sniffed .500. To be blunt, the once-proud franchises were laughingstocks. Just take a look at some of the grim details: — From 1998 to 2011, a period of 14 years, the teams collectively had one winning season and 27 losing seasons....
