#1 Man Found Guilty of Attempted Assassination in Plot to Kill Trump at Florida Golf Club - Andrew Goudsward, Benny Johnson, John M. Cameron, C3, Mary Katherine Ham, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Shawn Farash on X
A man found lurking with a gun near Donald Trump's Florida golf course last year was found guilty Tuesday of attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said on social media. An escalator malfunction and frozen teleprompter disrupted President Trump’s marquee address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, prompting him to improvise. The escalator carrying Trump en route to deliver his remarks had abruptly stalled shortly after the president set foot on it, forcing him to walk up it. Then, after making his way to the podium, Trump revealed his teleprompter wasn’t working. “I don’t mind making this speech without a teleprompter, because the teleprompter is not working,” Trump began, looking a little irked, drawing laughter. “I feel very happy to be up here with you, nevertheless — and that way you speak more from the heart — I can only say that whoever is operating this teleprompter is in big trouble,” he added to more laughs... President Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, the 80th anniversary of the world body. The president criticized European allies over green energy, immigration, and other issues. Mr. Trump also blasted the U.N. as a whole, asking, "What is the purpose of the United Nations?" Mr. Trump said in a social media post after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that he believes Ukraine can win back all its territory from Russia "in its original form," with support from Europe. After several key Western allies of the United States announced before the U.N. General Assembly meeting that they would recognize a Palestinian state, Mr. Trump said that would embolden Hamas. "The rewards would be too great," Mr. Trump said, adding, "Instead of giving in to Hamas' ransom demands, those who want peace should be united with one message: Release the hostages now." Jimmy Kimmel returned to the airwaves on Tuesday evening after his late-night show was preempted for nearly a week. In a more than 15-minute monologue at the top of the show, Kimmel gave an impassioned defense of free speech, needled the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission and President Donald Trump, and explained his comments about the response to the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. "It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man," Kimmel said, his voice choking up with emotion. "I don't think there's anything funny about it." Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show returned last night, less than a week after ABC indefinitely suspended production in response to Kimmel’s comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The decision to take Kimmel off the air has sparked a backlash against ABC from consumers and the entertainment industry. Disney, ABC’s parent company, said it was bringing the show back after “thoughtful conversations“ with the host. Kimmel did not criticize Kirk during the monologue that prompted his suspension, but accused President Trump and his allies of exploiting Kirk’s assassination for political purposes. But Kimmel’s show was not broadcast on 66 ABC affiliates owned by Nexstar and Sinclair. Nexstar said it would keep Kimmel off the air “pending assurance that all parties are committed to fostering an environment of respectful, constructive dialogue in the markets we serve.” Today, thanks to the oversight of Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Google commits to offer all creators previously kicked off YouTube due to political speech violations on topics such as COVID-19 and elections an opportunity to return to the platform. Google also admitted the following to the House Judiciary Committee: The Biden Administration pressured Google to censor Americans and remove content that did not violate YouTube's policies. The Biden Administration censorship pressure was "unacceptable and wrong." Public debate should never come at the expense of relying "authorities." The company will never use third-party "fact-checkers." Europe's censorship laws target American companies and threaten American speech, including the removal of "lawful content."These major admissions come after Chairman Jordan's subpoena to Google and a years long investigation into the company... Divisive celebrity Katie Hopkins says she has been interviewed under caution by Devon and Cornwall Police following statements she made on her weekly stream on social media. The outspoken influencer said she was "threatened with arrest" if she did not attend the interview in connection with her 'Katie's Arms' broadcast that she streams live every Friday. Hopkins, from Barnstaple, says she started the 'comedy pub night' during the Covid-19 pandemic as a way to make people laugh. In a video circulating online this week, Hopkins read a statement in front of Exeter Police Station, where she said her presence at the station was "ridiculous"... Democrat Adelita Grijalva won Tuesday's special election for the Arizona congressional seat held by her late father, NBC News projects. Grijalva, a former Pima County supervisor and Tucson school board member, captured Arizona’s 7th Congressional District, which includes Tucson, over Republican Daniel Butierez. She will serve out the remaining 15 months of Rep. Raúl Grijalva's term after he died in March of complications during cancer treatment. Health officials across the globe on Tuesday rejected President Donald Trump's warning that pregnant women should limit the use of acetaminophen over unsubstantiated claims of a link to autism. Authorities from Australia to Europe moved swiftly to respond to the U.S. announcement, which Trump made with great fanfare while flanked by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “Don’t take Tylenol. Don’t take it. Fight like hell not to take it,” Trump said. Officials will give updates after a shooting at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Dallas. At least one victim is dead and two others are injured, according to authorities. At least two detainees are among the victims, according to two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the incident. The shooter is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, says Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. A DHS official said the shooter opened fire from an elevated position...
