Trump assassination attempt hearing implies failure was with Secret Service

Members of a bipartisan House panel investigating the Trump assassination attempts suggested during its first hearing Thursday that the failures that led to a gunman being able to open fire on former President Donald Trump were with the U.S. Secret Service, not local police. In his opening statement, the Republican co-chair of the committee, Rep. Mike Kelly from Pennsylvania, blamed a cascade of failures by the Secret Service that allowed the gunman, Thomas Michael Crooks, to gain access to the roof of a nearby building and open fire on Trump. Trump was wounded and a man attending the rally with his family was killed. In the days leading up to the rally, it was not a single mistake that allowed Crooks to outmaneuver one of our country's most elite group of security professionals. There were security failures on multiple fronts, said Kelly. The panel comprised of seven Republicans and six Democrats has spent the last two months analyzing the security failures that allowed a gunman

Judges to hear arguments in Donald Trump's appeal of civil fraud verdict

As Donald Trump hits the homestretch of his White House run, the former president's lawyers are heading to a New York appeals court in a bid to overturn a civil fraud judgment that could cost him nearly USD 500 million. The Republican presidential nominee has given no indication that he plans to attend Thursday's arguments before a five-judge panel in the state's mid-level appellate court in Manhattan. The hearing is scheduled to start at noon and is expected to be streamed online. Trump is asking the court to reverse Judge Arthur Engoron's ruling in February that he lied about his wealth on paperwork given to banks, insurers and others to make deals and secure loans. The verdict cut to the core of Trump's wealthy, businessman persona. Trump has decried the outcome in New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against him as election interference and accused Engoron of punishing him for having built a perfect company. His lawyers contend the verdict was grossly unjust and shou

Trump warns of expelling migrants under key Biden immigration programmes

Former President Donald Trump, who has made anti-immigration rhetoric a key part of his reelection campaign, has warned that he would kick out hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have entered the country under two key Biden administration programmes if he is reelected. Speaking to Fox News on Wednesday, Trump railed against two immigration programs created by the Biden administration to encourage migrants not to come directly to the southern border to seek asylum and make the region less chaotic. Trump said he would make the more than 1 million people who have entered the US under the two programmes leave: Get ready to leave because you're going to be going out real fast." Trump has already promised a vast crackdown on immigration if he's reelected, including a vow to carry out mass deportations of migrants. He made similar pledges during previous campaigns, but during his time as president, deportations never topped 350,000. Under one Biden administration programme, migrants a

Trump says Ukraine 'dead', dismisses defence against Russia's invasion

Former President Donald Trump has described Ukraine in bleak and mournful terms, referring to its people as dead and the country itself as demolished," and further raising questions about how much the former president would be willing if elected again to concede in a negotiation over the country's future. Trump argued on Wednesday that Ukraine should have made concessions to Russian President Vladimir Putin in the months before Russia's February 2022 attack, declaring that even the worst deal would've been better than what we have now." Trump, who has long been critical of US aid to Ukraine, frequently claims that Russia never would have invaded if he was president and that he would put an end to the war if he returned to the White House. But rarely has he discussed the conflict in such detail. His remarks, at a North Carolina event billed as an economic speech, come on the heels of a debate this month in which he pointedly refused to say whether he wanted Ukraine to win the war. On

Secret Service failures before Trump rally shooting were preventable: Panel

Multiple Secret Service failures ahead of the July rally for former president Donald Trump where a gunman opened fire were foreseeable, preventable, and directly related to the events resulting in the assassination attempt that day, according to a bipartisan Senate investigation released on Wednesday. Similar to the agency's own internal investigation and an ongoing bipartisan House probe, the interim report from the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee found multiple failures on almost every level ahead of the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting, including in planning, communications, security and allocation of resources. The consequences of those failures were dire, said Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, the Democratic chairman of the Homeland panel. Investigators found that there was no clear chain of command among the Secret Service and other security agencies and no plan for coverage of the building where the shooter climbed up to fire the shots. Officials were ...

Congress moving swiftly to fund government, avert potential shutdown

Congress is expected on Wednesday to give swift approval to a temporary spending bill that would keep federal agencies funded when the new fiscal year begins next Tuesday, avoiding a potential shutdown showdown just weeks before the November 5 election. The stopgap measure generally funds agencies at current levels through December 20, but an additional USD 231 million was included to bolster the Secret Service after the two assassination attempts against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Money was also added to aid with the presidential transition, among other things. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., billed the measure as doing only what's absolutely necessary", a statement directed at members of his own conference concerned about spending levels. Still, it's a no-go for some Republicans, forcing House GOP leadership to rely on Democratic votes to pass the bill through a process that requires at least two-thirds support from voting members. Johnson said the only ...

Trump tells women 'I will be your protector' as GOP reaches out to voters

From former president Donald Trump to Ohio Senate candidate Bernie Moreno, male Republican candidates are struggling to speak to female voters, using language criticised as tone deaf and patronising as they try to win support from women and speak to issues important to them. On Monday night, Trump cast himself as a protector" of women, saying in battleground Pennsylvania that he will save them from fear and loneliness and they will no longer have to think about abortion. You will no longer be abandoned, lonely or scared. You will no longer be in danger. ... You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today," Trump said. You will be protected, and I will be your protector." At a town hall event on Friday, Moreno bemoaned the fact that abortion has become the deciding issue for many suburban women, calling the notion a little crazy, by the way, but especially for women that are like past 50. I'm thinking to myself, I don't really think that's an issue for

US intel warns Trump on 'real' assassination threat from Iran: Campaign

US intelligence agencies have briefed former president Donald Trump on the "real and specific" threat to his life allegedly from Iran to allegedly "sow chaos" in the country, according to his campaign. Two apparent assassination attempts have been made in the same number of months on the life of the 78-year-old Republican presidential candidate. President Trump was briefed earlier today by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence regarding real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilise and sow chaos in the United States, Steven Cheung, Trump's Campaign communications director said late Tuesday night. Intelligence officials have identified these "continued and coordinated" attacks heightened in the past few months, and law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure Trump is protected and the November election is free from interference, Cheung said. On July 13, the first failed assassination attempt on Trump was made

US elections: Harris has bigger cognitive problems than Biden, claims Trump

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has claimed that his Democratic rival Kamala Harris has a "bigger cognitive problem" than President Joe Biden, who pulled out of the White House bid after a disastrous debate performance. Fears over 81-year-old Biden's age and mental state grew after the June 27 debate between him and Trump. Addressing an election rally in the battleground state of Georgia, Republican Party presidential candidate Trump said the world is "laughing" at 59-year-old Vice President Harris. You know what they're really laughing at? Kamala, because they can't believe that she's going to be president. They can't believe it," Trump, 78, said. "You talk about cognitive problems? She's got bigger cognitive problems than he (Biden) has, in my opinion, Trump alleged. This is how we're going to end the era of inflation and mayhem, misery. Under Kamala and Crooked Joe, we had such misery. Think about what we've been through with inflation, with the wars all over the

Harris leads Trump by 38 points among Asian American voters: Survey

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is leading by 38 points among Asian American voters against her Republican challenger Donald Trump, according to the results of a poll. The poll was conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, and its results were released on Tuesday. This is the first survey since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July and Vice President Harris became the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. According to the poll, Harris, 59, leads 78-year-old Trump by 38 percentage points among Asian American voters, expanding Biden's 15-point lead by 23 percentage points since spring. As many as 66 per cent of Asian American voters plan on voting for Harris, compared to 28 per cent who say they back former president Trump. Those who say they will support another candidate or are undecided account for six per cent. In the 2024 Asian American Voter Survey (AAVS), conducted in April-May, 46 per cent of Asian American voters backed Biden, and 31 pe

Trump praises Russia's record in argument to stop funding Ukraine's fight

Donald Trump on Tuesday praised Russia's military record in historical conflicts and derided US aid to Ukraine as he again insisted he would quickly end the war launched by Moscow's invasion if elected president. Speaking in Savannah, Georgia, Trump mocked President Joe Biden's frequent refrain that the US would back the Ukrainian armed forces until Kyiv wins the war. He raised two long ago conflicts to suggest Moscow would not lose the former Soviet Union's role in defeating Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in World War II in the 1940s, and French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's failed invasion of Russia more than a century earlier. Trump insisted that the US had to get out," though he did not specify how he would negotiate an ending to US involvement in the war. "Biden says, 'We will not leave until we win,' Trump said, lowering his voice to mimic the Democratic president. What happens if they win? That's what they do, is they fight wars. As somebody told me the other day, they beat Hitle

Son of suspect in Trump assassination bid arrested over child abuse: FBI

The son of the man suspected in the assassination attempt in Florida of former President Donald Trump has been arrested on federal charges of possessing child sexual abuse images. Oran Routh was arrested this week after authorities searched his Greensboro, North Carolina, home in connection with an investigation unrelated to child exploitation, an FBI official said in court papers. Investigators seized multiple electronic devices and found hundreds of files of child sexual abuse, according the court papers. He faces two charges of possessing and receiving child sexual abuse material. Oran Routh's father is Ryan Routh, who is accused in the assassination attempt of Trump at a golf course in Florida earlier this month. Ryan Routh has been charged with federal gun offenses but prosecutors have indicated much more serious attempted assassination charges were coming. There was no attorney listed for Oran Routh in court papers. Phone messages for Oran Routh and relatives listed in public
