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

Justice Dept, FBI 'mishandling' assassination attempt case, alleges Trump

Former US president Donald Trump has accused the Department of Justice and the FBI of "mishandling and downplaying" the recent apparent assassination attempt on his life, demanding that the state of Florida handle the case. A second bid in two months on 78-year-old Trump's life took place on September 15 at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Ryan Wesley Routh, a 58-year-old owner of a small construction company in Hawaii, was detained in connection with the incident. The Kamala Harris/Joe Biden Department of Justice and FBI are mishandling and downplaying the second assassination attempt on my life since July," Trump said in a statement on Monday. "The charges brought against the maniac assassin are a slap on the wrist. It's no wonder since the DOJ and FBI have been coming after me nonstop with Weaponised Lawfare since I announced my first Historic Campaign for the Presidency, he said. Trump is the Republican presidential candidate, running for the White

Texas jury clears most 'Trump Train' drivers over 2020 bus encounter

A federal jury in Texas on Monday cleared a group of former President Donald Trump supporters and found one driver liable in a civil trial over a so-called Trump Train that surrounded a Biden-Harris campaign bus days before the 2020 election. The two-week trial in a federal courthouse in Austin centred on whether the actions of the Trump Train participants amounted to political intimidation. Among those aboard the bus was former Democratic lawmaker Wendy Davis, who testified she feared for her life while a convoy of Trump supporters boxed in the bus along Interstate 35. The jury awarded USD 10,000 to the bus driver. No criminal charges were filed against the six Trump supporters who were sued by Davis and two others aboard the bus. Civil rights advocates hoped a guilty verdict would send a clear message about what constitutes political violence and intimidation. On October 20, 2020, a Biden-Harris campaign bus was travelling from San Antonio to Austin for an event when a group of c

'Man accused in assassination bid left note with intentions to kill Trump'

The man accused in the apparent assassination attempt of Donald Trump at a golf course in Florida left behind a note saying that he intended to kill the former president and kept in his car a handwritten list of dates and venues where Trump was to appear, the Justice Department said Monday. The new allegations were included in a detention memo filed ahead of a hearing Monday at which the Justice Department was expected to argue that 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh should remain locked up as the case moves forward. The details are meant to buttress prosecutors' assertions that Routh is a threat to public safety with a premeditated plan to kill Trump a plot officials say was thwarted by a Secret Service agent who spotted a rifle poking out of shrubbery on the West Palm Beach golf course where Trump was playing. The note was placed in a box dropped off months earlier at the home of an unidentified person who did not open it until after last Sunday's arrest. The box also contained ...

Will not run again for president, if lose 2024 elections: Donald Trump

Former President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he doesn't think he'd run again for president in 2028 if he falls short in his bid to return to the White House in 2024. No, I don't. I think that will be, that will be it, Trump said when journalist Sharyl Attkisson asked him if he'd run again. The comment was notable both because Trump seemed to rule out a fourth bid for the White House and because he rarely admits the possibility he could legitimately lose an election. Trump normally insists that could only happen if there were widespread cheating, a false allegation he made in 2020 and he's preemptively made again during his 2024 presidential campaign. Trump would be 82 in 2028, a year older than President Joe Biden is now. Biden bowed out of the race in July following his disastrous debate performance and months of being hammered by Trump and other conservatives as being too old and erratic for the job. Attkisson interviewed Trump for her show Full Measure." Also during the ...

Jury begins deliberations on Trump Train encounter with Biden-Harris bus

A jury in Texas began to deliberate Friday whether the so-called Trump Train that surrounded a Biden-Harris campaign bus days before the 2020 election in a heated highway encounter amounted to political intimidation. "This case is not about politics, Robert Meyer, an attorney representing those aboard the bus, told the jury. It's about safety. The civil trial has spanned two weeks in a federal courthouse in Austin has included testimony from former Texas Democratic lawmaker Wendy Davis, who ran for governor in 2014, and is one of three people who was on board the bus and brought the lawsuit against six supporters of former President Donald Trump. No criminal charges have been filed against the Trump supporters, who have argued that their actions during the convoy on Oct 30, 2020, were protected speech. Video that Davis recorded from the bus shows pickup trucks with large Trump flags slowing down to box in the bus as it tried to move away from the group of Trump supporters. One of t

Biden opens foreign policy stretch as allies shift gaze to Trump, Harris

President Joe Biden is opening a busy stretch Friday tending to international allies anxious about where US foreign policy is headed when he leaves office in four month, most likely leaving behind a difficult set of crises for former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris to contend with. But even as Biden launches into a week of talks with world leaders that will take place in Delaware, the White House and at the United Nations, global attention has begun drifting toward Trump and Harris, who are offering voters and the world sharply diverging views on foreign policy. The more I talk to people around the world, the more I get a sense of profound anxiety about the shape of the US election, said Jon Alterman, a senior vice president at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Alterman added that Biden's upcoming engagements with world leaders could seem like a sideshow as much of the world focuses on Harris and Trump. Biden kicks off his sp
