After the hush money verdict was announced Thursday, Donald Trump was not the only presidential candidate to criticize the court’s decision — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took a jab, too.
“The Democratic Party’s strategy is to beat President Trump in the courtroom rather than the ballot box,” Kennedy said in a statement posted to X. “This will backfire in November. Even worse, it is profoundly undemocratic.”
Kennedy’s criticism echoed Trump and the outcry of Republicans after the verdict was read, saying it was “compromising our government’s separation...

For the first time in history, a former president and current presidential candidate has been convicted of a felony. But will he still win the election?
How very 2024: Donald Trump shatters all precedents, breaks all boundaries for what a president can do or say, and yet here we are wondering whether it will even matter.

Robert De Niro — who made a surprise campaign appearance for Joe Biden outside of Donald Trump’s trial just two days before today’s guilty verdicts in the hush-money case — reacted to the news by saying “justice was served.”
While promoting his new movie Ezra on Thursday in New York City, the actor told Variety how “this never should have gotten to this stage. I don’t want to be talking, but I am so upset by it. I have to say something. This is my country. This guy wants to destroy it. Period. He’s crazy.”
A jury in New York City on Thursday found the former president guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records as part of a conspiracy to keep a potential sex scandal from derailing his first presidential campaign. He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11, just days before the start of the Republican National Convention.

President Joe Biden’s campaign reacted to Donald Trump’s criminal conviction shortly after the former president was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to his 2016 hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
Through a statement issued on social media, the campaign wrote that “In New York today, we saw that no one is above the law.”
“Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain. But today’s verdict does not change the fact that...

Republican lawmakers were apoplectic about the Trump verdict Thursday, with many joining the Maga chorus in declaring it a political, sham trial, in an effort to delegitimize the jury’s decision.
Some reactions were brief: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tweeted an image of an upside-down American flag, a symbol associated with the “Stop the Steal” movement, which treats President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win as illegitimate.

A jury in New York City found Donald Trump guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records stemming from a payment to keep adult film actress Stormy Daniels quiet about an alleged affair out of fear that it would hurt his chances of winning the 2016 election.
The jury began deliberating on Tuesday before returning the verdict Thursday afternoon. They were unanimous in their decision — which took them about 7.5 hours to reach — that Trump is guilty on all 34 counts on which he was charged.

A jury in New York City today found former president Donald Trump guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records as part of a conspiracy to keep a potential sex scandal from derailing his first presidential campaign.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11, just days before the start of the Republican National Convention.
The verdict, in the only one of four criminal cases against Trump to go to trial to date, could have far-reaching effects on his bid to recapture the White House in November. The first impact is likely to be a tidal wave of reaction across broadcast and social media to the outcome of a trial with no precedent in U.S. history.
As the verdicts were read, Trump sat motionless between his attorneys, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove. Blanche asked for all of the jurors to be polled, and they all affirmed their guilty verdicts.

For some reason, there has yet to be a mainstream Hollywood feature film about Donald Trump dramatizing any aspect of Trump's life, with an actor portraying him.
There have been countless documentaries about Trump, both for him and against him, and various comedians have portrayed him, including Alec Baldwin and later James Austin Johnson on Saturday Night Live.
The Comey Rule, a 2020 Showtime miniseries based on the memoirs of former FBI director James Comey, starred Brendan Gleeson as the 45th president, opposite Jeff Daniels as Comey.
At the same time, quite a few feature films, like The Oath in 2018 and Irresistible and The Hunt in 2020, have attempted to make dramatic hay out of the political controversies of the Trump years.
However, those who have not featured a Trump-based character have not referenced him directly.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are likely to interrupt one another during CNN’s telecast of the first presidential debate in the run-up to the 2024 election. But they will also be cut off by something else.
CNN plans to run commercials during the event, according to two people familiar with the matter, which has run free of ads for many years under the management of the non-partisan Commission on Presidential Debates. The candidates have in this cycle opted to forego the Cpd’s traditional structure, which calls for a series of debates to be held closer to the November election. They have instead come to separate terms with CNN for a debate to be held on June 27 and with ABC News for a debate to be held on September 10.

Buoyed by a two-year deal at HBO, a weekly CNN presence and a new book, Bill Maher now has decided to describe himself as a “centrist.” Is it a claim in vain?
Having watched his show for years and done several shows with him, I suspect he’s instinctively too “incorrect” to qualify for “moderation.” Strategically, some feel he shouldn’t even try.
The audience for stand-ups and for TV in general is changing noticeably, to some performers’ discomfort. At their annual upfronts, TV executives two weeks ago no longer were obsessed by that premium 18-49 age group, acknowledging that their remaining audience is becoming geriatric – 66 for the ABC network, for example, and 69 for Fox News.
Stand-up comics report their crowds at arenas or clubs are aging as well, and they are adjusting their routines accordingly. Even the jokes seem less coital, more socially consensual.

Representative Ro Khanna, who represents California’s 17th congressional district, held a fundraiser with Paris Hilton and Joseph Gordon-Levitt on May 28, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned.
Khanna, a Democrat, is currently seeking reelection for his seat, competing against 26-year-old Republican candidate Anita Chen in the upcoming November election.
He was introduced to Hilton a few years ago. The congressman tells THR he has had a “long friendship” with Hilton’s husband Carter Reum, the co-founder of the technology-focused venture capital firm M13. Khanna said Reum is “one of the most innovative technology leaders and investors in the country.”
A couple of years ago, Khanna met with Hilton regarding her long-standing push for more oversight of abusive youth centers. The heiress and reality TV personality has been vocal about her time at a “troubled teen” center in Utah, alleging in her memoir that she was beaten multiple times, “digitally” raped,...

On Sunday, political activist Chase Oliver won 60% of the vote and was chosen as the Libertarian Party’s nominee for the 2024 presidential election.
In his victory speech, he asked his fellow party members to assist him in fighting “the war machine,” including the “genocide in Gaza.” He called for the release of the Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
Oliver also demanded expanded work visas, a smoother path to citizenship for immigrants to U.S., the “decriminalization” of abortion and condemned American involvement in foreign wars.
Oliver said he “wants to bring a new vision to the broken two-party system as he runs for president of the United States.”
Oliver was chosen as the party’s nominee ahead of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump, who did not qualify.
The political activist was nominated after seven rounds of voting at the party’s convention in Washington, D.C., beating Michael Rectenwald and Mike ter Maat.

For months, Palestinian civilians were told to evacuate their homes and head to Rafah, a tiny Southern city designated a “safe zone” by Israel, while Israel conducted an aggressive military campaign throughout the rest of Gaza. Israel’s effort to root out members of Hamas in the wake of its Oct. 7 attack has come at a staggering cost: 36,000 dead and counting, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
In recent months, more than a million Palestinians, including 600,000 children, were pushed by Israel into makeshift shelters in the so-called “safe zone” in Southern Gaza.

A producer of The Apprentice claims that Donald Trump used the n-word on the set of The Apprentice and that the moment was captured on tape.
Bill Pruitt, who worked on the first seasons of the NBC reality show, writes in a story on Slate that Trump used the word while dismissing the idea that a Black contestant, Kwame Jackson, could be an early winner on the series.
There has long been intrigue over the outtakes from the show and the possibility that they contained Trump using the racist phrase. Tom Arnold claimed to have seen a tape, and even hosted a reality series of his own positing a hunt for the footage.
In the Slate piece, Pruitt writes that during a discussion with Trump over who should win — Jackson or Bill Rancic, who is white — Trump weighed the choice. According to Pruitt, when informed of some of Jackson’s attributes,...

Former President Donald Trump has lashed out at acclaimed actor Robert De Niro and branded him as “pathetic” and a “wacko” in the aftermath of De Niro’s scathing remarks against Trump outside a Manhattan courthouse.
Trump’s late-night tirade on Truth Social came in response to De Niro’s own blistering criticism, where the Oscar-winning actor accused that Trump wanted to destroy the world. De Niro, who has been a vocal critic of Trump for years, said in prepared remarks on Tuesday, “I owe this city a lot. And that’s why it’s so weird that Donald Trump is just across the street because he doesn’t belong in my city. I don’t know where he belongs, but he certainly doesn’t belong here. We New Yorkers used to tolerate him when he was just another grubby real estate hustler masquerading as a big shot.”

In a post on X on May 24, Eric replied to another post made on the same day by the pro-maga X account.

“The family that gave up everything to Save America,” the caption in Freedom’s post read. “Thank You!”
“And we will do it again,” the former president’s son wrote in response to the post.

First Lady Jill Biden swatted away suggestions that President Joe Biden is too old for the job, saying on ABC’s The View today that her husband, at 81, is “about the same age” as the assumed challenger Donald Trump, who turns 78 in two weeks.
“This election is not about age,” she said, adding, “This is about character.”
“You have to believe [Trump],” she continued, “when he uses words like ‘dictator,’ ‘bloodbath,’ ‘third term,’ ‘violence.’ We’ve seen it, so when he says these words believe him, don’t think this isn’t going to happen.”
Asked about polls that put Trump ahead of Biden, the First Lady said, “Those polls are going to turn, I’m confident of it, because as time goes on and people start to focus a little bit more about what’s at stake and start to become educated on the issues and the differences between the two men,...

At a news conference held by President Joe Biden’s campaign outside the Manhattan courtroom, the 80-year-old Oscar winner, who provided the voiceover for a new 30-second advertisement warning of the danger in Trump’s return, reiterated his concerns to the crowd.
However, after delivering a dire speech warning the crowd about the perils of Trump’s return to the Oval Office, Robert De Niro was mercilessly heckled by Trump supporters as he made his way to the car, prompting the actor to get into a sparring match outside the courtroom.

After reports that an upside-down American flag had flown outside the Virginia residence of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito during the period surrounding Jan. 6, 2021, the conservative justice blamed the flag’s placement on his wife, Martha-Ann — claiming her actions were a result of a clash over a neighbor’s anti-Trump yard sign and a verbal insult.
Now, the Alitos’ neighbors — Emily Baden and her then-boyfriend, now husband — are disputing the Alitos’ version of events, according to the The New York Times, which reviewed text messages and a police call to corroborate the claims.

In a local TV interview, former President Donald Trump revealed a list of four people he is considering as vice presidential candidates.
In an interview with News 12 News Jersey, following his campaign rally in The Bronx, New York, political reporter, Tara Rosenblum asked if Trump was considering former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, who declared last week that she would vote for him in the 2024 presidential election.
“A big night last night, Nikki Haley making her first public remarks since dropping out of the race,” the reporter asked. “She said that Joe Biden has been a catastrophe, and she’s voting for you. I’m sure those were welcome remarks for you, but they also left a lot of people wondering if there is room for her on your team or, better yet, your ticket.”
“Well, I think she’s going to be on our team because we have a lot of the same ideas,...

In a new Joe Biden campaign advertisement, Robert De Niro declared that former president Donald Trump “snapped” after he lost the 2020 presidential election.
“From midnight tweets to drinking bleach to tear-gassing citizens and staging a photo-op,” De Niro recounted at the beginning of the advertisement. “We knew Trump was out of control when he was president, and then he lost the 2020 election and snapped.”
“Desperately trying to hold on to power,” he said while clips of the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack were shown in the ad. “Now he’s running again, this time threatening to be a dictator, to terminate the Constitution.”
De Niro’s “dictator” comment was in reference to his telling Fox News’s Sean Hannity during a town hall interview in December that he would only be a dictator on the first day of his presidency.
The campaign ad then showed a video of the former president saying at a rally in Dayton,...

Update: The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s classified documents criminal case denied prosecutors’ efforts to limit the former president’s attacks on the FBI.
Trump had falsely suggested that the federal agents who searched his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022 were part of a plot to assassinate him.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon wrote that Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team had failed to properly confer with Trump’s legal team before filing a motion to restrict Trump’s comments. She wrote that she found the Special Counsel’s “pro forma ‘conferral’ to be wholly lacking in substance and professional courtesy. It should go without saying that meaningful conferral is not a perfunctory exercise.”
“Sufficient time needs to be afforded to permit reasonable evaluation of the requested relief by opposing counsel and to allow for adequate follow-up discussion as necessary about the specific factual and legal basis underlying the motion,...

Updated, with Trump response: Robert De Niro was the surprise guest of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign for a press conference outside the Manhattan courthouse where closing arguments are taking place in Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
De Niro, who recently narrated a Biden campaign ad, warned of Trump’s potential return to the White House, calling him a “tyrant.”
“Now he’s promising to use our own military to attack U.S. citizens,” De Niro said. “That’s the tyrant, that is the tyrant he is telling us he will be, and believe me, he means it.”
“When Trump ran in 2016 it was like a joke,” he added. “This buffoon running for president. No, never could happen. We have forgotten the lessons of history that showed us other clowns who weren’t taken seriously until they became vicious dictators. With Trump, we have a second chance, and no one is laughing now.

Former President Donald Trump honored Memorial Day with a scorching post calling out current President Joe Biden and Judge Lewis Kaplan, among others. Trump initially posted an image of himself saluting a decorated wreath.
After, Trump posted, “Happy Memorial Day to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country.” In the lengthy post, Trump named E. Jean Carroll, Judge Juan Merchan and Judge Arthur Engoron, calling him a “Radical Left, Trump-Hating Federal Judge” and “N.Y. State Wacko Judge.”
Trump’s post received criticism from social media, including the Biden-Harris X account that called out Trump for not honoring fallen soldiers. Other accounts shared similar opinions.
On Memorial Day, Biden visited Arlington National Cemetary and delivered a tribute to the fallen soldiers. “Freedom has never been guaranteed. Every generation has to earn it. Fight for it,” Biden said. “Defend it in battle between autocracy and democracy.

At the Libertarian Party’s national convention on Saturday, former President Donald Trump was loudly booed and heckled by attendees. When he came on stage, Trump was immediately met with jeers. Some of his supporters attempted to override the crowd’s negative reception by chanting, “We want Trump.”
The boos reached a peak when Trump asked the Libertarian attendees to “nominate me or at least vote for me” to “get rid of the worst president in history,” a dig at current President Joe Biden. As attendees became visibly and audibly upset, Trump followed up with another statement.
“Only do that if you want to win; if you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your 3% every four years,” Trump said. After receiving hostile reactions, Trump concluded his speech after 34 minutes.
Despite the crowd’s opposition to Trump, the former president found common ground with voters on several topics.

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign ridiculed Donald Trump on social media after he nearly fell onstage during a Minnesota rally.
“A feeble Trump nearly falls down on stage after he leans on his podium too hard and then goes on an angry rant calling his event workers’ crappy,'” Biden-[Kamala Harris] HQ wrote on X.
This post also included a video of Trump, at the Minnesota Republican Party’s annual Lincoln-Reagan Dinner in St. Paul, wobbling on the platform and blaming the contractor for putting it up poorly.
“You know, this is the worst platform,” the former president stated after almost tipping the podium over.
“Who put this stage up,” he then asked.
“The fricking place is falling down,” he stated jokingly. “It keeps tilting further left. Like too many other things. What a crappy contractor this was.”

After Trump Campaign Posts Video Referencing A ‘Unified Reich,’ Biden Blasts Use ‘Hitler’s Language’
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign deleted a video showing the words “unified Reich” from social media, which caused an uproar.
On May 20, Trump’s Truth Social account shared a 30-second campaign video that displayed a message about a “unified Reich” in America if he becomes president again this November.
The video, deleted from Truth Social and Instagram on Tuesday, had also been posted to the former president’s Instagram account.
It contained a series of headlines predicting “what happens after Donald Trump wins” and “what’s next for America,” with responses like, “Economy Booms!” and “15 Million Illegal Aliens Deported.”
The somewhat blurred text appeared beneath the headlines two times in the clip.
“Industrial strength significantly increased … driven by the creation of a unified Reich,” the text read.
The term “Reich” means “realm” or “empire,” which is often associated with Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich, which began in Nazi Germany...

Nikki Haley, the former Republican presidential candidate, was mocked online by fellow Republicans for declaring that she would vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Haley made this announcement and explained why she chose to back Trump during a Q&a session at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington.
“As a voter, I put my priorities on a president who’s going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account, who would secure the border, no more excuses,” she stated.
“A president who would support capitalism and freedom, a president who understands we need less debt, not more debt,” she added.
“Trump has not been perfect on these policies,” the former Republican presidential candidate admitted. “I’ve made that clear many, many times. But [Joe Biden] has been a catastrophe. So, I will be voting for Trump. Having said that, I...

Former President Barack Obama made a surprise appearance at the White House state dinner on Thursday. The list of distinguished guests included former President and First Lady Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, actor LeVar Burton, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and more. Around 500 people attended the event on the White House’s South Lawn.
The White House welcomed Kenyan President William Ruto and first lady Rachel Ruto. Other notable Kenyan figures attended, as did the Rutos’ three daughters. President Joe Biden honored the Rutos in his toast and quoted former President Jimmy Carter‘s 1980 speech when another Kenyan president was invited to the White House.
“Neighbors do not share a border but share beliefs,” Biden said. Biden’s speech honored the alliance between the United States and Kenya. A state dinner is one of the most significant ways a president can acknowledge the importance of a foreign power.

At the Libertarian National Convention on Friday, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addressed his opponent, Donald Trump, in his hour-long speech to the party’s voters. Kennedy criticized Trump’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Kennedy, who is firmly anti-vax, blamed the former president for closing down businesses and violating individual liberties by enforcing mask mandates.
Kennedy Jr. also criticized Operation Warp Speed, a federal program to develop Covid-19 vaccines during the height of the pandemic. Trump announced the program in May 2020 and has previously taken credit for his efforts to distribute a vaccine. Kennedy claimed Trump “caved into bureaucrats,” insinuating Trump’s efforts were another political ploy.
“He got rolled by his bureaucrats. He caved in, and many of our most fundamental rights practically disappeared overnight,” Kennedy said. Kennedy received a standing ovation for his comments.

If he can’t “punch [Trump] in the face,” as he once attempted to manifest by speaking it out loud, Robert De Niro will jab an upper cut at Trump with words. The actor has narrated a new half-minute ad spot for President Joe Biden’s campaign, which posted it to its YouTube account.
“From midnight tweets, to drinking bleach, to tear-gassing citizens and staging a photo op,” De Niro says in the ad. “We knew Trump was out of control when he was president. Then he lost the 2020 election – and snapped.

Donald Trump likes to tell anyone who will listen that he’s absolutely convinced he will win his 2024 rematch against President Joe Biden. And, according to people who’ve spoken to the ex-president about this, Trump also seems convinced that if he wins another four years in the White House, state prosecutors will still be waiting for him on the other side of his term — ready to put him on trial, or even in prison, just as they are now.

Dave Chappelle said Thursday a “genocide” is striking the Gaza Strip amid the Israel-Hamas war to cheers during his performance in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, while urging Americans to fight antisemitism, so Jews don’t feel like they need to be protected by Israel.
Chappelle’s comments come as Abu Dhabi has maintained its diplomatic relations with Israel even as it has increasingly criticized its conduct in the seven-month war.
Meanwhile, while pro-Palestinian marches have swept across the wider Middle East since the war began, protests and speech remain tightly restricted in the Emirates, a federation of seven sheikdoms on the Arabian Peninsula.
Even before Chappelle came on stage, the full crowd at Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena cheered as DJ Trauma, who accompanied Chappelle on the trip, played the song “My Blood Is Palestinian” by the Palestinian singer Mohammed Assaf. The thousands there agreed to...

Rapper Cardi B recently revealed that she does not plan on endorsing President Joe Biden this year despite having done so in 2020.
Cardi said she’s felt “layers of disappointment” from the Biden administration, yet she does not support Trump’s policies either, she told Rolling Stone. Though she endorsed Biden during the 2020 election, the musician said she would not do so again, citing high inflation and lack of action on her priorities.
In 2020, Cardi interviewed Biden for Elle and encouraged him to focus on BLM issues.
“I feel like people got betrayed,” she said about the two candidates. “It’s just like, damn, y’all not caring about nobody. Then, it really gets me upset that there is solutions to it. There is a solution. I know there’s a solution because you’re spending billions of dollars on any f—— thing.”
In January 2023, she posted a video on social media criticizing high inflation.
