De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump heeft zich gekeerd tegen zijn bondgenoot van het eerste uur, Congreslid Marjorie Taylor Greene. De parlementariër uitte recent meermaals kritiek op de president. Ze vindt dat Trump te veel zijn best doet om de Epstein-files geheim te houden.

The United States Justice Department said on Friday it will fulfil President Donald Trump’s request to investigate convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to former Democratic President Bill Clinton and JPMorgan, as Trump sought to shift the focus from his relationship with the convicted sex offender. The move comes two days after a congressional committee released thousands of documents that raised new questions about Trump’s relationship with the late financier, and marks the latest in a series of demands by Trump for federal law enforcement to pursue his perceived political enemies. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Jay Clayton, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, will lead the investigation. The Epstein scandal has been a political thorn in Trump’s side for months, partly because he amplified conspiracy theories about Epstein to his own supporters. Many Trump voters believe Bondi and other Trump officials have covered up Epstein’s ties to powerful figures and obscured details surrounding his deat...

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration ran a 'concerted campaign' to purge 'woke,' 'left' and 'socialist' viewpoints from top universities, after demanding the University of California pay $1.2 billion to restore frozen research over alleged campus antisemitism

The potential deal comes as Trump plans to host the Saudi Crown Prince at the White House next week, when they are expected to sign economic and defense agreements. Last week, Trump said that Kazakhstan is set to join the Abraham Accords

United States President Donald Trump said on Friday that he is considering agreeing to a deal to supply Saudi Arabia with F-35 stealth fighter jets, which are made by Lockheed Martin. “They wanna buy a lot of jets,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “I’m looking at that. They’ve asked me to look at it. They want to buy a lot of ‘35’ — but they want to buy actually more than that, fighter jets.” The potential sale comes as Trump plans to host Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House next week, when they are expected to sign economic and defence agreements. Asked about the talks, Trump told reporters it was “more than meeting, we’re honouring” Saudi Arabia. He repeated that he hoped Saudi Arabia would soon join the Abraham Accords, which have normalised relations between Israel and Muslim-majority nations. Riyadh has resisted such a step absent agreement on a roadmap to Palestinian statehood. A Pentagon intelligence report has raised concerns over the potential F-35 deal, warning that ...

US President Donald Trump said on Friday he would likely sue the BBC next week for as much as $5 billion after the British broadcaster admitted it wrongly edited a video of a speech he gave but insisted there was no legal basis for his claim. The British Broadcasting Corporation has been plunged into its biggest crisis in decades after two senior leaders resigned following accusations of bias, including over the editing of Trump’s speech on January 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the Capitol. Trump’s lawyers had initially set a Friday deadline for the BBC to retract its documentary or face a lawsuit for “no less” than $1bn. They also demanded an apology and compensation for what they called “overwhelming reputational and financial harm,” according to a letter seen by Reuters. The BBC, which has admitted its editing of Trump’s remarks was an “error of judgement,” sent a personal apology to Trump on Thursday but said it would not rebroadcast the documentary and rejected the defamation claim. “We’ll sue the...

Donald Trump is niet tevreden met het antwoord dat hij van de Britse omroep BBC heeft gekregen na zijn klacht over een montage in een documentaire die de indruk wekte dat hij zijn achterban had opgeroepen tot de bestorming van het Capitool op 6 januari 2021. Volgens de advocaten van Trump is er sprake van smaad. De Amerikaanse president heeft gezegd de omroep toch aan te klagen. Volg alle ontwikkelingen in ons liveblog.

De Venezolaanse president Nicolás Maduro heeft zijn Amerikaanse collega Donald Trump opgeroepen te zorgen voor vrede in het Caribisch gebied, meldt CNN. Bij een bijeenkomst in Caracas vroeg een verslaggever of hij een boodschap voor Trump had. Maduro antwoordde in het Engels: „Ja, vrede, ja vrede.”

United States President Donald Trump said on Friday he wants the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate links between the late alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and former Democratic president Bill Clinton. Seeking to turn the tables after a new trove of Epstein emails reignited questions over his own ties to the disgraced financier, Trump also demanded a probe into US bank JPMorgan Chase, ex-Harvard president Larry Summers and others. Republican Trump accused rival Democrats of “using the Epstein Hoax” to distract from the party’s recent compromise to end a record US government shutdown, and said the scandal involved “Democrats, not Republicans.” “I will be asking AG Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, JP Morgan, Chase and many other people and institutions,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Records show that the...

Administrația Trump propune reguli noi prin care solicitanților de viză de imigrant li s-ar putea refuza accesul în SUA dacă suferă de obezitate, diabet sau alte boli.

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed legislation ending the longest government shutdown in US history, roughly two hours after the House of Representatives voted to restart disrupted food assistance, pay hundreds of thousands of federal workers and revive a hobbled air-traffic control system. The Republican-controlled chamber passed the package by a vote of 222-209, with Trump’s support largely keeping his party together in the face of vehement opposition from House Democrats, who are angry that a long standoff launched by their Senate colleagues failed to secure a deal to extend federal health insurance subsidies. Trump’s signature on the bill, which cleared the Senate earlier in the week, will bring federal workers idled by the 43-day shutdown back to their jobs starting as early as Thursday, although just how quickly full government services and operations will resume is unclear.

The key question now is how far the Trump administration will go - and whether this entire process of regional realignment will ultimately produce a security arrangement between Israel and Syria

Trump's intervention in Netanyahu's trial, breaking all bounds of U.S. involvement in Israeli politics, is a cause for celebration for the prime minister, proving Trump is doing all he can to shield him from the consequences of his own actions

Democrats released emails on Wednesday in which convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggested that United States President Donald Trump was aware of the financier’s sexual abuse and definitely “knew about the girls”. Trump has denied any involvement in or knowledge of the sex-trafficking activities of his former friend, who died by suicide in federal prison in 2019 as he was awaiting trial. But Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said the emails “raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes”. The furore around the disgraced financier is still roiling Trump’s administration four months after his Justice Department effectively closed the case, announcing there was no more information to share. Democrats in the House — keen to capitalise on the simmering controversy — have been trying to force a vote that would compel publication of the full Epstein case files. The newly released emails were written to longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted ...

Calling Netanyahu's trial 'a political, unjustified prosecution,' Trump asked Israel's President Herzog in a formal letter to pardon Netanyahu, who faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in three separate criminal cases; Netanyahu responded to Trump: 'You get right to the point and call it like it is'

With the US government shutdown expected to end this week, the Senate Agriculture Committee scheduled a hearing to consider President Donald Trump’s pick to head the CFTC. Michael Selig, currently serving as chief counsel for the crypto task force at the US Securities and Exchange Commission, will face questioning from senators next week in a hearing to consider his nomination as the chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. On Tuesday, the US Senate Agriculture Committee updated its calendar to include Selig’s nomination hearing on Nov. 19. The notice came about two weeks after the SEC official confirmed on social media that he was US President Donald Trump’s next pick to chair the agency following the removal of Brian Quintenz. Hearings for Quintenz, whom Trump nominated in February, were put on hold in July amid reports that Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss were pushing another candidate. Quintenz later released private texts between him and the Winklevoss twins, signaling that the ...

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump promised a “21st Century” payments upgrade without requiring a central bank digital currency, putting the GENIUS Act at the center of the plan. The law is already on the books; the operating rulebook is not yet. In July, Trump praised the crypto industry, declaring: “You have certainly as an […] The post Upgrading “ancient” financial system with crypto by 2028: Is Trump on track? appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Syrian President al-Sharaa said Trump will help the country in reaching negotiations with Israel, but stated that Syria's potential participation in the Abraham Accords differs from that of other countries that have normalized ties with Israel: 'Syria has a border with Israel, and Israel has occupied the Golan Heights since 1967'

Syrië sluit zich aan bij de internationale coalitie tegen Islamitische Staat. Dit markeert een verandering in het Amerikaanse buitenlandse beleid in het Midden-Oosten, bevestigde een hoge functionaris van de regering-Trump aan CBS, zo meldt de BBC.

The director general of Britain’s BBC, Tim Davie, and the chief executive of news, Deborah Turness, have resigned following criticism over bias at the corporation, including in the way it edited a speech by United States President Donald Trump. The BBC has been embroiled in a spate of allegations that it had failed to maintain political neutrality in its reporting, including in its coverage of Trump, the Israel-Hamas war and over transgender issues. In the most recent controversy, The Daily Telegraph had reported for days on an internal document produced by a former BBC adviser on standards who had listed a raft of errors, including in the way a speech by Trump on January 6, 2021, was edited. The document suggested the flagship ‘Panorama’ programme had edited two parts of Trump’s speech together so he appeared to encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021. “This is entirely my decision, and I remain very thankful to the Chair and Board for their unswerving and unanimous support throughout my entire tenu...
