Former president and current GOP front-runner Donald Trump was friends with Geraldo Rivera for decades, although it may be hard to believe now. Their relationship soured after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, but Rivera largely refrained from commenting on Trump, in contrast to his very public feuds with Fox News personalities like Greg Gutfeld. All that changed after Trump’s xenophobic remarks about illegal immigrants “poisoning the blood of our country” sparked widespread outrage.

According to reports, the Palestinian militant group received the final go-ahead from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to launch its unprecedented strike last week. The situation as of Monday morning remains tense and fluid.…

The teenager from Las Vegas caught on camera running over a retired police chief had an appalling message for arresting officers: “You think this juvenile [expletive] is gonna do some [expletive]? I’ll be out in 30 days, I’ll bet you.” But Jesus Ayala, who had just turned 18, wasn’t finished. The arrest report states he showed no remorse for plowing into Andreas “Andy” Probst, 64, after police discovered the gut-wrenching video on Ayala’s phone. It must have come as quite a shock to Ayala when the district attorney’s office charged him with 18 counts, including murder, attempted murder and grand…
On Friday, a Ukrainian missile attack inflicted substantial damage on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet headquarters in occupied Sevastopol. The attacks came one week after Kyiv used British-supplied cruise missiles to strike a landing ship and submarine. The sub, belonging to the Russian Navy’s Kilo-class, may have been a total loss.

The outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs was the subject of an astonishing profile in The Atlantic this week. Reflecting on his tenure under President Donald Trump and anticipating a brutal presidential election, Gen. Mark Milley issued a dire warning: if the former president won reelection, he would imprison his critics – starting with Milley himself. The article portrayed Milley as a stalwart defender of the Constitution, quietly working behind the scenes to prevent Trump from starting a nuclear war. Milley said that Trump would lack the guardrails in a second term that contained his worst impulses. Mediaite’s Alex Griffing…

A federal grand jury in Manhattan had been investigating the couple over allegations three men facing bank fraud charges gave them gold bars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for help. Today’s charges come six years after another corruption trial against the senator ended in a hung jury.
