Comey, who pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Wednesday, was indicted last month on charges of making a false statement and obstruction related to 2020 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee -- but Justice Department officials have privately expressed that the case could quickly unravel under the scrutiny of a federal judge and defense lawyers. Daniel Richman -- a law professor who prosecutors allege Comey authorized to leak information to the press -- told investigators that the former FBI director instructed him not to engage with the media on at least two occasions and unequivocally said Comey never authorized him...

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Love him or hate him, that adage did bear true when ABC semi-funnyman Jimmy Kimmel was yanked off airwaves for lying about the Charlie Kirk assassin in mid-September. Kimmel came back from his five-day suspension to an undeniably massive audience: 6.48 million viewers, according to Mediaite. But if absence makes the heart grow fonder, does presence make the heart grow weary? Love him or hate him, that appears to be true about Kimmel, as well. Despite that monstrous viewership for his return, few of them appeared to have stuck around, if...

Churches across the West are twisting themselves into shapes no apostle would recognize — bending like pretzels to please secular society. They update doctrines, rewrite homilies, and water down long-held beliefs, all in hopes of attracting people who rarely show up anyway. And now the Church of England has chosen its new leader: Dame Sarah Mullally, hailed as a “theological liberal” and celebrated for her progressive stances. But it raises a fair question: does the Archbishop believe in the Christianity she is meant to lead, or only in a softened imitation of it? Mullally, the first female Archbishop of Canterbury...

An immigration judge on Wednesday denied a motion filed by Kilmar Abrego Garcia's attorneys to reopen his immigration case, according to a copy of the decision obtained by ABC News. In the emergency motion filed in August to reopen the case, attorneys for the wrongly deported Abrego Garcia argued that because he was deported to El Salvador and then brought back to the United States, he is now eligible to apply for asylum within one year of his last entry into the U.S. But in the order filed on Wednesday, Regional Deputy Chief Immigration Judge Philip Taylor said that Abrego...

The timing of streaming billing cycles, and a decision by Disney to stop reporting subscriber numbers, will likely obscure any impact on protest cancelations.Disney‘s Jimmy Kimmel affair may be over for now, but the company may have to grapple with the repercussions for some time: To what extent did the Kimmel suspension impact what has become the company’s key growth driver, Disney+? While much of the talk about Kimmel has focused on the role of the FCC and local station owners like Sinclair and Nexstar in the decision, there was also a concerted (and very public!) pressure campaign to get...

Jimmy Kimmel Live! enjoyed a short-lived ratings bonanza after his triumphant post-suspension return to ABC. Kimmel's late night show returned to screens on Tuesday with record-breaking ratings, after he was suspended for five days over remarks he made about Charlie Kirk's assassination. As many as 6.5million people tuned to Kimmel on Tuesday, which was a three times the show's usual audience and the biggest in over a decade. But by Thursday, Kimmel averaged 2.3million - a shocking 64 percent drop since the show's return episode, Fox News reported. Notably, Kimmel lost 73 percent of the viewers in the coveted demographic...

WASHINGTON - The White House released a list of nearly 30 elected officials -- all of them Democrats -- who the Trump administration said incited violence against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents throughout the U.S. The White House named the following elected officials on the list, as well as quoted each of them: Gov. Tim Walz smeared ICE as the “modern-day Gestapo. Gov. Gavin Newsom likened ICE to “secret police,” calling them “authoritarian” and proclaiming a “right to push back.” Gov. JB Pritzker claimed the country is becoming “Nazi Germany” because ICE is “grabbing people off the street and...

Well, that was fast.Just three days after Democrats and the media made a huge deal about Jimmy Kimmel’s big comeback, his ratings have utterly evaporated. Since the beginning of this week when he returned to the air, his ratings have dropped by 70 percent. It looks like his much-hyped return was little more than hype. A sugar-high lasts longer than this.

Sinclair has agreed to stop preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live!, allowing the show to resume airing on its ABC affiliates. Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show was indefinitely suspended by ABC after comments the comedian made about Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged with the murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. “We hit some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” said Kimmel on the Sept. 15 episode. President Donald Trump...

Behar: "It's funny, under Obama and Biden it was working. All of a sudden it's not working. Gee, what happened?!" ... Cohost Ana Navarro claimed that Trump had only gotten reelected in 2024 because he’d been out of office for four years, and in that time, people “had forgotten how bad Trump was. I think it meant a lot to people in 2020 when Joe Biden was first running because we were just surviving that first Trump term.”

And that is, you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. ... Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group ... And for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you're upset.

President Donald Trump is once again making decorative changes to the White House -- disparaging former President Joe Biden in the process. The White House has installed a new presidential portrait gallery along the West Wing Colonnade, unveiling the wall of photos on Wednesday. While the new "Presidential Walk of Fame" features portraits of all the presidents in gilded frames, Biden's portrait is replaced with a picture of an autopen.

No one is buying Jimmy Kimmel's crocodile tears dancrenshawtx: Jimmy Kimmel tried—and failed—to gaslight the country. He tried to score political points by lying about the death of an innocent father, then blamed his own audience for “misinterpreting” his words. Crocodile tears if I’ve ever seen them. As for TMZ? I saw their newsroom’s reaction. Cheering, laughing, and celebrating like it was a touchdown—over someone’s death. Don’t insult our intelligence by claiming it was a car chase. Nobody’s buying that. And “cancel culture?” No. Cancel culture is the unreasonable deplatforming or firing of someone expressing beliefs well within social norms...

Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr blasted Democratic California state Sen. Scott Wiener on Tuesday for calling to break up Sinclair Broadcast Group because it's keeping late-night host Jimmy Kimmel off its ABC stations. Carr pointed to Wiener as an example of Democratic lawmakers accusing opponents of stifling free speech while engaging in it themselves. "And there it is. On Kimmel, the Democrats are engaged in nothing more than Projection and Distortion," the Trump appointee posted on X in response to Wiener’s post... He added Democrats distort the issue by blaming Trump rather than Disney...

Disney (DIS) has had a rough week. It faced a massive boycott from customers after briefly pulling the plug on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” a late-night talk show on ABC.

Disney’s decision to cut the show sparked a huge boycott from consumers, who threatened to cancel their Disney vacations and streaming services such as Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+. Many consumers claimed that canceling the show over Kimmel’s...

Jimmy Kimmel failed to apologize for his jokes following the assassination of Charlie Kirk as he returned to TV for the first time on Tuesday night. The host gave a tearful 20-minute monologue in which he claimed he 'never intended to make light of' the MAGA icon's death - and then proceeded to lash out at Donald Trump over censorship. Kimmel's late-night ABC show was yanked off air by Disney last week after he stated that Kirk's killer was a Trump supporter. In reality, the assassin was a liberal who seethed with hatred at Kirk over his conservative, Christian ethics....

Nexstar Media Group Inc. said it will begin preempting “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday’s return broadcast, joining Hunt Valley-based Sinclair Broadcast Group in pulling the show for the foreseeable future. ABC had said Monday it would reinstate the late-night show despite criticism of Kimmel’s comments about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. But both Sinclair and Texas-based Nexstar said they objected to Kimmel’s remarks and would replace the program with alternative content across their ABC affiliates. Sinclair operates 38 local ABC affiliates, while Nexstar owns about 33, giving the two companies a combined reach of 63 ABC stations nationwide....
