Former President Donald Trump will not be put in handcuffs when he turns himself in next week, his attorney confirmed to The Post on Friday. Lawyer Joe Tacopina confirmed the news in a text while also giving a round of interviews promising that Trump is now “ready to fight” — with “zero” chance he’ll buckle and seek a plea deal. “The president will not be put in handcuffs,” the attorney also told ABC News’ “Good Morning America” — while not ruling out a perp walk or a mugshot. “I’m sure they’ll try to get every ounce of publicity he can...

The ex-president — who’s seeking the Republican nomination for a third White House bid in 2024 — also wants to avoid any special treatment that could make him look weak,...

We want to see Christin Blasey-Ford in handcuffs along with her co-conspirators. Arrest them tomorrow or Saturday and begin prosecution proceeds for perjury, defamation of character, conspiracy to commit treason by subverting lawful governmental process and whatever else can be charged. All of those people need to go to jail. ANYONE who tries to pull that kind of stuff in the future needs to be behind bars. This stuff has got to be stopped now.

Iran's supreme leader was in a supremely sarcastic mood Tuesday as he gave a speech to a sea of military officials. His target: Trump's first foreign policy moves. “We actually thank this new president! We thank him, because he made it easier for us to reveal the real face of the United States,” said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a transcript posted on his official website. “… Now, with everything he is doing — handcuffing a child as young as 5 at an airport — he is showing the reality of American human rights.” While Khamenei's intended point about the...

Of Perez's alleged escape, police spokesperson Aaron Patty told NBC News, "I've never seen anything like this in my career."

Federal prosecutors are investigating whether a Department of Homeland Security employee with top-secret clearance was planning an attack at the agency's Washington headquarters when he entered the building with a gun, a knife, an infrared camera, pepper spray and handcuffs.

The FBI seized four servers from the State Department building a few weeks ago as part of the investigation into classified material improperly stored on Hillary Clinton’s secret email server, particularly the Top Secret documents that have been discovered in her email trove. This revelation comes from Bill Gertz at the Washington Free Beacon, citing anonymous sources familiar with the investigation. Gertz notes that the State Department referred questions about the seized servers to the FBI, which declined to comment on the matter.

The list of abortionists and workers who...
