In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar -- a gift that is to be available for use by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News. The gift is expected to be announced next week, when Trump...

VIDEO"Thank you sir! May I have another?"That scene from "Animal House" will reverberate through your mind when watching President Trump doling it out to ABC's Terry Moran during their interview. Poor Terry learned the hard way that when you try to play Fake News games with President Trump, he will go full Animal House on you.

President Trump humiliated ABC’s Terry Moran by revealing why he picked him for “the break of a lifetime” in getting to interview him on his 100th day in office. The commander in chief put the senior national correspondent in his place during a tense exchange in which Moran challenged him about suspected MS-13 tattoos on deported illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “Hey, they’re giving you the big break of a lifetime, you know you’re doing the interview,” Trump said. “I picked you because frankly, I never heard of you.

Election denier and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell continues to refuse to pay more than $50,000 in sanctions he has been ordered to pay to voting software company Smartmatic over "frivolous" election claims. "I'm in ruins," a teary Lindell said through a Zoom screen in a motion hearing in the U.S. District Court in Washington on Wednesday, pleading to Judge Carl Nichols to allow him to wait until after the final judgement comes out to make any payment in the case, which he has already lost. Last month, Smartmatic filed a motion to hold Lindell in contempt, alleging the MyPillow CEO...

Ana Navarro told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump “should be in a padded room.” Navarro said, “Look, you know, if they’re saying that this was all strategic, then he is a sadist because what kind of government leader puts his people through this kind of distress and sadness and anxiety for a week just for giggles? His supporters always say that he plays fourth-dimensional chess. I think he should be in a padded room playing with his own drool.” She continued, “The things he does are just simply lunacy, and we’re not out of...

Sara Haines, co-host of The View, has warned that the Democratic Party’s unhinged screaming and volatile behavior at rallies is not fixing the country and is making things worse for them. Whoopi Goldberg noted that progressive leaders like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., are engaging at rallies “at a moment when leadership roles on the left are wide open.” Goldberg also recalled how Sanders showed in his recent interview that he was “not ready to talk about future party planning yet.” Sanders recently accused ABC “This Week” host Jonathan Karl of asking a “nonsense” question about...

WASHINGTON - Army brass in Iraq whitewashed an incident of a soldier killed by his own lieutenant by blaming the dead hero, stonewalling his family and promoting his killer, the Daily News has learned. The friendly-fire victim, Pfc. David Sharrett, 27, of Oakton, Va., was "misidentified" by 1stLt. Timothy Hanson as an enemy gunman during a botched night raid Jan. 16, 2008, against an Al Qaeda in Iraq stronghold north of Baghdad, the Army belatedly acknowledged. Sharrett bled to death as his buddies searched frantically for him for 25 minutes after the firefight ended. For four months after the Army...

Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump’s second term was an “existential crisis.” According to Hostin, Democrats need to stop playing by the rules. When asked about politicians skipping town halls, Hostin said, “It’s very un-American, and it’s cowardly. If you are just, you know, stepping in line the way Republicans generally do behind a candidate that is harming the economy, I mean, you need to listen to the people that put you in office. Instead of being so concerned about maintaining power, why not be more concerned with helping people? That’s the...

The Walt Disney Co. is slashing just under 200 jobs at ABC News and at its Disney Entertainment Networks division as the traditional TV business continues to face economic headwinds, a source familiar with the decision tells The Hollywood Reporter. The cuts represented about 6 percent of the division’s workforce. ABC News will be hit particularly hard, with the data-driven digital news brand 538 being shuttered, teams from Nightline and 20/20 being consolidated, and all three hours of Good Morning America moving under the same top producer, Simone Swink. The company is also merging its digital and social operations. Disney’s...

ABC News staffers are bracing for imminent layoffs while the division will restructure its programming including the merging of its “20/20” and “Nightline” programs and the consolidation of its “Good Morning America” productions, according to reports. The Walt Disney Co. is set to lay off around 200 people from its ABC News Group division as well as its Disney Entertainment Networks unit — a move that constitutes cutting some 6% of the combined staff of the two units, according to the Wall Street Journal. Almin Karamehmedovic, president of ABC News, circulated a memo to employees on Wednesday morning confirming the...

With Ukraine's future in the balance, a high-stakes meeting on Friday between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy devolved into a shouting match. The stunning exchange, before cameras and one unlike any other in the Oval Office in modern times, saw Trump and Vice President JD Vance rebuke Zelenskyy for his handling of the war, again falsely blaming the Ukrainian leader for a conflict that began when Russia's Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion. Zelenskyy was in Washington to sign an agreement that would give the U.S. access to Ukraine's mineral resources. But that was before boiling tensions...

The View co-host Joy Behar apologized to Elon Musk live on-air after calling him 'pro-apartheid.' Behar made the claim during a rant on Thursday's show against the South African billionaire and his relationship with President Donald Trump. 'The guy was not born in this country, who was born under apartheid in South Africa,' she said, later calling Musk a 'foreigner' and 'a foreign agent.' 'So, [he] has that mentality going on. He was pro-apartheid, as I understand it.' After a commercial break, Behar retracted the comment and admitted that she had no evidence of it being a true. 'Now I'm...

Clinton reduced the federal workforce by more than 377,000 employees. Within weeks of his inauguration, he signed an executive order calling on agencies to cut 100,000 jobs over three years, with 10% or more coming from high-level federal workers. In 1994, Clinton signed the bipartisan Federal Workforce Restructuring Act, which offered $25,000 to buyout non-Defense Department workers. By the end of his term, Clinton reduced the federal government's workforce by more than 377,000 employees. But that all unfolded over several years, and with the help of Congress. In an attempt to defend the Department of Government Efficiency's controversial moves, Elon...

Good. He’s a leftist activist and doesn’t belong anywhere near the Trump administration. Libs of TikTok✓@libsoftiktok JUST IN: General Charles Q. Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters he plans to stay in his position. Brown is obsessed with race-based diversity quotas. He signed a memo stating his "goal" is to reduce the number of White Males in the Air Force. This man cannot be let anywhere near the Trump administration. cc @realDonaldTrump @PeteHegseth

Among the hundreds of people chanting "Elon Musk has got to go!" and "No one elected Elon!" in front of the U.S. Capitol on Monday were recently fired federal workers left devastated and uncertain by their terminations. "Elon Musk doesn't even know my job exists, right? But like, we do a lot. I mean, I'm a public servant, and I do this job because I love it. So, yeah, I'm devastated, and my whole community lost their jobs. And I don't know what I'm going to do now, but I'm going to keep fighting. And you know, this stuff really...

“GMA” host George Stephanopoulos has been “miserable” after being forced to apologize following the President Trump fiasco — and staffers are already speculating about who might replace him, The Post has learned Stephanopoulos has been rumored to be on his way out, according to multiple network sources, since ABC News parent Disney agreed to settle a defamation suit in December over the anchor insisting on-air that Trump was “found liable for rape” — instead of sexual abuse — in a lawsuit by journalist E. Jean Carroll. As part of Disney’s deal with Trump, the former Democratic operative — who co-hosts...
