A super PAC backing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) for Senate is airing television ads in Palm Beach, Fla., where President Trump is spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort, as his endorsement in a competitive primary runoff hangs in the balance. Lone Star Liberty PAC came out with a new television ad on Friday that accuses Paxton’s opponent, Rep. John Cornyn (R-Texas), of having “betrayed” Trump, citing his votes to confirm Merrick Garland as U.S. attorney general and Lisa Monaco as deputy attorney general in 2021. “John Cornyn betrayed President Trump, and he doesn’t deserve our trust” the...

After Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart signed off on the Biden administration’s illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago, conservatives flagged the former prosecutor’s work for Jeffrey Epstein. Reinhart had begun setting up his legal practice while the Epstein plea deal was being negotiated and he went to work for Epstein the day after he left the U.S. Attorney’s office and approximately half a year after the dubious federal plea deal had been handed to Epstein. A complaint filed by a lawyer for the victims to then U.S. Attorney Wifredo Ferrer, a Janet Reno protege out of the Clinton administration, claimed that, “within months...

Chilling photos show the tense moments President Trump and Vice President Vance orchestrated the monumental strikes on Iran while hundreds of miles apart. Trump, wearing a “USA” cap, led discussions from Mar-a-Lago with his national security team, pictures shared by the White House show. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, joined the president in monitoring the mission.

The FBI has fired additional agents who worked on cases involving President Trump, including several who worked on the Mar-a-Lago documents case. A source who confirmed the firings to The Hill said at least 10 agents were removed Wednesday. The dismissals are just the latest in a wave of firings of FBI and Justice Department personnel who worked on cases involving Trump. The FBI Agents Association blasted the move as weakening the bureau. “The FBIAA condemns today’s unlawful termination of FBI Special Agents, which—like other firings by Director Patel—violates the due process rights of those who risk their lives to...

WASHINGTON — The Department of Justice held off on searching President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate for classified documents until then-President Joe Biden could receive a “brief” and officials could “coordinate” with the White House Counsel’s office, according to unclassified emails obtained by The Post. The emails undercut Biden’s claim that he had no prior knowledge of the FBI raid on his political rival’s home. They also reveal the desire by at least one top DOJ official to charge ahead with a dramatic search, saying he didn’t “give a damn about the optics.” The communications, which were first reported by Fox News,...

Secret Service discovered item during security sweep ahead of president's departure from Mar-a-LagoA suspicious object discovered during a security sweep at Palm Beach International Airport ahead of President Donald Trump’s departure from Mar-a-Lago in Florida on Sunday prompted the U.S. Secret Service to adjust the presidential motorcade route, the White House said. The discovery did not disrupt Trump’s travel schedule, officials said, as agents evaluated the item and made security adjustments out of an abundance of caution. "During advance sweeps of PBI Airport, a suspicious object was discovered by USSS," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. "A further investigation...

President Trump and other top officials were caught watching the Venezuelan raid in real-time. Obama watching the bin Laden raid in the Situation Room was a similar moment and photo op. But someone was missing in the Trump photos: Vice President JD Vance. Where was he? Even Biden was sitting next to Obama when Seal Team Six finally greased bin Laden. Vance was kept away because the administration was becoming uneasy about having both men in the exact location, given the security conditions. It was a designated survivor scenario. Vance was involved with the raid: “Vice President Vance was deeply...

Several beauty trends for conservative women have emerged this year, some with a certain underlying level of humor—from the so-called Mar-a-Lago face to the "conservative girl" makeup. What all these trends have in common under the umbrella of MAGA beauty is an emphasis on hyperfeminine attire—sky-high stilettos, fitting skirts, bouncy hair, full-coverage makeup, and conspicuous plastic surgery. Greene said that while she had not previously spoken up against these trends, she disliked them. “I believe how women in leadership present themselves sends a message to younger women,” she told The New York Times. In an interview with The New York...

The most senior member of the United States military has offered a grippingly detailed account of how Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was captured. General John Daniel 'Raizin' Cane, who is Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said 150 US military aircraft stationed across the western hemisphere had waited for weeks for the perfect moment to strike, before it finally arrived on Friday. Addressing journalists at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago country club in Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday, Cane said preparations to capture Maduro and his wife Cilia began in August 2025 when CIA spies began monitoring the Maduros movements. Cane...

The public unveiling of the Biden administration’s lawfare campaign against a past president and political rival came on Aug. 8, 2022, the day the FBI descended on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in search of classified documents. It was a shocking moment, the first time in history federal law-enforcement had acted against a former president. More shocking: It didn’t have to be that way. The Justice Department insisted on it. That’s the disturbing information contained in emails released this week by the Senate Judiciary Committee. In missives spanning the summer of 2022, FBI officials expressed alarm and forcefully pushed back against...

Yesterday, the FBI delivered to the Senate Judiciary Committee emails relating to the search of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Senator Charles Grassley has released what I take to be all of the responsive documents. Comments you may have seen on the emails are correct: the FBI didn’t think there was probable cause to search Trump’s home, but Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice insisted. The FBI thought they should communicate with Trump’s lawyer and likely be able to reach an agreement. Garland’s DOJ refused. The FBI pointed out that President Trump likely had a good legal argument on the documents; DOJ...
