Trump signals support for key MTG demand amid her threats to oust Johnson
Former President Trump appears to be showing some support for a key demand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has made of Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., amid her threats to force a House-wide vote on the GOP leader’s ouster. Greene took to social media on Tuesday evening to share a photo of a document shared with her by Trump. It shows an image of a reporter’s X post citing Johnson’s comments in a Tuesday morning press conference that the House was “looking very intently” at ways to defund Special Counsel Jack Smith’s probe into the former president. Underneath the post is what appears to be Trump’s handwriting with the brief inscription, “Great!” followed by his signature. Greene’s office told Fox News Digital on Wednesday morning that the message was sent to Greene by Trump. Fox News Digital reached out to a spokesperson for Trump for further comment. ANTI-MCCARTHY GOP REBELS DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM PUSH TO OUST SPEAKER JOHNSON “I’m fighting for President Trump, our Republican majority, and every person who believes in our America First agenda. Proud to have the support of President Trump, and he has mine!” Greene wrote when sharing the message on X. Defunding the special counsel’s office is one of several demands Greene and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., shared with Johnson earlier this week. Johnson, who has insisted he is not negotiating with the GOP rebels, similarly appeared to show support for the idea while downplaying their role in promoting it. 2 HOUSE REPUBLICANS MOVE TO OUST SPEAKER JOHNSON 6 MONTHS AFTER HE TOOK GAVEL “There’s discussion this week, as there has been for a long, long time, about what is the most effective way for Congress to take the reins of that and ensure that the special counsels are not abusing the law themselves,” Johnson said Tuesday morning. “There’s a lot of ideas about that. Discussions this week are nothing new, but we’re looking very intently at it because I think the problem has reached a crescendo.” The most likely place for that funding battle would be the looming fiscal year 2025 government funding talks, but Republicans face an uphill battle getting it across the finish line. Any proposal to defund Smith’s probe is likely to die in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Massie and Greene, along with Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., are threatening to force a House-wide vote on Johnson’s ouster via a procedure known as a motion to vacate the chair. The push has fallen mostly flat among the House Republican conference, however, where even the speaker’s critics in the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus have shown little appetite for another three weeks of chaos like what followed the ouster of ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. MASSIE THREATENS TO OUST SPEAKER JOHNSON IF HE DOESN’T STEP DOWN OVER FOREIGN AID PLAN Trump himself has voiced support for Johnson both publicly and privately amid Greene’s ouster threats. “It’s not like he can go and do whatever he wants to do,” Trump said earlier this month to radio host John Fredericks, citing Johnson’s razor-thin House majority. “I think he’s a very good person. You know, he stood very strongly with me on NATO when I said NATO has to pay up… It’s a tough situation when you have. I think he’s a very good man. I think he’s trying very hard.” He also referenced the November elections just six months away. Rep. Dan Meuser, R-Pa., another Trump ally, told Fox News Digital on Tuesday, “I was with President Trump over the weekend. He’s with Mike Johnson.” “He thinks he’s doing his best in a difficult situation,” Meuser said when asked for details of their conversation. Of the motion to vacate, Meuser said of Trump, “I think he would prefer that not to occur right now.” Fox News Digital reached out to Johnson’s office for comment on Greene’s push.
Georgia court of appeals to review Trump’s bid to disqualify DA Fani Willis
The Georgia Court of Appeals has agreed to review former President Donald Trump’s application to appeal Judge Scott McAfee’s ruling to keep embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on the case. Judge McAfee’s order in March said that special prosecutor Nathan Wade had to be removed in order to keep Willis from disqualification in the Trump election interference case in Georgia. Willis and Wade were alleged to have had an “improper” affair. Trump and several co-defendants alleged Willis and Wade were romantically involved prior to his hiring and that she financially benefited from the relationship. Both Willis and Wade denied those allegations. Judge McAfee allowed the defense to appeal his ruling, and the appeals court announced Wednesday that they will hear the defense’s case to still have Willis disqualified. FANI WILLIS SUGGESTS SHE WON’T TESTIFY IN ‘UNLAWFUL’ GEORGIA SENATE INVESTIGATION “The GA Court of Appeals has GRANTED President Trump’s Application for Interlocutory Appeal from the trial court’s order refusing to disqualify Fulton County DA Fani Willis!!!,” Trump attorney Steve Sadow said in a statement on X. A court date has not yet been set. Fox News’ Claudia Kelly-Bazan contributed to this report.
Fani Willis suggests she won’t testify in ‘unlawful’ Georgia Senate investigation
Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis suggested the state Senate’s investigation into her was “unlawful” and indicated she would not cooperate with a subpoena from them. “Well, first of all, I don’t even think they have the authority to subpoena me, but they need to learn the law,” Willis said after being asked if she would appear in front of a Georgia Senate committee without being required by a subpoena. When a reporter pressed her on it, asking “yes or no” if she would appear, Willis said, “I will not appear to anything that is unlawful.” NPR CEO KATHERINE MAHER DECLINES HOUSE HEARING INVITE AMID BIAS SCANDAL The district attorney’s responses were prompted by the committee chairman, Republican Bill Cowsert, and his reported claim that he would subpoena her if she did not appear on her own. A Republican-led Georgia Senate investigative committee was established in January to investigate whether Willis misused taxpayer funds in her indictment of former President Trump and others on racketeering charges. FLIGHTS FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WITHOUT IDS TARGETED IN FAA BILL AS DEADLINE LOOMS After a recent committee hearing, Cowsert told WSB-TV Channel 2 Atlanta’s Richard Elliot, “If she’s not willing to come and explain her conduct, then we will subpoena her and ask her to come, require her to come.” “I have not broken the law in any way,” Willis told reporters at a press conference this week. “I’m sorry folks get p—ed off that everyone gets treated equally.” WHITE HOUSE LOOKS TO CONVINCE AMERICANS OF ‘BIDENOMICS’ WITH KAMALA HARRIS TOUR Fox News Digital’s inquiries to the DA’s office and the Georgia Senate press office for Cowsert did not immediately receive a response. Trump was initially indicted in the Fulton County case in August 2023 alongside 18 others under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act for their alleged actions in a scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election. ALL GOP SENATORS PRESS BIDEN NOT TO SUPPORT EXPANDING WHO PANDEMIC AUTHORITY Earlier this year, it was discovered that Willis had a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor she hired to take on the case. Ultimately, Wade resigned from the case after the judge determined there were no grounds to disqualify Willis, but that she could only remain on the case without Wade. Trump’s legal team has since moved to appeal the judge’s ruling that she could stay on the case.
Billionaire’s family bankrolling both anti-Israel groups and these battleground Democrats
Several House Democrats facing tough re-election fights have accepted funds from a major political family that bankrolled a number of groups participating in the anti-Jewish protests sweeping across college campuses and in cities across the country. According to FEC data, members of the prominent Pritzker family, the extremely wealthy owners of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, have given hundreds of thousands of dollars this election cycle to a number of those vulnerable Democrats, as well as the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and House Majority PAC — two organizations tasked with winning a majority in the House of Representatives. The Pritzker family, which includes Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, has, at the same time, given to organizations involved with the anti-Jewish protests, which have received widespread condemnation and resulted in thousands of arrests, Politico reported over the weekend. ‘SQUAD’ MEMBER CAUGHT AT FUNDRAISER HOSTED BY ISLAMIC LEADER WHO PRAISED HAMAS ATTACK ON ISRAEL According to the report, the Pritzkers founded the Libra Foundation, a group that funds smaller, more narrow nonprofits, many of which have been active in the anti-Israel protests. One such group, the report said, is The Climate Justice Alliance, which has taken part in marches and used the term “Genocide Joe” to criticize President Biden and his approach to Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza. Another is Black Organizing for Leadership and Dignity, which, according to Politico, has promoted anti-Israel demonstrations, and another is the Immigrant Defense Project, which participated in a protest in Washington, D.C., earlier this year that ended in a number of arrests. WAR VETERAN IN CRUCIAL BATTLEGROUND RACE EXPANDS CAMPAIGN, SETS SIGHTS FIRMLY ON VULNERABLE DEMOCRAT The Pritzkers, alongside liberal billionaire George Soros, are also funders of the Tides Foundation, a left-wing organization that funds other small progressive groups, including Adalah Justice Project, a participant in the protest at Columbia University that was broken up last week. In addition to the DCCC and House Majority PAC, the list of Democrats receiving money from the Pritzkers includes Reps. Mary Peltola, D-Alaska, Mike Levin, D-Calif., Eric Sorensen, D-Ill., Sharice Davids, D-Kan., Gabe Vasquez, D-N.M., Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, Susan Wild, D-Pa., Matt Cartwright, D-Pa., Chris Deluzio, D-Pa., and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash. Fox News Digital has reached out to each of those candidates, the DCCC, the House Majority PAC and members of the Pritzker family for comment. When reached for comment, a spokesperson for Gluesenkamp Perez’s campaign said, “Marie is a steadfast supporter of Israel‘s right to defend itself and led the Defending Borders, Defending Democracies Act in Congress to provide vital military aid to Israel in its fight against Hamas and Iran. She opposes political violence and angry mobs, whether organized by the far-left or far-right.” Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.
Cruz campaign blasts Texas Dem convention for platforming ‘radical’ blue state governor
EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Ted Cruz’s re-election campaign criticized Texas Democrats for featuring Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, labeled by Cruz’s camp as “one of the most radical leftists,” alongside his opponent, Rep. Colin Allred, at their upcoming convention. “Gov. Gretchen Whitmer headlining the Texas Democrats’ convention this year tells Texans all they need to know,” a Cruz campaign spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. “It is abundantly clear that their goal is to make Texas yet another liberal stronghold with the help of leftist extremists like Colin Allred. Texans know what is at stake and will show Allred and his band of radicals the door in November when they resoundingly re-elect Sen. Ted Cruz and keep Texas, Texas,” the spokesperson said. ROWDY ANTI-ISRAEL GROUP GATHERS OUTSIDE TED CRUZ’S HOME FOR EARLY MORNING PROTEST: ‘HARASSING MY FAMILY’ Meanwhile, the convention said in a news release that “thousands of Texas Democrats” will congregate in El Paso on June 6-8 with speakers from across the U.S. “In Michigan we know what it takes to win Democratic seats up and down the ballot, and we know that when we win, we protect Americans’ freedoms and look out for working families,” Whitmer said in a statement. Allred said Texas “cannot afford six more years of Ted Cruz and his extreme politics” while cheering the second-term liberal governor’s invitation. UCLA FORCED TO MOVE TO REMOTE LEARNING AMID ANTISEMITIC PROTESTS, ENCAMPMENT ON CAMPUS “We need leaders who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and work with folks on both sides of the aisle to get things done,” Allred said in a statement. “That’s what I’ll do as Senator, and that’s why I am so proud to welcome Governor Whitmer to Texas.” Whitmer has implemented several progressive policies, including expanding Medicaid coverage, increasing funding for public education, advocating for the LGBTQ+ agenda, supporting so-called “green” environmental protections, and pushing for hostile gun control measures. Meanwhile, Cruz and Allred gear up for an election showdown in November. The Republican senator’s political team says as of the end of March, the senator had $15.1 million cash-on-hand from his three fundraising committees. They note that figure includes the amounts he has fundraised into the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which is the campaign arm of the Senate GOP, and the Republican Party of Texas, which are dedicated to his race. CRUZ DEMANDS DOJ LAUNCH CRIMINAL PROBE OF US NONPROFIT ALLEGEDLY HELPING TERRORISTS The cash-on-hand total is more than double what was in Cruz’s coffers at the end of 2023. Allred announced his campaign brought in more than $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2024, amounting to a total of $28 million for his campaign so far.

RFK Jr re-ups Trump debate challenge, suggesting venue in ‘perfect neutral territory’
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday reignited his call to debate former President Trump, suggesting “perfect neutral territory” at the upcoming Libertarian Party convention as the venue. In a message on X, RFK Jr. acknowledged how both he and Trump are already scheduled to speak at the upcoming convention on May 24 and 25 in Washington, D.C. “It’s perfect neutral territory for you and me to have a debate where you can defend your record for your wavering supporters,” Kennedy wrote to Trump. “You yourself have said you’re not afraid to debate me as long as my poll numbers are decent. Well, they are. In fact, I’m the only presidential candidate in history who has polled ahead of both major party candidates in head-to-head races.” “So let’s meet at the Libertarian convention and show the American public that at least two of the major candidates aren’t afraid to debate each other,” he added. “I asked the convention organizers and they are game for us to use our time there to bring the American people the debate they deserve!” BIDEN RIVAL PROPOSES ‘NO-SPOILER PLEDGE’ IN ORDER TO TAKE ON TRUMP IN NOVEMBER Kennedy said he was “grateful” to Trump for “calling attention to the rigged polling methodologies that biased DNC-influenced media have used against you.” “We have this concern too, and I’m happy to show you the deceptive methodologies used by DNC-allied pollsters who pretend that I’m in single digits. You have correctly characterized these as ‘fake polls,’” he said. Kennedy pointed to polling results from Zogby, an analytics firm he contracted. The independent presidential candidate said that poll shows Trump beat President Biden “handily” in a head-to-head matchup. “I crush him as well, by even more. And against each other, I beat you in a nail-biter,” RFK Jr. claimed. “In a three-way, you are ahead but I’m coming up strong. Two new polls (CNN and Quinnipiac) have me above the 15% debate threshold. Another (Activote) has me at 26% among young voters. And you and I are tied among America’s 70 million Independents.” RFK. Jr. said he is also drawing a lot of voters from former Trump supporters who are “upset that you blew up the deficit, shut down their businesses during Covid, and filled your administration with swamp creatures.” RFK JR. CHALLENGES TRUMP TO DEBATE AFTER ‘DEMOCRAT PLANT’ ACCUSATION Six months before Election Day, Biden and Trump – the presumptive Democrat and Republican nominees – are locked in the first contest in 112 years with a current and former president competing for the White House. Kennedy, meanwhile, has increasingly been challenging Biden and Trump to debate him in recent weeks, hoping to bring his independent candidacy more mainstream. Kennedy’s campaign remains determined to get him on the ballot in all 50 states. So far, RFK Jr. is on the ballot in 10 states, The Hill reported. Either Biden or Trump would be the oldest president ever sworn in on Inauguration Day. Trump is in the midst of the first of potentially four criminal trials and facing felony charges. The Constitution does not prevent him from assuming the presidency if convicted — or even if he is in prison. Biden, who will turn 82 years old just weeks after Election Day, Nov. 5, is already the oldest president in U.S. history; Trump is 77. Privately, Democratic operatives close to the campaign worry constantly about Biden’s health and voters’ dim perceptions of it, according to The Associated Press. In recent weeks, aides have begun walking at Biden’s side as he strolls to and from Marine One, the presidential helicopter, on the White House South Lawn in an apparent effort to help mask the president’s stiff gait. Still, neither party is making serious contingency plans, assuming the general election matchup is all but set. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Trump says keeping FBI in DC will be ‘centerpiece of my plan’ rebuilding capital city
Former President Donald Trump said this week that keeping the Federal Bureau of Intelligence in Washington D.C. would be a major decision in his second term. The federal government under President Biden has proposed splitting the FBI between D.C. and a new site to be constructed in Greenbelt, Maryland. “The new FBI building should be built in Washington, D.C., not Maryland, and be the centerpiece of my plan to totally renovate and rebuild our capital city into the most beautiful and safest anywhere in the world,” Trump wrote on Tuesday via Truth Social. The original post was written in all caps. NY V. TRUMP: STORMY DANIELS TESTIFIES, JUDGE MERCHAN DENIES MOTION TO DISMISS Trump said that centralizing the bureau in the nation’s capital near the Department of Justice headquarters facilitates more effective collaboration between the two. Additionally, Trump asserted that FBI presence in Washington D.C. can curb crime in the city, which has skyrocketed in recent years due to lax enforcement and under-equipped police. “The FBI must be in walking distance of the DOJ building in that the DOJ and the FBI have to work closely together,” Trump said. “A two minute walk to a meeting is far better than a traffic-laden two-hour drive to Greenbelt, Maryland. Likewise, having the FBI in D.C. is important for ending violent crime, which I will do, quickly!!!” TRUMP TRIAL JUDGE COMPARED TO ‘CORRUPT DICTATORSHIPS’ AS STORMY DANIELS UNLEASHES SALACIOUS TESTIMONY Trump has consistently accused the FBI and DOJ of working against him behind the scenes as he runs for a second term in the White House. The former president is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying New York business records in an unprecedented trial in Manhattan. The former president has pleaded not guilty to all charges in the case, while slamming the trial as a “scam” promoted by the Biden administration ahead of the 2024 election. On Tuesday night, he accused the DOJ of coordinating with the White House to snare him in court. “This Witch Hunt is FALSE ANCIENT HISTORY that was fully adjudicated by the Voters in the 2016 Presidential Election. It only has to do with Election Interference, and trying to help Crooked Joe Biden get elected because he can’t do it by himself. It is a vicious attack by the Soros backed D.A., Alvin Bragg, in strict coordination with the D.O.J. and the White House, on Biden’s Political Opponent, ME. IT IS ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, AND STRICTLY THIRD WORLD COUNTRY!” Amid court proceedings, which entered their fourth week Monday, Trump has repeatedly complained that the trial has not only taken him off the campaign trail, but also away from his family.
