Donald Trump suggested on Friday that his administration will continue to pursue charges against people he views as political adversaries, only a day after former FBI director James Comey was indicted. The comments, delivered while Trump was leaving the White House for a golf tournament in New York, underline his growing campaign against critics. “I think there’ll be others,” Trump told reporters, insisting that some opponents were “corrupt” and part of the “radical left.” His remarks came after the Department of Justice announced charges against Comey, a move that drew intense criticism from legal experts and lawmakers. Comey’s indictment was…

Donald Trump has dismissed a top federal prosecutor in California after she told border agents they must follow court orders during immigration raids. The sudden removal has sparked debate over the role of federal attorneys and the limits of presidential authority. Michele Beckwith, who became acting US attorney in Sacramento in January, was terminated on July 15. Documents show she was informed by email that the president had ordered her removal. The notice came less than six hours after she sent a message to a senior border official reminding him to respect constitutional protections. The controversy began when Gregory Bovino,…

Oregon lawmakers have strongly rejected former President Donald Trump’s latest comments about Portland. They say his claims of chaos in the city are false and meant to justify the use of federal troops. At a press conference in downtown Portland, the state’s senators and representatives described Trump’s remarks as misleading and dangerous. Senator Ron Wyden told reporters that Trump’s argument is nothing more than a fable. He said the former president often repeats false stories he sees on television about the city. Wyden stressed that life in Portland is stable and does not match the picture of nonstop disorder painted…

The UK government is considering buying parts from Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) suppliers to protect jobs following a cyber-attack that shut down production. Business Secretary Peter Kyle is exploring options to support companies supplying the carmaker. Under the plan, the government could buy parts from suppliers and sell them back to JLR when production resumes. The scheme is one of several being discussed, according to ITV News. JLR, owned by India’s Tata Motors, suffered a cyber-attack on 31 August. The attack forced production to halt across factories in the UK, Slovakia, Brazil, and India, costing the company and its suppliers…

A deadly shooting at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas has exposed deep political divisions. Republicans quickly blamed the incident on the “radical left,” while Democrats focused on the victims and urged stronger gun control and protections for immigrant detainees. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that detainees were the victims of the sniper attack. Officials initially reported two deaths but later clarified that one detainee was killed. Two others were critically injured after being shot near a van inside the facility’s sallyport. No federal agents were harmed. Authorities said the shooter fired indiscriminately…

Donald Trump has alleged that he was the victim of “triple sabotage” during his appearance at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The former U.S. president said an escalator stoppage, a failed teleprompter, and sound problems were part of a deliberate effort to disrupt his visit. In a lengthy post on his social media platform, Trump described the incidents as “a real disgrace” and insisted they were no coincidence. He argued that the sequence of failures amounted to “triple sabotage at the UN” and demanded an immediate investigation. The controversy, already dubbed “Escalatorgate,” began with Trump’s dramatic entrance…

Former U.S. president Barack Obama has warned that the United States is caught between two competing visions of its future. Speaking in London, Obama described the situation as a “tug of war” between progressives who believe in steady democratic change and populists, including Donald Trump, who favor a return to a more conservative vision of America. Obama told the audience that his successor, Trump, has been clear about his desire to revive an older idea of the country. In this worldview, he argued, the phrase “we, the people” does not apply to everyone but only to select groups. Obama also…

U.S. president Donald Trump has called for a formal investigation after what he described as “triple sabotage” during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly. Trump claimed that an escalator failure, a faulty teleprompter, and sound issues disrupted his remarks. UN officials, however, suggested that at least two of the problems were caused by his own delegation. Trump took to social media to air his frustration. He argued that the malfunctions were not accidental and insisted that world leaders struggled to hear his speech. His post quickly drew attention, but UN officials offered a different explanation. They stated that…

The UK is expected to record the highest inflation among G7 nations this year, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Rising food prices and a £25 billion increase in employer national insurance contributions have been cited as factors pushing up costs. The OECD predicts that inflation in the UK will average 3.5 percent in 2025, well above even the United States, where it is expected to reach 2.7 percent despite the impact of historically high tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. The OECD also forecast that UK inflation will ease to 2.7 percent next year, still above the…
