More than a year after Thomas Crooks opened fire on Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, one of the most influential figures in conservative media says Trump’s hand-picked Justice Department leaders are concealing important information about how the 20-year-old would-be assassin got within a rifle’s distance of a former president — and what motivated him to do so.

In an episode of his eponymous podcast released on Friday, Carlson took aim at current FBI Director Kash Patel, his predecessor Christopher Wray, and Patel deputy (and ex-Secret Service agent) Dan Bongino, each of whom he accuses of concealing key facts about Crooks and the security failures that led to him coming within “a quarter-inch” of making what would’ve been a fatal head-shot on Trump.

He also broadly impugned the Department of Justice, headed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, which has oversight over the FBI.

“Thomas Crooks came within a quarter inch of destroying this country, and yet, a year and a half later, we still know almost nothing about him or why he did it. That's because, for some reason, the FBI, even the current FBI, doesn't want us to know,” Carlson said.

The former Fox News host continued, telling viewers that the Justice Department and FBI “have hidden from the public what they know” about the would-be assassin and stating that his report would “reveal details of Crooks’ social media accounts” while asking why the FBI was keeping his views a secret.

He then launches into a surprisingly detailed account of how he and his staff came to possess and authenticate copies of much of Crooks’ social media history and online footprint, which he says leads to the conclusion that Crooks “was not some secretive lone wolf who never warned anyone that he was planning violence.”

In this powerful Vlog~on~a~Blog NEWS episode, Craig Winn and co~host Kevin break down the global unraveling now accelerating across politics, religion, economics, and war. Together they expose NATO’s collapse in Ukraine, the bribery-driven rise of Trump and the Fourth Reich, the Islamic origins of modern terror, and the catastrophic missteps dragging Israel into Ya’aqob’s Time of Trouble. Drawing directly from Yahowah’s prophets, Craig and Kevin reveal how U.S. corruption, Middle Eastern alliances, artificial chaos, and escalating wars align perfectly with prophetic warnings ~ exposing the lies behind Gaza, the deep roots of Islam, and the dangerous illusions shaping world events today.

United States President Donald Trump has called on Congress to make public additional files related to the notorious late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, in a reversal of his earlier opposition to the documents’ release.

“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide,” Trump wrote late Sunday on his Truth Social platform.

“We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party.”

Trump’s shift comes as a growing number of Republican lawmakers have joined Democrats to back legislation that would compel the US Justice Department to unseal all remaining Epstein-related records.

Democrats and a handful of Republicans reached 218 signatures on Wednesday to force a floor vote on a bill to release the files within 30 days.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act appears poised to clear the House of Representatives, although its prospects in the Senate remain uncertain.

Republican Representative Thomas Massie, a co-sponsor of the bill, told ABC News on Sunday that as many as 100 Republicans could vote in favour.

The president’s remarks also come amid an unusually public rupture with parts of his political base, including a highly visible split with Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, once among his closest allies.

MOSCOW, November 17. /TASS/. Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council and former Defense Minister Rustem Umerov has extended his foreign visit amid reports about his possible involvement in the high-profile corruption scandal gripping his government, a member of Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada, or parliament, said.

"Umerov’s official trip was to be completed yesterday. He has extended it until November 19. Well, Rustem, we are waiting," Alexey Goncharenko (designated as terrorist and extremist in Russia) wrote on his Telegram channel.

A number of Telegram channels had reported that Umerov refused to return to Ukraine.

US President Donald Trump has said he will take legal action against the BBC over how his speech was edited by Panorama, after the corporation apologised but refused to compensate him.

Speaking to reporters on board Air Force One on Friday evening, Trump said: "We'll sue them for anywhere between $1bn [£759m] and $5bn, probably sometime next week."

On Thursday, the BBC said the edit of the 6 January 2021 speech had unintentionally given "the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action" and said it would not be broadcast again.

The corporation apologised to the president but said it would not pay financial compensation.

The BBC released that statement after Trump's lawyers threatened to sue the BBC for $1bn in damages unless the corporation issued a retraction, apology and paid him compensation.

"I think I have to do it," Trump told reporters of his plan to take legal action. "They cheated. They changed the words coming out of my mouth."

The controversy stems from the way in which Trump's 6 January 2021 speech was edited by Panorama for a documentary which aired in October 2024. During his address, he told supporters: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women."

More than 50 minutes later in the speech, he said: "And we fight. We fight like hell."

In the Panorama programme the clip shows him as saying: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol... and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell."

Controversy around how Trump's speech was edited has led to the resignations of BBC director general Tim Davie and head of news Deborah Turness.

The convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein apparently served as a behind-the-scenes adviser to the former Trump official and Maga influencer Steve Bannon during an August 2018 media campaign to defend Trump and his agenda, and to promote Bannon’s media ventures.

Text messages released by the House oversight committee on Wednesday detail a six-day exchange between the men from 17 to 23 August, and show Epstein coaching Bannon on television appearances and political messaging.

One side of the conversation is sent from an iMessage account associated with an Epstein email address, and while the name of Epstein’s correspondent is redacted in the documents as released, contextual clues – including references to Fox News appearances, his August 2017 firing from the White House and his work on the documentary Trump @War – make it clear the other participant is Bannon.

It is not known whether the released material is excerpted from a longer conversation. Bannon did not reply to multiple requests for comment from the Guardian. When Elon Musk said earlier this year that “Bannon is in the Epstein files”, Bannon told the Independent he wanted a special investigator to look into “all” the Epstein documents.

The exchanges offer a detailed picture of Bannon’s efforts to continue supporting Trump a year after his acrimonious departure from the White House, and show Epstein’s close involvement in crafting messaging on tax cuts, immigration and even security clearance revocations.

They also show the two men’s responses to breaking scandals. When news broke on 23 August that the National Enquirer publisher David Pecker had received immunity in the Michael Cohen case, Bannon texted “Huge event huge”, followed by “More women payoffs coming.”

Fewer than half of Americans now say religion is an important part of their daily lives, a 17 percentage point drop since 2015, which ranks among the largest declines in the world, according to a new Gallup poll.

Why it matters: The U.S. was once exceptional for its high religiosity among wealthy nations. The shift reflects profound cultural changes that could reshape politics, social ties and even national identity.

By the numbers: In the latest Gallup Poll released Thursday, only 49% of U.S. adults say religion is essential to their daily life, down from 66% in 2015.

That decline is among the biggest measured globally since 2007, Gallup said.
Among 38 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations, a median of 36% of adults call religion important — a figure the U.S. is rapidly approaching.

What they're saying: "Such large declines are rare," Gallup researchers Benedict Vigers and Julie Ray wrote.

Vigers and Ray said that only 14 out of more than 160 countries have seen drops of over 15 percentage points in religious importance over the past decade.
"The U.S. increasingly stands as an outlier: less religious than much of the world, but still more devout than most of its economic peers."

NBC late night host Seth Meyers has consistently made President Trump the target of his jokes. The latest bits include Meyers teasing about a recent decline in Republican support of the president and his recent comments to Fox News host Laura Ingraham that America doesn't have enough skilled workers for certain jobs.

Trump seems to have had enough with Meyers, as he had with late night hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel.

"NBC's Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)," the president posted on Truth Social on Nov. 15. "He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his "show" is a Ratings DISASTER. Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!"

Less than an hour later Trump's tirade was reposted on X by Brendan Carr, chairperson of the Federal Communications Commission, the independent agency that regulates radio, TV, wire, satellite and cable across the country.

While the FCC can fine broadcasters for indecency, it has limited authority over content. According to its website, "The limitations on the FCC's power to restrict or ban speech begin with the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which decrees that the federal government 'shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.'"

Carr's repost drew quick criticism.

In an email to NPR, Lisa Macpherson, policy director at the consumer advocacy group Public Knowledge, wrote that Carr's intervention is "a distortion of the FCC's authorities in an effort to force the media to toe the line for President Trump."
