'Stop him!' Senator sics security on reporter pleading for info on sickly Mitch McConnell

A Republican lawmaker called for security and ran away after a TMZ reporter pleading for information about Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) condition. Charlie Cotton, TMZ DC co-managing editor, was walking with Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) on Capitol Hill when he pressed the GOP leader over McConnell's health status, X video shows. "Do you think Mitch McConnell needs to do more to prove his health?" Cotton asked. McConnell, hospitalized in Washington on June 14, hasn’t been seen in public since. Calls demanding McConnell prove he remains fit to serve have been met with staged photos and written statements. On Thursday, Ricketts refused to address the concerns — or make eye contact with the reporter airing them. "I think we should give Mitch the time he needs to be able to recover," Ricketts said, "and come back to the Senate."The reporter pushed Ricketts on his response as he followed him around a metal detector neither man walked through. "We can give him the time he needs," replied Cotton, "while also he provides—" That's when Ricketts jerked back his thumb and looked to security. "Stop him!" Ricketts called out. Ricketts stormed off as Cotton tried to explain he was a reporter who had already been through security. Sen. Pete Ricketts dodged questions from TMZ DC's @hicharliecotton about Mitch McConnell’s health, turning to security to try and shut down the conversation 🤔 pic.twitter.com/Gpr98qHlz4— TMZ (@TMZ) July 30, 2026

Trump says he's open to delaying Blanche nomination over GOP defectors

President Trump said Thursday that he would have "no objection" to temporarily withdrawing acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination until his Republican opponents are out of office next January.The big picture: Trump's threat, directed at GOP Sens. Thom Tillis (N.C.) and John Cornyn (Texas), puts Blanche's critics on notice to what the president deemed "the right thing" after their concerns stalled his nomination.Driving the news: "Todd Blanche is a STAR," Trump wrote of his former personal attorney turned Justice Department loyalist.He added that Blanche would "remain, in any event, as Acting."Cornyn had demanded a written guarantee that the administration's controversial "anti-weaponization fund" was dead.What they're saying: "POTUS is mistaken if he believes concerns about the provisions in his tax lawsuit settlement are limited to me and Senator Tillis," Cornyn, who has broken from the president since losing his re-election primary bid to a Trump-backed challenger, quickly responded in a post on X.Reality check: Even if the president withdrew his name, Blanche could retain the vast power of the nation's chief law enforcement officer in an acting capacity, as he has since this spring.This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
