President Donald Trump is now throwing his support behind both of the remaining Republicans in the South Carolina governor’s race as he seeks to avoid the possibility of another primary setback this month
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is just hours away from violating a judge's order on President Donald Trump's January 6 slush fund after thumbing his nose at it for weeks.U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema gave Blanche and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent until Friday afternoon to file sworn declarations confirming the $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund is dead.As of Friday morning, nothing had been filed.Journalist Scott MacFarlane wrote that he had been checking the court docket all morning."Crickets," MacFarlane wrote.Brinkema extended her block on the fund on June 12 after ruling that Blanche's verbal claims to Congress were insufficient. She demanded written sworn declarations from both officials.The judge noted that Trump himself said after Blanche's testimony that he wanted to move forward with the fund — comments she said carried "a lot of weight," MS NOW reported.The fund was created through a private settlement of Trump's lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service. Critics noted it could pay Jan. 6 defendants, including those convicted of assaulting police officers.Pooja Boistute, senior counsel at advocacy group Democracy Forward, said after the June 12 hearing she "honestly" did not believe Blanche and Bessent would comply."I think it will tell...a lot to the court that they have represented that they're terminating the fund, and there's no evidence to support that," Boistute said.It is not the only court where Blanche faces jeopardy. Georgetown Law professor and former senior Justice Department official Marty Lederman argued this week that a federal judge already has sufficient evidence to order a criminal contempt trial against Blanche over deportation flights that defied a court order in March 2025."While mistruths and obfuscation may be the standard playbook for the Trump-Vance administration, it is telling that they have repeatedly refused to say under oath that the Slush Fund is truly dead," said Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward.If Blanche and Bessent file a sufficient declaration, the preliminary injunction will remain in place. If they don't, the court has said the case will proceed with the injunction in place.
Zeteo writers Asawin Suebsaeng and Prem Thakker say Trump is so desperate to finally be rid of the war he unilaterally began in February that he is wandering around the White House, bawling in panic that Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu is scheming to drag him back in.“He’s swearing a lot about it,” one close Trump adviser told Zeteo. Another Trump administration official said: “[R]ight now, he’s definitely madder at the Israelis than the Iranians.”The sources who’ve spoken to Trump over the past several days say Israel’s “continued attacks in Lebanon and Israeli leaders’ efforts to pressure the Americans into abandoning the memorandum of understanding with Iran have, in fact, further driven Trump in the opposite direction,” according to Zeteo, adding that “the president keeps venting to advisers how angry he is at Netanyahu and other political and media figures – in the U.S. and in Israel – for transparently trying to drag him back into war, or for suggesting that Trump is surrendering to Iran.”But Trump is surrendering wholly to Iran, according to critics on both the Republican and Democratic side of the political spectrum. As rising gas prices and inflation threatened to blast Republicans’ midterm chances Trump grabbed desperately for a memorandum of understanding that puts the Iranian regime in a stronger position than it was before Trump took it upon himself to invade. This includes even more reparations money, massive sanctions relief, and Iran's continued economic control over the Strait of Hormuz and the ability to extort fees from passing oil tankers.Worse, the deal also helps “solidify [Iran's] international bragging rights for fighting off the mighty war machine of the world’s undisputed superpower,” wrote Suebsaeng and Thakker.Despite his embarrassing MOU, however, Trump remains terrified of the alternative.“What we have today is a quarrel between two like-minded, allied warmongers – it’s just that the American warmonger now seems to instinctively realize how badly his warmongering is politically destroying him and his party at home,” said the Zeteo authors.The White House did not respond to a request for comment, but Suebsaeng and Thakker say Trump’s reticence has nothing to do with mercy and a fresh appreciation for peace.“Trump, of course, is not mad at Israeli leadership out of any moral urgency or compunction. Trump, the ‘lazy warmonger,’ illegally started a regional bloodbath, and he and his administration own the carnage and the coming years of fallout forever,” the write.
