MAGA world shrugs as Trump reports $2.2 billion in personal gains

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) torched what was left of her relationship with President Donald Trump on Thursday after new financial disclosures showed he personally pocketed $2.2 billion during his first year back in office, The New York Times reported Friday. "The Republican Party hijacked MAGA," Greene wrote on X, the Times reported.Some MAGA voices went further, framing the windfall as proof of Trump's business savvy rather than a conflict of interest. Iowa activist Kelley Koch, who chairs a group called MAGA Nation, brushed off outrage entirely: "Let's just be honest, people are checked out right now," she said, speaking with the Times.Democrats weren't nearly as forgiving. California Gov. Gavin Newsom called Trump "the most corrupt president in American history," while Rep.

Jack Smith reveals the one thing he fears more than a Trump DOJ indictment

Former special counsel Jack Smith has been a constant target of fury and legal threats by President Donald Trump, dating back to even before the election, when the famed prosecutor was helming a pair of federal criminal cases against him.But Smith doesn't dwell much on the possibility that Trump's Justice Department will fabricate some charges against him, he told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace in an exclusive interview on Thursday. There's something he worries a lot more about."Do you think that this is a department that you could send someone to go work in, and they could be asked to indict you?" asked Wallace.Smith agreed "that could happen" — however, he continued, "in the Justice Department, even as we sit here right now, there are lots of people doing good work prosecuting violent crime, protecting their communities, doing the everyday work of being a prosecutor. And yes, it could happen. That could happen, and that would be unfortunate. And then you might have to step down." Nonetheless, he added, "I don't want to see people run from public service because of that possibility.""Do you expect to be indicted?" Wallace followed up, noting that Trump "said he would indict you."Smith replied, "I'll tell you, Nicolle, I honestly do not spend a lot of time thinking about the things he says about me and his threats about me."Instead of that, he continued, "I'm really focused on the people who I worked with, looking out for them. I'm really focused on how the Justice Department is going to be better going forward, things like that."What Smith worries about more, he made clear, is the future of the people he worked with who helped him do his job.Ultimately, Smith said, "I had an all-star team ... the agents on my case, if I were to walk you through all the awards they've won throughout generations of administrations, we would be here all night. These were superstars. I'm much more concerned that those people get to serve in the department, get to serve in the bureau again someday." - YouTube www.youtube.com
