In less than a week, visitors from around the world will descend on Atlanta for the FIFA World Cup 2026, but many residents worry that the city’s transit system, known as MARTA, isn’t ready after three attacks in the past two weeks, including one killing. “I’m nervous that it won’t be ready by next week ...
President Trump's top aides so feared leaks about their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files that they held multiple damage-control meetings in the classified confines of the Situation Room, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan write in "Regime Change," their hotly awaited book about Trump's second term.In a New York Times Magazine excerpt, posted today ahead of the book's publication on June 23, the two Times reporters describe in cinematic detail how top Trump officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, gathered in the Situation Room last summer to debate how to manage the growing scandal.The White House is now abuzz over the leak about leak control.Behind the scenes: Vance had "floated to colleagues an extraordinary P.R. gambit — that the White House enlist Tucker Carlson to interview Epstein's longtime girlfriend and co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, in prison. It might help the president if Maxwell was willing to state that Trump had not been part of any wrongdoing with Epstein," Swan and Haberman report in the excerpt, "Inside the White House Freakout Over the Epstein Files.""Vance told the group he believed all the files should be released as soon as possible," the authors write.But Trump, they add, wanted "the whole Epstein issue buried, and he was snapping at anyone who mentioned it. His staff largely avoided the subject in their conversations with him, forced to worry among themselves."The intrigue: Joe Scarborough said on MS NOW's "Morning Joe," just after the excerpt was posted, that "Regime Change" will be "one of the most important books on the Trump presidency."Less than an hour later, Trump, known to watch "Morning Joe," posted on Truth Social: "Joe Scarborough's ever shrinking, low rated show, one of the most inaccurate detailers of truthful facts on television, is being crushed in the ratings."Scarborough promptly read the post on the air.Swan and Haberman write that "relationships at the top of the Justice Department were by now beyond dysfunctional."Dan Bongino, a top MAGA podcaster who was then Trump's deputy FBI director, seethed about the Epstein snafus: "This is going to be President Trump's Iran-contra.""The Epstein crisis," the authors write, "had exposed something that some of Trump's closest advisers spent months refusing to see. The president could break institutions, redirect the federal government against his enemies and bring the world's richest men into the Oval Office bearing tribute. But he could not, it turned out, make Jeffrey Epstein disappear."In the days before publication of a Wall Street Journal scoop about Trump and Epstein, Trump, in an "effort to quash the story, had called News Corp.'s chief executive, Robert Thomson; News Corp.'s owner, Rupert Murdoch; and The Journal's editor in chief, Emma Tucker. Practically shouting, the president told Tucker, who is British, that she must 'hate America.'"Emma Tucker tells Mike: "For the record, I LOVE America!"The other side: White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement to Axios: "Just as President Trump has said, he's been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein. And by releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with the House Oversight Committee's subpoena request, signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and calling for more investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends, President Trump has done more for Epstein's victims than anyone before him."Read the excerpt (gift link) ...

A Somali referee says he was held for half a day before being kicked out of the United States, where he hoped to officiate games at the World Cup.The official in question is Omar Abdulkadir Artan, who recently refereed high-profile international matches for the Africa Cup of Nations and also earned the award for best male referee in Africa last year, per BBC.'President Trump's administration will not allow any security threat to enter our country.'Artan was set to be the first Somali ref to work at a World Cup but was dropped from the list after being denied entry to the United Sates. As one of 52 officials chosen by FIFA, he was attempting to enter the official training camp in Miami.Artan told the New York Times on Tuesday, "I had the right papers and everything. I had the right visa." He also had an accreditation from FIFA before traveling to the U.S.However, the 34-year-old was turned away from Miami International Airport after an alleged 11-hour process that involved a detainment in a holding cell before he was sent back to Istanbul, Turkey, where he departed from.An unnamed official with the Donald Trump administration told Fox News that the referee's entry was rejected because he was suspected of being associated with terrorists."This individual was seeking admission to the United States. Upon further inspection by CBP, derogatory information, including association with suspected members of terror organizations, was discovered making the traveler ineligible for admission to the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act," the official said, per reporter Bill Melugin.

The official said the "traveler" was refused admission and provided immigration forms that cited the law used to complete his extradition."President Trump's administration will not allow any security threat to enter our country — full stop," the official added.FIFA later confirmed the referee's removal to the BBC, saying that "match official Omar Abdulkadir Artan will be unable to train and officiate at the FIFA World Cup 2026 after he was denied entry into the United States."The soccer organization added that it is "not involved in host country immigration processes, including visa adjudications, and has been informed by authorities that Mr. Artan's status will not be changed at present."FIFA also noted that host governments ultimately decide who is worthy of admission into their country.RELATED: Trump and Mamdani are on a collision course about ICE at the World Cup Khaled DESOUKI/AFP/Getty Images Similar complaints were made about members of Iran's national soccer entourage, which the country described as the United States having "revoked World Cup ticket allocation for their supporters."In response, the White House recirculated comments from April by Secretary of State Marco Rubio when he said, "What [Iran] can't bring is a bunch of IRGC terrorists into our country and pretend that they're journalists and athletic trainers."Like Blaze News?
