Rubio Caught Lying to Congress About Trump Constantly Falling Asleep

Secretary of State Marco Rubio tried to claim Wednesday that he had never seen President Trump fall asleep. It didn’t go well for him. Democratic Representative Ted Lieu confronted Rubio in a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, saying that “you’ve been at more than one meeting where President Trump has fallen asleep.” Rubio audaciously claimed that was false. “I’ve never seen him fall asleep. On the contrary, the guy doesn’t sleep, which is a big problem ’cause he calls me at two in the morning, he calls me at five in the morning, and you know, I like to sleep a little bit, maybe not 12 hours, but at least six—” Rubio said, going on a tangent about Trump’s late-night habits before Lieu cut him off. “Secretary Rubio, I’m going to show you in a moment a video that shows you just lied to Congress,” Lieu said, going on to play a video of Rubio speaking at a Cabinet meeting in May while Trump dozes off next to him. Rubio: I have never seen Trump fall asleep. Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking. pic.twitter.com/2SE0DjkyAW— Acyn (@Acyn) June 3, 2026“You are literally talking about issues of war and peace, and Donald Trump is sleeping right next to you. If Donald Trump cannot stay awake at these important meetings where the cameras are rolling, imagine what he’s like when the cameras are not there,” Lieu said. “So I’m gonna ask you, have you been at classified meetings where Donald Trump has fallen asleep or had trouble staying awake?”Rubio doubled down, repeating that he’d never seen Trump fall asleep and that Trump wasn’t sleeping in the clip Lieu showed.“So you’re lying again? You’re lying consistently to Congress. You’re lying to Congress, Secretary Rubio,” Lieu replied. Lieu went on to show two more videos of Trump falling asleep, including one most recently at a Memorial Day event for fallen soldiers.Lieu hammered Rubio as his time concluded, saying, “Instead of holding North Korean–style Cabinet meetings where everyone goes around the room kissing Donald Trump’s ass, I’m gonna ask you to come clean with the American people and the White House, as well: There’s something wrong with Donald Trump’s health or cognitive abilities. There’s a reason he keeps going to the hospital and they keep giving him cognitive tests. We have not seen the president in eight days. The American people deserve the truth.”Lieu: Instead of holding North Korea style cabinet meetings where everyone kisses Trump’s ass, I’m going to ask you to come clean—there is something wrong with Trump. There’s a reason he keeps going to the hospital and they keep giving him cognitive tests. We have not seen him in… pic.twitter.com/xoJIL3SjjO— Acyn (@Acyn) June 3, 2026Rubio dismissed Lieu, calling his words absurd and ridiculous and making absurd claims about Trump “working inhumane hours” and taking shots at President Biden’s cognitive abilities. But the videos didn’t lie, and Rubio’s pronouncements, as confident as they sounded, looked hollow next to video evidence of Trump repeatedly dozing off. It’s quite obvious Rubio is covering for his boss.

276 arrested, 89 children rescued in massive child sex crime sweep; FBI reveals 'critical' tips for parents to keep kids safe

Nearly 100 children were rescued and almost 300 people were arrested as part of a sweeping law enforcement operation against child exploitation in Texas, according to authorities.The FBI on Friday revealed the results of Operation Soteria Shield — a "coordinated law enforcement effort focused on rescuing children from online sexual exploitation and bringing offenders to justice."'Every single day, this FBI is moving more aggressively than ever before to destroy child predator networks and save innocent victims all over the country.'"Investigators, analysts, digital forensic examiners, prosecutors, victim advocates, and child advocacy partners worked together to identify offenders and protect vulnerable children," the FBI Dallas branch stated.The joint operation included almost 200 law enforcement personnel from agencies across Texas. Key participants included the FBI's Dallas North Texas Child Exploitation Task Force, the North Texas Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, the Dallas Police Department, the Plano Police Department, the Wylie Police Department, and the Garland Police Department.Between March and April, Operation Soteria Shield aimed to expose "offenders who exploit children through online platforms, social media, messaging applications, and other digital environments."The FBI said, "Investigators pursued individuals involved in the possession, distribution, production, or promotion of child sexual abuse material, online solicitation of minors, trafficking, sexual assault, and other child exploitation-related offenses."As a result of Operation Soteria Shield, 276 people were arrested for child exploitation and 89 children were rescued."Investigators also worked to locate children who were being exploited, identify previously unknown victims, and connect children and families with appropriate services," the FBI said.The FBI noted that the cases in Operation Soteria Shield remain active, and "additional charges may be filed as forensic examinations and follow-up investigations continue."RELATED: Dad who fostered about 20 children caught with child porn while leaving cruise with pregnant wife, kids: Affidavit FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News, "Every single day, this FBI is moving more aggressively than ever before to destroy child predator networks and save innocent victims all over the country, and today’s brilliant numbers out of FBI Dallas and partners are the latest milestone in that righteous mission."FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge R. Joseph Rothrock said, "Together, we were able to make a significant impact in the ongoing battle against predators who exploit children in our communities."Dallas Police Department Chief Daniel C. Comeaux added that these are "not victimless crimes" and that they can "leave lasting trauma on children and families."Plano Police Department Chief Ed Drain said the operation has "changed lives.""Every child deserves to grow up safe, protected, and free from exploitation," Drain remarked. "This operation reflects our shared commitment to defend children wherever abuse occurs, whether that is in a home, on a device, or through an online platform."Wylie Police Department Chief Anthony Henderson proclaimed, "What is done in the dark will be brought to the light.""Through the coordinated efforts of all participating agencies, hundreds of predators have been identified and removed from our communities," Henderson continued. "This operation reflects our collective commitment to protecting children and pursuing those who seek to exploit or harm them."Garland Police Department Chief Jeff Bryan added, "Protecting our most precious resource, our children, from online exploitation requires vigilance, strong partnerships, and a relentless commitment to pursuing those who seek to harm them."Operation Soteria Shield is part of Operation Iron Pursuit — the FBI's nationwide effort to locate victims of child sex abuse and detain child sex predators.The Department of Justice said in a statement last month that "more than 200 child victims were located and over 350 child sexual abuse offenders were arrested" as a result of Operation Iron Pursuit.The DOJ highlighted the rescue of a 10-year-old in Utah with a transgender parent and partner during Operation Iron Pursuit.The child was supposed to be on a camping trip with a transgender parent, partner, and another child. The group instead flew from Canada to Mexico and then to Cuba; concerns existed that the 10-year-old child was taken to Cuba for gender reassignment surgery.

60 Minutes’ Scott Pelley Exposes CBS Chief’s Lies About His Firing

Ousted 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley disputed the words of CBS editor in chief Bari Weiss, claiming that what she told the network’s employees about his firing in an editorial call Wednesday was “not true.”In a written statement first obtained by The New York Times’ Ben Mulllin, Pelley said, “In the meeting on Tuesday in which I was effectively fired, there was no effort of any kind to ‘find a way back,’” contrary to Weiss’s account.“At no point did anyone in the Tuesday meeting suggest there could be steps taken by either side that would lead to a resolution,” Pelley wrote in his statement. “Weiss and [CBS News president] Tom Cibrowski were openly hostile from the start. ‘Firing’ was raised by Cibrowski in the first 15 seconds. No CBS executive, at any time, suggested ‘a way back.’ To say so now is disingenuous. And they know it.”Weiss reportedly said, in the editorial meeting, “Despite our attempts to engage with Scott Pelley and to find a way back, unfortunately we weren’t able to do so, and so we had to part ways. We did not want that to happen, but that’s the path that he chose.”Pelley was fired after he called out Weiss in an earlier staff meeting Monday that she didn’t attend. He criticized her changes to the network and her changes to CBS’s flagship news program, 60 Minutes, accusing her of “murdering” the program. The meeting was meant to introduce the new executive producer for the program, Nick Bilton, who was personally chosen by Weiss despite having no broadcast journalism experience.Pelley was openly hostile to Bilton, and brought up the firing of several veteran 60 Minutes staffers, including correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, correspondent Cecilia Vega, executive producer Tanya Simon, and executive editor Draggan Mihailovich.“You come into our house and expect to be welcome?” Pelley asked Bilton while openly questioning his credentials. “Why was Tanya Simon fired? Why was Sharyn fired? Why was Cecilia fired? Why Draggan? Do you know the names of the people that were fired?”Pelley was fired the next day, and then accused Weiss and CBS’s management of enforcing political bias. Weiss’s attempts to save face by saying Pelley rejected overtures to return don’t hold up next to the words of Pelley and the other veteran journalists she has forced out of CBS.

Rubio confronted in live hearing with video proving he 'lied to Congress'

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calf.) hammered Secretary of State Marco Rubio as he appeared in a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Tuesday over questions about President Donald Trump's fitness for office. Rubio's reactions led Lieu to claim he was lying under oath. Lieu showed the footage of the December Cabinet meeting in which Trump appeared to doze off next to Rubio. "Oh my God," Rubio could be heard saying.Lieu asked whether Rubio had "been at more than one meeting where President Trump was asleep.""That's false," Rubio said. "That's false. I've never seen him fall asleep. On the contrary, the guy doesn't sleep, which is a big problem because he calls me at two in the morning. He calls me at five in the morning. And, you know, I like to sleep a little bit. You know, not 12 hours, but at least six."Trump's insomnia was addressed by CNN medical expert Dr. Jonathan Reiner. Reiner said that chronic insomnia can be “a severe illness," in large part because it can add "about 3-1/2 years to one’s age and [contribute] to a decline in mental functions.""Secretary Rubio, I'm going to show you in a moment that you just lied to Congress," Lieu cut in."Oh, ok," Rubio said. "This is a Cabinet meeting from last month where Donald Trump is sleeping while you are talking. Please show this video," Lieu said. "You are literally talking about issues of war and peace, and Donald Trump is sleeping right next to you."Rubio denied it again. Trump's disappearance from public view is raising questions, as he hasn't held any events or press conferences in about a week. Trump did speak to the New York Post on Tuesday in a interview that revealed a new medical malady."If Donald Trump cannot stay awake at these important meetings where the cameras are rolling, can you imagine what he is like when the cameras are not there? Have you been at classified meanings were Donald Trump has fallen asleep?" the congressman asked. Rubio replied again that he'd never been in any meeting in which Trump fell asleep. "So, you are lying again? Lying consistently to Congress," Lieu responded.He went on to say that Trump's drowsiness "caused other countries to perceive him differently." He claimed that Trump is mocked as "weak and feeble."Lieu then showed a clip from the French News in which Trump appears to fall asleep at a Memorial Day ceremony last month. His eyes appeared to be closed for a large portion of the ceremony. "There's something wrong with his cognitive acts, and the fact that on a number of occasions Donald Trump will contradict himself and literally — in literally the same meeting or interview," Lieu continued. He showed another clip in which Trump "says the Iranian military is both destroyed and not destroyed at the same time."Lieu closed by praising Rubio, saying that he's done a lot to travel around the world and trying to clean up the "mess that was left to you."

'This conversation is over!' Fired Scott Pelley calls out Bari Weiss for new wave of lies

Fired “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley unloaded on CBS News head Bari Weiss in a statement on Wednesday morning after it was reported she told staffers the network tried to mend fences with the distinguished correspondent.According to the New York Times, the controversial Weiss met with Pelley to go over his criticism of her tenure and for pointing out that newly anointed “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton was over his head and unqualified to oversee the legendary newsmagazine. He was later fired by email.Wednesday morning Weiss told staffers, “Despite our attempts to engage with Scott Pelley and to find a way back, unfortunately we weren’t able to do so, and so we had to part ways. We did not want that to happen, but that’s the path that he chose.”In a statement released hours later, Pelley fired back and called the CBS News head a liar while pointing out that mention of his firing led off the meeting with Weiss, Bilton and CBS News President Tom Cibrowski, who flew into a rage and showed Pelley the door.“Bari Weiss knows what she said is not true,” Pelley reported. “In the meeting on Tuesday, in which I was effectively fired, there was no effort of any kind to ‘find a way back,’ as Weiss said in the editorial meeting. At no point did anyone in the Tuesday meeting suggest that there could be steps taken by either side that would lead to a resolution. Weiss and Tom Cibrowski were openly hostile from the start. ‘Firing’ was raised by Cibrowski in the first 15 seconds. No CBS executive, at any time, suggested ‘a way back.’ To say so now is disingenuous. And they know it.”He added that he asked Weiss multiple questions about the firings she initiated that have gutted “60 Minutes,” only to have her repeat over and over again, ”I’m not answering that question.” Stating the CBS executives were “abrupt and dismissive,” he stated Cibrowsk blew up and announced, “This conversation is over!” twice, “raising his voice and standing to show me the door.”In a statement to @benmullin.bsky.social, Scott Pelley disputes what Bari Weiss said in this morning's editorial meeting, claiming he was never offered "a way back" as she claimed."These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is antithetical to everything we stand for..."[image or embed]— Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona.bsky.social) June 3, 2026 at 8:20 AM
