House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said on Monday that the California mayoral race result “stinks to high heaven” as the state’s vote-counting process drags on nearly a week after the primary.

President Donald Trump just received a public assist from House Speaker Mike Johnson in his unsubstantiated claims that California’s elections have been stolen — but Johnson himself admitted that Trump’s claims are “impossible to prove.”“I'm not saying it's rigged,” Johnson told CNN’s Manu Raju on Monday. “I'm saying it stinks to high heaven. And everybody knows that. Let's remove the appearance of impropriety. Let's have, what a concept, let's have votes on an election the day of the election. That's what many states are able to do. I think California is playing around with this.”When Raju asked whether Johnson has any evidence that the election is being rigged, the House Speaker admitted that he does not.“I don't — some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream that it is impossible to prove,” Johnson told Raju. “But I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here. And that's a concern. We need people to believe in the integrity of our election system.”Johnson has been accused of controlling the House Republicans rather than serving the traditional presidential role of respecting the balance of power between the executive and legislature. In fact, NOTUS reported on Monday that Trump has so much power over the House, he has joked that he and not Johnson is in fact the real House Speaker.“I have two jobs: being president and being speaker,” Trump once teased Johnson while other lawmakers watched him do it. Trump’s joke refers to Johnson repeatedly going to the president to get potentially defecting Republicans in line behind his agenda, with Johnson himself repeatedly failing to do so.For example, in 2025 Trump reportedly yelled at Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) over the phone until she started crying and walked away, according to what two sources told NOTUS. After she left, Trump continued to rant to the remaining lawmakers who were present for her humiliation.“I have no f—— idea what she just said," Trump told the other members.That incident, according to NOTUS, was merely one of many. Two sources told NOTUS that House members are instructed to check with the White House before proposing legislation. One anonymous House Republican lawmaker told NOTUS that as a result, House Speaker Johnson and the rest of that body’s leaders have failed in their basic legislative duties.This is "a total shirking of responsibilities to the White House,” the source told NOTUS. “Everything has to be preordained and pre-blessed, and there’s very little that we’re able to have our own will on. We should be empowered to pass our own priorities, not just follow what the mandate of the day is.”

Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt remains optimistic about his chances in the Los Angeles mayoral race despite losing his 40,000-vote lead and second-place position to far-left L.A. City Councilwoman Nithya Raman.Critics of California’s delayed vote-counting are raising concerns that the primary election may have been stolen from Pratt, as the process has already dragged on for nearly a week.'Raman has conveniently received a WILDLY disproportionate amount of "late mail-in ballots" compared to both Bass and Pratt.'Pratt’s nearly 10-point advantage over Raman on Election Day slowly shrank in the days following, with Raman eventually taking the lead. As of Monday, Raman is up 3,000 votes, according to the Associated Press.“Folks, we’re dealing with a fraction of a percentage point difference, there’s still hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding, and LA officials have given us the next 3 weeks to count! Let’s git-r-dun!” Pratt wrote in a post on social media on Monday.President Donald Trump chimed in on the latest ballot results, calling it “not possible” for Pratt to have lost to Raman “after the big lead he had.”“3rd World Nation. Rigged Elections!” Trump wrote. “Won’t have results for, possibly, TWO WEEKS, according to officials.”RELATED: Spencer Pratt’s 40,000-vote lead vanishes in Los Angeles mayor race as California continues counting ballots Nithya Raman.

A federal judge on Monday threatened to sanction President Donald Trump's personal attorneys after they missed a court deadline in his sprawling $10 billion libel lawsuit against the BBC — and tried to cover their tracks with a pair of last-minute procedural filings.U.S. District Judge Roy Altman, a Trump appointee, ordered the president's legal team to explain by June 10 why he shouldn't penalize them for what he called their "apparent disregard of court deadlines." Trump's lawyers had been due to respond to the BBC's motion to dismiss the case by June 5. Instead of filing that response, they submitted two eleventh-hour motions — one seeking leave to file excess pages, another seeking to file under seal — neither of which asked the court to extend the deadline. Altman also asked whether the BBC's motion to dismiss should be considered unopposed.The lawsuit, filed in December in the Southern District of Florida, accuses the BBC of defaming Trump by splicing together two portions of his Jan. 6, 2021, speech — made nearly 55 minutes apart — to make it appear he had urged supporters to march on the Capitol and "fight like hell." The BBC has apologized for the edit but is fighting the suit, arguing the Florida court lacks jurisdiction over a documentary that never aired in the United States.Legal experts have been skeptical of the case from the start. Bob Corn-Revere, chief counsel at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, told CNN the suit "does not have any legal basis, either on defamation or jurisdictional grounds," calling it "the president's latest effort to intimidate media companies." University of Utah law professor RonNell Andersen Jones told CNN the $10 billion demand is "a ridiculously hard number to sustain without a strong showing that there was an actual viewing audience."The BBC's motion to dismiss has been pending since March.
