President Donald Trump met with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey at the White House on Thursday and later signed several executive orders, including one on TikTok.
He also weighed in on the shooting at a Dallas ICE facility, blaming “radical left rhetoric” without evidence.
In a post to X early on Saturday, Attorney General Pam Bondi said she was “deploying DOJ agents to ICE facilities — and wherever ICE comes under siege — to safeguard federal agents, protect federal property and immediately arrest all individuals engaged in any federal crime.”
Bondi’s post came as protesters clashed with federal agents outside the Chicago ICE processing center on Friday night.
Bondi cited what she called an “onslaught of violence perpetrated against ICE officers across our country,” for the decision.
Bondi added that, “pursuant to President Trump’s recent executive action,” she would instruct the Joint Terrorism Task Forces to “to disrupt and investigate all entities and individuals engaged in acts of domestic terrorism, including the repeated acts of violence and obstruction against federal agents.”
The DOJ, she said, “will seek the most serious available charges against all participants in these criminal mobs, including conspiracy offenses, assault offenses, civil disorder offenses and terrorism offenses.”
“While these never-ending attacks are designed to break our will, they only strengthen our resolve to complete the work begun,” Bondi wrote. “The rule of law will prevail.”
Trump ordered on Friday the declassification and release of all government records related to Amelia Earhart, including her “final trip, and everything else about her.”
On social media, Trump lauded Earhart as an aviation pioneer who was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean solo and calling her story “interesting.”
Trump raised questions surrounding her 1937 unsolved disappearance in the Pacific Ocean, while she and another navigator were attempting to circumnavigate the globe.
“Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions. I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her,” Trump said.
President Donald Trump was adamant that former FBI Director James Comey’s indictment had nothing to do with revenge, telling ABC News Senior Political Correspondent Rachel Scott that “this is about justice.”
“Mr. President you said on the campaign trail that sometimes revenge could be justified. Is that what this is? Is this political retribution?” Scott asked Trump.
“This is about justice,” Trump responded, claiming Comey “lied” in testimony before Congress.
President Donald Trump on Friday weighed in on the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey and predicted there would be more people who face charges.
“It’s not a list, but I think there will be others,” Trump said. “I mean, they’re corrupt. These were corrupt, radical left Democrats.”
“Frankly, I hope there are because you can’t let this happen to a country,” he later said.
President Donald Trump, leaving the White House on Friday to attend the Ryder Cup in New York, spoke to reporters and said he believed there may be a deal on Gaza.
“It’s looking like we have a deal on Gaza, and we’ll let you know,” Trump said. “I think it’s a deal that will get he hostages back. It’s going to be a deal that will end the war. It’s going to be a deal — it’s going to be peace. I think we have a deal.”
Trump didn’t elaborate on what the plan would entail. His comments come after recent reports of a Gaza plan that would see former United Kingdom Prime Minister Tony Blair head a temporary administration of the Gaza Strip.
President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on a range of goods — including on some bathroom and kitchen furnishings, pharmaceuticals and large trucks — in a series of social media posts on Thursday.
Trump said he will impose a 50% tariff on all cabinets, bathroom vanities and other associated products starting on Oct. 1.
“The reason for this is the large scale ‘FLOODING’ of these products into the United States by other outside Countries,” Trump said in the post. “It is a very unfair practice, but we must protect, for National Security and other reasons, our Manufacturing process.”
