President Donald Trump fired back at CNN's Kaitlan Collins after she asked an absurd question at a White House press conference politicizing the tragic mid-air collision over the Potomac River on Wednesday night.

The crash involved an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter, resulting in no survivors among the 67 individuals on both aircraft.During the briefing, Trump, visibly affected by the incident, called it "a tragedy of terrible proportions" and led the room in a moment of silence for the victims.

However, the atmosphere shifted when Collins pressed for details on the investigation, questioning whether Trump was "getting ahead" of the official inquiry by suggesting the crash could have been prevented due to what he described as a "confluence of bad decisions" during previous administrations' handling of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies at the FAA.

Trump responded sharply, dismissing Collins' line of questioning with, "No, I don't think so at all ... I don't think that's a smart question. I'm surprised, coming from you." His retort suggested frustration, not only with the question but with the perceived political angle of the inquiry.

Kash Patel NUKES Democrats who claim he is anti-law enforcement with mic-drop answer!

Trump FBI Director pick Kash Patel faced scrutiny during his Senate confirmation hearing over criticisms from Democrats that he holds anti-law enforcement positions. 

When confronted by Senator Chuck Grassley about these criticisms, Patel provided a robust defense highlighting his extensive law enforcement background. He pointed out his 16 years of service, which included roles as a national security prosecutor and a civilian with Joint Special Operations Command, embedding with elite units like SEAL Team Six and Delta Force in anti-terrorism operations.

Patel emphasized his respect for law enforcement, stating, "I have always respected law enforcement. I have taken that oath, and will again." This was in direct response to the claims made by his critics regarding his stance on law enforcement.

Addressing the January 6 Capitol riot, Patel clarified his position by reiterating his public and private stance against violence towards law enforcement, saying, "there can never be a tolerance for violence against law enforcement. Anyone who does that must be investigated, prosecuted and imprisoned."

Patel also mentioned his actions during the January 6 event, noting his service with the Capitol Police and his role in rushing aid to the committee by providing the National Guard, emphasizing his commitment was to protect the nation, not engage in politics.

Anti-Trump FBI agent “directly implicated” Trump without evidence in 2020

A whistleblower has disclosed that an FBI agent with a known anti-Trump bias played a pivotal role in launching an investigation into former President Donald Trump, despite lacking the authority to do so, according to an exclusive report by Fox News.

The agent in question, identified as Tim Thibault, allegedly broke FBI protocol by advancing the bureau's initial probe into the 2020 election, directly implicating Trump without what whistleblowers claim was “sufficient predication.” This revelation came to light through documents shared with Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, who has been vocal about what he perceives as the "partisan politicization" of federal agencies.

Emails reviewed by Fox News show Thibault discussing draft language for opening the investigation, which later evolved into Special Counsel Jack Smith's case against Trump concerning the elector scheme. One email from Thibault to a subordinate agent on Feb. 14, 2022, included the language that would eventually be used in the official investigation documents.

Grassley highlighted the issue during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, demanding transparency from the FBI and DOJ regarding their actions. He emphasized that the whistleblower documents reveal a troubling pattern of active public partisanship by Thibault, which could have influenced the direction and focus of the investigation into Trump.

The FBI has yet to respond to these allegations. However, this disclosure adds to ongoing debates about the impartiality of federal law enforcement actions, especially in high-profile political cases. Critics argue that such actions could undermine public trust in these institutions.

There’s a “Gift Room” in the Chicago Mayor’s office and anti-corruption cops can’t get in!

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has come under scrutiny after city cops were reportedly blocked from entering a room filled with luxury gifts at City Hall, according to a bombshell report by the New York Post.

The so-called "gift room" holds an array of high-end items, including designer bags, Hugo Boss cufflinks, and a personalized Mont Blanc pen, all allegedly accepted by Mayor Johnson. The controversy erupted when officials from the Office of Inspector General (OIG) attempted to inspect the room but were met with resistance from Chicago police who instructed them to wait in the elevator lobby, the report states.

This incident has sparked concerns over transparency and potential corruption within the mayor's office. The gifts, which were not disclosed publicly, include items like Airpods and various pieces of jewelry, raising questions about the ethics of accepting such lavish presents, especially in light of Chicago's ongoing struggles with public trust and governance.

Mayor Johnson has not yet commented on the specifics of the report but has previously defended his administration's transparency, asserting that all gifts are logged and available for public scrutiny. However, the OIG's experience suggests otherwise, highlighting a possible disconnect between policy and practice.

The city's ethics laws require that gifts over a certain value be reported, but this incident suggests that those regulations might not be strictly followed. This situation has reignited debates about the influence of gifts on political decision-making and the integrity of public officials.

The investigation into the "gift room" is part of a broader look into the operations of City Hall, with many awaiting further details on how this will affect perceptions of Mayor Johnson's administration.
