Former president Donald Trump said President Joe Biden will be “all jacked up” for the first presidential debate after the president reportedly retreated to Camp David to prepare last week.
Trump mocked Biden at a rally in Philadelphia on Saturday ahead of the first presidential debate set for June 27. The former president and the presumed GOP presidential candidate said Biden’s reported <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-heads-camp-david-prepare-1st-presidential-debate/story?id=111215648" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stint</a> at Camp David is to give Biden enough time to sleep ahead of Thursday’s debate.
“As you know, it’s been reported that Crooked Joe has gone to a log cabin to ‘study, prepare,’ Trump told the crowd. “No, he didn’t do, he’s sleeping now because they want to get him good and strong.”
“A little before debate time, he gets a shot in the a**,” Trump continued. “They want to strengthen him up so he comes out, he’ll come out – okay, I say he’ll come out all jacked up, right? All jacked up.”

During his Philadelphia trip, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-hes-decided-on-a-running-mate-expects-this-person-to-attend-debate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">divulged</a> that he has decided on a vice presidential pick. While he did not name the person, he said his pick will “most likely” be at the debate.
“They’ll be there,” he then added. “I think we have a lot of people coming.”
By late last week, Trump had reportedly <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-doug-burgum-jd-vance-marco-rubio-vp-search-rcna157069" target="_blank" rel="noopener">narrowed</a> his focus to two potential vice presidential picks: North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is also in contention, though doubts about his enthusiasm and the legal hurdles of a president and vice president of the same state have dampened his chances.
The Biden campaign is preparing for the debate as the president reportedly preps at Camp David, the longtime presidential retreat. While Biden is out of the public eye, the campaign plans to put on hundreds of events touting the president and drawing a contrast to Trump.
“Now, with the debate just days away, Team Biden-Harris is putting a magnifying glass on the choice this week as Democrats in Atlanta and across the country organize around this moment,” Biden-Harris campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a memo, according to <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4735795-biden-campaign-debate-prep/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill</a>.
Thursday will be the first time for either Biden or Trump to appear on a debate stage since the 2020 contest.

Trump Predicts Biden Will Enter Debate ‘All Jacked Up’ After ‘He Gets A Shot In The A**’

The Biden administration ignored tens of thousands of concerning reports involving unaccompanied migrant children, according to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA).
Grassley looked into Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) records at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and found over 65,000 ignored or dismissed reports concerning migrant children. Nearly 7,000 of those reports were cases of suspected human trafficking and nearly 2,000 others were related to fraud.
Since President Donald Trump assumed office on January 20, HHS has worked through over a quarter of those cases left over from the Biden administration and made dozens of arrests, according to Grassley.
“My oversight exposed the Biden-Harris administration for placing unaccompanied migrant children with dangerous sponsors and actively obstructing law enforcement and Congress’ efforts to rescue vulnerable kids. I applaud the Trump administration for its swift action to protect unaccompanied migrant children by addressing the concerning reports the Biden-Harris administration shelved,” said Grassley in a <a href="https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassley-exposes-biden-harris-backlog-of-criminal-complaints-in-migrant-children-program">statement</a>. “I look forward to working with Secretary Kennedy to ensure justice is served.”
Back in April, HHS confirmed that tens of thousands of cases had been ignored and that it was working to clear the “backlog” left by the previous administration.

“ORR is digging through nearly 65,000 reports of concern about unaccompanied alien children — most ignored, many dismissed — each one a missed chance to protect a child. This isn’t just paperwork. This is a systemic failure of the Biden administration. It is children&#8217;s lives put at risk,” HHS said in a statement posted to social media.

At least 500,000 children entered the United States during former President Joe Biden’s tenure. Those children were often flown in or bused to the homes of strangers after the Biden administration relaxed rules on background checks for sponsors of the children.
At least 85,000 of those children who crossed as unaccompanied minors were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/whistleblowers-detail-how-85000-unaccompanied-minors-went-missing-after-biden-admin-dropped-them-off-with-sponsors">lost</a> by the administration. HHS officials under the Biden administration failed to locate the children again after leaving them with sponsors.
Grassley wrote a letter to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. ripping the previous administration for stonewalling the senator’s demands for information on unaccompanied alien minors (UAC).
“The purpose of my inquiry is clear: to determine the scope and severity of child trafficking and exploitation through the UAC program nationwide. After I made this urgent inquiry, HHS under Secretary Becerra obstructed my investigation and instructed contractors and grantees not to answer, and to instead send my inquiry to the Assistant Secretary for Legislation, who of course also failed to provide any requested information,” Grassley wrote in a Tuesday <a href="https://www.grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/grassley_to_hhs_-_backlog_of_unaccompanied_migrant_children_reports.pdf">letter</a>.

Chuck Grassley: Biden Admin Ignored 65,000 Troubling Reports About Unaccompanied Alien Children

President Donald Trump is reportedly holding out on a $15 million settlement offer from Paramount Global, demanding more money and an apology.
Paramount and Trump have been locked in negotiations for a month over a lawsuit the president filed last year against CBS News, which is overseen by Paramount. The media company has offered $15 million to settle the case, but Trump’s team rejected the offer, wanting at least $25 million and an apology for interfering in the 2020 election, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/paramount-has-offered-15-million-to-settle-cbs-lawsuit-trump-wants-more-861d857e">The Wall Street Journal</a>.
Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-sues-cbs-news-for-10-billion-over-kamala-60-minutes-interview-edits">sued</a> CBS News in November over an interview the network conducted with former Vice President Kamala Harris during an episode of “60 Minutes.” The lawsuit accused the news company of deceptively editing the interview to make Harris appear much sharper than she actually performed. The network has said the interview was “not doctored or deceitful.”
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
The court-wrangling with the president comes as Paramount Global tries to navigate a planned merger with Skydance Media. The high-profile battle with Trump has complicated company dynamics amid the merger.
Earlier this month, CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cbs-news-president-quits-amid-60-minutes-legal-battle-with-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that she was leaving the network after breaking with executives over how to handle the Trump lawsuit. McMahon left in part because of her unwillingness to make an apology as part of a potential settlement.
“It’s become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward,” McMahon wrote in a memo to staff. “It’s time for me to move on and for this organization to move forward with new leadership.”
Shari Redstone, Paramount Global’s controlling shareholder and chair, has stepped back from the Trump lawsuit as she navigates the $8 billion merger with Skydance, which must undergo a federal review by the Trump administration.
Paramount Global is the latest major company attempting to settle a lawsuit from Trump. Meta agreed to pay $25 million to settle a lawsuit over Trump’s social media accounts being banned following January 6, 2021. $22 million of the settlement is directed toward the Trump presidential library while the rest of the money covered legal expenses.
The social media platform X agreed to a similar settlement worth $10 million the following month.

Trump Rejects $15M Settlement Offer From Paramount Over ‘Deceitful’ Kamala Interview

A federal appeals court reinstated President Donald Trump’s sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs on Thursday.
The appeals court granted the Trump administration’s request for a temporary stay of a lower court’s order freezing tariff increases across dozens of countries. The Thursday decision puts back in place a key component of the president’s economic agenda.
“The request for an immediate administrative stay is granted to the extent that the judgments and the permanent injunctions entered by the Court of International Trade in these cases are temporarily stayed until further notice while this court considers the motions papers,” the appeals court said in its <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cafc.23105/gov.uscourts.cafc.23105.7.0_1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion</a>.
On Wednesday, the New York-based Court of International Trade ruled that the president had overstepped his authority in issuing the sweeping new tariff regime, abusing emergency powers and stepping on Congress’ constitutional authority to regulate commerce with foreign countries. The court consolidated two separate cases brought by businesses and state attorneys general in its ruling.
The appeals court gave the plaintiffs until June 5 to respond to its temporary stay of Trump’s tariffs.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
The trade court’s earlier ruling effectively dissolved the tariffs put in place under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a 1977 law that had never been used to implement tariffs until Trump.
“The question in the two cases before the court is whether the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (‘IEEPA’) delegates these powers to the President in the form of authority to impose unlimited tariffs on goods from nearly every country in the world,” a three-judge panel wrote. “The court does not read IEEPA to confer such unbounded authority and sets aside the challenged tariffs imposed thereunder.”
“Because of the Constitution’s express allocation of the tariff power to Congress … we do not read IEEPA to delegate an unbounded tariff authority to the President. We instead read IEEPA’s provisions to impose meaningful limits on any such authority it confers,” the panel said. “The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariffs lack any identifiable limits.”
In invoking the act, the White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-declares-national-emergency-to-increase-our-competitive-edge-protect-our-sovereignty-and-strengthen-our-national-and-economic-security/">said</a> that “large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits” had wrecked U.S. manufacturing, undermined supply chains, and threatened national security. The court dismissed the Trump administration’s justification.

Appeals Court Puts Trump’s Sweeping ‘Liberation Day’ Tariffs Back In Place

Jill Biden should testify to what she knew about her husband’s mental and physical health and when she knew it, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
Leavitt ripped into the former first lady during a press briefing on Thursday after she fielded a question about Congressional Republicans considering subpoenas for former President Joe Biden’s inner circle. The White House press secretary said Jill Biden should “certainly” speak openly about her husband’s infirmities.
“I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband and when she saw it and what she knew,” said Leavitt, adding, “because I think anybody looking again at the videos and photo evidence of Joe Biden with your own eyes and a little bit of common sense can see this was a clear cover-up. Jill Biden was certainly complicit in that cover-up.”
“There&#8217;s documentation, video evidence of her clearly shielding her husband away from the cameras. They were just on ‘The View’ last week. She was saying everything is fine,” Leavitt continued. “She&#8217;s still lying to the American people. She still thinks the American public are so stupid that they&#8217;re going to believe her lies, and, frankly, it&#8217;s insulting and she needs to answer for it.”

“Obviously, we believe that some of the names, like the chief of staff and perhaps the first lady, were involved in a lot of the decision-making. If that’s where the trail leads, then we’ll bring them in as well,” he added.
Biden’s diagnosis of prostate cancer earlier this month has added to the debate around his health and whether he was fit to sit as President of the United States. It has also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-a-top-cancer-doctor-says-bidens-diagnosis-story-doesnt-add-up">added</a> to the questions around who knew what about the former president’s health, and how widespread the cover-up was to keep the severity of Biden’s frail state hidden from the American people.
A new House resolution would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-proposal-panel-biden-health-cover-up">create</a> a committee to probe the questions and cover-up around the former president’s health.

Karoline Leavitt: Jill Biden ‘Needs To Answer’ For Husband’s Health Cover-Up

British prosecutors on Wednesday announced they will charge Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate for rape, human trafficking, and other crimes.
The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed ten charges against Andrew Tate, 38, related to three women. His younger brother, 36-year-old Tristan, faces eleven charges related to one woman, according to <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/andrew-tate-tristan-tate-uk-rape-human-trafficking-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Politico Europe</a>.
The charges were approved last year after evidence was obtained from the Bedfordshire Police.
“We can confirm that we have authorised charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate for offences including rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm against three women,” the service said in a statement.
“These charging decisions followed receipt of a file of evidence from Bedfordshire Police. A European Arrest Warrant was issued in England in 2024, and as a result the Romanian courts ordered the extradition to the UK of Andrew and Tristan Tate,” it continued. “However, the domestic criminal matters in Romania must be settled first.”
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendants have the right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that there be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings,” the statement concludes.
Wednesday’s announcement is the latest in a series of accusations against the Tates from the sordid to the criminal. The two brothers were first arrested in December 2022 by Romanian authorities. Initial charges in Romania were of rape and human trafficking, but they have since been expanded to include sex with a minor and trafficking underage persons.
The Tates have said they are innocent of all charges and portrayed themselves as the targets of a high-powered conspiracy meant to silence them.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
The Tates are also under investigation in Florida. Attorney General James Uthmeier <a href="https://x.com/GabeGroisman/status/1927794394557555065" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on a recent episode of the podcast “Standpoint with Gabe Groisman” that he is probing potential criminal activity by the Tates that may have taken place within his jurisdiction.
“To me, when they&#8217;re making statements that sound an awful lot like criminal activity, I think as attorney general, I&#8217;ve got a duty to investigate and make sure that we&#8217;re not subjecting, you know, women in our state to dangers,” said Uthmeier. “If there’s a crime that occurred here in our jurisdiction, we&#8217;ve got a prerogative to prosecute it, and we will do so.”
In March, Andrew Tate’s ex-girlfriend, Brianna Stern, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ex-girlfriend-accuses-andrew-tate-of-abuse-violence-in-lawsuit-if-you-ever-betray-me?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Ex-Girlfriend+Accuses+Andrew+Tate+Of+Abuse%2C+Violence+In+Lawsuit%3A+%E2%80%98If+You+Ever+Betray+Me%E2%80%99" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed</a> a lawsuit in California alleging that the elder Tate beat and abused her during their relationship. She also provided text messages that suggest Tate warned Stern against speaking out against him.
“The last time I saw Andrew was on March 11, 2025 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The last words he said to me before I left the hotel were: ‘Shut the f*** up, b****. You will never backtalk me. You are my property,’” Stern wrote in a statement.
Tate’s attorney dismissed the lawsuit: “This is a blatant cash grab — a desperate attempt by a sad individual to exploit Andrew’s success and reputation for personal gain.”

Tate Brothers Face Rape And Human Trafficking Charges In United Kingdom

FBI director Kash Patel ripped his predecessor, James Comey, on Wednesday evening after Comey questioned Patel’s fitness to hold the post.
Patel appeared on Fox News&#8217; “Special Report” hosted by Bret Baier to respond to comments Comey had made earlier during an appearance on CNN. Patel said that Comey’s flippant use of social media had inspired a wave of potential threats against President Donald Trump’s life.
Earlier this month, Comey had posted, then deleted a picture off his Instagram page of seashells on a beach arranged to say, “86 47.” The former FBI director was immediately blasted for posting the message, widely understood to be a threat to Trump. “86” is commonly understood to mean “get rid of” and “47” is a reference to Trump as the 47th President of the United States.
“Do you know how many copycats we’ve had to investigate as a result of that beachside venture from the former director?” Patel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disgraced-former-fbi-chief-deletes-86-47-post-that-got-kash-patels-attention?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Disgraced+Former+FBI+Chief+Deletes+%E2%80%9886+47%E2%80%B2+Post+That+Got+Kash+Patel%E2%80%99s+Attention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Baier.
“Do you know how many agents I’ve had to take offline from chasing down child sex predators, fentanyl traffickers, terrorists because everywhere across this country, people are popping up on social media and think that a threat to the life of the President of the United States is a joke and they can do it because he did it?” Patel continued.

“That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m having to deal with every single day, and that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m having to pull my agents and analysts off because he thought it was funny to go out there and make a political statement,” he added.

Comey had previously attacked Patel on CNN, questioning his fitness to head the intelligence agency. Comey himself was fired as FBI director during Trump’s first term.
“Obviously, you start with the fact that the guy has literally nothing in his entire adult life that prepares him for this role. And so, that&#8217;s deeply concerning to start with,” Comey <a href="https://x.com/TheOfficerTatum/status/1927797687849525626" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
“That is a daunting task for him. I hope he lets the career people do their jobs, but they&#8217;ve already forced out a bunch of good career people and sent a chill through the organization,” he added.

He said that he thought it meant to “get out of a place.”
“My wife and I were walking on the beach, and saw those numbers in shells on the beach,” he said, “Somebody else did it!”
