HuffPost: Trump Wants DOJ To Look Into His Go-To Gripe With ‘Gusto’

Though thoroughly debunked, the president wasn’t done squawking about what he called the “biggest SCANDAL in American history.”

President Donald Trump urged the Justice Department to look into election fraud with “gusto” as he rehashed his favorite grievance from the 2020 presidential race in a Sunday post on Truth Social.

Using the feds’ investigation into an illegal gambling ring with ties to pro basketball as his jumping off point, the president said, “What’s worse, the NBA Players cheating at cards, and probably much else, or the Democrats cheating on Elections.”

Daily Beasty: Trump Hijacks NBA Scandal to Dunk on Favorite Adversary

The president couldn’t resist seizing the moment.

President Donald Trump is trying to make the basketball gambling bust that rocked the sports world about himself.

But when Trump, 79, weighed in, he put his own twist—and pettiness—on the subject.

“What’s worse, the NBA Players cheating at cards, and probably much else, or the Democrats cheating on Elections,” he began in a post on Truth Social.

“The 2020 Presidential Election, being Rigged and Stolen, is a far bigger SCANDAL. Look what happened to our Country when a Crooked Moron became our ‘President!’ We now know everything. I hope the DOJ pursues this with as much ‘gusto’ as befitting the biggest SCANDAL in American history!”

Bradenton Herald: Trump’s Antifa Terror Order Faces Backlash

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee, said, “Designating Antifa, which has no defined organizational structure or leadership, as a domestic terrorism organization is not only incorrect, it serves no purpose other than an excuse for the Trump administration to stifle dissent, investigate anyone, or any group, they don’t like, punish their enemies, and potentially label any American they want as a terrorist.”

Newsweek: Donald Trump suffers another blow in National Guard deployment

The Trump administration suffered a legal blow on Friday afternoon when the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stayed an order issued on October 20 by a federal appellate court ruling it could deploy 200 National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, under federal control.\…

On October 20, a three-judge appeals court ruled that Trump could federalize 200 National Guard troops for deployment to Portland, with two Trump-appointed judges in favor, while one Bill Clinton appointee was opposed.

However, on Friday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay preventing this from coming into effect until 5 p.m. on October 28 at the earliest, while the court decides whether to reconsider the case. The matter could now appear before a so-called en banc review, made up of 11 judges.

Daily Beast: Trump Goon Schooled Over Oval Office Screwup

Harmeet Dhillon made an embarrassing mistake while sharing a photo of herself in the Oval Office.

A top Donald Trump loyalist at the Department of Justice has been mocked online for sharing a photo confusing the Declaration of Independence with the Constitution.

Harmeet Dhillon, a 2020 election denier who Trump picked as assistant attorney general for civil rights, posted a photo on X on Thursday showing her holding hands with the president in the Oval Office.

“I love the Constitution AND my favorite President!” Dhillon wrote. However, as many social media users pointed out, Dhillon was actually standing in front of the Declaration of Independence, not the historic document that outlines how the federal government operates and guarantees the rights and freedoms of U.S. citizens.

Guardian: Top US prosecutor’s use of text message auto-delete could be illegal, watchdog groups warn

Lindsey Halligan, who brought cases against James Comey and Letitia James, allegedly violated records-retention laws

A top federal prosecutor’s use of an encrypted messaging application with messages set to be automatically deleted after eight hours was potentially illegal, two watchdog groups said.

Lindsey Halligan, the interim US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia, used Signal earlier this month to communicate with Anna Bower, a journalist for Lawfare, about the criminal case she is pursuing against the New York attorney general, Letitia James. Bower published the full conversation on Monday evening and said Halligan had set messages to auto-delete after eight hours.

Independent: Trump’s ‘election integrity’ chief claimed president has future powers to declare voting emergency

Heather Honey’s statements follow president’s aggressive effort to radically reshape elections before 2026

Trump says FBI and Tulsi Gabbard ‘working on’ elections plan as he repeats bogus claims

It was clear from the outset that Donald Trump’s administration would include high-ranking government officials who either endorsed his false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, or refused to publicly admit he lost.

The president continues to hammer a baseless narrative that the election was rigged against him, vowing publicly that it must never “happen again” as he deploys officials to prepare for midterm elections with the balance of power in Congress — and his agenda — at stake.

Before she was tapped as Trump’s “election integrity” official at the Department of Homeland Security, Heather Honey reportedly told a group of right-wing activists in March that the president could declare a “national emergency” to effectively take control of local election administration.

She said the move would follow an “actual investigation” of the 2020 election, if it revealed “manipulation” of the results, according to The New York Times, which had a recording of the call.

“We have some additional powers that don’t exist right now,” she said. “[W]e can take these other steps without Congress and we can mandate that states do things and so on.”
