\n

Two police officers who helped defend the U.S. Capitol from an attack by a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters sued Wednesday to block anyone \u2014 including Jan. 6, 2021, rioters \u2014 from receiving payouts from a new nearly $1.8 billion settlement fund for people who claim to be victims of politically motivated prosecutions. The lawsuit\u2019s filing comes a day after Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, during his congressional testimony, wouldn\u2019t rule out the possibility of fund payouts for rioters who assaulted police on Jan. 6.<\/p>\n

Also, Trumpscored another win Tuesday against a Republican rival, dislodging Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky\u2019s primary and knocking out one of his most outspoken critics on Capitol Hill. Massie has been a particularly difficult thorn in Trump\u2019s side, pushing for the release of the Epstein files, opposing the war with Iran and voting against Trump\u2019s signature tax legislation last year.<\/p>\n

Here’s the latest:<\/p>\n

Trump gives the Coast Guard commencement address in relentless heat<\/p>\n

The president called graduates of the Coast Guard Academy \u201cthe living standard bearers of America\u2019s first fleet\u201d and suggested danger is \u201ca statement you live by.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump said graduating together would build lifelong camaraderie , saying \u201cYou\u2019re always going to be friends with each other. Hopefully with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

As he spoke, many in the crowd faced scorching heat with little shade available against the 85-deegre heat and a UV index of 9.<\/p>\n

At least one person required medical attention after passing out. Others pleaded with organizers that elderly attendants be allowed to sit under tents.<\/p>\n

Chilled water bottles were distributed, but quickly became warm.<\/p>\n

Officers\u2019 lawsuit claims government\u2019s \u2018Anti-Weaponization Fund\u2019 is an illegal slush fund<\/p>\n

And the lawsuit says President Trump will use it to \u201cfinance the insurrectionists and paramilitary groups that commit violence in his name.\u201d<\/p>\n

It describes the fund\u2019s creation as \u201cthe most brazen act of presidential corruption this century.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the attorneys for the officers is Brendan Ballou, a former Justice Department prosecutor who handled Jan. 6 cases.<\/p>\n

Officers who defended Capitol from rioters sue to block payouts from $1.8B \u2018anti-weaponization\u2019 fund<\/p>\n

Two police officers who helped defend the U.S. Capitol from an attack by a mob of Trump supporters sued Wednesday to block anyone \u2014 including Jan. 6, 2021, rioters \u2014 from receiving payouts from a new $1.776 billion settlement fund for people who claim to be victims of politically motivated prosecutions.<\/p>\n

The officers\u2019 attorneys filed the federal lawsuit a day after Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the fund\u2019s creation during a congressional hearing. Blanche, a personal attorney for Trump before joining the Justice Department, wouldn\u2019t rule out the possibility that rioters who assaulted police on Jan. 6 would be eligible for fund payouts.<\/p>\n

More than 100 police officers were injured during the Capitol riot. Over 1,600 people were charged with Jan. 6-related crimes, but Trump used his pardon powers to erase all of those cases in a sweeping act of clemency last year.<\/p>\n

The plaintiffs suing Trump over the fund are Metropolitan Police Department officer Daniel Hodges and former U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn, who\u2019s running in Maryland for a seat in Congress.<\/p>\n

House Speaker Mike Johnson says Trump\u2019s endorsement is \u2018most powerful\u2019<\/p>\n

The Republican leader said he spoke with the president late after Tuesday\u2019s primary elections and the defeat of Rep. Thomas Massie, a once popular GOP lawmaker.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talked about how his endorsement is the most powerful in the history of politics,\u201d Johnson of Louisiana said at the Capitol.<\/p>\n

The speaker insisted there\u2019s room in the Republican Party for those who cross Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t demand loyalty to the president,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never ask anybody to violate a core principle,\u201d he said, but \u201cyou have to give up on some of your personal preferences sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuban Foreign Affairs Minister Bruno Rodr\u00edguez blasts US Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/p>\n

He called Rubio \u201cthe mouthpiece of corrupt and vindictive interests, concentrated in South Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodr\u00edguez wrote on X that Cuba hasn\u2019t rejected $100 million in humanitarian aid the U.S. has offered, adding that the \u201ccynicism is evident to anyone given the devastating effects of the economic blockade and the energy embargo.\u201d<\/p>\n

In late January, President Trump threatened tariffs on countries that supply or sell oil to Cuba, which recently announced that its oil reserves have run dry.<\/p>\n

Rodr\u00edguez also criticized Rubio for releasing a video message Wednesday in which he calls on Cubans to reject their government and demand new leadership and a free-market economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe takes advantage of the infamous date of May 20th,\u201d Rodr\u00edguez wrote. The date marks Cuba\u2019s independence, but the socialist government rejects that date, saying true freedom began with the 1959 Revolution.<\/p>\n

Days after Trump visit, Putin and Xi hail their friendship and growing energy trade at meeting<\/p>\n

Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed their strategic ties and growing energy trade as they met in Beijing on Wednesday only days after a visit by President Trump to China.<\/p>\n

Putin and Xi oversaw the signing of more than 40 cooperation agreements in areas such as trade, technology and media exchanges. They stressed their growing trade, particularly in oil and natural gas, and declared themselves aligned on international relations.<\/p>\n

The countries\u2019 ties have reached \u201cthe highest level in history,\u201d Xi said after the signing ceremony, speaking to members of the delegations and journalists. The two sides also agreed to extend a friendship treaty first signed in 2001.<\/p>\n

Putin told those in the room that \u201cthe driving force behind economic cooperation is Russian-Chinese collaboration in the energy sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

US sanctions hit alleged Sinaloa cartel fentanyl network, including a Chihuahua restaurant<\/p>\n

The U.S. imposed sanctions Wednesday on more than a dozen people, a Mexican restaurant and a security firm linked to Mexico\u2019s powerful Sinaloa cartel and its fentanyl trafficking activities.<\/p>\n

The Treasury Department\u2019s Office of Foreign Assets Control targeted Jesus Gonzalez Penuelas, a fugitive known as Chuy Gonzalez, who\u2019s alleged to be involved in trafficking narcotics into the U.S. and laundering funds for the cartel. The State Department has been offering a $5 million reward for information leading to his arrest since 2024.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Armando de Jesus Ojeda Aviles, who allegedly helps launder the proceeds of fentanyl and other drugs on behalf of the cartel, has also been hit with sanctions.<\/p>\n

A restaurant in Chihuahua, called Gorditas Chiwas \u2014 controlled by sanctioned businessman Alfredo Orozco Romero \u2014 was hit with sanctions.<\/p>\n

The sanctions cut them off from the U.S. banking system, cut off their ability to work with Americans and block their U.S. assets.<\/p>\n

Trump has repeatedly offered to send the U.S. military after the cartels and his administration designated the Sinaloa cartel as a terrorist group in 2025.<\/p>\n

Trump says \u2018I\u2019m in no hurry\u2019 on making an Iran deal<\/p>\n

Asked about it before boarding Air Force One to fly to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut to deliver a commencement address, Trump suggested he might be willing to accept a smaller scale deal with Tehran that would simply open the Strait of Hormuz but potentially not address larger goals.<\/p>\n

Trump said of such a deal, \u201cThe strait would have to open immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he added, \u201cI\u2019m in no hurry.\u201d<\/p>\n

He shrugged off suggestions that GOP performances in November\u2019s midterm elections could increase the political pressure to make a deal, but also said: \u201cWe could do it another way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump to attend the G7 summit next month to discuss investment partnerships and AI<\/p>\n

The White House says Trump will be at the June 15-17 meeting in Evian-les-Bains, in the French Alps.<\/p>\n

The war in Iran promises to be a major point of contention, as Trump has said U.S. allies haven\u2019t done enough to help open the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

But Trump also wants to use discussions to reframe development conversations so they can better focus on investment partnerships that benefit investors as well as recipient nations, the White House says.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll further seek to promote global innovation around artificial intelligence development, boost critical mineral supply chain resilience and strengthen international actions against drug smuggling and further tougher immigration policies. And Trump will use the meeting to promote U.S. energy exports, the White House says.<\/p>\n

GOP House members applaud moves toward indictment of Ra\u00fal Castro<\/p>\n

During a news conference Wednesday on Capitol Hill, Rep. Mario D\u00edaz-Balart said \u201cthe day of justice is finally arriving\u201d for the Castro family and that the U.S. \u201cis going to do the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saying she was addressing the Castro family, Rep. Mar\u00eda Elvira Salazar, another south Florida Republican, said, \u201cyour days are over,\u201d adding that \u201ca federal indictment is serious stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Friday that the Justice Department is preparing to seek the indictment against the former Cuban president, connected to his alleged role in the 1996 shootdown of two planes operated by the Miami-based exile group Brothers to the Rescue. Those moves come as Trump threatens possible military action against the communist-run island.<\/p>\n

Trump celebrates primary night wins and says GOP leadership \u2018will be all right\u2019<\/p>\n

As he prepared to travel to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut to deliver a commencement address , the president said to reporters that he \u201chad a great number of victories\u201d in Tuesday\u2019s elections and that he \u201cwon all races.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot just Massie. Massie\u2019s a low life,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

Trump was asked if he spoke to Senate Republican leadership about going up against an incumbent in his endorsement Tuesday of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton over GOP Sen. John Cornyn in the Texas Senate race.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did. They\u2019ll be all right with it. They want to win. I know how to win,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

He added a moment later: \u201cSome of them don\u2019t know how to win. I know how to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s portrait hits New Delhi traffic as US Embassy rolls out \u2018Happy Birthday America!\u2019 rickshaws<\/p>\n

In New Delhi\u2019s chaotic traffic, where the backs of auto-rickshaws sometimes double as mobile billboards, some commuters are now being greeted by an unlikely face: U.S. President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Splashed beneath his portrait is the slogan, \u201cHappy Birthday America!\u201d<\/p>\n

About 100 auto-rickshaws carrying large images of Trump and the Statue of Liberty have appeared across the Indian capital in recent weeks. In a city where the backs of thousands of three-wheelers are routinely covered with ads for little-known fertility clinics, English-speaking courses and herbal remedies, the American branding stands out.<\/p>\n

The unusual advertising campaign was unveiled last month by Sergio Gor, the U.S. ambassador to India. It\u2019s part of a broader push by the U.S to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, with celebrations, cultural events and public outreach campaigns planned in several countries.<\/p>\n

Announcing the initiative on social media last month, the U.S. Embassy posted, \u201cFreedom is on the move \u2026 literally!\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuban official responds to Rubio\u2019s message to the people of Cuba<\/p>\n

Cuba\u2019s deputy foreign minister, Carlos F. de Coss\u00edo, took to X on Wednesday after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted a video blaming the socialist government for the suffering of the Cuban people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason the US Secretary of State lies so repeatedly and unscrupulously about Cuba and tries to justify the aggression he inflicts on the Cuban people is not ignorance or incompetence. He knows full well that there is no excuse for such cruel and ruthless aggression,\u201d Coss\u00edo wrote.<\/p>\n

Rubio, who spoke in Spanish in the video, denied that a U.S. energy blockade is to blame for daily outages lasting up to 22 hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real reason you don\u2019t have electricity, fuel or food is because those who control your country have plundered billions of dollars, but nothing has been used to help the people,\u201d Rubio claimed.<\/p>\n

In January, President Trump threatened tariffs on any country that sells or provides oil to Cuba, which recently announced it has no more oil reserves.<\/p>\n

Rubio appeals to Cuban people to accept US offer for a new relationship<\/p>\n

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is urging the Cuban people to reject their current socialist government and demand a free-market economy with new leadership he says will chart a new course in relations with the United States.<\/p>\n

In a video message released Wednesday, Rubio said there\u2019s no reason the Cuban people cannot enjoy the same freedoms that others in the Caribbean have.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not impossible,\u201d he said in a Spanish-language post that was recorded Tuesday ahead of an expected indictment of former Cuban President Raul Castro by the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf owning your own business and having the right to vote is possible around Cuba, why is it not possible for you in Cuba?\u201d Rubio asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the U.S., we are ready to open a new chapter in the relationship between our people and our countries,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd, currently, the only thing standing in the way of a better future are those who control your country.\u201d<\/p>\n

GOP\u2019s YOLO caucus is small but growing. That may spell trouble for Trump\u2019s congressional agenda<\/p>\n

In a Republican-led Congress defined by deference to President Trump, there\u2019s a small but steadily growing cohort who\u2019ve found themselves more willing to break with the White House. Although the president maintains a firm grip on Republican voters, the expanding club could hinder his agenda on everything from the Iran war to immigration funding at a moment when his party holds a tenuous majority on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n

Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana is the newest member of the club. Just days after losing his primary to a Trump-backed challenger, Cassidy on Tuesday reversed himself on legislation involving the war in Iran and voted with Democrats to rein in U.S. military action.<\/p>\n

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas could be next after Trump endorsed Ken Paxton, Cornyn\u2019s rival for the Republican nomination in next week\u2019s runoff.<\/p>\n

Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky is perhaps a founding member of the YOLO caucus, having frustrated Trump since the president\u2019s first term, and his status was solidified after losing his primary Tuesday to a Trump-backed challenger. Massie has enraged Trump by voting against his signature tax and spending bill and by pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.<\/p>\n

Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie charted his own way, until toppled by Trump<\/p>\n

The renegade Republican who rose to prominence as an idiosyncratic and stubborn outlier in his party, popular in the Kentucky district that repeatedly sent him to the House, lost his primary bid for reelection Tuesday after a vicious and costly attack by President Trump.<\/p>\n

The stunning outcome caps a career like few others and shows the extent of the president\u2019s ability to badger, badmouth and eventually boot out his political adversaries \u2014 and that no lawmaker is apparently safe. Massie\u2019s defeat comes after the Trump-led ouster of Sen. Bill Cassidy in Louisiana over the weekend and the president\u2019s endorsement Tuesday of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in his challenge to Sen. John Cornyn, which sent chills through the Senate.<\/p>\n

Trump had reserved his fiercest attacks for Massie, a quirky conservative who\u2019d become among the most powerful rank-and-file Republicans in the House because of his willingness to vote as he pleased, rather than as the party demanded. And now he\u2019s been toppled like so many other Republicans who crossed the president.<\/p>\n

Trump regains some overall strength on immigration: AP-NORC poll<\/p>\n

The issue of immigration may be reemerging as an asset for Trump, a new AP-NORC poll suggests.<\/p>\n

Immigration was one of Trump\u2019s strengths early on, with about half of U.S. adults saying they liked his approach, but approval of his handling of the issue dipped after months of aggressive immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n

Now, just under half of U.S. adults, 45%, approve of how he is handling that issue.<\/p>\n

Immigration remains one of Trump\u2019s stronger issues among Republicans. About 8 in 10 \u2014 83% \u2014 approve of his handling of the issue, which is slightly higher than the share that says he\u2019s doing a good job as president.<\/p>\n

Poll: Many Republicans are unhappy about the economy, but they\u2019re still with Trump<\/p>\n

Republicans are unhappier with President Trump\u2019s economic approach than they were a few months ago, but they\u2019re largely continuing to stand behind him.<\/p>\n

About 6 in 10 Republicans \u2014 63% \u2014 approve of how Trump is handling the economy in a new AP-NORC poll. That\u2019s down from 79% in February, before the Iran war began.<\/p>\n

About one-third of U.S. adults overall approve of how he is handling the economy.<\/p>\n

That erosion isn\u2019t translating to his overall job approval \u2014 roughly 7 in 10 Republicans approve of how he\u2019s handling the presidency, similar to earlier this year. The findings highlight Trump\u2019s continued strength within the Republican Party, even as economic frustration grows.<\/p>\n

For Vance and Rubio, the road to 2028 takes a turn through the White House briefing room<\/p>\n

The earliest signals of a presidential race normally involve such subtle and behind-the-scenes positioning from candidates that it\u2019s been dubbed in political circles as the \u201cshadow primary.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the early Republican race to succeed Trump in just over two years\u2019 time seems to be already playing out in one of the most public forums possible: the White House press briefing room.<\/p>\n

Vice President JD Vance, who is seen as one of the GOP\u2019s strongest potential candidates for president in 2028, stepped up to the lectern on Tuesday, holding the spotlight for 54 minutes as he took questions from reporters.<\/p>\n

It was five minutes longer than the turn taken two weeks ago by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the person currently seen as Vance\u2019s possible chief rival \u2014 or running mate \u2014 in 2028.<\/p>\n

Vance and Rubio were tapped to fill in as temporary replacements for White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who is on maternity leave. The chance to parry questions before news cameras was a high-profile opportunity to try to make a case that they should be elected commander-in-chief.<\/p>\n
