Bill Clinton makes jab at Donald Trump’s age and rally dancing

Donald Trump found himself confronted by a collection of friends and foes as he attended the Al Smith Memorial Dinner on Thursday, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and New York Attorney General Letitia James among his enemies in attendance.

Accompanied by his wife Melania Trump, the Republican presidential nominee was roasted by host Jim Gaffigan before delivering the Catholic charity gala’s keynote speech, in which he derided election rival Kamala Harris, former president Barack Obama, and Schumer, and commiserated with city mayor Eric Adams on his recent indictment.

While Trump complained about Harris’s absence, the vice president did send in a short comedic video in lieu of appearing, featuring comic Molly Shannon.

Harris spent her evening rallying supporters in Green Bay, Wisconsin, remarking: “When you listen to Donald Trump talk, it becomes increasingly clear, he has no idea what he’s talking about.”

She also declared that “the American people are exhausted with his gaslighting” and sent two MAGA activists out when they heckled her.

Meanwhile, Fox News host Bret Baier admitted to a mistake with a video clip during his interview with Harris this week — something that she was able to play to her advantage.

Both candidates will be in battleground Michigan on Friday.

Bret Baier says he made a ‘mistake’ with clip in Harris interview but a former Fox colleague isn’t buying it

Fox News host Bret Baier has said he made a “mistake” during his interview with Vice President Kamala Harris this week by showing the incorrect clip of Donald Trump speaking about “the enemy from within”.

At the bottom of his show Special Report, on Thursday, Baier explained to viewers that a particularly heated moment between him and the vice president arose after a clip was played of Trump defending himself for denigrating leftist Americans during a town hall.

“I made a mistake and I want to say that I did make a mistake,” Baier told viewers.

Gretchen Carlson isn’t impressed by his explanation as Ariana Baio reports.

Trump calls judge ‘most evil person’ as she releases 1,889 heavily redacted pages of evidence in Jan 6 case

The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s election interference case in Washington, DC unsealed nearly 2,000 heavily redacted pages of evidence submitted by the special counsel’s office, with only handfuls of readable pages across four massive filings that trace the history of the former president’s election denialism.

The filings published on Friday included transcripts of Trump’s remarks, social media posts, interviews from the House select committee that investigated the January 6 attack, campaign emails, the so-called “coup memo” outlining the legally dubious attempt to reject the electoral college certification, and excerpts from Mike Pence’s book and his statement refusing to reject election results.

Trump called Judge Tanya Chutkan “the most evil person” and labeled special counsel Jack Smith a “sick puppy” as he lashed out at the criminal case against him during a podcast on Friday.

Donald Trump called the judge overseeing the January 6 election interference federal criminal case against him “the most evil person”

US District Judge Tanya Chutkan has already faced threats from his supporters after being assigned the case in 2023. Trump also called special counsel Jack Smith “a sick puppy”.

The former president made the remarks during an appearance on Dan Bongino’s rightwing podcast on Friday.

Judge Chutkan raised Trump’s ire by releasing almost 1,900 pages of heavily redacted documents today that Smith had submitted to argue against Trump’s motion to dismiss the case.

Much of the information released was already in the public domain, including transcripts of public statements and interviews with the House selection committee that investigated January 6 throughout 2022.

Trump called the release of the documents “election interference” during Bongino’s podcast an called it “a terrible thing, what’s happening. And the judges, this judge is the most evil person.”

He continued: “They all said, ‘Well, make sure you don’t get Chutkan.’ And who did I get? I got Chutkan.”

How Trump and Harris revealed F1’s true value as presidential race nears finish line

For a sport that struggled for the best part of 70 years to find a home across the Atlantic, Formula One’s presence in the United States has reached unprecedented heights this year. And that’s not just a nod to the three US races, in Miami, Austin and Las Vegas, nor to the boom in popularity stateside – a result of Liberty Media’s 2017 takeover and Netflix’s Drive to Survive fever.

Rather it has been, ahead of the highly charged US presidential election on 5 November, the surprising arena for the two nominees to appear, promote and present themselves in a unique and increasingly attractive way to the electorate.

Harris comments on ‘exhausted’ Trump insulting Michigan and auto workers

Ahead of her remarks in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Kamala Harris spoke with reporters about Donald Trump insulting Michiganders:

“Again, we have a situation where the former president is insulting the people of this state, saying that auto workers, that their important and good and highly skilled work could be performed by a child, which is just further evidence that Donald Trump comes from a place where he really just doesn’t appreciate or understand how most people in this country work very hard for all that they have and there is great dignity in their work.”

As in the earlier video post, she also commented on reports that the former president is suffering from “exhaustion” as his campaign reportedly told the team at The Shade Room podcast.

“His team is saying that he is suffering from exhaustion, that’s the excuse for … not doing …interviews, not doing the CNN town hall … (or) another debate. You know, look, being president of the United States is probably one of the hardest jobs in the world, and so we really do need to ask ourselves if he’s exhausted from being on the campaign trail, is he fit to do the job?”
