President Trump's Department of War says it blew some more narco-terrorists out of the water ... and the explosion is on video.
Footage on social media shows Thursday's attack on an alleged drug smuggling boat in the Eastern Pacific. The military says four men died in the strike.
Trump's taking heat for carrying out strikes against alleged narco-terrorists ... but this seems to indicate he's not going to stop anytime soon.
Donald Trump assassination conspiracy theorists may not believe it, but Thomas Matthew Crooks worked alone when he tried to kill the prez -- this according to the FBI.
Fox News conducted an interview with FBI Director Kash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and an unnamed senior involved in the Butler shooting investigation ... and the three told the outlet the assassination wasn't part of a great cover-up.
Bognino told Fox, "We have reviewed this case over and over -- looked into every nugget. We have spoken to the families, the president -- there is no cover-up here. There is no motive for it, there is no reason for it."
Check out his Truth Social post -- he calls her a traitor and once again accuses her of being upset at him for not returning her phone calls. He also says her association "with the WORST Republican Congressman in decades, Tom Massie of Kentucky," did her in.
Bitterness aside, he adds that he appreciates her previous service to America.
Donald Trump reacted to Marjorie Taylor Greene calling it quits as a member of Congress Friday -- and the president didn't seem bothered at all that his former friend and supporter was leaving, calling the move "great for the country."
Trump spoke by phone with ABC News reporter Rachel Scott last night when he made his first remarks about MTG's resignation from Congress, which she announced earlier in the day.
Trump told Scott, according to her X posts ... "I think it's great news for the country. It's great."
President Donald Trump has signed a bill legislating the release of the Epstein Files ... but a Democratic lawmaker does not have faith the Commander in Chief will honor the commitment.
Rep. Suhas Subramanyam stopped by TMZ Live Thursday to tell us Trump's signature doesn't guarantee a whole lot. The Virginia congressman told us he wouldn't be surprised if Trump tampered with the files, or only releases files relating to Democrats, or withholds anything that could make him look bad.
Suhas said ... "I think that's why he was so quick to sign the legislation."
Donald Trump’s reigniting his beef with Jimmy Kimmel after the talk show quipped the Prez would be "bracing for HurricaneEpstein" Wednesday night ... and let’s just say, Trump did not find the weather forecast funny.
Trump went off in a Truth Social post Wednesday, ranting about why ABC "fake news" keeps Jimmy on air ... calling him talentless, dragging his ratings, alleging "biased" network coverage, and ending it with one heck of a burn ... "Get the bum off the air!!!"
Now, he could just be popping off for sport ... but it’s way more likely he’s reacting to Jimmy’s late-night talk show monologue last night, claiming Trump will be a major name in the Epstein files release.
Donald Trump has signed the bill to require the Justice Department to release all unclassified records relating to Jeffrey Epstein.
This comes after the bill was put on the House floor Tuesday for a full vote, and it passed 427 to 1 -- sending it to the Senate, which agreed unanimously to approve it Tuesday afternoon and send it to Trump's desk
Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie sponsored the bill with California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna ... and Massie has called on Trump to release the files himself. Remember, Trump could have immediately ordered the release of the Epstein Files at any time ... without a House or Senate vote.
"Tiger King" star Joe Exotic has retained a lawyer with ties to President Donald Trump ... and now he is hopeful for a pardon, TMZ has learned.
As you know ... Joe is currently locked up in federal prison in Texas, serving a 21-year prison sentence for a murder-for-hire plot to kill his nemesis, Carole Baskin, and for wildlife violations.
His new attorney, Peter Ticktin, went to military school with POTUS back in the day, and Joe and Peter seem confident they'll be able to work something out.
2:50 PM PT -- Hours after the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to require the Dept. of Justice to release the Epstein Files, the Senate agreed to pass the same bill by unanimous consent -- to move the bill forward with no amendments to the House's version, according to the New York Times. This avoids a recorded vote in the Senate chamber.
Once the bill formally transfers from the House and is received by the Senate, it will automatically go to President Trump's desk. The transfer process generally takes several hours.
Bottom line, the bill could land on President Trump's desk tonight. Trump has said he will sign it.
We're one step closer to finding out who was dealing with Jeffrey Epstein ... the House just approved a bill demanding the Dept. of Justice release the Epstein Files.
The bill was put on the floor Tuesday for a full vote, and it passed by a 427-1 vote.
President Trump has done an about-face on the Epstein Files -- on Friday he said Republicans would be "soft and foolish" to vote for releasing the documents ... but he reversed course by Sunday night and said House Republicans should back the bill.
Well, this is a collab nobody saw coming ... Nicki Minaj is partnering with the Trump Administration to address the United Nations.
The "Anaconda" rapper will reportedly join the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Mike Waltz, to deliver remarks Tuesday in New York City, spotlighting violence committed against Christians in Nigeria. Waltz complimented Nicki in a tweet Sunday, calling her a "principled individual who refuses to remain silent in the face of injustice."
Nicki tweeted her appreciation, writing in a post ... "Ambassador, I am so grateful to be entrusted with an opportunity of this magnitude. I do not take it for granted. It means more than you know."
9:38 AM PST -- Marjorie Taylor Greenetweeted she is getting "warnings for [her] safety" after President Donald Trumptore her apart on Truth Social Friday and into Saturday morning.
She said, in part ... "As a Republican, who overwhelmingly votes for President Trump‘s bills and agenda, his aggression against me which also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls (many of whom are paid), this is completely shocking to everyone."
President Donald Trumpand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene just had a major political breakup -- the prez just rescinded his endorsement of her, calling her a "ranting lunatic" after she publicly blasted his handling of various issues, including the Jeffrey Epstein files, the government shutdown, and foreign policy.
Check out his Truth Social post from Friday -- he ripped into Republican MTG for complaining about his administration rather than focusing on all he's done for the U.S. and said she "has gone Far Left," citing her recent appearance on "The View."
He urged fellow conersatives to use their valuable vote elsewhere and hinted that he will support whoever may run against her in Georgia if it's the "right" candidate.
"I spoke to [President Trump] about it. He said he'd put in a good word for me, and I think that will probably go a long way."
That's what Bo Nickal told TMZ Sports this week -- just days before the UFC star is set to return to the Octagon following his first defeat in an otherwise blemish-free MMA career -- when asked about next year's highly anticipated fights at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
"I would love to be on that card. It would be a big honor for me. Something that would be very special," the 29-year-old told us, adding, "take care of business, one thing at a time, but it's looking good for the White House card."
Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trumphad a "deep" relationship ... all because of their lust for hot models, according to author Michael Wolff.
Wolff addressed the latest controversy engulfing President Trump over his past association with Epstein on his podcast, "Inside Trump's Head," after the House Oversight Committee released a boatload of emails shedding new light on the president's relationship with the late pedophile Wednesday morning.
The 23,000 emails show, in part, how Epstein and Wolff tried to craft a response that would not fully disclose the relationship between Epstein and Trump in 2015, while Trump was running for his first term as president. Another email Epstein wrote in 2011 to his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell references Trump spending hours at Epstein's house with one of Epstein's victims, later identified as Virginia Giuffre. Trump was not a party to any of the emails, so he never responded.
8:12 PM PT -- President Donald Trump late Wednesday signed a bill to reopen the federal government, officially bringing an end to the bruising 43 day shutdown ... the longest the country has ever seen.
The longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history is about to come to an end.
After GOP leaders presented a federal funding bill Wednesday, the measure has now been passed by the legislative branch and now it just needs to be signed by President Donald Trump, effectively reopening the government.
Trump is likely to sign off within the hour.
The full extent of the damage caused by the shutdown is difficult to measure, but this deal comes after millions of Americans reportedly missed food assistance benefits, and many federal employees missed out on paychecks, whether they were working or not.
Donald Trump is on a pardoning spree ... now wiping the slate clean for Rudy Giuliani and dozens of his close allies accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election.
Ed Martin -- the Department of Justice’s Pardon Attorney -- made the announcement on X Sunday night ... posting a signed proclamation that says the order "ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people following the 2020 Presidential Election and continues the process of national reconciliation."
Giuliani is one of the 77 people Trump is pardoning ... including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and his attorneys Sidney Powell and John Eastman.
Donald Trump just made Darryl Strawberry's year -- the President of the United States has pardoned the New York Mets legend in his 1995 tax evasion case.
The three-time World Series champ revealed the news on Friday ... expressing his gratitude in a detailed Instagram post. He revealed POTUS personally called him on Thursday afternoon to inform him of the clemency.
"Yesterday I was home caring for my wife as she recovered from surgery, when my phone kept ringing relentlessly," Strawberry said.
Sean "Diddy" Combs thinks he's not long for FCI Fort Dix ... because he's telling fellow inmates he will get a presidential pardon from President Donald Trumpearly next year.
Sources at the federal prison in New Jersey tell TMZ ... Diddy is yapping about Trump pardoning him in early 2026.
As we first told you ... last month, Trump was vacillating on whether to pardon Diddy or not, and was seriously considering it. Some folks on Trump's staff at the White House were telling him not to pardon Diddy, but one source told us, "Trump will do what he wants."
