Should we expect anything different from Donald Trump? Isn’t it just like him to call for his Republicans in Congress to shut down the government if it means he walks free?

“Republicans in Congress can and must defund all aspects of Crooked Joe Biden’s weaponized Government,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social media site late on Wednesday, calling it “the last chance to defund these political prosecutions against me and other Patriots.”

The U.S. Justice Department has previously said activities funded by “permanent indefinite appropriations” would continue during any funding lapse.

In addition to his ongoing legal troubles for his unabashed enabling and support of Donald Trump’s recent crimes, more allegations are being piled on to Rudy Giuliani. Now he’s accused of groping a former Trump aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, during the January 6th assault on the Capitol.

The incident allegedly took place backstage at former President Donald Trump’s speech on the day of the insurrection. In an excerpt from Hutchinson’s new memoir, “Enough,” obtained by The Guardian, Hutchinson says the former mayor put his hand under her skirt.

“Rudy wraps one arm around my body, closing the space that was separating us… I lower my eyes and watch his free hand reach for the hem of my blazer,” she wrote of Giuliani.

“‘By the way,’ he says, fingering the fabric, ‘I’m loving this leather jacket on you.’ His hand slips under my blazer, then my skirt… I fight against the tension in my muscles and recoil from Rudy’s grip,” she wrote in the book published by Simon and Schuster, which is a division of CBS News’ parent company Paramount Global. It is set to be released Tuesday.

Giuliani denied the allegations during an interview with Newsmax’s Eric Boiling. “First of all, I am not going to grope somebody at all. False, totally absurd,” he said.

Giuliani spokesperson Ted Goodman told CBS News, “These allegations are false.”

During the recent Republican presidential debate, Vivek Ramaswamy made a series of aggressive attacks against all the participants on the stage. His rapid-fire delivery earned him the nickname “ChatGPT” from Chris Christie, one of the other Republican candidates. Ramaswamy seemed unmatched in his ability to use clever rhetoric to outsmart his opponents.

That was before his appearance on MSNBC.

Appearing on MSNBC, Ramaswamy was set to perform again, but host Medi Hasan had another plan – ask questions, demand answers and point out emphatically, where Ramaswamy was lying.
