If you look at the U.S. Embassy in Greece’s website, there’s no mention of Kimberly Guilfoyle. She was quickly scrubbed from the site, and in her place on the site is her successor, Josh Huck. The change happened almost immediately after President Trump publicly distanced himself from his former future daughter-in-law. Guilfoyle was asked to resign from her position as Ambassador of the United States to Greece amid misconduct allegations in which she was accused of asking a donor to pay her $100,000 American Express bill in exchange for access to high-ranking officials. She also allegedly threatened foreign officials and granted lobbyists privileged access. U.S. Embassy staffers in Athens told the Daily Mail that Guilfoyle’s departure was “unprecedented,” The Daily Beast reports . “We have never seen such a violent beheading of the mission. Usually, these pushouts happen quietly. This was abrupt,” one insider told the outlet. “There is no semblance of shock, rather relief that she’s ...

President Donald Trump has been struggling with New York Republicans and former Republicans for a long time — and one of them, his ex-communications director Anthony Scaramucci, opened up on the president during an interview on Wednesday. "Let me put it to you this way," Scaramucci told MS NOW anchor Katy Tur when discussing the widely-maligned performance of the new press secretary, Katie Zacharia. "If she was my family member, I would say take a powder on that job. It’s not the right job for you. And the universe is sending you a message. You know, the good news for me is that the universe expunged me from Trump world nine years ago." He added, "And at the time it felt like a catastrophe, but the truth of the matter was, probably the best thing that ever happened to me. So if I was her life coach, which I’m not, she’d probably be upset with me for saying all this thing, you know, bail on that job. It’s not the right job for you. And by the way, she comes a...

Despite dominating in ratings for decades, 60 Minutes is taking a hit. Mediate reports a recent episode featuring an interview with Secret Service director Sean M. Curry brought in even more mediocre viewership in comparison to other episodes. The episode drew in 6.061 million total viewers, with 767,000 viewers in the key 25-54 age demographic. Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl has allegedly considered leaving the show due to editing conflicts over her segment about Israeli settler harassment in the West Bank. Other staffers are also dissatisfied. The report notes staff who have protested in disagreement with the direction of the program have been warned they can lose their jobs. Many are reportedly not happy with the current leadership at CBS News. Compared to the Sunday lineup with Tracker and Marshals, which air after 60 Minutes, the news program came in last. The former received above 7 million total viewers. The recent drop in ratings comes after 60 Minutes drew...

President Donald Trump disclaimed any meaningful connection to Kimberly Guilfoyle, the former US ambassador to Greece who resigned in disgrace on Tuesday for allegedly misusing her office for personal profit. Trump has given Guilfoyle the cold shoulder , including describing Guilfoyle's past engagement to his eldest son as "she, I guess, dated my son a long time ago, but she wasn’t.” According to one journalist, Trump has a long history of downplaying his personal relationships with controversial individuals with whom he was once close. "A few years ago, for example, after attorney Sidney Powell pleaded guilty to election-related crimes in Georgia, Trump wrote on his social media platform, 'Despite the Fake News reports to the contrary, and without even reaching out to ask the Trump Campaign, MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS,'" wrote MS NOW's Steve Benen on Tuesday . "(Reality told a different story: Powell was a member of his legal tea...

It can’t be that President Donald Trump lies too much , or that his Department of Justice is a politicized weapon set upon his perceived enemies — so there’s got to be something turning DC jurors against the DOJ’s cases. And the Washington Sun says the Republican House committee overseeing local D.C. affairs is going to get to the bottom of it. Committee Republicans launched an investigation into “politicized jury nullification initiatives by left-wing activist groups,” Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) announced Tuesday. “The investigation is so far targeting two D.C. organizations, Harriet’s Wildest Dreams and Free DC, which have hosted a series of trainings called the Juror Information Project,” reports the Sun. “Comer, who chairs the House Oversight Committee, alleges the groups are advocating for the long-debated practice of jury nullification, which happens when a juror opts to acquit someone — even if they think the accused person is technically guilty — because they object to t...

A retired judge, once powerful enough to be appointed and promoted by two Republican presidents (Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush), seemed to subtly troll President Donald Trump's defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, in a Monday statement. When discussing Hegseth's decision to air live the execution of terrorist and mass murderer Nidal Malik Hasan, most have focused on the fact that America's military has not publicized an execution in nearly a century. Alex Kozinski, on the other hand, praised Hegseth for executing Hasan by firing squad — which Kozinski points out is actually more humane than the most popular execution method, lethal injection. "It borrows medicine’s costume without the people and safeguards that make medicine work," Kozinski wrote in The Wall Street Journal . "Physicians are barred by the American Medical Association’s ethics code from participating in executions; similar constraints apply to nurses. The job therefore falls to law-enforcement ...
