Donald Trump attacks Meghan Markle in an interview with Piers Morgan – follow him live

Piers Morgan has revealed new details of what happened during his interview with Donald Trump that apparently caused the former president to storm off.

“When we got to the election results and January 6, I looked him straight in the eye and said, I want to be clear with you, I don’t agree that this election has been stolen from you or rigged,” Morgan. he told Fox News on Sunday.

“And at that moment, the fuse went with him and started insulting me. He called me a fool seven times.”

Morgan had said then that there was no hard evidence to indicate that the election had been rigged.

“He couldn’t accept that,” he said. “He has a kind of blind and pathological belief that it was taken from him.”

Rep. Matt Gaetz appeared on Saturday to show his support for fellow Republican Jim Jordan to replace Kevin McCarthy as House Minority Leader.

“Jim Jordan is the hardest working and most talented member of the House Republican Conference. And all the members know it,” Gaetz said in response to a tweet that urged him and Jordan to replace McCarthy.

Mr Gaetz’s comment comes after the New York Times reported an audio clip in which McCarthy can be heard telling fellow lawmakers that he planned to urge the former president to resign in the days following the riots on Capitol Hill in January of last year.

As Republicans hope to regain majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives in November’s midterm elections, they seek to make business dealings by the president’s son a key target.

Republican lawmakers and staff are seeking to analyze specific messages and financial transactions found on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

They have also discussed issuing congressional subpoenas to foreign entities involved in the Hunter Biden payoff, people familiar with the matter told the Associated Press.

While discussions are in the early stages, there has been talk of bringing in Republican lawyers and former Justice Department officials to help lead the investigations.

Meanwhile, the White House is preparing to present a case of opportunism against the Republicans while denying any wrongdoing by the president.

Hunter Biden’s foreign business and taxes are already under federal investigation, with a grand jury in Delaware hearing testimony in recent months.

Two candidates endorsed by Donald Trump in Michigan, Kristina Karamo for secretary of state and Matt DePerno for attorney general, were endorsed by state Republicans in two of the most closely watched political races of the weekend.

DePerno, an attorney, had previously filed a lawsuit to audit the results of the 2020 election in County Antrim, which was dismissed by a Michigan court on Thursday.

Ms. Karamo has said that she was a personal witness to electoral fraud in 2020 and was also part of the Supreme Court lawsuit seeking to annul the 2020 result that was ultimately rejected.

“Michigan is one of the worst at voter fraud and corruption, and they will put an end to it. At the same time, they will get to the bottom of the 2020 voter fraud,” Trump said in a statement.

Trump has endorsed 10 candidates for seats in the state legislature, ABC reported.

Donald Trump took aim at President Joe Biden during his rally in Ohio on Saturday, claiming he has been “taking orders from the Easter Bunny.”

“We’ve never had anything like this and sadly now we have a president who has no idea what the hell is going on,” Trump was quoted as saying by Business Insider.

“Our country is going to hell,” Trump said. “He is shaking hands with the air. He’s a little bewildered, he’d say he’s no good, and he takes orders from the Easter Bunny.”

The former president’s comments referred to a viral moment last week in which a person dressed as an Easter bunny was seen apparently directing Biden as he greeted supporters.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has said that Donald Trump’s decisions to endorse Republican candidates are based not on “political analysis” but on emotion.

In an interview on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, Christie said: “The idea that he makes these decisions based on political analysis is a fallacy.

“These are all emotional decisions and who talks to him in the end.”

He also said endorsements of the former president had “landed everywhere.”

He was referring to his endorsement of JD Vance and the controversial television character Dr. Mehmet Oz.

Both endorsements have drawn backlash from Republicans.

“However, I think when we get to June, we’ll look back and say that most of the great endorsements that he did, not the ones in the dark red House districts, but the great endorsements that he did, are gone. turn out he was wrong,” Christie said.
