Fresh Details Emerge About Trump’s Would-be Assassin

In a private call, F.B.I. officials told members of Congress that the gunman who tried to kill Donald Trump had searched for images of Trump and President Biden, as well as for the dates of Trump appearances and the Democratic National Convention. Yet the bureau has found no indication that he had strong partisan political views, based on their analysis of two phones that were among his possessions, NYT reports.

The director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, will face sharp scrutiny next week over the assassination attempt. She is scheduled to appear before two congressional committees that are examining the shooting, and inquiries by law enforcement departments, Congress and federal agencies are also underway.

Representative Ronny Jackson, Republican of Texas, who was Trump’s White House doctor, described the former president’s injuries. “The bullet took a little bit off the top of his ear in an area that, just by nature, bleeds like crazy,” he said. “The dressing’s bulked up a bit because you need a bit of absorbent. You don’t want to be walking around with bloody gauze on his ear.”

At the Republican National Convention: In a prime-time speech, Donald Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, accepted their party’s nomination for vice president and connected his difficult upbringing to challenges confronting the American working class.

BREAKING: PDP Bleeds in Oriade: Commissioner Loses 14 Party Leaders to Wole Oke in Home Ward

In a significant political shift, 14 grassroots leaders, including prominent women and youth coordinators from Ward 11, covering Ijeda and Iloko in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, have resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and pledged allegiance to Hon. Wole Oke’s growing political camp in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The mass resignation, formalized in a jointly signed letter, marks a deepening crack within the PDP structure in Oriade, as key mobilizers abandon the party over what they describe as years of marginalization, poor internal democracy, and a lack of direction. Their defection is also seen as a major boost to Wole Oke’s political momentum within the APC, following his recent and controversial departure from the PDP. “We are grateful for the opportunities and experiences we had as PDP members,” the group stated, “but the party no longer reflects our values or aspirations. We believe in Hon. Wole Oke’s leadership and vision, and we are proud to...

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...
