Senator John Fetterman , who is a Democrat from Pennsylvania, was seen talking to Steve Bannon on Monday night. They were at a restaurant called Butterworth's in Washington D.C. This place is popular with people who support MAGA , reports said.Fetterman and Bannon talked for about 20 minutes, but they did not have dinner together. Fetterman had dinner with Matt Boyle, who works for the right-wing news site Breitbart. When reporters asked Fetterman about the meeting, he said, 'Oh my gosh, I don't have anything,' but he didn't say it was false, said Politico.Fetterman's team later told The Hill that meeting Bannon was 'inadvertent and impromptu', meaning it just happened by chance. Bannon goes to Butterworth's often. Other big Trump supporters also go there, like Kash Patel, Elon Musk, and blogger Curtis Yarvin, as stated by The Hill report.The restaurant is popular and even got called one of the best in D.C. by The Washington Post food critic. The place serves fancy food like lamb tartare, rabbit, and French fries in beef fat. This is not the first time Fetterman was with Trump-linked people.

US pauses worker visas for commercial truck drivers after Florida crash that killed three
The United States government is pausing all issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers 'effective immediately'. The announcement was made on X by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The move comes after the August 12 accident in Florida which claimed the lives of three people. Image for representation(Unsplash) 'The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on U.S. roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers,' he said. Big move after Florida accident The move comes after the August 12 accident in Florida which claimed the lives of three people. Harjinder Singh, an Indian, was behind the wheel at the time, and subsequently, details have emerged that he entered the US illegally. Singh crossed the Mexico border illegally in 2018 and got a commercial driver's license in California, the Florida Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) said. He is said to have been driving 'recklessly, and without regard for the safety of others'. He was trying to take a U-turn in an unauthorized area, when the accident took place. Since then, there has been a lot of outcry over an illegal immigrant causing an accident that claimed American lives. The Department of Homeland Security even weighed in on the matter and announced that Singh had been denied a work permit during Donald Trump's first term in office, but managed to secure one under the Joe Biden administration. Also Read | Florida truck crash by Indian driver sparks row between Trump adminstration, California governor California Governor Gavin Newsom has also been caught up in a political battle over Singh getting a license from his state. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin hit out at the Democrat, saying 'Three innocent people were killed in Florida because Gavin Newsom's California Department of Motor Vehicles issued an illegal alien a Commercial Driver's License—this state of governance is asinine. How many more innocent people must die before Gavin Newsom stops playing games with the safety of the American public? We pray for the victims and their families. Secretary Noem and DHS are working around the clock to protect the public and get these criminal illegal aliens out of America.' Meanwhile, it has been announced that Singh will be deported after he faces trial for his actions.

Trump Warns ‘Not Playing Games' in Visit to Federal Police in DC
President Donald Trump visited a Park Police operations facility to thank federal law enforcement officers he's deployed to patrol the streets of Washington, DC, saying he expected their deployment to last 'for a while.' 'We're going to then go on to other places, but we're going to stay here for a while,' Trump said. 'We want to make this absolutely perfect, it's our capital.' The visit to the building in Washington's Anacostia neighborhood appeared less dramatic than his suggestion on a radio show earlier Thursday that he would be 'going out' with a patrol in a 'secret' trip with the police and military, but nevertheless returned focus to his controversial move last week to surge US officers and troops into the nation's capital and put the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control. 'We're not playing games. We're going to make it safe,' Trump said. The president brought hamburgers and pizza to the officers he visited to thank them for their service. Trump last week argued the city's carjackings and robberies there amounted to a national emergency. While a post-pandemic crime surge in DC stirred public safety fears, Justice Department data released in January showed violent crime in the city plunging to a 30-year-low. The effort marked Trump's highest-profile moves yet to drive home his law-and-order message. But they are deeply unpopular with DC residents and any appearance by the president on the streets of the nation's capital risked stoking tensions further. Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller were heckled on Wednesday when they met with National Guard members at Union Station. Almost eight in 10 Washingtonians oppose Trump's takeover and 65% said they don't think it will make the city any safer, according to a Washington Post-Schar School poll. Over the last week, the administration has faced criticism that the federal deployment has focused on low-crime, tourist-friendly areas of Washington and has not produced a significant uptick of arrests. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday that the effort has resulted in 550 arrests and 76 illegal firearms being seized. But data from DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's office showed that MPD arrests in the week before the federal takeover were higher than the week after. The White House has been adamant that the numbers don't accurately depict the level of crime and blight in Washington. Trump has sought to discredit the city's crime statistics, ordering the Justice Department to investigate whether local officials falsified the figures. Democrats have dismissed the the move as a thinly veiled attempt for Trump to take power in the nation's capital and amplify his message that liberal policies are soft on crime.

US court throws out massive civil fraud penalty against President Trump
Agency: PTI Last Updated: New York, Aug 22 (AP) A New York appeals court has thrown out President Donald Trump's massive financial penalty while narrowly upholding a judge's finding that he engaged in fraud by exaggerating his wealth for decades. The Thursday's ruling spares Trump from a potential half-billion-dollar fine but bans him and his two eldest sons from serving in corporate leadership for a few years. Trump, in a social media post, claimed 'total victory" in the case, which stemmed from a civil lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. 'I greatly respect the fact that the Court had the Courage to throw out this unlawful and disgraceful Decision that was hurting Business all throughout New York State," the Republican wrote. James, a Democrat, focused on the parts of the decision that went her way, saying in a statement that it 'affirmed the well-supported finding of the trial court: Donald Trump, his company, and two of his children are liable for fraud." The ruling came seven months after Trump returned to the White House, his political fortunes unimpeded by the civil fraud judgment, a criminal conviction and other legal blows. A sharply divided panel of five judges in the state's mid-level Appellate Division couldn't agree on many issues raised in Trump's appeal, but a majority said the monetary penalty was 'excessive". A lower-court judge, Arthur Engoron, had ordered Trump last year to pay $355 million in penalties after finding that he flagrantly padded financial statements provided to lenders and insurers. With interest, the sum has topped $515 million. Additional penalties for executives at his company, the Trump Organisation, including sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr, have brought the total to $527 million with interest. 'While harm certainly occurred, it was not the cataclysmic harm that can justify a nearly half billion-dollar award" to the state, Judges Dianne Renwick and Peter Moulton wrote in one of three opinions shaping the appeals court's ruling. They called the penalty 'an excessive fine that violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution." Both were appointed by Democratic governors. Engoron's other punishments, upheld by the appeals court, have been on pause during Trump's appeal, and the president was able to hold off collection of the money by posting a $175 million bond. Donald Trump Jr celebrated the decision by mocking James, who had periodically posted a running tally of the fraud penalty, with interest. Over a post from James in February 2024, when the tally was nearly $465 million, Trump Jr wrote: 'I believe you mean $0.00. Thank you for your attention to this matter." The five-judge panel, which split on the merits of the lawsuit and Engoron's fraud finding, dismissed the monetary penalty in its entirety while also leaving a pathway for an appeal to the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals. In the meantime, Trump and his co-defendants, the judges wrote, can seek to extend the pause to prevent any punishments from taking effect. While the Appellate Division dispatches most appeals in a few pages in a matter of weeks, the judges weighing Trump's case took nearly 11 months to rule after oral arguments last fall and issued 323 pages of concurring and dissenting opinions with no majority. Rather, some judges endorsed parts of their colleagues' findings while denouncing others, enabling the court to rule. Two judges wrote that they felt James' lawsuit was justifiable and that she had proven her case but the penalty was too severe. One wrote that James exceeded her legal authority in bringing the suit, saying that if any lenders felt cheated, they could have sued Trump themselves, and none did. Another wrote that Engoron erred by ruling before the trial that James had proven Trump engaged in fraud. In his portion of the ruling, Judge David Friedman, appointed by a Republican governor, was scathing in his criticism of James for bringing the lawsuit. 'Plainly, her ultimate goal was not market hygiene' … but political hygiene, ending with the derailment of President Trump's political career and the destruction of his real estate business," Friedman wrote. 'The voters have obviously rendered a verdict on his political career. This bench today unanimously derails the effort to destroy his business." Trump and his co-defendants denied wrongdoing. At the conclusion of the civil trial in January 2024, Trump said he was 'an innocent man" and the case was a 'fraud on me". The Republican leader has repeatedly maintained the case and the verdict were political moves by James and Engoron, both Democrats. Trump's Justice Department has subpoenaed James for records related to the lawsuit, among other documents, as part of an investigation into whether she violated the president's civil rights. James' personal attorney Abbe D Lowell has said investigating the fraud case is 'the most blatant and desperate example of this administration carrying out the president's political retribution campaign". Trump and his lawyers said his financial statements weren't deceptive, since they came with disclaimers noting they weren't audited. The defence also noted bankers and insurers independently evaluated the numbers, and the loans were repaid. Despite such discrepancies as tripling the size of his Trump Tower penthouse, he said the financial statements were, if anything, lowball estimates of his fortune. During an appellate court hearing last September, Trump's lawyers argued that many of the case's allegations were too old and that James had misused a consumer protection law to sue Trump over private business transactions that were satisfactory to those involved. State attorneys said that while Trump insists no one was harmed by the financial statements, his exaggerations led lenders to make riskier loans and that honest borrowers lose out when others game their net worth numbers. The civil fraud case was just one of several legal obstacles for Trump as he campaigned, won and segued to a second term as president. On Jan 10, he was sentenced in his criminal hush money case to what's known as an unconditional discharge, leaving his conviction on the books but sparing him jail, probation, a fine or other punishment. He is appealing the conviction. top videos View all And in December, a federal appeals court upheld a jury's finding that Trump sexually abused writer E Jean Carroll in the mid-1990s and later defamed her, affirming a $5 million judgment against him. The appeals court declined in June to reconsider. Trump still can try to get the Supreme Court to hear his appeal. Trump also is appealing a subsequent verdict that requires him to pay Carroll $83.3 million for additional defamation claims.
