Chef Nobu plays coy over Donald Trump's 'ban' from prestigious restaurant chain

World renowned chef Nobuyuki 'Nobu' Matsuhisa played coy when asked whether President Donald Trump is allowed to dine at his restaurants. Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail on the red carpet at the premiere for Nobu at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on Wednesday night, the acclaimed restaurateur let out a laugh when questioned. Chef Nobu then added: 'I don't want to talk about the politics!' His comments come seven years after Nobu co-founder Robert De Niro said that he would 'walk out' if Trump, 78, entered a restaurant he was dining in. 'I don't care what he likes,' the Casino actor, 81, told Daily Mail at the time. 'If he walked into a restaurant I was in, I'd walk out.' Chef Nobu, 76, added: 'It's my dream for Trump to sit next to Bob. To make them sushi!' A representative for De Niro also said at the time that the actor has 'not banned anyone from dining at Nobu.' At the time of writing, there are over 55 Nobu restaurants globally, spanning five continents. His comments come seven years after Nobu co-founder Robert De Niro said that he would 'walk out' if Trump entered a restaurant he was dining in The Nobu brand also boasts of 38 Nobu Hotels and 12 residence projects. The upcoming Nobu documentary, directed and produced by Matt Tyrnauer, delves deep into the celebrity chef's trials and tribulations that would shape his path. The film features appearances from his founding partner De Niro, supermodel Cindy Crawford and celebrated chefs Wolfgang Puck and Jean-Georges Vongerichten. 'I think it was a great story that hadn't been told on film,' Tyrnauer told Daily Mail on the red carpet. 'He's an innovator, he's a household name, but I don't think people knew the story behind him, so for me, it was a great opportunity to tell the story you don't really know.' Part of the documentary sees Chef Nobu open up about the death of his late best friend Sakai, who died by suicide in 2017. The scenes are raw and emotional, with the chef breaking down in front of the camera. 'He broke down on camera very early in the interview process talking about his best friend,' Tyrnauer said. 'Nobu admits that he's harbored a great deal of guilt about this, and it wasn't easy for him to talk about, clearly. That was a very emotional moment on camera. 'We then went to the cemetery together to see the grave of his best friend. He hadn't been before and he again broke down, understandably so. These were very raw moments.' 'I've interviewed a lot of people and I've never seen anyone so upset as they recollected something,' Tyrnauer added. Despite the emotion, the filming process was a cathartic experience for Chef Nobu. 'He thanked me, although he didn't need to, for as he put it "helping him heal,"' Tyrnauer said. 'I think the role of a filmmaker sometimes can be a bit of a psychiatrist, unlicensed. It's not something that I seek to take on but sometimes it happens accidentally and I think that the process seemed to work for him in a way that he felt better after.' Nobu will open in New York at the Angelika Film Center on June 27, followed by a national rollout beginning July 4.

US files lawsuit against New York for blocking immigration officials near court

WASHINGTON, June 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department said on Thursday that it has filed a lawsuit challenging a New York state law that blocks immigration officials from arresting individuals at or near New York courthouses. "Specifically, the complaint challenges a law, called the Protect Our Courts Act, that purposefully shields dangerous aliens from being lawfully detained at or on their way to or from a courthouse and imposes criminal liability for violations of the shield," the Justice Department said in a statement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi said New York was employing policies similar to those used by California to prevent "illegal aliens from apprehension." "This latest lawsuit in a series of sanctuary city litigation underscores the Department of Justice's commitment to keeping Americans safe and aggressively enforcing the law," she said. Demonstrators once again took to the streets in major U.S. cities on Thursday to protest President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. A federal judge in San Francisco will hear arguments later in the day as part of California's lawsuit against Trump's deployment of U.S. troops in Los Angeles.

Terry Moran launches Substack to continue doing ‘important work' following ABC News ouster

A day after ABC News parted ways with longtime correspondent Terry Moran following his 'world-class hater' tweets about Donald Trump and Stephen Miller, Moran announced that he was joining the growing chorus of former TV anchors and hosts who have launched their own Substacks. 'For almost 28 years, I was a reporter and anchor for ABC News, and as you may have heard, I'm not there anymore,' he said in a video posted to social media and his own personal Substack account. In the post titled 'Independence Day,' the former Nightline anchor suggested that he would be going the independent route for the time being, following in the footsteps of other veteran broadcasters and reporters who have recently found themselves sidelined by mainstream news networks and legacy press outlets. 'I'm here, with you, on Substack, this amazing space. And I can't wait to get at it, to get at the important work that we all have to do in this time of such trouble for our country,' he stated. 'I'm gonna be reporting and interviewing and just sharing from you, and hoping to hear from you as well.' Moran did let his followers know that it could be a while before he actually starts producing content on a regular basis. 'So, it'll be a few days, maybe a little bit longer, got to get some stuff sorted out, but can't wait to see you,' he concluded. The now-former ABC News anchor and correspondent is adding his name to the expanding list of prominent names who have turned to Substack and similar subscriber-based platforms as television news networks and media conglomerates continue to slash costs amid dwindling ad revenues. Jim Acosta, the former CNN anchor who left the cable news giant earlier this year rather than accept a move to the dreaded midnight shift, encouraged Moran to follow in his footsteps and join Substack earlier this week. 'Come on in, Terry. The water is warm,' he told Vanity Fair. With other TV news vets such as Joy Reid, Don Lemon, Chuck Todd and Chris Matthews all creating their own online programs – not to mention one-time MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan starting up his own Substack-based media company Zeteo – Vanity Fair spoke to some who have recently taken the dive into independent journalism. 'My advice to Terry or any other legacy media person who goes independent is this: You have spent your whole life as a buyer. People came to you with information, job offers, etc. Now you are a seller,' former CNN analyst Chris Cillizza said, adding, 'My view is that as an independent news creator, you have to be in a lot of places at once.' Moran's Substack announcement also came shortly after anti-Trump digital media empire MeidasTouch – which just hired Katie Phang after MSNBC canceled her show – publicly pitched him to join the network. 'There's a seat at the table for you, Terry,' MeidasTouch founder Ben Meisalas declared in a video posted to social media. 'Help lead the next era of journalism—one that doesn't flinch when democracy is under threat.' The journey from broadcast television to Substacking has been quick for Moran, who was suspended by ABC News on Sunday after he sent out a late-night screed savaging Trump and his deputy chief of staff Miller. 'Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred,' Moran wrote in the since-deleted tweet. 'He's a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.' He added: 'The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. It's not brains. It's bile.' With the administration demanding that the network take action against Moran and MAGA media calling for him to be fired, ABC News announced on Sunday morning that he was 'suspended pending further evaluation' as his post 'does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards.' Moran, who had just sat down with Trump for a newsmaking and high-profile interview six weeks earlier, found himself fired two days later. Progressives and liberals savaged the move and accused the network of once again capitulating to the president, specifically noting that the network had paid Trump $15 million late last year to settle a defamation lawsuit involving anchor George Stephanopoulos. In the end, though, the decision to cut Moran may have had as much to do with economics as it did with criticism over his tweets, which also reportedly resonated within the halls of the ABC newsroom. 'The fact that Moran was at the end of a contract cycle — his deal was set to expire on Friday, according to a person briefed on the matter — made it easier for ABC to take swift action,' CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter reported on Tuesday.
