They Won't 'Say A Word': Jimmy Kimmel Nails Republicans On Biggest Trump Hypocrisy
Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday wondered if rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is on trial for alleged sex trafficking, would buy a pardon from President Donald Trump if convicted.
'Would anybody be surprised by that?' he asked. 'Trump right now is selling the presidency like it's a Kardashian Instagram page.'
He noted that Trump this week is hosting a private dinner for the top 220 holders of his memecoin.
'An intimate gathering for 220 scumbags,' Kimmel said, adding that many are foreigners trying to buy influence by purchasing the president's coin.
'It's so much more convenient than backing a U-Haul full of gold bars up to Mar-a-Lago,' Kimmel said, and noted that one watchdog organization called it the most 'nakedly corrupt self-enrichment scheme' in U.S. presidential history.
Kimmel said Trump has made billions of dollars off crypto, and buyers spent some $140 million to get in on his special dinner.
'Which is pretty impressive for a guy who thinks crypto is where they buried the pope,' Kimmel said.
He called out Trump's GOP enablers for hypocrisy.
'None of these Republicans who screamed bloody murder about the 'Biden crime family' say a word about the sitting president raking in cash like he's a craps dealer at Caesars Palace,' he said.

From MAGA to ‘TACO'
For a man who built his Make America Great Again brand, in part, on his cartoonish projection of strength, there can be no nastier comment than calling Trump a chicken. Advertisement With his mean-girl insults and movie-villain glare, Trump relishes being the self-righteous crusader who squares up against his enemies. Even during an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania campaign rally last summer, Trump, his ear apparently grazed and bloodied by a bullet, pumped his fist in the air and yelled Get The Gavel A weekly SCOTUS explainer newsletter by columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr. Enter Email Sign Up That image, which Trump has Advertisement 'So I just tried to think of a catchy acronym, and TACO happened to be the most kind of amusing one that I could think of,' Armstrong said. It's amusing others as well. After Trump again walked back one of his trade-war threats, MSNBC host On his late night show, 'Let's Go TACO' is also a spin on 'Let's Go Brandon,' which, during former president Joe Biden's White House tenure, became a stand-in for a profane anti-Biden chant popular among Trump supporters. Why TACO riles Trump is obvious. It exposes the indecisiveness and chaos he tries to pass off as calculated leadership. But it also takes one of the president's favorite devices — deploying a punchy phrase such as 'You're fired,' from his reality show days on 'The Apprentice'; 'fake news,' now a staple of the autocratic lexicon; or his 'Big Beautiful Bill' — and flips it against him. Advertisement '[TACO] is actually entering the mainstream culture, and we can see this right here in Google searches,' Harry Enten, CNN's data guru, said during a recent segment. He pointed to a chart that showed a whopping '9,900 percent increase' in searches of the acronym between Tuesday and Thursday of last week. Armstrong came up with TACO to address Trump's erratic trade war. But the notion that he chickens out can be applied to other things, including his barely there negotiations with President Vladimir Putin of Russia on ending the Kremlin's unprovoked war against Ukraine. If Democrats calling his strange tangents during campaign rallies 'weird' during the 2024 presidential campaign got under Trump's thin skin, then TACO, which jabs at his weakness, cuts right to the bone. Back in the day on 'Saturday Night Live,' Chevy Chase portrayed then-president Gerald Ford as an inveterate klutz, which, right or wrong, publicly branded him as an incompetent dolt. Now, more than anything Democrats have concocted to counter Trump 2.0, TACO could have the same power to define and undercut this destructively unstable presidency. With one memorable term tailored specifically for Trump, the troller-in-chief is getting deservedly trolled. Renée Graham is a Globe columnist. She can be reached at

Warren releases 130-accusation report on Elon Musk's tenure
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Tuesday released a 130-accusation report on tech billionaire Elon Musk's time as a special government employee, arguing he profited from his work in the Trump administration. 'While serving as a 'Special Government Employee' in the White House and leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk has maintained extensive financial conflicts of interest through his ownership or stake in several private and publicly traded companies: Tesla, SpaceX, X and xAI, the Boring Company, and Neuralink,' the introduction of the report, which notes Musk's net work increased by over $100 billion since Election Day, reads. The report from Warren separates her 130 accusations by section with titles like 'Government resources to promote Musk's businesses,' 'Undercutting agencies regulating and investigating Musk's businesses,' 'Policy changes and approvals that benefit Musk's businesses,' and 'Lack of public transparency.' 'Musk and individuals acting on his behalf have been involved in dozens of questionable actions that raise questions about corruption, ethics, and conflicts of interest,' the report states. Musk's time spent as a special government employee in the first few months of President Trump's second term was marked by a crusade to drastically cut the size and spending of the federal government. The tech billionaire's DOGE has drawn intense backlash via its targeting of federal agencies and departments like the Treasury Department and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The Hill has reached out to the White House, Tesla, SpaceX, X, xAI, The Boring Company and Neuralink for comment.

Trump's Justice Department to investigate Biden pardons, use of autopen
Trump's Justice Department to investigate Biden pardons, use of autopen Show Caption Hide Caption Biden speaks in public for first time since cancer diagnosis Former president Joe Biden delivered his first public speech at a Memorial Day event in Delaware since his cancer diagnosis was announced. Presidents, including Trump, have used autopens for decades. There is no law prohibiting the use of autopens for pardons, as previous presidents have done. The pardons went to Biden's siblings James Biden, Frank Biden and Valerie Biden Owens as well as their spouses, John Owens and Sara Biden. On the campaign trail in 2023, Trump, who was then facing four criminal indictments, vowed to appoint a special prosecutor if he was re-elected to 'go after' President Biden and his family. President Donald Trump's Justice Department is examining pardons issued by former President Joe Biden in the final days of his presidency, a move that comes amid an investigation by the House Oversight Committee into the former president's alleged mental decline and use of autopen, the White House confirmed on June 3. Ed Martin, the Justice Department's pardon attorney, told staff on June 2 that he had been directed to investigate clemency and pardons granted by Biden, a Democrat, in the waning days of his presidency to family members and death row inmates, according to Reuters. In an email seen by Reuters, the investigation will focus on whether Biden "was competent and whether others were taking advantage of him through use of AutoPen or other means." An autopen is a device that mechanically replicates a signature. Presidents, including Trump, have used autopens for decades. There is no law prohibiting the use of autopens for pardons, as previous presidents have done. On Jan 20, the last day of his presidency, Biden pardoned his siblings and their spouses, saying his family had been 'subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me — the worst kind of partisan politics.' On the campaign trail in 2023, Trump, who was then facing four criminal indictments, vowed to appoint a special prosecutor if he was re-elected to 'go after' President Biden and his family. The pardons went to Biden's siblings James Biden, Frank Biden and Valerie Biden Owens as well as their spouses, John Owens and Sara Biden. Biden on December 1 pardoned his son Hunter Biden who had pleaded guilty to tax violations and was convicted on firearms-related charges. A spokeswoman for Biden refused to comment on the development. The 82-year old Democrat announced last month that he'd been diagnosed with an 'aggressive' Stage 4 prostate cancer. Questions around Biden's mental health came under public scrutiny during a June presidential debate with then-Republican nominee Donald Trump, raising questions about the Democrats' well-being, and he ultimately dropped out of the White House race paving the way for then-Vice President Kamala Harris. On May 22, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (Ky. -R) sent letters to Biden's physician and former White House aides demanding they appear for a transcribed interview as part of an investigation into Biden's health and use of autopen. The investigation's stated purpose is to 'uncover the truth' about Biden's "mental decline and potential unauthorized use of an autopen for sweeping pardons and other executive actions.' Letters seeking testimony have been sent to staffers including former senior adviser to the first lady Anthony Bernal, former Domestic Policy Council Director Neera Tanden and former deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini. Martin, the DOJ official, who wrote the letter to staff took over as the director of the Weaponization Working Group, associate deputy attorney general, and pardon attorney after his nomination for U.S. attorney for Washington D.C. was pulled by Trump in early May. Martin failed to get enough Republican support from Capitol Hill due to his championing of the Trump supporters who attacked the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn the 2020 election on Jan. 6, 2021. Last week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt asked former First lady Jill Biden to speak up about her husband's alleged mental decline, saying she was 'complicit' in a 'cover up.'
