Trump says he's withdrawing the nomination of Musk associate Jared Isaacman to lead NASA
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump announced late Saturday that he is withdrawing the nomination of tech billionaire Jared Isaacman, an associate of Trump adviser Elon Musk, to lead NASA, saying he reached the decision after a 'thorough review" of Isaacman's "prior associations.' It was unclear what Trump meant and the White House did not immediately respond to an emailed request for an explanation. 'After a thorough review of prior associations, I am hereby withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman to head NASA,' Trump wrote on his social media site. 'I will soon announce a new Nominee who will be Mission aligned, and put America First in Space.' Trump announced in December during the presidential transition that he had chosen Isaacman to be the space agency's next administrator. Isaacman, 42, has been a close collaborator with Musk ever since buying his first chartered flight on Musk's SpaceX company in 2021. He is the CEO and founder of Shift4, a credit card processing company. He also bought a series of spaceflights from SpaceX and conducted the first private spacewalk. SpaceX has extensive contracts with NASA. The Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee approved Isaacman's nomination in late April and a vote by the full Senate was expected soon. Musk appeared to lament Trump's decision after the news broke earlier Saturday, posting on the X site that, 'It is rare to find someone so competent and good-hearted.' SpaceX is owned by Musk, a Trump campaign contributor and adviser who announced this week that he is leaving the government after several months at the helm of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Trump created the agency to slash the size of government and put Musk in charge.

Dem Rep. Nadler slams Trump for 'sowing chaos' after his aide was detained by 'heavy-handed' DHS agents in Manhattan office
Longtime Democratic Rep. Jerrod Nadler slammed President Trump for 'sowing chaos' nationwide after federal agents handcuffed one of his aides inside his lower Manhattan office. The lawmaker's verbal tirade came after Department of Homeland Security officers entered the Big Apple office Wednesday and accused his staff of 'harboring rioters' in a dramatic confrontation caught on video. 'President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidating tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner,' he said in a statement to Politico. Advertisement 4 Rep. Jerrod Nadler blasted Trump after DHS cuffed one of his aides. YouTube/WNYC 'If this can happen in a Member of Congress's office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening.' The video, obtained by Gothamist, showed one agent aggressively restraining a teary-eyed female staffer, while another employee asked for a warrant and blocked a second officer from entering a private section of the congressional office, located in the same Varick Street building as federal immigration court. Advertisement 'I'm a federal officer, we're here checking on something,' the male agent said to the employee standing in his way, the footage showed. 'We have the right to check. You are harboring rioters in the office,' he argued in the heated back-and-forth that ended with the staffer granting him access to the back office. Nadler said that the 'deeply troubling' incident showed a clear violation of legal protocols.

YouTube/WNYC Federal Protective Service officers went to the congressman's office to conduct a security check after receiving reports that protesters were hiding inside, DHS told The Post in a statement. 'Based on earlier incidents in a nearby facility, FPS officers were concerned about the safety of the federal employees in the office and went to the location to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those present,' Homeland Security officials said. 4 Another teary-eyed staffer was cuffed during the heated confrontation. YouTube/WNYC Advertisement When they arrived, one individual – the woman who was briefly detained – was 'verbally confrontational and physically blocked access to the office' after the officers identified themselves and explained why there were there. 'The officers then detained the individual in the hallway for the purpose of completing the security check,' DHS said. 4 Nadler said the 'deeply troubling' incident violated legal protocols. Getty Images The aide was released after the fiery standoff — which reportedly erupted when a Nadler staffer invited two advocates monitoring ICE activity at the courthouse into the office. Nadler charged that the Trump administration is embracing totalitarian and authoritarian tactics. 'The Trump administration is trying to intimidate members of Congress,' Nadler told the New York Times Saturday. 'They're behaving like fascists. We have to fight them. We don't want to be a fascist country.' The White House did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment.
