Charlamagne tha God, whose real name is Lenard McKelvey, made the comments during an interview with Lara Trump, the president's daughter-in-love and co-chair of the Republican National Committee, in an episode of her Fox News show. "I think that traditional conservatives are going to take the Republican Party back," McKelvey told Lara Trump. "I think this Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back, I really do," The Breakfast Club cohost added. "I think they know this is the issue that has gotten the base riled up. The MAGA base isn't letting this issue go, and for the first time, they know they can probably take the party back and not piss off the MAGA base." Hours later in a Truth Social post, Trump called McKelvey a "sleazebag."

"He's a Low IQ individual, has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth, and knows nothing about me or what I have done."

Rubio on 2028 election: ‘I think JD Vance would be a great nominee'
Secretary of State Marco Rubio threw a wrench in speculation that he might be on a collision course with Vice President JD Vance in the 2028 presidential election, praising the veep. When asked about whether he has his 'sights set outside of the State Department,' Rubio said he hopes that Vance tosses his hat in the ring during the next presidential race. 'Well, I think JD Vance would be a great nominee. If he decides he wants to do that. I think he's doing a great job as Vice President. He's a close friend and I hope he intends to do it,' Rubio told Fox News' 'My View With Lara Trump.' The former 2016 presidential hopeful also downplayed the possibility of him jumping into the arena in 2028, noting that he is very attached to his current gig as America's top diplomat. Still, he didn't rule out a presidential run entirely. 4 Secretary of State Marco Rubio described Vice President JD Vance as a close friend. Fox News 4 Secretary of State Marco Rubio didn't rule out a presidential run. Fox News 'It's kind of early, you know, but being in the role that I'm in here at the Secretary of State, I really don't play in politics,' Rubio explained. 'There's actually rules against me being involved in domestic politics.' 'I want to do this job as long as the president allows me to do it and stay in that job, which would keep me here all the way through January of 2028,' he went on. 'You never know what the future holds. You never rule things out or anything.' The Secretary of State also described Vance as 'one of my closest friends in politics.' Rubio had been a top contender in last year's veepstakes, but Trump ultimately went with Vance. Since being tapped as Secretary of State, Trump has thrown tough assignments at Rubio, making him run United States Agency for International Development (USAID), effectively serve as a national security adviser, acting Archivist and more. 4 Vice President JD Vance is widely seen as the GOP frontrunner for the 2028 presidential race. REUTERS Vance has even joked about the multiple hats Rubio wears in the Trump administration. 'I think he could take on a bit more. If only there was a job opening for a devout Catholic…' Vance joked last month after Pope Francis died. The next presidential cycle will be the first time since 2016 that the path to the White House will be wide open race on both the Republican and Democratic sides. It will also likely be the first time since 2016 that Republicans will run without President Trump as the party's top standard bearer, posing a major test for the party 4 President Trump has loaded Marco Rubio up with a variety of jobs that usually aren't given to secretaries of state. AP Rubio also reflected with Trump's daughter-in-law about his experience running against the president in 2016. Trump had belittled him as 'Little Marco,' and the two had chafed bitterly during the campaign. 'I knew who he was, obviously, but I'd never met him,' Rubio recounted. 'We happened to be competing for the same thing. So in any competition, especially as you get down and it narrows down to three or four people, you know, punches are going to be thrown.' 'But then that ends and then we're on the same team because he's a Republican nominee and I'm a Republican.' Rubio hailed Trump's 'incredible instincts for human behavior' and took note of the contrast between the fast pace of his administration and the turtle speed of the Senate. 'It's incredibly rewarding. There is no point in being in this business and in this line of work if you can't get things done. So that makes it a lot of fun,' he said.

The world got to know Todd and Julie Chrisley when they welcomed viewers into their life and home on their hit reality show Chrisley Knows Best.

However, things took a turn for this reality television duo when in 2022, both Todd and Julie were sentenced to 12 and 7 years, respectively, in prison for fraud. While the world assumed it would be quite some time until the Chrisleys saw freedom, the duo got the shock of a lifetime when they learned they had been pardoned by President Trump. Reunited after years apart, the duo shared that seeing each other after all that time, it was as if no time had passed. Here, a look at the relationship and marriage of Todd and Julie Chrisley.

Todd was first captivated by Julie when he saw her at a friend's house. 'The moment she walked in the room, it's the only time before and since that anything had ever taken my breath, other than when I walked past a mirror,' the television personality joked to Us Weekly back in 2022.

President Trump reveals what he really wants his legacy to be after he leaves office
President Trump has revealed what he wants history books to remember him for after he leaves office. 'A good person, but a person that saved our country,' the president told his daughter-in-law during an interview on 'Fox News' 'My View With Lara Trump.' 'I really believed our country was going down for the fall.' Advertisement He added: 'I don't know if it ever could've come back. It was very close to the edge — and I really would like to be known as the man that saved our country.' Throughout his 2024 campaign and early days back in the White House, Trump has painted a bleak picture of the country's state of affairs before he returned to power. This includes his public concerns about the border crisis, inflation and foreign policy posture under the Biden administration — all of which have been key priorities during his second term. 3 President Trump wants to be remembered as a 'good person.' FOX News Advertisement 3 The president argued that his second term has been more successful than his first. REUTERS 'When people see the horror show that we had for four years,' Trump said, 'it was almost like they tried to kill our country — and the beautiful thing is, now we have the hottest country in the world.' Trump crowed that his first term was 'phenomenal' and mused that 'now, we're doing things that are even on a different level.' One reason he feels that way is because of the team he has in place this time around. Advertisement 'We have really good people this time and they get along with each other. They love each other, they love the country, and it's smoother,' the president said. Lara Trump's interview with her father-in-law dropped a day before the one-year anniversary of his brush with death after an assassin's bullet came within a quarter inch of taking his life during a rally in Butler, Pa. The president opened up about the chilling assassination attempt, which marked the closest a gunman came to killing a US president since 1981. 'Well, it was unforgettable,' he reflected. 'I didn't know exactly what was going on. I got whacked. There's no question about that. And fortunately, I got down quickly. People were screaming, and I got down quickly, fortunately, because I think they shot eight bullets.' Advertisement Despite the scare, Trump insisted that 'I have great confidence in these people.' 3 President Trump's interview with his daughter in law dropped just before the one year anniversary of the assassination attempt against him. FOX News 'They should have had somebody in the building [Thomas Matthew Crooks shot from], that was a mistake,' he said. 'They should have had communications with the local police, they weren't tied in, and they should have been tied in. So there were mistakes made … But I was satisfied in terms of the bigger plot, the larger plot.' 'And I have great confidence in these people. I know the people. And they're very talented, very capable. But they had a bad day. And I think they'll admit that. They had a rough day.'

How Julie Chrisley Reacted To Donald Trump's Pardon News
It has been nearly a month since Todd and Julie Chrisley regained their freedom, but they still can't believe their luck. The "Chrisley Knows Best" stars recently recounted their reactions to 's presidential pardon of their crimes after spending over two years behind bars. Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion and received a combined 19-year sentence. They regained their freedom on May 27, 2025. The Chrisley family recently sat down for their first joint interview since Todd and Julie's release from prison. Their conversation was captured in an upcoming episode of FOX News Channel's "My View With Lara Trump," with a teaser clip revealing the couple's reactions to Trump's pardon. Julie told the president's daughter-in-law that she heard about the pardon through her daughter, Savannah. She recalled bursting into tears after hearing the news, noting she nervously hung up the phone as she tried to wrap her head around the update. The matriarch wasn't the only one who had a hard time accepting the news, as her husband echoed similar sentiments. Todd believed the people in prison were teasing him about Trump's pardon until a correctional officer came to his cell to confirm the news, per TMZ. Although Trump granted Todd and Julie full pardons for their crimes, the couple did not give the president all the credit for their release. The Chrisley family's head stressed that God had directed people to advocate for him and Julie. Todd claimed he prayed every night to be reunited with his wife and children, and the Almighty granted his wish by leading Trump to pardon the couple's crimes. The Chrisleys are well-known for their faith and refused to be defeated during their journey to freedom. Last September, The Blast shared that Julie faced an emotional trial in her attempt to gain a 24-hour furlough amid her resentencing appeal. She had apologized tearfully in court for her wrongdoings, noting the most challenging part of her ordeal was leaving her children. Although Julie implored the court to return her to her young children, with her kids also sending letters to sway the judge, the legal umpire was unimpressed. The judge noted that she was concerned for Julie's children; however, their privileged lifestyle was another factor. The judge explained that Julie could not "get a pass from criminal conduct" because of her status as a mother and determined that her 7-year sentence was sufficient to pay for her involvement in bank fraud and tax evasion. The ruling broke the family's hearts, with one of Julie's attorneys, Jay Surgent, calling BS on the verdict. Surgent accused the judge of prejudice, claiming Julie's 24-hour furlough and resentencing appeal were denied because of her celebrity status. The lawyer argued that the judge used his client as a scapegoat to warn others instead of considering the fact that Julie was not a danger to society. Following Todd and Julie's release from prison in May, the couple, their daughter Savannah, and their legal team held a press conference in Nashville. The Blast covered the story, reporting that the family remained adamant about their innocence, especially Todd. The TV personality doubled down on being wrongfully convicted while claiming his months behind bars had changed his perspective about the criminal justice system. He expressed his will to fight against the injustices that federal inmates experienced nationwide. Additionally, Todd highlighted the poor conditions Black inmates were allegedly subjected to and vowed to expose the irregularities in the prison system. He also applauded Savannah's efforts in securing his and Julie's freedom and thanked those who stood by them. The Chrisleys were an emotional mess after Trump pardoned Todd and Julie, with The Blast sharing that Savannah did not fully accept reality. A day after she and her brother Grayson had picked up their parents from their respective holding facilities in Florida and Kentucky, the media personality told the press about her stunned reaction to the news. Savannah described the situation as a miracle, saying: "It's still just kind of ... it doesn't feel real. We were going to bed last night. We're like, 'Is this real?' And then, I wake up this morning and my mom's walking into my bedroom and I'm like, it's absolutely insane!" The "Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley" podcast host noted her family was still adjusting to the change and regaining their usual dynamic. However, their lost rhythm did not impact their love for each other, and Savannah believed her parents would open up about their feelings in time. Are the Chrisleys finally having their happily-ever-after?
