BREAKING: White House DEFENDS Netanyahu Amid Corruption Trial |Trump Sees ‘Witch Hunt’ in Israel [Video]

BREAKING: White House DEFENDS Netanyahu Amid Corruption Trial |Trump Sees ‘Witch Hunt’ in Israel

The White House is drawing comparisons between Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial and Donald Trump's own legal troubles, calling both politically motivated “witch hunts.” Trump’s team has voiced strong empathy, with spokespersons saying he sees Netanyahu as a fellow target of a biased judicial system. The statement comes as both leaders battle mounting legal pressure, framing their court cases as attacks from political enemies. Trump, in recent posts, urged for Netanyahu’s trial to end—underscoring growing solidarity between the embattled leaders. #TrumpNews #NetanyahuTrial #CorruptionCharges #GazaWar #GlobalPolitics #TrumpSupport #BibiNetanyahu #JusticeSystem #PoliticalDrama #WitchHunt #TrumpIndictments #IsraelNews #MiddleEastNews #GazaCrisis #USIsraelRelations #LegalFight #NetanyahuSupport #TrumpStatements #BibiTrial #WhiteHouseNews #BreakingNews #IsraelNews #MiddleEastNews #GazaCrisis #USIsraelRelations #LegalFight #NetanyahuSupport #TrumpStatements #BibiTrial #WhiteHouseNews #BreakingNews Also Read Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Labels Netanyahu Case A ‘Witch Hunt,’ Blasts Israeli Prosecutors :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-labels-netanyahu-case-a-witch-hunt-blasts-israeli-prosecutors-7786131.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Karoline Leavitt SLAMS Zohran Mamdani As A Symbol Of “Radical Policy” Destabilizing American Values [Video]

Karoline Leavitt SLAMS Zohran Mamdani As A Symbol Of “Radical Policy” Destabilizing American Values

In a fiery political escalation, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took direct aim at Zohran Mamdani — the presumptive Democratic frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race — accusing him of embodying “radical” left-wing ideals. Labeling Democrats as “doubling down on craziness,” Leavitt claimed Mamdani's policies threaten the “very fabric of the country.” The attack reflects growing Republican unease with Mamdani’s rising influence, particularly after his viral interview clip showed him eating biryani with his hands while championing Third World-inspired politics. With his open support for Palestine, socialism, and progressive reform, Mamdani has drawn praise and vitriol in equal measure. As Trump’s White House attempts to frame the 2025 elections as a choice between order and chaos, Mamdani is emerging as a lightning rod in the cultural and political battlefield. The clash signals a deeper national confrontation brewing around race, identity, and radicalism. #ZohranMamdani #NYCMayoralRace #KarolineLeavitt #WhiteHouseAttack #RadicalLeft #DemocratsVsGOP #USPolitics #TrumpEra #MamdaniUnderFire #NYCPolitics #PalestineSupport #BiryaniPolitics #IdentityPolitics #PoliticalDrama #ProgressiveAgenda #RepublicanPushback #LeavittVsMamdani #MayoralElection2025 #CultureClash #LeftVsRight ~ED.194~HT.408~

White House Press Sec Leavitt SLAMS Democrats and Thom Tillis On Criticism of ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ [Video]

White House Press Sec Leavitt SLAMS Democrats and Thom Tillis On Criticism of ‘Big Beautiful Bill’

The White House is doubling down on President Donald Trump’s controversial "$3.3 trillion Big Beautiful Bill,” calling it the largest tax cut in American history. At a press briefing, the Press Secretary emphasized the bill’s core goal: delivering relief to everyday, working-class Americans. Framing it as a win for the middle class, the administration claims the package not only reduces taxes but also rebalances the economic scales. Critics, however, warn of soaring deficits, potential slashes to Medicaid, and threats to renewable energy incentives. As GOP lawmakers remain divided on spending cuts and debt ceiling increases, this bold push represents Trump’s defining legislative gamble before July 4. With the Senate preparing for a vote-a-rama, the future of this bill could reshape America's fiscal trajectory — or spark fresh political chaos. #TrumpBill #TaxCuts #BigBeautifulBill #MiddleClassRelief #USPolitics #GOPTaxPlan #TrumpEconomy #DebtDebate #SenateVote #USBudget #TrumpWhiteHouse #PressSecretary #TaxReform #WorkingClassAmerica #RepublicanSplit #DebtCeiling #HistoricLegislation #Trump2025 #FiscalPolicy #WhiteHouseNews ~ED.194~HT.408~

Trump Loyalist Russel Vought Takes Over DOGE, Vought To Lead Mass Layoffs With ‘Slash & Burn’ Agenda

Elon Musk has stepped down from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), handing the reins to conservative policy strategist Russell Vought. A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing. He aims to revive Trump’s Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR. Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGE’s early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash. #ElonMusk #RussellVought #DOGE #Trump #GovernmentEfficiency #Project2025 #ScheduleF #FederalCuts #ChristianNationalism #Tesla #SpaceX #MuskExit #VoughtAgenda #BudgetCuts #NPR #USAID #CFPB #MilitarySpending #GOP #PoliticalNews #WashingtonWatch #BureaucracyReform #TrumpAdmin #GovernmentOverhaul #WhiteHousePolicy #SpendingCuts #PolicyShift #BreakingNews #ConservativeAgenda #MuskVsVought Also Read Elon Musk Exits Trump Administration After Slamming ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on His Way Out :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-exits-trump-administration-after-slamming-big-beautiful-bill-on-his-way-out-4166709.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk Criticises Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill', A Fracture In Key Relationship :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-criticises-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-a-fracture-in-key-relationship-4166667.html?ref=DMDesc SpaceX Starship Explodes Mid-Flight During Third Test, Firm Cites 'Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/spacex-starship-explodes-mid-flight-during-third-test-firm-cites-rapid-unscheduled-disassembly-4165683.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.124~

Musk Vs Trump: What Next For Trump’s Doge After Elon Musk Quits Trump Team? DOGE in Trouble?

Elon Musk's departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) marks a significant shift in the Trump administration's cost-cutting agenda. Musk, who served as a special government employee, stepped down after reaching the 130-day service limit. His exit follows criticism of the administration's "One Big Beautiful Bill," which Musk argued would increase the federal deficit, countering DOGE's objectives. During his tenure, Musk aimed to reduce federal spending by $2 trillion but managed to cut approximately $150 billion. His efforts included auditing government credit cards, canceling leases on underutilized federal buildings, and restructuring agencies like USAID and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. #ElonMusk #Trump #TrumpDOGE #TrumpVsMusk #MuskResignation #MuskTrumpFallout #ElonMuskNews #TrumpAdministration #MuskQuits #MuskGovernmentExit #WhiteHouseLive #MuskPoliticalViews #TrumpNews #USPolitics #ElonMuskControversy #MuskSteppingDown #TrumpWhiteHouse #MuskPoliticalDecision #ElonMuskStatement #TrumpMuskDrama #TrumpAdministrationChanges ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.346~GR.122~
