First was former FBI Director James Comey. But President Donald Trump's other political opponents are next on the list. Trump told reporters Friday that he expects more charges against people who have investigated or criticized him. The indictment led to a sharp political divide between Democrats calling the case politically motivated and Republicans saying justice would prevail. See who else could be on Trump's list. |
Why was Comey indicted? Comey was indicted Thursday for allegedly lying to Congress and obstructing lawmakers, after Trump publicly urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue charges. But even conservative legal experts questioned whether the charges will stick. What to know about the charges. | Happier times: President Donald Trump shakes hands with FBI Director James Comey at the White House in 2017 in Washington, DC. Pool/Getty Images |
Trump (again) threatens tariffs on foreign-made films |
President Donald Trump on Monday repeated his threat to impose 100% tariffs on movies made outside the United States – a move that experts have questioned because of uncertainties about which movies would be targeted and how fees would be collected. Movie industry experts questioned in May, after Trump first threatened tariffs on movies made abroad, how the fees would be levied, such as on production costs or ticket sales. Trump's tariff authority has been challenged in court. |
Government shutdown looms |
The clock is ticking for lawmakers to keep the federal government funded. President Donald Trump on Monday afternoon will be meeting with congressional leaders from both parties at the White House, less than 48 hours before a deadline to avoid a government shutdown. The federal government is set to run out of money at midnight on Wednesday. |
Who will meet with Trump? House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will be meeting with the president. Trump last week abruptly canceled a meeting with the two Democratic leaders. What to know about the meeting. |
