Trump news – live: Former president heads to Pennsylvania for first rally since FBI raid

Steve Bannon has warned Joe Biden that the extremist MAGA movement he condemned in a headline address Thursday night was a “danger” to his government.

“The MAGA forces are kicking your ass the illegitimate Biden regime,” the former senior White House adviser said in a post on social media platform Getr.

“The ‘danger’ is to the regime.”

CNN White House correspondent John Harwood announced he is leaving the news channel in an abrupt departure that comes amid several changes taking place at the channel as he plans to adopt a politically neutral voice.

Mr Harwood announced his resignation on Twitter on Friday, adding he would “figure out what’s next”.

The resignation comes a day after the reporter praised President Joe Biden’s speech and called Donald Trump a “dishonest demagogue” on air.

“The central point [Biden] made in this political speech about a threat to democracy is true,” Harwood told CNN after the speech. “Now that’s something that’s not easy to say as journalists.”

“We have been led to believe that there are two different political parties with different views, and we do not take sides in honest disagreements between them. But that’s not what we’re talking about. These are not honest disagreements.

“The Republican Party right now is run by a dishonest demagogue.”

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin blasted her Republican opponent Nick Begich III for costing Republicans the special election and called on him to drop out of the race.

“Nick Begich is now a three-time loser,” Ms Palin said in a statement on Thursday. “His ego-driven attendance after repeatedly failing to get a majority of the Republican vote, even though I’ve consistently won the vote, just cost the Republicans a seat in Congress.”

Former President Donald Trump heads to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania today for his first rally of the midterm election season and since the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago residence.

The former president will campaign for Republican Doug Mastriano, who trails his Democratic opponent poorly in fundraising, lags in the polls and has yet to go on the air with ads.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is also scheduled to be in the state over Labor Day weekend as Pennsylvania becomes a political battleground.

Trump’s rally comes after a Florida court released a full list of what was found at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago estate during an FBI search last month.

FBI agents found 90 empty folders that once held extremely sensitive documents among 27 boxes removed from former President Donald Trump’s home during a court-authorized search on Aug. 8, according to an unsealed copy of a detailed inventory presented to a federal judge.

Unsealed inventory of what the FBI found in Donald Trump’s office and storage area at his Mar-a-Lago residence reveals a surprising number of government documents that were taken from the House Blanca at the end of his presidency.

According to the August 8 search inventory, there were:

Donald Trump baselessly accused Joe Biden of threatening the US with “military force” and having “late-stage dementia” after the president called him and his followers “MAGA Republicans” for threatening democracy in a speech of Philadelphia, the birthplace of the nation.

Steve Bannon’s request for a new trial in his contempt of Congress case has been denied by a federal judge and he now faces prison when he is sentenced next month.
