IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday took a few jabs at ABC’s The View and co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who had pledged to wear a MAGA hat for a full episode if Hamas released its remaining Israeli hostages. Speaking at the White House on Tuesday, the President inquired whether Griffin had followed through on her promise from last December, in which she stated that if Trump “gets the hostages out, I promise that I will wear a MAGA hat for one day on the show and say, ‘Thank you for doing it.'”

When asked by a reporter about the pledge, Trump responded, “Did she put the hat on?” The reporter noted that Griffin had not. Trump then sought clarification on who exactly the reporter was referencing, wanting to be sure it was Griffin who made the pledge.

After being reminded of Griffin’s identity, Trump remarked, “She used to work here… She gave me the most beautiful letter you have ever seen. ‘I was a great president. What a great job.’ Some of the letters have been quoted. This is Alyssa, who I never thought was very outstanding, and she didn’t have a big role here, either. And then we had January 6, and she left.”

Griffin served as White House director of strategic communications in 2020. Trump’s comments referenced a letter she wrote upon her departure, praising his administration’s accomplishments. However, Griffin later criticized Trump following the election protests on January 6 and became a co-host on The View in 2022.

Griffin did admit on Monday’s episode of The View that Trump and his team deserved credit for the release of hostages, saying, “Whether you like Trump or not, I think that he, Steve Witkoff, and I think Jared Kushner do deserve credit for this deal.”

Trump Warns Liz Cheney ‘Could Be in a Lot of Trouble’ After J6 Witness Tampering Report.

President Donald J. Trump has warned former Congresswoman Liz Cheney “could be in a lot of trouble” after a congressional report accused her of tampering with January 6 Committee witness Cassidy Hutchison. The Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight found that Cheney, then the Vice Chairwoman of the January 6 Committee, “tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.”

“Liz Cheney could be in a lot of trouble based on the evidence obtained by the subcommittee, which states that ‘numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, and these violations should be investigated by the FBI,'” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, offering thanks to subcommittee chairman Rep. Barry Loudermilk on for “a job well done.”

Specifically, the subcommittee report says Cheney’s “secret communication with a witness [was] improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512.”

Fellow Trump administration turncoat Alyssa Farah Griffin often acted as a go-between for Hutchinson and Cheney, with conservative commentators such as Jack Posobiec questioning whether Griffin helped Cheney to persuade Hutchinson to change her testimony. The subcommittee report suggests Hutchinson likely perjured herself while giving testimony to the January 6 Committee—but the FBI’s failure to turn over crucial documents has made this difficult to verify definitively.

Infamously, Hutchinson claimed President Trump “lunged” for the steering wheel of the presidential limousine after his driver refused to take him to the Capitol on January 6—a claim the driver categorically refuted in evidence to the January 6 Committee, which was suppressed until March this year.

Trump Turncoat Alyssa Farah Accused of J6 Witness Tampering.

Donald J. Trump administration turncoat Alyssa Farah Griffin is accused of serving as the key “go-between” for former Congresswoman Liz Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson, a crucial but unreliable witness for the corrupt January 6 Committee. A new congressional interim report accuses Cheney of unlawfully tampering with Hutchinson and recommends that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigate the matter.

The pressure being applied to Griffin on social media draws on texts first uncovered by the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight in October. They show that, in the months leading up to Hutchinson’s highly publicized testimony on January 6, Cheney engaged in direct and indirect communications with Hutchinson, facilitated by Griffin.

On April 26, 2022, Hutchinson met with Griffin at her Georgetown home, where she disclosed information pertinent to the January 6 Committee’s investigation. Griffin then agreed to liaise with Cheney. Text messages, believed to be from the encrypted app Signal, reveal that Cheney was aware that direct communication with Hutchinson, bypassing her attorney, was ethically dubious.

For nearly a month, Griffin served as an intermediary. She assisted in arranging Hutchinson’s third interview without informing her attorney. During this period, Griffin and Hutchinson also concocted a pretext for Hutchinson’s need for the third interview, which Cheney led on May 17, 2022. In this session, Hutchinson introduced several new, uncorroborated narratives aligned with the committee’s portrayal of Trump as culpable for the January 6 riot.

Post-interview, Hutchinson contacted Cheney directly, circumventing her legal counsel. Subsequently, Cheney arranged for Hutchinson to receive new legal counsel from Alston & Bird, who agreed to represent her pro bono.

The House Administration Oversight Subcommittee now believes “numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney” during this “secret communication with a witness” and that Hutchinson may have committed perjury at Cheney’s behest.

Even Anti-Trump Psychos Are Admitting The Genius of Trump’s Abortion Statement.

Figures in both the pro-Donald Trump and anti-Donald Trump camps agree his announcement on abortion was smart politics. On Monday, former President Donald Trump issued a video statement on abortion and access to fertility treatments. Trump said he supports the states being allowed to decide on abortion limits, saying many will have different rules, but “at the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people.” He also stressed that supporting in vitro fertilization (IVF) was an “important part” of supporting parents in their “quest for the ultimate joy in life.”

“It’s actually a savvy take,” said anti-Trump co-host of ABC’s The View, Alyssa Farah Griffin, in an interview with The Daily Beast. She continued: “He can claim the conservative mantle that he’s for states’ rights. And he avoids the political liability of calling for 15 weeks, which Republicans see as a betrayal on the life issue and Democrats will frame as a national abortion ban.”

“Now he’s repositioning to punt responsibility for the more extreme abortion decisions on Republican governors and off of himself,” Griffin added.

In addition to a begrudging acknowledgment from anti-Trumpers, the former President received backing from several key U.S. Senate allies. On Monday, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) told the press that he thought former President Trump‘s stance was “generally the right approach.” Hawley added, “We don’t have a national referendum system.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a one-time Trump-skeptic, echoed the former President’s abortion statement when he returned to Capitol Hill on Monday, stating, “it’s the voters who decide” not the government or a court “decreeing a rule for everyone and disenfranchising the voters.”
