The man was truly a revolutionary. While other promotions were happy with their local audiences coming each week, McMahon reached out to TV stations and got them to air WWF. This was at a time when TV series werent even a thing. But after years of getting WWE to the top of the publics eye, McMahon retired earlier this year.

After the Hall of Fame induction ceremony of 2015, Renee Young interviewed the new inductee, Donald Trump.

I mean, nobody has done a job like he has. So, its a great honor.

Appearing on MSNBC on Sunday morning, former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen said he wouldn't put it past the former president to threaten to reveal secrets to foreign powers if the Department of Justice tries to indict him.

Speaking with fill-in host Michael Steele on "The Sunday Show," Cohen was asked why he thinks Trump hauled classified documents to Mar-a-Lago with him after he lost the 2020 presidential election.

"Based on everything you know about him, why do you think he wanted to keep those top secret documents at Mar-a-Lago," host Steele asked.

"He's gonna use it as a get out of jail free card," Cohen immediately shot back. "It's a way to extort America turn around to say if you put me in jail, if you go after me -- he'll even say his children -- I will have my loyal supporters who you do not know who has copies of information that may have been, and again this is my conjecture, that I would take those documents, I will release them to Iran, to China, to North Korea, to Russia.

"You want to take me down, I'll take the whole country down," he added.

"Remember, and I've said this with you 1000 times, Mike, Donald Trump doesn't care about this country," he continued. "He doesn't care about anyone or anything other than himself."

In the final days of his presidency, then-President Donald Trump approved Mark Meadows's plan to get a set of redactions approved on a file of FBI information so that it could be declassified and handed over to a sympathetic journalist, per The New York Times.

According to The Times, former chief of staff Mark Meadows had Trump's blessing to seek out the declassification of the binder containing unreleased information about the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

Crossfire Hurricane, the code name for the FBI investigation into the purported links between Russian officials and Trump associates, became the Mueller probe in 2017.

The binder detailed the FBI's methods in the investigation. It contained a series of text messages between two former FBI officials, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, which had been disparaging about Trump, per The Times. The hundreds of messages sent in the lead-up to the 2016 election included a description of Trump as an "idiot."

Meadows reportedly dismissed concerns that declassifying the binder could compromise the FBI, saying that Trump wanted the messages to go public, per The Times.

Trump did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

And only three days before the end of his presidency, a set of redactions was agreed upon, and Trump declassified the rest of the binder, the newspaper said.

Meadows intended to hand over the newly declassified binder to a conservative journalist, per people familiar with the plan, The Times reported. It is not immediately clear who the journalist was or which outlet they worked for.

Meadows did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

The plan to hand over the binder was scrapped after Justice Department officials warned Meadows that disseminating the text messages between Strzok and Page could violate privacy laws and lead to lawsuits, per The Times.

The revelation comes from a deep dive in The New York Times about how Trump and his associates handled documents in the final days of his time at the White House.

Trump's document handling is in focus at the moment following the FBI's Mar-a-Lago raidand amid the Justice Department's investigation into whether he broke any laws.

Trump lashed out at McConnell after he said the GOP might struggle to flip the Senate.

Trump said McConnell was a "broken down hack politician" who should support GOP Senate hopefuls.

The former president said McConnell should spend less time "helping his crazy wife and family get rich on China."

Former President Donald Trump has launched a furious attack on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in a dispute over the GOP Senate mid-term campaign.

Trump said the senior senator from Kentucky should spend more time and money helping Republican Senate candidates get elected and "less time helping his crazy wife and family get rich on China."

"Why do Republicans Senators allow a broken down hack politician, Mitch McConnell, to openly disparage hard working Republican candidates for the United States Senate," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

McConnell has drawn ire from Trump after he said that Republicans will face a tough task in flipping the Senate majority, citing "candidate quality."

Recent polling has shown that GOP nominees in the nation's most closely contested states are struggling to keep up.

This includes Trump-backed candidates Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania, JD Vance in Ohio, and Herschel Walker in Georgia.

Trump and McConnell, who were once firm allies, have been publicly feuding since Trump's 2020 election loss.

McConnell angered Trump after appearing to accept Joe Biden's victoryand condemning the former president for being "practically and morally responsible" for the January 6 Capitol insurrection.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that McConnell's comments about GOP Senate candidates were "an affront to honor and to leadership."

The former president also made a disparaging comment about McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao, who served as Trump's Transportation Secretary and was one of the first Cabinet officials to resign after the Capitol riot. She is reported to have spoken to the House January 6 panel earlier this month.

Trump has previously drawn attention to Chao's business ties to China.

Story continues

Chao's family owns a shipping company that transports material to and from China, and a government watchdog has previously alleged that she used her office's staff and resources to support the business.

Despite their fraught relationship, McConnell has said he would still support Trump as the party's 2024 nominee.

Former President Donald Trump will appear at a Sept. 3 rally in Wilkes-Barre to boost Republican candidates Mehmet Oz and state Sen. Doug Mastriano in their key midterm election campaigns.

The rally at Mohegan Sun Arena comes a little more than two months before Election Day in a race where both Oz, the GOPs Senate nominee, and Mastriano, the partys gubernatorial nominee, trail their Democratic rivals in polling and fund-raising.

Trumps Save America PAC announced the rally for the entire Pennsylvania Trump Ticket, on Friday. GOP congressional hopeful Jim Bognet, who is running in a rematch against U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, is also expected to attend.

Trump announced the rally in an email from his Save America PAC while Mastriano was at an event with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in Pittsburgh.

While neither man has announced their candidacy, DeSantis is widely considered a potential 2024 GOP presidential rival to Trump.

The rally announcement comes amid reports of Republicans, including Trump, questioning the strength of some of the partys candidates running this year, and as some GOP candidates have struggled to match their Democratic opponents in fund-raising.

Oz, who trails Lt. Gov. John Fetterman by five to 10 points in the most recent polls, also lags Fetterman in fund-raising. Fetterman raised about $11 million last quarter, while Oz brought in just $3.8 million, including $2 million he gave his campaign.

Political action committees and national groups on both sides have said they will funnel millions into the Senate race in the state.

Fetterman has largely campaigned against Oz on social media, save for a large rally in Erie earlier this month. Oz has accused Fetterman of hiding from voters and has repeatedly pressured Fetterman to respond to his challenge of five debates, the earliest of which would be in early September.

Speeches at the Trump rally will begin at 4 p.m., with the former president slated to give remarks at 7 p.m.

Wilkes-Barre is in Luzerne County, which swung from voting for Democrat Barack Obama in 2012 to backing Trump in the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton. Luzerne voted narrowly for Trump again in 2020. The Northeastern Pennsylvania region is considered one of the most critical parts of the swing state.

President Joe Biden, who has roots in Scranton not far from Wilkes-Barre, will visit Wilkes-Barre on Aug. 30, a rescheduled trip after he had to cancel a visit in July when he was diagnosed with COVID-19. The president is expected to give remarks at Wilkes University about reducing gun crime.
