It's debate night in Milwaukee on Wednesday night. The big hitters of the Republican Party will all be there, fighting it out in the first chance to be on the same stage together. That is, all bar one, notable frontrunner; former President Donald Trump. Emily and Jon will be back in your feeds on Thursday morning digesting the overnight debate. See you then!
Donald Trump. Charged with racketeering in Georgia after allegedly attempting to meddle with election results - and he's now got 91 counts against his name... and counting. Will this change anything? And what about the whataboutery with Hunter Biden and Joe Biden? We speak to Republican strategist who worked in George W. Bush's White House, Ron Christie, Adam Klasfeld, legal correspondent who's followed all 91 charges closely, and Christopher Steele, the British spy who triggered the snowball th...
Ever wondered what Trump's personal pastor has to say about all the law-breaking that the 45th President allegedly has engaged in? Jon speaks to him on today's episode. We mull that, and an impending fourth indictment, on The News Agents USA. And we're also joined by Biden's former strategist - who explains what the President has to do to thwart the oxygen-guzzler and limelight-stealer that is Donald J. Trump. Editor: Gabriel Radus Social Media Editor: Georgia Foxwell Planning Producer: Alex Bar...
US prosecutors have charged Donald Trump for attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 Election. It’s the second federal indictment brought against the former president in as many months. We knew this was on the way. So why is he still the leading Republican to be president? And why doesn’t the party care ? On this episode of The News Agents USA, two former Republican congressmen - one of whom challenged Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election - go head to head on whether Trump is the ...
Why is Ron DeSantis losing ground in the polls to an unknown? Why is the new Barbie film driving American right-wingers mad? And why did a young American soldier dash across the border to seek refuge... in North Korea? Editor: Gabriel Radus Social Editor: Georgia Foxwell Video Producer: Will Gibson-Smith The News Agents is a Global Player Original and a Persephonica Production.
As we settled into News Agents USA HQ, the breaking news that Trump may be set to face trial for a third time, and criminal proceedings for a second time, wafted in. We talk to the Washington Post's Olivier Knox about what this means for Trump, his rivals and the ever-quickening race to be the next incumbent of the White House. Joe Manchin, the highly influential Democrat Senator of West Virginia, seems to be flirting with an independent run for the White House, forging a ticket with a former Re...
Joe Biden meets Rishi Sunak in London before flying out to Vilnius to a NATO summit in which he's set to snub the UK government's attempts to have Ben Wallace, Defence Secretary, become the next Secretary General of NATO. The famous 'special relationship' doesn't feel so special any more. Former US Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker joins Emily and Jon in News Agents USA HQ. This, all while US news outlets report that the President is a lot less mild-mannered in private than he appears in public. We...
Joe Biden - that's President Joe Biden - has said the Supreme Court is "not normal". He's referring to the recent judgements the 9 justices have made - overturning Roe v Wade last year, overruling affirmative action policies at two US universities, refusing to allow the government to cancel student debt, and wading into LGBTQ+ issues on a spurious basis of complaints that don't even exist. Is this overreach? Or is this the logical consequence of the polarisation of America? And who polices the S...
On Tuesday morning, CNN obtained leaked audio of Donald Trump showing classified documents to people who definitely shouldn't be seeing classified documents. He's still denying he didn't have classified documents... but we now have him admitting to it on tape. Surely he can't fudge his way out of this one.... Meanwhile the Republicans have been wooing evangelicals and Robert Kennedy Junior is offering a bizarre counter factual to the Biden democratic nomination. On today's episode of The News Ag...
Breaking news - that has left Republicans speechless for all the wrong reasons. Biden's son Hunter pleads guilty to three federal charges. But they are all miniscule. None of the ones the MAGA (Make America Great Again) gang really care about anyway. Meanwhile, Trump appears on Fox News to explain that he was too busy sorting out his golf shirts from his newspaper clippings to hand back hundreds of boxes of classified highly confidential documents... but does he incriminate himself in the proces...
For a historical indictment it was an ignominious entry: Donald Trump entered the Miami courthouse via a freight lift from an underground garage. For once, the Reality TV president ducked the cameras as he appeared on 37 charges of mishandling classified documents and espionage. This is America 2023. The question is how big a role will he play in America 2024- and the next presidential election.
