Mikey Smith, the Deputy Political Editor (Sunday) at the Mirror and based in Westminster, reported on a tumultuous week for Donald Trump and his administration. The week kicked off with a controversial press conference where Trump, along with a TV personality and RFK Jr, shared misleading and risky medical advice. Subsequently, Trump delivered a contentious speech at the United Nations, leading to a series of unfortunate events, culminating in settling old scores.
In the realm of Trump’s politics, the Justice Department made headlines by indicting former FBI chief James Comey on questionable charges related to leaking information about an FBI investigation. The charges allege that Comey authorized an anonymous news source and then lied under oath about it. While the target of the investigation and the leaker remain undisclosed, the incident seems linked to the Hillary Clinton email server probe.
The situation intensifies as speculation arises about the identity of the alleged leaker, possibly involving Comey’s acquaintance, Daniel Richman. Despite Richman’s recent FBI interactions and subpoenas, the leaked memos seem disconnected from the current indictment. Amidst the chaos, the administration’s attempts to paint Comey as a traitor signify their struggle to substantiate the accusations.
In a separate development, Trump expressed interest in declassifying information concerning Amelia Earhart’s disappearance, sparking curiosity about the pioneering aviator’s fate. Additionally, Trump’s erratic behavior extended to social media, where he made controversial medical statements and addressed vaccination practices inaccurately.
