Crooks and Liars is reporting on several key developments, including a police response to demonstrators in Newark, a Supreme Court decision affecting a former Trump aide, and a federal appeals court blocking a ban on transgender servicemembers.
It said New Jersey State Police used rubber bullets, tear gas, flash-bang grenades, mounted officers and riot shields to push back demonstrators in Newark.
The outlet reported that the Supreme Court declined to hear a petition from Garrett Ziegler, a former Trump White House aide, ending his attempt to gain more protection under California's anti-SLAPP statute. Ziegler was previously involved in a plot to seize voting machines and a nonprofit focused on Biden family information.
Crooks and Liars also noted that a federal appeals court blocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's ban on transgender servicemembers, ruling the policy was unconstitutional due to animus.
In other news, the outlet said 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley confronted new executive producer Nick Bilton and another CBS executive in a "heated meeting" regarding recent mass firings at the newsmagazine.
Crooks and Liars reported that Section 224 of the Defense Act includes provisions to integrate the U.S. military with Israel's, laying groundwork for bilateral research, co-production of weapons, and joint ventures.
Regarding political figures, the outlet said convicted election denier Tina Peters sought a job in the Trump administration after her release from a Colorado prison. It also said Iran suspended nuclear negotiations with the United States, citing Israel's military assault on Lebanon, hours after President Donald Trump advised critics to "sit back and relax."
Crooks and Liars further reported that Trump Interior Secretary Doug Burgum dismissed calls to disclose donors to Trump's "Freedom 250" fund. Additionally, it noted that Minnesota Republicans held a moment of silence for Derek Chauvin, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton compared himself to Donald Trump, stating he is "scandal plagued" like the president.
