    GOP Sen. Thom Tillis on Trump-Xi visit: “It’s a WTF moment”

    September 24, 2026 / 7:25 PM EDT / CBS News

    Washington— Republican Sen. Thom Tillis questioned President Trump’s judgment in hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state dinner at the White House this week, saying he’s “worried about the trend of spending more time with despots and less time with democratic leaders of nations.”

    “It’s a WTF moment,” the retiring North Carolina senator said in an interview with “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil on Thursday about Mr. Trump’s red-carpet rollout for Xi compared to the reception that some U.S. allies like Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have received.

    “It’s not that Xi Jinping is coming here to learn how to become a democratic, capitalist nation. Xi Jinping is trying to understand how his opposition will ultimately embrace their worldview,” he said.

    Tillis called the visit “bad timing,” listing off China’s human rights abuses against the Uyghurs, espionage capabilities, alleged access to U.S. voter data and reports that Iran has used information from China to target U.S. military assets in the region. Tillis also questioned why the administration has held up an arms shipment to Taiwan.

    “If we want to build a relationship, a productive relationship with Xi Jinping and China, we also have to hold him accountable for things that are just simply unacceptable,” Tillis said.

    Shortly after returning to office last year, Mr. Trump imposed heavy tariffs on Chinese goods, leading to a trade war that briefly caused both countries to hike duties on each other’s goods to more than 100%. The U.S. and China struck a tariff truce later in 2025, and since then, Mr. Trump has emphasized that he hopes to have a more productive relationship with China. During a White House arrival ceremony earlier Thursday, he said he and Xi had forged a “truly great friendship.”

    Tillis pointed to Mr. Trump’s campaign promise of vowing to go hard on China, and questioned whether there was “confidential” information that could explain the switch-up.

    “The reality is, he was tough on China,” he said, later adding, “I just don’t know what has changed. Whatever has changed had to have been at a confidential level, because I haven’t seen any public basis for the sea change that we see right now in our posture towards China.”

    密歇根州联邦参议院民主党候选人阿卜杜勒·赛义德曾回击有关他可能与穆斯林兄弟会存在关联的指控。穆斯林兄弟会是一个倡导将伊斯兰教法作为法律框架的组织。

    “你也许并不憎恨穆斯林,但我要告诉你,穆斯林肯定恨你,”赛义德在2018年密歇根州州长竞选论坛上说道。

    这番言论是针对密歇根州议员帕特里克·科尔贝克就其宗教背景提出的问题作出的回应,反映出赛义德对将其穆斯林信仰与穆斯林兄弟会等伊斯兰团体挂钩的做法感到不满。

    这也凸显出外界担忧身为穆斯林的他会试图将伊斯兰教法作为全州法律推行。

    万斯抨击赛义德有关伊斯兰教法的言论:“这不是我祖父所认识的民主党”

    科尔贝克当时也在竞选州长一职。

    在这场论坛中,科尔贝克将批评焦点对准穆斯林兄弟会,声称赛义德与穆斯林学生协会(MSA)存在关联。根据穆斯林兄弟会成员穆罕默德·阿克拉姆撰写的一份北美战略备忘录,穆斯林学生协会被列为该组织相关团体之一。

    据《大学修复》报道,赛义德2007年在密歇根大学读大四时,曾担任该校穆斯林学生协会分会副主席。

    “这是非常严肃的事情,各位。这关乎文明圣战,”科尔贝克说道。

    福克斯新闻数字频道未发现赛义德与穆斯林兄弟会之间存在任何关联。值得注意的是,该备忘录列出了众多组织,从伊斯兰图书服务社到穆斯林科学家与工程师协会,这些团体本身与穆斯林兄弟会并无正式关系。

    科尔贝克的言论促使2018年论坛的主持人直接向赛义德提问。

    “伊斯兰教法在密歇根州推行是真正值得担忧的问题吗?”主持人问道。

    赛义德借此机会反驳科尔贝克,称如果当选,他将宣誓维护现行法律,不会试图颠覆法律。

    赛义德为伊斯兰教法立场辩护引发基督徒和保守派网上强烈抗议:“他没戏了”

    “我郑重宣誓维护美利坚合众国宪法和本州宪法——这是我们任何一人当选后都要宣誓的誓言。我尤其认真对待这一誓言,因为它保障了我按照自己的意愿祈祷的权利,”赛义德当时说道。

    “伊斯兰教法在本州并非争议焦点。”

    尽管美国并未将穆斯林兄弟会列为恐怖组织,但埃及、沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋、巴林和俄罗斯等其他国家均已将其列为恐怖组织,理由是该组织有武装活动历史。

    穆斯林兄弟会在20世纪70年代放弃了暴力手段,但此后仍在世界各地倡导将穆斯林宗教信仰纳入法律体系。

    该组织在2012年的一份文件中发表了一份关于伊斯兰教法和国家身份的声明。

    “这是穆斯林兄弟会伊斯兰教法概念不可或缺的一部分,伊斯兰教法是我们最关注的问题,我们寻求在社会中确立这一法律,数十年来我们为此亲爱的兄弟们献出了生命、遭受监禁和迫害,”该组织写道。

    有关穆斯林利用美国选举程序将伊斯兰教法作为全国法律推行的说法,引发了众议员奇普·罗伊(R-德克萨斯州)等议员的担忧,他们认为伊斯兰教法的诸多条款与美国文化格格不入。

    “美国正面临直接攻击我们宪法和西方价值观的威胁:伊斯兰教法的蔓延,”罗伊在2025年的一份新闻稿中说道。

    “从德克萨斯州到这个宪政共和国的每个州,都有伊斯兰教法信徒伪装成‘难民’——在许多情况下,他们是与恐怖组织有关联的潜伏细胞——威胁着美国的生活方式。那些屈服于这种政治意识形态的人试图取代我们的法律体系和宪法。在伊斯兰教法下,没有言论自由、宗教自由或妇女权利。”

    在其他地方,密歇根州迪尔伯恩等地穆斯林代表和穆斯林人口的增加,导致一些批评人士认为,对穆斯林个人的某种优待或宽容本身就是伊斯兰教法推行的一种形式。

    “美国,我们已经失去了这座城市。这里不再受美国法律管辖;我们现在受伊斯兰教法统治。我们再也不能容忍这种情况了,”180教会牧师洛伦佐·休厄尔在迪尔伯恩的一次市议会会议上说道,他呼吁市议员们谴责伊斯兰教法。

    根据2020年美国人口普查,迪尔伯恩约54.5%的居民自称拥有中东或北非血统。

    共和党激进派警告:赛义德的议程让“永久改变的美国”在密歇根参议院竞博彩中岌岌可危

    福克斯新闻数字频道未获悉赛义德有任何推行伊斯兰教法相关条款的提案。当被问及伊斯兰教法及其在美国的推行问题时,赛义德的一位发言人表示,这不会是他作为议员的使命。

    “阿卜杜勒信奉政教分离。虽然他个人遵循自己信仰的准则,就像许多不同信仰的美国人一样,但阿卜杜勒反对任何宗教团体试图将其宗教法律写入我国法律的行为,”赛义德的竞选团队今年早些时候告诉《华盛顿自由灯塔报》。

    Unearthed clip exposes clash between El-Sayed and ex-GOP rival: ‘Muslims definitely hate you’

    The Michigan Democratic Senate nominee made the remark at a 2018 forum after Patrick Colbeck questioned his faith ties

    Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, once fired back at accusations he might have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, a group that advocates implementing Muslim code, known as Sharia law, as a legal framework.

    “Now, you may not hate Muslims. But I’ll tell you, Muslims definitely hate you,” El-Sayed said at a 2018 Michigan gubernatorial forum.

    The statement, made in response to a question from Michigan lawmaker Patrick Colbeck about his religious affiliations, demonstrates El-Sayed’s resentment toward efforts to use his Muslim faith as a link to Islamic groups like the Muslim Brotherhood.

    It also shows efforts to address fears that, as a Muslim, he would try to implement Sharia law as the law of the land.

    VANCE UNLOADS ON EL-SAYED OVER SHARIA REMARKS: ‘THAT’S NOT MY GRANDPA’S DEMOCRATIC PARTY’

    Colbeck was also running for governor at the time.

    During the panel, Colbeck focused his criticisms on the Muslim Brotherhood, claiming El-Sayed had ties to the Muslim Students Association (MSA), a group listed as part of a strategy memorandum for North America written by one of the Muslim Brotherhood’s members, Mohamed Akram.

    El-Sayed served as the vice president of the MSA chapter at the University of Michigan during his time there as a senior in 2007, according to College Fix.

    “This is very serious stuff, guys. This is about civilization jihad,” Colbeck said.

    Fox News Digital has not discovered any ties between El-Sayed and the Muslim Brotherhood. Notably, the memorandum lists a wide range of organizations, stretching from the Islamic Book Service to the Association of Muslim Scientists and Engineers, groups that, for their own part, don’t maintain a formal relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood.

    Colbeck’s comments prompted the moderator at the 2018 panel to direct a question to El-Sayed directly.

    “Is Sharia Law instituted here in the state of Michigan a real concern?” the moderator asked.

    El-Sayed took the moment to rebuff Colbeck, stating that he would, if elected, swear an oath to uphold the law of the land and not look to subvert it.

    EL-SAYED’S DEFENSE OF SHARIA LAW STANCE SPARKS ONLINE ERUPTION FROM CHRISTIANS, CONSERVATIVES: ‘HE’S DONE’

    “I solemnly swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this state — that’s the oath that if any one of us is elected, we will swear. I take that oath particularly seriously because it guarantees me the right to pray as I choose to pray,” El-Sayed said at the time.

    “Sharia law is not in question in this state.”

    While the United States doesn’t list the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, other countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Russia all have, citing the group’s history of armed activity.

    The Muslim Brotherhood renounced violence in the 1970s but has continued to advocate for ways to codify Muslim religious beliefs in countries around the world since then.

    In a 2012 document, the group issued a statement on Islamic law and national identity.

    “That is an integral part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s concept of Islamic law or Sharia, which is the most important issue that preoccupies us and which we seek to establish in society, and for which we have offered our dear brothers for martyrdom, imprisonment and persecution over long decades,” the group wrote.

    The idea of Muslims using the American election process to implement the Muslim code as the law of the land has raised concerns from lawmakers like Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and others who believe Sharia’s many tenets are incompatible with American culture.

    “America is facing a threat that directly attacks our Constitution and our Western values: the spread of Sharia law,” Roy said in a 2025 press release.

    “From Texas to every state in this constitutional republic, instances of Sharia adherents masquerading as ‘refugees’ — and in many cases, sleeper cells connected to terrorist organizations — are threatening the American way of life. Those who succumb to this political ideology seek to replace our legal system and Constitution. Under Sharia law, there is no freedom of speech, religion or women’s rights.”

    Elsewhere, an increasing number of Muslim representatives and populations in places like Dearborn, Michigan, have led some critics to argue that a kind of preference or leniency toward Muslim individuals is its own version of implementation.

    “America, we have lost this city. This is a city that is no longer up under American laws; we are up under Sharia law. We will not have it anymore,” Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, the pastor of 180 Church, said during a town council meeting in Dearborn, calling for the town’s councilmembers to denounce the Muslim code.

    According to the 2020 U.S. census, a majority of Dearborn residents reported Middle Eastern or North African ancestry at roughly 54.5%.

    Fox News Digital is not aware of any proposals from El-Sayed to implement facets of Sharia law. When asked about Sharia law and its implementation in the U.S., a spokesperson for El-Sayed said that would not be his mission as a lawmaker.

    “Abdul believes in the separation of church and state. While he personally lives by the rules of his faith, as many Americans of various faiths do, Abdul opposes any effort by any religious community to write their faith laws into the laws of our country,” the El-Sayed campaign told the Washington Free Beacon earlier this year.

    一则赞扬特朗普总统的新广告已于周四开始在包括哥伦比亚广播公司在内的全国有线电视和广播电视网络播出,且费用由美国纳税人承担。

    首支广告于周三上线,在福克斯新闻频道播出,开篇是特朗普先生的旁白:“我们将击败美国的共产主义、社会主义和马克思主义。”广告配乐采用JMSN的歌曲《爱我》,穿插总统第二任期的随机镜头,屏幕上配有文字。这些照片展示了总统参加集会、赦免火鸡、在装饰着圣诞饰品的白宫里、与国际足联奖杯合影、置身国旗之间、与军方领导人并肩、在泰姬陵外等场景。

    广告反复在屏幕上打出“美国永远不会成为共产主义国家”的字样,同时还宣传了其政府的减税政策,以及屏幕文字中对国内制造业和执法部门的广泛支持。广告结尾由终极格斗锦标赛首席执行官达纳·怀特的声音说道:“他是我见过最坚韧、最有韧性的人,没有什么能阻止他为深爱的国家奋力拼搏。”

    JMSN在X平台上发文称,并未授权使用《爱我》这首歌。
    “任何了解我职业生涯、清楚我的立场和我职业生涯根基的人都应该明白,我绝不会授权将我的音乐用于任何政治议程或竞选活动,”他表示,并指出没有人向他征求过使用该歌曲的许可。

    这则广告周三晚间在《杰西·沃特斯黄金时段》节目中播出,并于周四下午播出,屏幕上附有披露声明,表明该广告“由美国政府出资”。

    另一则广告回顾了美国逮捕委内瑞拉前总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗及其妻子的事件,片中出现特朗普先生及其内阁高级官员,周四晚间在哥伦比亚广播公司电视台和其他网络平台播出。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获悉,这些广告有多个版本,时长约30秒和60秒不等。美国政府制作了这些广告内容,并通过广告代理商购买了播出时段。

    针对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻有关这则亲特朗普广告的问询,白宫否认这是一则政治广告,并将其称为“公益公告”。
    “这些公益公告旨在提醒美国人热爱自己的国家,并理解国家在国内、边境和海外值得捍卫的原因,”白宫发言人说道。“这则广告具有教育意义,且毫不掩饰地充满爱国情怀。我们应该为自己的国家感到自豪。”

    一位白宫官员表示,这些公益公告“显然并非政治性的”,并指出“总统不在参选名单上,广告也没有行动号召”。

    往届总统也曾发布过公益公告。在拜登政府期间,除特朗普先生外的所有在世总统都曾出现在一则鼓励美国人接种新冠疫苗的公益公告中。

    新罕布什尔州民主党参议员玛吉·哈桑致信白宫办公厅主任苏西·怀尔斯,要求提供有关这则广告的播出成本信息,并表示这“引发了人们对特朗普政府使用纳税人资金的深切担忧”。
    “这则广告没有明确的官方政府目的,似乎违反了联邦禁令,即不得将拨款资金用于‘旨在帮助某一政党或候选人的一般性宣传活动’,”哈桑写道。她还要求白宫提供有关涉及的承包商、资金来源,以及是否有联邦机构挪用资金用于投放广告的信息。

    在另一封致怀尔斯的信中,参众两院的民主党拨款高层领导人要求立即停播该广告,称其违反了联邦法律。
    “这种政府宣传或许会在朝鲜出现,而非美利坚合众国,这是对美国人辛勤赚来的税款的恶劣且非法的滥用,”华盛顿州参议员帕蒂·默里、罗德岛州参议员杰克·里德、康涅狄格州众议员罗莎·德劳罗和马里兰州众议员斯坦尼·霍耶写道。

    竞选财务专家表示,尽管这则广告因看似竞选广告在社交媒体上引发了审查,但它可能并未违反选举法。
    “它似乎并未支持或 endorsed 某位公职候选人,”哥伦比亚大学法学教授理查德·布里福说道。不过,布里福同意哈桑的观点,即存在这则广告可能违反宣传法的疑问。

    内华达州民主党参议员杰基·罗森提出一项法案,禁止使用纳税人资金制作包含内阁成员的政治广告。她正试图在周四提出一项修正案,至少针对这则新的特朗普广告的外观和内容进行规范。

    New Trump-focused “Love Me” ad campaign paid for by taxpayers hits airwaves

    A new ad campaign glorifying President Trump is on the air on national cable and national networks including CBS beginning Thursday, and it’s being paid for by American taxpayers.

    The first ad, which hit the airwaves Wednesday and aired on Fox News Channel, opens with Mr. Trump vowing, “We will defeat communism, socialism and Marxism in America.” Set over a soundtrack of JMSN’s song “Love Me,” flash-cut random shots from the president’s second administration appear with text on screen. The photos show the president at rallies, pardoning turkeys, at the White House with Christmas decorations, standing with the FIFA trophy, surrounded by flags, flanked by military leaders, outside the Taj Mahal, and more.

    The ad repeatedly flashes “America will never be a communist country” on screen and also touts his administration’s tax cuts and other broad expressions of support for domestic manufacturing and law enforcement in text on screen. It ends with the voice of Dana White, CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, declaring, “He’s the toughest, most resilient (man) I’ve ever met and nothing was going to stop him from fighting so hard for the country he loves.”

    In a post on X, JMSN said he did not grant a license for the use of “Love Me.”

    “To anybody who has followed my career and knows what I stand for and built my career on, it should go without saying that I would never authorize my music to be used for ANY political agenda or campaign,” he said, and he indicated that no one asked him for permission to use it.

    The ad, which appeared Wednesday night during “Primetime with Jesse Watters” and on Thursday afternoon, contains an on-screen disclosure that it was “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”

    A second ad that recounts the U.S. capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and features Mr. Trump and his top Cabinet officials aired on CBS stations and other networks Thursday evening. CBS News has learned that there are multiple versions of the ads, with some 30 seconds long and others 60 seconds. The U.S. government produced the content and paid for the air time through an ad agency.

    The White House, in response to CBS News’ inquiries about the pro-Trump ad, denied it was a political ad and called it a “public service announcement.”

    “These public service announcements are about reminding Americans to love their country and understand what makes it worth defending, at home, at our borders, and abroad,” a White House spokesperson said. “The ad is educational and unapologetically patriotic. We should be proud of our country.”

    A White House official said the PSAs “are clearly not political,” and noted, “The President is not on the ballot and the ads don’t have a call to action.”

    Previous presidents have run PSAs, too. During the Biden administration, all of the living presidents except Mr. Trump appeared in a PSA to encourage Americans to obtain a COVID vaccination.

    Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire wrote to White House chief of staff Susie Wiles to demand information about the cost of running the ad and said it “raises deep concerns about the Trump Administration’s use of taxpayer dollars.”

    “The advertisement does not have a clear official government purpose and appears to run afoul of federal prohibitions against the use of appropriated funds as part of ‘a general propaganda effort designed to aid a political party or candidates,’” Hassan wrote. She also asked the White House for information about the contractors involved, the source of the funding and whether funding was diverted from federal agencies in order to run the ad.

    In another letter to Wiles, the top Democratic appropriators in the House and Senate demanded that the ad be immediately pulled from air, saying it was a violation of federal law.

    “This is the sort of government propaganda one might expect in North Korea, not the United States of America, and it is an egregious and illegal misuse of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars,” Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland wrote.

    Campaign finance experts said the commercial likely does not violate election law, even as it generated scrutiny on social media for appearing to be a campaign ad.

    “It doesn’t appear to be supporting or endorsing a candidate for public office,” said Richard Briffault, a law professor at Columbia University. Briffault, however, agreed with Hassan that there are questions about whether it could violate the propaganda law.

    Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen of Nevada has a bill to ban political ads featuring cabinet members that are paid for with tax dollars. She is trying to introduce an amendment to it Thursday to address at least the look and content of this new Trump spot.

    消息:美伊探讨分阶段协议 伊朗重开霍尔木兹换美解除封锁

    2026年9月25日 07:06 / 联合早报

    第81届联合国大会正在美国纽约联合国总部举行。纽约街头一块电子广告牌打出醒目标语:“伊朗拥核是对全球威胁”。 (路透社)

    一名知情人士透露,美国与伊朗正在探讨一项分阶段协议。依照协议,德黑兰将重新开放霍尔木兹海峡,而华盛顿将解除对伊朗港口的封锁。

    彭博社报道,知情人士称,此前数月美伊均拒绝达成类似协议,但在星期四(9月24日)联合国大会边会期间,双方谈判代表正全力推动谈判取得突破。

    要求不具名的这名知情人士说,卡塔尔官员正在斡旋此次谈判。

    这项分阶段协议类似于美伊6月中旬达成的谅解备忘录。那份谅解备忘录促成了一项脆弱的停火,但停火几周后便告破裂。

    一名白宫官员说,特朗普总统仍对与伊朗对话持开放态度,但美国没有迫切的谈判需求。原因是,在持续升级的制裁和海上封锁下,伊朗经济已承受沉重压力,美国在谈判中处于有利地位。

    路透社24日早些时候也报道,美伊正在就一项潜在的分阶段协议展开磋商。

    自美以伊战争爆发以来,华盛顿与德黑兰之间的谈判已多次破裂,主要分歧包括霍尔木兹海峡问题,以及伊朗何时能动用被美国冻结的数十亿美元资金。

    伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬23日在纽约联合国大会上说,只要制裁和美国海上封锁持续,德黑兰就不会允许霍尔木兹海峡自由通行。

    美国纽约联合国总部: 伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽希基扬在联合国大会发表演讲时,将本国描绘成美国和以色列恐怖主义的受害者。

    但在大厅外,上千名抗议者高呼应将他以恐怖分子罪名逮捕。

    “他们是恐怖分子,必须滚蛋!”人群反复高呼,挥舞着抵抗运动的绿、白、红三色旗。

    “伊朗总统上台就不停地撒谎。他是杀人犯,是恐怖分子,”前纽约市长鲁迪·朱利亚尼告诉集会人群。
    “与他们谈判毫无意义,因为他们是恐怖分子、杀人犯,在某些方面甚至是疯狂的宗教狂热分子。这就像试图与希特勒达成协议一样。”

    多位前高级政府官员持相同论调,抨击这个他们声称数十年来残酷压迫、屠杀伊朗人民的激进伊斯兰政权。据估计,今年早些时候走上街头要求自由的伊朗抗议者中,有超过2万人被政府杀害。每周都有政治囚犯被处决的报道。

    “现在是时候将伊朗从毛拉政权手中解放出来了,”曾在两届特朗普政府任职的退役陆军中将基思·凯洛格告诉集会人群,“你们有一条通往世俗、无核伊朗共和国的路线图,这个共和国将作为朋友重新加入自由世界。”

    “你所要做的就是,特朗普总统,提供我们所需的资金和支持,提供伊朗人民所需的工具。这就是你承诺过的援助。这也是你仍然可以提供的援助,它将让美国更接近摆脱这场战争的拐点,并加快我们作为伊朗民主武库的步伐,”他说道。

    “伊朗人民已经拒绝了任何形式的独裁统治,无论是宗教独裁还是君主独裁,”玛丽姆·拉贾维在给集会的视频讲话中说。她是赞助此次抗议活动的伊朗全国抵抗委员会的候任主席。
    “伊朗受压迫人民的抗议之声正在被听到。这个声音拒绝宗教狂热分子继续占据伊朗在联合国的席位,”她在谈及该政权在这个世界机构中的成员国身份时说道。

    “该政权只对强硬和果断做出回应。这就是为什么制裁和向伊朗施压是外部施压方面的唯一解决方案,”伊朗全国抵抗委员会华盛顿办事处副主任阿里雷扎·贾法扎德告诉福克斯新闻。

    “该政权没有能力进行改革和变革。如果他们有能力,早就做到了。伊朗的真正解决方案是伊朗人民发起的变革。他们可以进行任何谈判、做出任何让步,但都无法改变该政权的行为方式,”他说道。

    UNITED NATIONS, New York: When Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the United Nations General Assembly, he portrayed his nation as the victim of American and Israeli terrorism.

    But outside the hall, a thousand protestors chanted that he should be arrested for being a terrorist.

    “They are terrorists, they must go!” the crowd repeatedly shouted, waving green, white and red flags of the resistance.

    “The president of Iran speaks and lies over and over again. He is a murderer. He is a terrorist,” former New York City Mayor Rudy Guillani told the gathering.

    “It is useless to negotiate with them because they are terrorists, murderers, possibly in some ways insane religious maniacs. This would be like trying to reach an agreement with Hitler.”

    Various former high-level government officials struck the same tone, slamming the radical Islamic regime that they say has savagely oppressed and butchered the Iranian people for decades. Estimates say upwards of 20,000 protestors who took to the streets of Iran earlier this year demanding freedom have been murdered by the government.Reports of executions of political prisoners continue each week.

    “It is time now to free Iran from the Mullahs,” Ret. Lt. General Keith Kellogg, who has served in both Trump administrations, told the gathering, “You have a road map to a secular, non-nuclear Republic of Iran, one that rejoins the free world as a friend.”

    TRUMP TO ZERO-IN ON IRAN NUCLEAR THREAT, GAZA PLAN AND UN OVERHAUL IN WORLD STAGE SPEECH

    Former US Ambassador Marc Ginsberg urged Congress to pass the “Maximum Support Act,” legislation that would crack down on Iran’s resources, confiscate assets of the government and support internet freedom, so the Iranian people could organize and have a voice.

    “All you have to do, President Trump, is to provide the funding and the support that we need, the tools the Iranian people need. That is the type of help you promised. That is the type of help you can still provide and bring the United States closer to this exit ramp from this war and to accelerate our speed as Iran’s arsenal of democracy,” he said.

    “The people of Iran have rejected every form of dictatorship, whether religious or monarchical,” said Maryam Rajavi in a video message to the rally. She is president-elect of the group that sponsored the protest, the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

    “The voice of protest from Iran’s oppressed people is being heard. The voice rejects the continued occupation of Iran’s seat by religious fanatics,” she said, referring to the regime’s membership in the world body.

    The rally was held over a two-day period and the message to the United Nations diplomats remained consistent.

    “The regime only responds to firmness and decisiveness. And that’s why sanctions and putting pressure on Iran has been the only solution in terms of external pressure,” Alireza Jafarzadeh, Deputy Director of the NCRI Washington, D.C. office told Fox News.

    “The regime is incapable of reform and change. If they were able, they would have done it a long time ago. The real solution for Iran is change by the people of Iran. They can have any talks, any concessions, none of that is going to change the behavior of the regime,” he said.

  • 特朗普敦促最高法院重启将移民遣送至人权记录不佳国家的程序

    唐纳德·特朗普总统政府周四敦促最高法院允许其在不给予移民提出人权关切机会的情况下,将移民遣送至其原籍国以外的国家。

    波士顿美国第一巡回上诉法院周三晚作出裁决,实际上叫停了这项遣返行动,而司法部随后提起了紧急上诉。自一年多前最高法院在该问题上支持特朗普政府以来,此类遣返行动一直在进行。

    美国司法部副部长、政府首席上诉律师D.约翰·绍尔在新提交的文件中告诉最高法院,这项裁决“给正在进行的遣返行动造成了严重的后勤问题——包括航班取消——并导致额外开支、潜在的外交纠纷,以及无法遣返危险罪犯”。

    “尽管某些外国公民可能会因推迟遣返而受益,但国家不会,”绍尔写道。

    最高法院去年在案件的早期阶段审查了这项政策,并在法院三名自由派大法官——索尼娅·索托马约尔、埃琳娜·卡根和凯坦吉·布朗·杰克逊的反对下,允许政策继续实施。

    随后,最高法院在一起涉及一批被关押在吉布提军事基地数周的移民的案件中,再次支持了特朗普政府。

    特朗普政府去年启动这项政策,作为其全面打击移民行动的一部分。历届美国政府面临的最大障碍之一,是试图将拒绝接收移民的本国送回,原因包括与美国关系冷淡等诸多因素。特朗普针对这一问题的解决方案是,将这些移民遣送至另一个国家,即便该移民与目的地国没有任何关联。

    去年移民权益团体披露,一批原本计划送往南苏丹的移民被关押在吉布提,这项政策因此引发大量审查。这些移民包括来自古巴、越南和老挝的人员,被关押在改装后的集装箱货运船内。据估计,已有约2.5万名移民根据这项政策被遣返。

    此次争议的核心是1994年经美国参议院批准的《禁止酷刑公约》,该公约通常禁止将移民遣返或引渡至有可能使其遭受酷刑的国家。该法律对于政府应如何作出此类判定、应给予涉案移民何种程序权利的规定较为模糊。

    周四,司法部在紧急上诉中请求法院立即下达“行政”暂停令,以允许遣返航班继续运行。

    司法部在提交给法院的文件中表示,他们已经取消了航班,并且“不得不将近150名外国公民从前往至少四个不同国家的遣返航班上撤离”。

    最高法院命令反对该政策的移民权益团体于周一下午之前提交回应。

    Trump urges Supreme Court to restart deportations to countries with poor human rights records

    President Donald Trump’s administration urged the Supreme Court on Thursday to allow it to remove migrants to countries other than their homeland without giving them an opportunity to raise human rights concerns.

    The Justice Department filed an emergency appeal after a decision from the Boston-based 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals late Wednesday effectively blocked the removals, which have been taking place since the Supreme Court sided with the administration on the issue more than a year ago.

    That decision has “created substantial logistical problems with ongoing removal operations – including the cancellation of flights – and led to added expense, potential diplomatic issues, and the inability to remove dangerous criminals,” US Solicitor General D. John Sauer, the administration’s top appellate attorney told the high court in the new filing.

    “While certain aliens may benefit from stalling their removal, the nation does not,” Sauer wrote.

    The Supreme Court reviewed the policy at an earlier stage of the case last year and allowed it to continue over the dissent of the court’s three liberal justices – Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

    The justices then sided with the administration again in a case involving a specific group of migrants that had been held for several weeks on a military base in Djibouti.

    The administration began the policy last year as part of its broader crackdown on immigration. One of the biggest hurdles previous administrations have faced is trying to deport migrants back to their home countries who would refuse to receive them for a host of reasons, including frosty relations with the United States. Trump’s answer to that problem was to deport those migrants to some other country, even if the migrant had no ties to the destination.

    The policy drew considerable scrutiny last year after immigrant rights groups revealed that one group of migrants, initially bound for South Sudan, were being detained in Djibouti. The migrants, including some from Cuba, Vietnam and Laos, were held in a converted Conex shipping container. An estimated 25,000 migrants have been removed under the policy.

    At issue is the Convention Against Torture, ratified by the Senate in 1994, that generally bars deportation or extradition to countries where there is a possibility that the migrant might be tortured. The law is vague about how an administration is supposed to make that determination and what process rights are due to the migrant at issue.

    In its emergency appeal on Thursday, the administration asked for an immediate “administrative” stay that would allow the flights to continue.

    The Justice Department told the court in its filing that it had cancelled flights and “has had to pull nearly 150 aliens from removal flights to at least four different countries.”

    The high court ordered the immigrant rights groups fighting the administration to respond by Monday afternoon.

  • 情妇在涉嫌杀害妻子的前《美国偶像》参赛者庭审中作证


    2026年9月24日 / 美国东部时间晚上7:47 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

    俄亥俄州一场庭审周四继续进行,该案被告是一名前《美国偶像》参赛者、音乐牧师,他于今年早些时候被控谋杀妻子。作证的是他的情妇。

    24岁的阿莱加·博特纳与40岁的被告凯莱布·弗林有染,她在两天的作证结束前,披露了两人在阿什利·弗林遇害前交换的逾10万条短信内容。

    检方指控弗林于2月16日在妻子熟睡时朝其脑后开了两枪。他们称,弗林随后将俄亥俄州蒂普城的家中布置成入室抢劫现场,并拨打911谎称入侵者实施了谋杀。作案枪支至今未被找到。弗林辩称,妻子遇害时他在另一个房间。

    他还被控篡改证据和恐吓证人。曾参加《美国偶像》第12季的弗林对所有指控均不认罪,其辩护团队辩称警方过快将他列为嫌疑人,且该案因 intense 媒体关注度被歪曲。

    博特纳作证称,她与凯莱布·弗林维持了约18个月的婚外情,两人是在她担任他所在教堂的实习生时相识的。她描述了两人如何隐藏聊天记录,承认最初对联邦调查局撒谎,并解释了自己的手机和工作笔记本电脑在阿什利·弗林遇害前几周丢失的情况。当被问及如今对凯莱布·弗林的看法时,她作证道:“我恨他。”

    博特纳作证称,凯莱布·弗林经常发表针对妻子的仇恨言论。在周四庭审中披露的一条2025年8月22日发给她的短信中,他写道自己当晚熬夜到凌晨4点,“想办法杀了她还不用坐牢”。博特纳回复劝他离婚了事。

    “显然我不是让你夺走她的生命,因为那不是你该做的事,我知道你其实也不会那么做,”博特纳在短信中写道,“但只要离婚,一切都会改变。”

    博特纳直到阿什利·弗林遇害四天后才与联邦调查局接触,此前她的姨妈向执法部门提供了线索,执法人员联系她接受询问。

    她在首次接受联邦探员询问时称,不相信凯莱布·弗林杀害了妻子,但在第二次询问中改变了说法,表示相信是他所为,并最终认定妻子的死“太过巧合”,她周四作证称。

    在法庭上,博特纳称有“很多次”她会质疑弗林是否真的恨妻子,并提及两人之间的温情短信。博特纳表示,这段婚外情持续约一年后,她以为自己爱上了凯莱布·弗林,嫉妒他妻子能从他那里得到关注,其中包括情人节前后的一次争吵事件。

    检方周三在法庭上播放的一段视频显示,凯莱布·弗林在与妻子同住的家中录制视频,背景里有他们的狗,他大声说道:“我爱阿莱加·博特纳。”

    2025年9月30日的一条短信中,凯莱布·弗林告诉博特纳,他愿意为了和她在一起而“牺牲我的女儿们、一份年薪25万美元的工作、一处住所、可能还有我任职的教堂、公众的鄙夷和羞辱,以及更多”。随后他要求博特纳在社交媒体上取关一名男子,还讽刺地称这是“巨大的牺牲”。

    博特纳曾多次向凯莱布·弗兰特下最后通牒,要求他离开妻子,曾发短信给他:“在她离开之前,我就走。”

    在辩护律师对这些短信进行交叉询问时,博特纳作证称:“我一直说的都是离婚。”

    阿什利·弗林被发现遇害的前一天,凯莱布·弗林给博特纳发了一系列短信,称自己第二天就会离开妻子,还写道他“并不害怕”。

    检方展示了博特纳在案发当天早上发给凯莱布·弗林的短信,内容是:“凯莱布,发生什么事了?你参与了吗?这是真的吗?”他没有回复,博特纳作证称她删除了这条短信,因为担心警方会搜查他的手机,发现两人的婚外情。

    几小时后,在由凯莱布·弗林的岳父母主办的教会成员聚会上,他告诉博特纳妻子被入侵者枪杀了。

    “我的心脏开始狂跳,在我看来,就在他要和她离婚的那天,她突然就死了,这也太巧合了,”博特纳周三在谈到得知阿什利·弗林死讯时的想法时作证道。

    庭审将于周五继续进行。

    Mistress testifies in trial of former “American Idol” contestant charged with his wife’s murder

    September 24, 2026 / 7:47 PM EDT / CBS News

    The Ohio trial of a former “American Idol” contestant and music pastor charged with murdering his wife earlier this year continued Thursday with the testimony of his mistress.

    Alleigha Botner, 24, who had an affair with the defendant Caleb Flynn, 40, concluded two days of testimony by discussing the more than 100,000 text messages the two exchanged before Ashley Flynn’s death.

    Prosecutors allege Flynn shot his wife twice in the back of the head while she was asleep in bed on Feb. 16. They allege he then staged their Tipp City, Ohio, home to mimic a break-in and called 911 to claim an intruder was responsible for the murder. The gun used in the shooting has not been recovered. Flynn has claimed he was in another room when his wife was murdered.

    He is also charged with tampering with evidence and intimidating a witness. Flynn, who was on season 12 of “American Idol,” pleaded not guilty to all charges, and his defense has argued that police moved too quickly to accuse him and that the case has been distorted by intense publicity.

    Botner testified to a roughly 18-month sexual affair with Caleb Flynn, who she met when she was an intern at his church. She described how the two hid their messages, admitted lying to the FBI at first, and explained how she lost her phone and work laptop just weeks before Ashley Flynn’s death. Asked how she feels about Caleb Flynn today, she testified, “I hate him.”

    Botner testified that Caleb Flynn regularly made hateful comments about his wife. In one Aug. 22, 2025, text to her that was revealed in Thursday’s trial, he wrote that he had stayed up until 4 a.m that night “thinking of ways to kill her and not going to jail.” Botner responded by encouraging him to get a divorce instead.

    “I’m not asking that you take her life, obviously, because that’s not what you should do, and I know you actually wouldn’t,” Botner responded in a text. “But to make the divorce happen, it would change everything.”

    Botner did not speak to the FBI until four days after Ashley Flynn’s murder, when law enforcement reached out to her for an interview following a tip from her aunt.

    In her first interview with FBI agents, she told them she did not believe that Caleb Flynn had killed his wife, but in her second interview with agents, she said she did, ultimately concluding her death was “way too much of a coincidence,” she testified Thursday.

    In court, Botner claimed there were “a lot of times” when she questioned whether Flynn really hated his wife, citing affectionate messages between the two. Botner said that about a year into the affair, she thought herself in love with Caleb Flynn and resented his wife for the attention she was getting from him, including an incident around Valentine’s Day that resulted in an argument.

    A video played by prosecutors in court Wednesday showed Caleb Flynn recording the home he shared with his wife while loudly stating, “I love Alleigha Botner” with their dog in the frame.

    In a Sept. 30, 2025, text, Caleb Flynn told Botner he was willing to sacrifice his “daughters, a quarter-million-dollar salary job, a place to live, possibly a church I serve at, public shame and humiliation, and way more” to be with her. He then asked Botner to unfollow a man on social media, sarcastically calling it a “big sacrifice.”

    Botner made several ultimatums to Caleb Flynn, demanding that he leave his wife, texting him, “Until she’s gone, I’m gone.”

    On cross-examination about those texts by defense attorneys, Botner testified that “I always meant divorce.”

    The day before Ashley Flynn was found dead, Caleb Flynn sent Botner a series of messages in which he claimed he was going to leave his wife the next day, writing that he was “not scared.”

    Prosecutors showed texts that Botner sent Caleb Flynn on the morning of the murder in which she wrote, “Caleb, what’s going on? Were you involved? Is this real?” He did not respond, and Botner testified that she deleted the message because she feared police would search his phone and uncover the affair.

    Hours later, at a gathering for members of Caleb Flynn’s church hosted by his in-laws, he told her his wife was shot by an intruder.

    “My heart started pounding, and in my mind, it just seemed like too much of a coincident that, the day he’s divorcing her, she’s just dead all of a sudden,” Botner testified Wednesday regarding when she learned of Ashley Flynn’s death.

    The trial will resume Friday.

  • 特朗普试图禁止CNN、MS NOW和政客报进入白宫。后续事态发展一览


    2026-09-24T21:07:58.939Z / CNN

    CNN、MS NOW和《政客报》的记者于周四获准重新进入白宫,距离联邦法官暂时恢复它们的媒体通行证已过去约10小时。

    但这场围绕唐纳德·特朗普总统禁止三家媒体进入白宫园区的法律纠纷,至少在未来几周内仍将持续。

    法官蒂莫西·凯利于美国东部时间凌晨1点下达的临时限制令,仅叫停特朗普对这三家媒体的禁令,有效期定为14天。

    凯利将审理媒体机构提出的长期禁令申请。目前仍存在诸多疑问,包括CNN、MS NOW和《政客报》能否参与报道总统相关的其他活动,以及白宫媒体池的地位问题。

    与此同时,特朗普政府司法部在法庭上表示,希望推翻一项有50年历史的、关于白宫媒体准入权的先例。

    以下是需要了解的关键信息:

    目前,此案仍由凯利法官审理。

    他接下来将决定是否有充分理由和足够证据,下达类似的法院命令——即初步禁令——恢复媒体准入权,以便在案件审理期间长期保留该权限。

    凯利要求相关媒体在周一之前提交初步禁令申请。特朗普政府必须在10月2日(周五)之前作出回应,媒体原告方则需在10月5日(周一)之前提交最终书面陈述。

    这位在特朗普第一任期内获任命的法官表示,他将在日后安排听证会,但计划“迅速”作出裁决。凯利目前的恢复媒体准入权的法院命令将于10月8日到期。

    特朗普曾公开表示,计划对不利于自己的裁决提起上诉——但从程序上讲,在法官就初步禁令申请作出裁决之前,无法启动上诉程序。

    就凯利的审理而言,司法部可以在法庭上完善其论点,特朗普政府也可能在白宫媒体准入问题上采取其他行动,尤其是针对CNN、MS NOW和《政客报》。

    与此同时,这三家主流媒体的律师可能会继续记录其记者进入白宫园区、采访特朗普的权限(或缺乏权限的情况),并向凯利辩称,根据包括第一修正案在内的宪法基本保护条款,他们应该能够继续在白宫进行报道。

    不过,特朗普随时可以让步,终止诉讼程序。此前针对暂停个别白宫媒体通行证的类似尝试,包括2018年CNN记者吉姆·阿科斯塔的事件,都是以这种方式结束的。

    凯利为白宫留下了提供更多事实和证据的空间,尤其是在政府试图辩称允许这三家新闻机构进入大楼会危及国家安全的情况下。

    在周三的听证会上,司法部一名律师指出,相关先例曾考虑过政府可以对在白宫园区对着总统做鬼脸的记者采取行动的可能性。

    “如果是玫瑰园里发生的特定事件,总统应该能够立即采取行动保护国家安全,”司法部律师迈克尔·维尔奇克说道。

    截至目前,凯利已驳回了国家安全担忧可作为禁令理由的主张,至少以白宫目前在法庭上提交的案例和事实依据来看是如此。

    法官的第一个理由是:特朗普本人上周五宣布禁止三家媒体进入白宫,理由是“原告的报道被指缺乏真实性且充满负面色彩”。总统在数天内都未提及国家安全问题。

    “至少就目前的记录而言,法院怀疑——被告方维护国家安全的利益,并非撤销原告硬通行证的真正动机,甚至与该撤销行为无关,”凯利写道。

    凯利表示,在CNN、MS NOW和《政客报》提起诉讼后,政府后来对禁令作出的解释,在是否真正涉及国家安全风险方面“含糊不清”。

    法官还指出,白宫所称存在风险的报道——关于特朗普东翼舞厅的规划、伊朗战争以及其他议题——都属于“常规报道”。

    没有任何一篇报道造成了如此严重的国家安全紧急事件,或达到需要吊销白宫通行证的异常程度——比如国际毒贩正在转移赃物的情况,凯利说道。

    法官补充道,其中几篇报道甚至并非由持有白宫媒体通行证的记者撰写,而一名CNN记者的通行证在她撰写了一篇如今被政府视为有问题的报道数月后才得以续签。

    最后,关于国家安全担忧,法官指出,政府目前在法庭上用以描述风险的依据是一名五角大楼官员。这名公关官员身处白宫之外,并不了解记者在白宫内部的工作方式。

    特朗普政府官员“没有理由让人相信,记者持有硬通行证与所认定的报道存在必然联系”,凯利写道。

    不过,随着案件推进,特朗普政府可以继续提出国家安全担忧,并向法官提供更多证据和案例。

    特朗普已经暗示,在最初失利后让步可能并非本届政府此次的行事风格。本周早些时候,这位总统称凯利——他在九年前任命其进入联邦法院——可能会作出不利于自己的裁决,并誓言将提起上诉。

    如果特朗普想在法庭上获胜,可能需要提起上诉。凯利在周四的命令中表示,他必须遵循有50年历史的判例法,该法律规定白宫不得在未经过正当程序的情况下吊销媒体通行证。凯利所在的美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院的三名法官组成的合议庭,也无法推翻先前案件中确立的正当程序要求。

    但司法部已经在提交给凯利的文件中表示,希望尝试推翻这项法律。

    司法部一名律师在本周提交给凯利的文件中辩称,1977年哥伦比亚特区巡回法院作出的、为白宫媒体通行证持有者确立正当程序的判决“是错误的,应当予以推翻”。

    这种可能性要到上诉程序的后续阶段才会出现,例如,如果一起关于总统政府突然吊销白宫媒体徽章的案件提交给由11名法官组成的哥伦比亚特区巡回法院全体合议庭审理。此案甚至可能上诉至最高法院。

    在案件审理期间,三家媒体还需遵守另一项次要的法院命令:它们必须缴纳保证金,以防法院认定其存在不当行为。凯利在周四晚间的命令中确定了保证金的金额。

    法官裁定金额为1美元。

    Trump sought to ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. Here’s what happens next

    2026-09-24T21:07:58.939Z / CNN

    Journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico were allowed back into the White House on Thursday roughly 10 hours after a federal judge temporarily reinstated their press credentials.

    But the legal fight over President Donald Trump’s attempt to ban the three outlets from the grounds may continue over the next few weeks at least.

    Judge Timothy Kelly’s 1 a.m. ET temporary restraining order blocking Trump’s ban on the three outlets only is scheduled to last 14 days.

    Kelly will entertain a request from the media organizations to issue a longer-term order. Questions remain about the ability to of CNN, MS NOW and Politico to participate in other aspects of covering the president and the status of the White House pool.

    Meanwhile, Trump’s Justice Department has said in court it wants to overturn a 50-year-old precedent about White House press access.

    Here’s what to know:

    For now, the case stays before Judge Kelly.

    His next step is to decide whether there’s reason and evidence enough for a similar court order – called a preliminary injunction – restoring press access that would stay in place indefinitely as the case plays out.

    Kelly is giving the outlets until Monday to file the preliminary injunction request. The Trump administration must respond by Friday, October 2, with a final written submission from the media plaintiffs due by Monday, October 5.

    The judge, who was appointed by Trump during in his first term, said he would schedule a hearing at a later date, but he planned to rule “expeditiously.” Kelly’s current court order restoring the outlets’ access expires on October 8.

    Trump has publicly indicated he plans to appeal rulings against him – but procedurally, it’s not possible until the judge decides on the preliminary injunction request.

    For Kelly, the Justice Department will be able to build out its arguments in court, or the Trump administration could make other moves around press access at the White House, especially for CNN, MS NOW and Politico.

    At the same time, lawyers for the three major outlets are likely to continue documenting the access (or lack of access) that their journalists have to the White House grounds and for covering Trump, arguing to Kelly that they should be able to continue reporting from the White House because of foundational Constitutional protections, including the First Amendment.

    Trump can, however, back down and end the court proceeding at any time. That is how prior attempts to ban suspended individual White House press pass holders, including CNN’s Jim Acosta in 2018, ended.

    Kelly has kept the door open for more facts and evidence to come from the White House, especially as the administration tries to argue that letting the three news outlets into the building puts national security at risk.

    At a hearing Wednesday, a DOJ attorney pointed to how a relevant precedent contemplated the possibility that the administration could take action against a journalist who had mooned the president on the White House grounds.

    “If that’s the case with a specific incident in the Rose Garden, the president should be able to take immediate action to protect national security,” DOJ attorney Michael Velchik said.

    Kelly so far has batted down the idea that national security concerns justified the ban, at least with the current examples and set of facts the White House has presented in court.

    The judge’s first reason: Trump himself announced he was banning the three news outlets from the White House last Friday because of “alleged lack of truthfulness and negativity of Plaintiffs’ reporting.” The president made no mention of national security for days.

    “The Court is skeptical – at least on this record – that Defendants’ interest in safeguarding national security is the actual motivation for, or is even advanced by, the revocation of Plaintiffs’ hard passes,” Kelly wrote.

    The administration’s later explanations about the ban after CNN, MS NOW and Politico sued were “ambiguous” on whether they actually were about national security risks, Kelly said.

    The judge also noted that the news articles the White House said were risky – about the plans for Trump’s East Wing ballroom, the Iran War, and other topics – are “routine.”

    None created such a national security emergency or were so extraordinary that the White House passes needed to be revoked – say, when international narcotics traffickers are moving loot – Kelly said.

    Several of the stories weren’t even written by White House-credentialed reporters, and the credential for one CNN reporter was renewed months after she wrote a story the administration now flags as objectionable, the judge added.

    And finally, on the national security concerns, the judge noted that it was a Pentagon official the administration relied on in court so far to describe the risk. That public relations official, sitting outside the White House, wouldn’t know how reporters work within the White House.

    Trump administration officials “afford no reason to believe that the reporters’ possession of the hard pass was integral to the stories identified,” Kelly wrote.

    As the case proceeds, however, the Trump administration can continue to raise its national security concerns and provide additional evidence and examples to the judge.

    Trump has already signaled that backing down after an initial loss may not be his administration’s approach this time. Earlier this week, the president claimed that Kelly – whom he appointed to the federal bench nine years ago – would likely rule against him, and vowed to appeal.

    Appeals may be necessary if Trump wants to win in court. Kelly in his order on Thursday said he is required to follow 50-year-old case law that says the White House can’t revoke press credentials without due process. A three-judge panel at the appeals court above Kelly, the DC US Circuit Court of Appeals, also can’t overturn the due process requirements set in prior cases.

    Yet the Justice Department has said in filings to Kelly already it would like to try to overturn that law.

    A 1977 DC Circuit decision that set the law for White House press pass holders to receive due process “is wrong and should be overruled,” a Justice Department attorney argued to Kelly in a filing this week.

    The possibility wouldn’t come into play until later rounds of appeals, such as if a case over White House press badges that a presidential administration abruptly revokes goes before the 11 judges of the DC Circuit, which is called sitting en banc. This case could even make its way to the Supreme Court.

    While the case continues, there’s one more minor court order the three news outlets must follow: They will have to post bond, just in case a court finds they’re in the wrong. Kelly set how much that bond should be in his order Thursday night.

    The judge determined $1.
