Right-wing populism in the United States

FBI agents are searching former President Donald Trump's Florida home, Trump himself said in a statement.

According to the Republican billionaire, his Mar-A-Lago resort estate is "under siege, attacked and occupied by a large group" of federal agents.

It is unclear at this time what the reason for the search is, for which agents have served a warrant.

Former US president Donald Trump said Aug. 8 that his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida was being "raided" by FBI agents in what he called an act of "prosecutorial misconduct."

Yet it was quite shocking in retrospect how little he spoke about Donald Trump, perhaps thinking that they were equals. The former president cannot have been amused; no one is meant to upstage him. Orban was his warm-up act, the one that few are supposed to even remember after the main act has carried off his two-hour show.

Kari Lake, a former news anchor who walked away from her journalism career and was embraced by Donald Trump and his staunch supporters, won the Republican primary for Arizona governor on Thursday.

After almost a year of investigation, a special commission began presenting the collected testimony about the events.

On January 6 last year, Donald Trump supporters tried to prevent Congress from attesting to the victory of incumbent President Joe Biden, attacked police officers and caused millions in damage.

The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol laid the blame firmly on Donald Trump on June 9 night, saying the assault was hardly spontaneous but an "attempted coup" and a direct result of the defeated president's effort to overturn the 2020 election.

Four days after Twitter permanently suspended Donald Trump's account on January 8, 2021, the then-US president's son pleaded with entrepreneur Elon Musk to employ his "brilliance" to launch a social media platform that "isn't biased" to crush the competition.

Musk didn't accept Donald Trump Jr's challenge.

Leading Republicans spent much of three days avoiding Donald Trump's chief grievances or ignoring him altogether as they unified behind a midterm message designed to win back the voters the polarizing former president alienated while in office.

That changed Saturday night.

Lawmakers investigating the 2021 U.S. Capitol assault asked Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump on Jan. 20 to cooperate with their inquiry, in a significant escalation of attempts to seek testimony from the inner circle of the former president.

Donald Trump's former chief of staff filed suit on Dec. 8 against the congressional committee pursuing him for criminal contempt over his refusal to testify in their probe of the deadly U.S. Capitol assault.
