Donald Trump 'moaned about White House computers blocking adult films'
Anthony Scaramucci, who was Donald Trump's director of communications for 11 days in 2017, claimed the US president complained he couldn't watch porn in the White House Donald Trump moaned about White House computers blocking porn, his former director of communications has claimed. Anthony Scaramucci worked with the US president during his first term in the White House but his stint as White House communications director lasted only 11 days before he was fired. Since then, he has been critical of Trump, voicing his support for Joe Biden and for Kamala Harris in the 2020 and 2024 elections respectively. Now the financier has claimed Trump complained to him that he couldn't watch X-rated films because computers at the White House blocked them. It isn't the first time this claim has emerged as back in 2018 Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski alleged a source told her the US president was frustrated with life in the White House as he couldn't watch porn. She made the comments while appearing on MSNBC Live with Stephanie Ruhle seven years ago, to talk to Stormy Daniels ' attorney Michael Avenatti. The former adult actress claimed she had sex with Trump while he was married in 2006, just months after the birth of his youngest son, Barron. Their alleged affair was at the centre of Trump's hush-money trial in New York, during which he became the first former American president to be convicted of felony crimes. A jury found him guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to Ms Daniels who said the two had sex. When Ms Daniels made the allegations, Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Ms Daniels didn't have credibility and didn't deserve "respect" because she was a sex worker. "I respect women - beautiful women and women with value - but a woman who sells her body for sexual exploitation I don't respect," said Giuliani. "Someone who sells his or her body for money has no good name." In response, a lawyer for Ms Daniels, who sued Trump for defamation - but lost the case - called Giuliani "an absolute pig". The comments were the topic of discussion on MSNBC in June 2018 and Ms Brzezinski called out the "hypocrisy" while mentioning the allegations about Trump complaining about computers blocking porn. She said: "The hypocrisy is astounding. Because I know someone who spoke to Donald Trump recently about life in the White House, and Donald Trump's biggest complaint was that he's not allowed to watch porn in the White House. So there you go, there's a little bit of news for you. He's upset, he's upset that he can't watch porn in the White House." The claims, now repeated by Scaramucci, emerged after Trump's "big, beautiful bill" passed this week. Supporters of the bill, predominantly Republicans, are championing the tax reductions as a bulwark against tax increases for families and a catalyst for economic expansion. They assert their commitment to recalibrating welfare programmes such as SNAP, Medicare, and Medicaid to better serve their original target groups – expectant mothers, the disabled, and children – while simultaneously eliminating what they describe as rampant inefficiencies and corruption. The bill's passage marked a significant achievement for the president and it is set to become a defining feature of Trump's second administration while it is testament to his strength, with Republicans holding majority control over both the House and the Senate, as well as the Executive Branch. Even the Supreme Court majority leans conservative. The bill essentially overturns Democratic policies from Trump's predecessors. It fundamentally rejects the agendas of the previous two Democratic presidents, Barack Obama and Joe Biden. It chips away at the Medicaid expansion of Obama's Affordable Care Act and rolls back Biden's climate strategies in the Inflation Reduction Act.

ScotRail staff facing soaring physical assaults as recorded attacks double in a year
Attacks on ScotRail workers have doubled according to newly obtained data. ScotRail workers are facing soaring physical assaults as newly obtained data shows the attacks having doubled. Staff at ScotRail faced 110 attacks on trains and at stations across the country last year, which was double those reported in 2022, according to data obtained by Glasgow Live. This comes despite verbal attacks being at a three-year low of 161 reported incidents compared to 229 over the same period. Glasgow Queen Street and Partick were named as having the most attacks on staff last year, with nine. Glasgow Central and Paisley Gilmour Station came in close behind with eight recorded attacks on staff each. However, according to the data, the majority of attacks happened on train services, with 174 compared to 96 at stations in 2024. It follows previous warnings from the RMT over the safety of rail workers. The shocking data comes after philosophy student Cheyenne Naeb pushed Queen Street railway worker Brittany Mansfield onto the tracks after he claimed she made him miss his train. Naeb, of Dundee, was enraged after dispatcher Miss Mansfield allowed a train to leave which he wished to board at 9.11am. The American attacker pointed his finger at the mum and went on a verbal tirade towards her. Naeb went on to push her onto the tracks shortly before a train on the line was set to depart. He pled guilty last year at Glasgow Sheriff Court after admitting to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and was sentenced to 20 months in jail. ScotRail say it has made considerable investment to improve safety on the rail network, including £1.6million for body-worn cameras to tackle anti-social behaviour and doubling staff on some late-night train routes. The company also say it has invested £2million to improve CCTV on the network and has one of the largest networks in the country, with eight thousand cameras covering more than 360 stations. Mark Ilderton, ScotRail Service Delivery Director, said: 'We are absolutely committed to making Scotland's Railway as safe as it can be for our staff and our customers. 'There has been considerable investment across the network to help achieve this, and we will continue to work with British Transport Police to take the strongest possible action against anyone guilty of criminal behaviour.'
