CNN Panel Erupts Over Trump Attacking Obama: ‘No, I'm Not Gonna Calm Down!'
CNN host Abby Phillip oversaw a heated debate Tuesday over President Donald Trump's recent attacks against former President Barack Obama, which included him sharing an artificial intelligence-generated video of Obama being arrested and in prison. Trump shared the video on Sunday on social media after his director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, issued a report Friday accusing the Obama White House of a 'treasonous conspiracy' by stating Russia aimed to help Trump win the 2016 presidential election. 'He's accusing a former president of treason, and on top of that, saying ... 'It may not be right, but I'm gonna go after them anyway,'' Phillip said Tuesday. 'What is he talking about? And what kind of country are we living in that is actually what he is doing?' Her panelists quickly clashed over the subject, as Republican consultant Brad Todd argued in a seeming attempt to excuse Trump's behavior that Democrats have accused him of for several years of rigging the 2016 election with Russia's help. 'Oh my God,' replied Keith Boykin, a former White House aide to President Bill Clinton. 'Why are we talking about this? This is not the issue. You're trying to avoid the subject.' Todd noted that a spokesperson for Obama reiterated Tuesday that Russia tried but failed to manipulate any votes in the election. He appeared far angrier about 'every liberal in America' supposedly believing otherwise, however, than about Trump accusing Obama. 'You're doing everything possible not to talk about the fact that the ... current president of the United States, just accused a former president of treason and suggested a prosecution of that former president with no evidence!' Boykin said. 'That is the problem!' Boykin: The current president just accused a former president of treason and suggested a prosecution of that former president with no You can calm down. — Acyn (@Acyn) July 23, 2025 'You can calm down,' Todd responded. 'No, I'm not gonna calm down!' Boykin replied. 'Why don't you talk about that instead of talking about Obama?' Todd argued, 'Because Obama just undid three years of Democrat mythology.' Todd was referencing a statement Tuesday from Obama spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush, who reaffirmed that Russia indeed 'worked to influence' the 2016 election, but did not successfully manipulate any votes, which has been known since at least 2020. '[Russian President Vladimir] Putin and the Russian Government demonstrated a preference for candidate Trump,' a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Report stated at the time. Gabbard's report and the fake video Trump shared only emerged after his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late sex offender who died in jail while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, hit fever pitch — leading many to believe these stunts are mere distractions. 'The problem is, this is what Trump does. He distracts everybody. He's talking about President Obama because he doesn't want to talk about Epstein,' said Boykin. 'He's doing everything possible except talking about Jeffrey Epstein because he's trying to throw up distraction[s] so the people like you,' he added, 'Todd, can come on TV and try to diffuse the issue.'

GOP Senator Gives Trump A Warning About The 2026 Midterms
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) on Wednesday urged the Trump administration to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, warning that the White House's handling of the issue could affect the GOP's performance in the 2026 midterm elections. In an interview with Axios' Stef Knight, Tillis said the best thing the administration can do at the moment to address the Epstein controversy is 'just release the damn files.' 'The promise to release the files during the campaign was either overplayed and we got a nothingburger if the files get released, or it's something really disturbing, and that's actually even a more compelling reason to release [them],' Tillis said. A memo co-authored by the FBI and the Justice Department earlier this month alleging there was no evidence to suggest Epstein was killed or that he held a client list to blackmail people angered Trump's base as it undercut claims made by members of his team, including Attorney General Pam Bondi. Bondi told Fox News in February Epstein's client list was 'sitting on [her] desk right now to review' under the direction of Trump. The Republican senator warned his party's leaders that trying to sweep the issue under the rug by resorting to tactics like House Speaker Mike Johnson's (La.) call to adjourn the lower chamber earlier than planned to block a vote on a bipartisan effort forcing the release of the files will have the opposite effect. 'If anybody thinks that this is going to go away because the House left a day early or something, it's going to be like those zombies in 'The Walking Dead.' Every time you think you've killed it, another one's just going to come running out of the closet after you,' he said. 'This is going to be an issue all the way through next year's election,' he added. .@SenThomTillis on Epstein: "Release the damn files." # — Axios (@axios) July 23, 2025 Democrats have already been using the issue to hammer Republicans. Trump has tried to downplay his relationship with Epstein, dodging questions about the disgraced financier, while reports continue to surface about the ties between the two men. CNN on Tuesday released photos showing Epstein attending Trump's wedding to Marla Maples in 1993 as well as footage from a Victoria's Secret event in 1999 where the two men appeared together. This follows an earlier report by The Wall Street Journal detailing a sexually lewd letter Trump allegedly wrote to Epstein as part of a surprise for his 50th birthday in 2003. The president has denied he wrote the letter and has sued the Journal over that article. Last month, Tillis announced he won't be seeking reelection next year after he faced Trump's wrath for voting down the president's so-called 'big, beautiful bill.' Still, Tillis has repeatedly said he doesn't necessarily intend to oppose the president during the remainder of his term ― though he's eager to call out what he's described as 'bad advice' from those who have his ear.

Man who murdered four University of Idaho students in 2022 being sentenced
A man who murdered four University of Idaho students in November 2022 is being sentenced. Bryan Kohberger, a 30-year-old former criminal justice student, initially denied the killings as part of a deal that meant he would likely avoid the death penalty. Kohberger was accused of sneaking into a rented home in Moscow, , which is not far from the university campus, and murdering Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves. In court today, who survived the attack, Bethany Funke, said about her roommates in a statement: "I hated and still hate that they are gone, but for some reason, I am still here and I got to live. I still think about this every day. Why me? Why did I get to live, and not them?" Post-mortem examinations showed the four were stabbed multiple times and were likely asleep when they were attacked - with some sustaining defensive wounds. Kohberger has never revealed his motive and it is not clear why he spared two roommates who were in the home. He was arrested at his parents' home in Pennsylvania weeks after following a nationwide search. This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
