The News Agents - USA

Sean Spicer, Anthony Scaramucci, Karoline Leavitt. Donald Trump's history of press secretaries is enough to tell you that it's a job like no other - with unrelenting scrutiny from the press and the President. Enter Katie Zacharia, Trump's new pick for the job. She made her debut yesterday, and despite fielding only three questions, has become something of a Meme for her shaky first outing - fielding only three questions, failing to answer basics, and struggling to speak without constant reference to her notes. And that's before you even dig into her CV: is she actually a lawyer and why was she working in China? President Trump likes to project strength, but the press reviews of his new hire suggest she is fast becoming a major point of weakness for his administration. How long can she last?Later, America's ambassador to Greece has been ousted by Trump after she was using her influence inside Trump world to get a donor to pay off her credit card bills.

The Republicans cannot get over Jack Smith. The former special counsel who led two criminal cases against Donald Trump faced a barrage of attacks from GOP senators on the Judiciary Committee: "You make me want to throw up in my mouth"; "The most egregious abuse of power in the history of the Department of Justice"; "You are a total dirtbag."But when they thought they had a smoking gun, the interrogation backfired spectacularly. Senator Eric Schmitt confused two basketball teams and alleged that Smith was at a game he never attended, in a state he wasn't in. Schmitt was trying to insinuate that Smith was secretly coordinating against Trump with a prosecutor in Georgia, but his "gotcha" humiliated only himself. Why is the GOP still so set on rehashing old, debunked allegations of political persecution against Donald Trump?Later, gang rape allegations at Cornell University have shocked America and led Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to condemn a "culture of rape, sexual assault, and pedophilia" in elite institutions.

With the midterms approaching, President Trump has once again raised the stakes, with FBI Director Kash Patel saying he is open to sending federal agents into polling stations. The comments have sparked alarm among Democrats, who fear the Trump administration could take increasingly aggressive steps to assert control over the coming elections.Just a week ago, Trump was offering every American adult $5,000 if Republicans won the midterms. So how have things escalated so quickly? And do dire poll numbers increase the chances of Trump taking even more drastic action as November approaches?The News Agents USA is a Global Production.The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/
