One impediment to growing the audience is the fact that Truth Social remains banned from the Google Play Store for insufficient content moderation.

It is rare for any journalist to land an interview with President Biden, who has been historically hidden from the press in comparison to his predecessors. With just weeks left of 2022, the president has only given four televised sit-downs this year, most recently with CNN anchor Jake Tapper. Last week, The Washington Post reported that anonymous federal agents allege they have "sufficient evidence" to charge Biden's son Hunter with tax and gun crimes. During his interview with the president, Tapper allotted just one question about his embattled son in light of the latest developments. "Personally and politically, how do you react to that?" Tapper asked on Tuesday. Biden responded by reiterating how "proud" he was of his son, who he stressed has overcome his drug addiction and acknowledged the allegation that Hunter falsely claimed he was not addicted to drugs on his gun purchase application. Tapper failed to ask any follow-up questions like whether he would pardon his son if criminal charges were brought.The anchor didn't even touch the looming questions over Hunter Biden's foreign business ties that could implicate his father, avoiding concerns about whether the president was involved in any of his son's financial dealings and if he himself ever received kickbacks.There were also no inquiries about revelations that several of Hunter Biden's associates visited the Obama-Biden White House even after Biden claimed on the campaign trail that he never talked business with his son.

Former President Trump published a letter Friday ripping the House Select Committee on Jan. 6 for failing to investigate what he considers basic questions surrounding the riot. The committee issued a subpoena for testimony from Trump at its business meeting Thursday.
Republicans are questioning the timing of the January 6 Committee's subpoena of former President Trump – more than a year after it started its investigation and just weeks before Republicans are expected to disband the committee if they win back the House. "The Select Committee’s unenforceable subpoena is just another made-for-TV prop," Rep.
Today was the last of the Jan. 6 hearings before the mid-term elections — which means, depending on how things go, they could be the last Jan.

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld reflected on former presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard's decision to leave the Democratic Party on "The Five" Tuesday, saying she is the "definition of an individual" and predicting she will be former President Trump's running mate in 2024. The thing I like about Tulsi is that if she were to give you two opinions, you could not predict a third one. Right? She's the definition of an individual.

Ahead of former President Trump’s rallies this weekend in the key general election battlegrounds of Arizona and Nevada, a recently formed Trump super PAC is launching ads in crucial midterm races in both states.

Fox News' "Hannity" and the Wall Street Journal first reported about the ads. The commercial in Arizona takes aim at Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly and Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, the Democrats’ gubernatorial nominee.
