On Saturday night, Trump delivered a 90-minute address to the North Carolina Republican Party state conference at the Greenville Convention Center, marking his first official speech since the Conservative Political Action Conference in February. He used the address to push his baseless claim that widespread election fraud caused his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden. The event came days after New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman reported that Trump had been telling a number of contacts that he “expects he will get reinstated by August” to the White House....

According to accounts in “Betrayal: The Final Act of The Trump Show,” by ABC News’ chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl, Bartiromo complained to Barr that the Department of Justice had done nothing to “stop the Democrats from stealing the election.” In a copy of the book seen by CNN, Barr reportedly told Karl on the record: “She [Bartiromo] called me up and she was screaming. I yelled back at her....

“You had talked about investigating the Democrats was part of the quid pro quo,” Wallace said to Mulvaney on his weekend show Fox News Sunday. “You also said, if I may, it was part of the Justice Department investigation into the origins of the Russia probe. “But the fact is, not only did the press think you said it, here’s what–a statement that was put out by a senior Justice Department official,” the Fox News anchor continued, putting the statement on the screen....

The results of the audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, which was led by Cyber Ninjas, a company contracted by the Arizona Senate, found that President Joe Biden defeated former President Donald Trump by slightly more votes than the official count. During his show Media Buzz on Sunday, Kurtz discussed the audit with a panel. Later, he said he faced criticism after reporting on the results. “A little sad that when the GOP-commissioned and Trump-ally-funded Arizona audit found Biden got 99 more votes, people attack me & the media,” Kurtz wrote on Twitter Sunday afternoon....

“It is great news for America. Especially for the large number of young people who would have been killed in pointless wars if Bolton had stayed on the job,” the right-wing host said during his evening show Tucker Carlson Tonight. He went on to argue that global investors “knew for certain that Bolton planned on launching another Middle Eastern conflict that would inevitably spike energy prices.” Carlson also claimed that “many progressives are mourning” Bolton’s departure, arguing that the ex-national security advisor was “fundamentally a man of the left....

As teams make it deeper into the knockout stages of the FA Cup and Champions League, the Premier League has to re-schedule certain matches which lead to Double Gameweeks i.e teams playing 2 matches instead of one in a single gameweek. This season GW32 and GW35 have been designated as DGW’s and Fantasy Managers are losing their mind over what strategy to employ with their chips to get maximum returns....

Football fever has slowly built over the last four weeks as the country took its young national team to heart, with ecstatic scenes after their semi-final victory, a sign of the country’s hunger for success. On what is a traditional holiday weekend to mark France’s national day, many families will watch from camp sites or hotels, while giant screens have been erected in cities nationwide under exceptionally tight security....

France’s Marion Rolland upstaged a raft of big-name favourites to come out a surprise winner of the women’s downhill at the World Ski Championships on Sunday. The 30-year-old has just two World Cup podiums to her name, tellingly both in Schladming last year, and nailed a near-perfect run down the testing, 3km-long Streicher course, scene of more woe for the vaunted Austrian team. Rolland, who gained some notoriety after suffering an embarassing fall just three seconds into the downhill at the 2010 Winter Olympics, clocked 1min 50....

Les Bleus forward Antoine Griezmann went down in the 18-yard box after a tackle from Josh Risdon in the 54th minute. Risdon appeared to clip the ball and, as such, the referee didn’t give an initial penalty, deeming Griezmann to have gone down too easily. But once play stopped, the referee checked replays using VAR and perceived that Griezmann had been fouled, despite there appearing to be minimal - if any - contact on the Atletico Madrid star....

That's the infamous Jim E. Mora quote that keeps popping into my head now that the 2014 NFL Combine is in the books and it’s officially franchise tag season. Mora, then with the Saints, was trying to draw a line between the media and himself: When it comes to the intricacies of the sport, he suggested, reporters are in the dark. It’s the same outlook I have when it comes to fans’ perception of the franchise tag....

Gore rushed for 329 yards on 21 carries — an absurd 15.7 yards-per-carry average — and two touchdowns in a 38-24 LendingTree Bowl victory over Rice. His outburst not only helped the Golden Eagles to the win, but also marked the highest single-game rushing total of the 2022 college football season. It set the new program mark for single-game rushing yards and, more impressively, gave Gore the FBS bowl rushing record....

The riches and financial rewards at the highest-level of the professional game leave players with a number of options when their careers come to a close. There’s the unpredictable pressure of management, the security of the media, the opportunity to invest in interests outside of football, or the financial freedom to do nothing at all. Lampard, like his former England team-mate Steven Gerrard at Glasgow Rangers, opted for the toughest choice....

The Fortnite v16.30 update was released a few hours ago, with some much-anticipated changes coming to the Primal-themed season. However, players cannot get into the game as the “You don’t have permission to play Fortnite” option keeps popping up. Data miners have also posted tweets regarding this matter. The problem has stopped players from entering the game, especially after Neymar Jr was added to the map. Epic Games issued an official tweet about Fortnite being stuck on “checking for updates....

Epic isn’t willing to break open this llama pinata just yet. No specific details regarding Survive the Storm have been shared. All that Epic is saying is that Survive the Storm is tentatively planned for release in late August or early September and that players can expect new content within such as a whole new mode, new weapons, and “new threats.” Hopefully Epic has some exciting surprises in store for Fortnite players....

Fans of the popular battle royale title have been speculating about other characters they want to see as skins fitting the theme, such as Samus Aran from the Metroid series. However, leaks have suggested more serious contenders such as Halo’s Master Chief coming to Fortnite in the near future, and fans have also noticed clues around the in-game map and Epic Games’ promotional material pointing to iconic alien hunter Predator....

The Crimson Tide made College Football Playoff history on Sunday when it was selected as the No. 4 team in the country, becoming the first team to move into the final field after remaining idle and making the SEC the first conference to have two teams in the final field. MORE: Like it or not, committee chose Bama for right reason That, of course, sparked debate — and in certain parts of Twitter, full-blown arguments — about whether Ohio State was the more deserving team, if the Buckeyes’ big wins overshadowed their losses and Alabama’s lack of a conference championship … and if the “more deserving” team should have gotten in over the better team....

TSM co-owner Harry Scott, in a statement issued Wednesday night, said the organization’s other two trucks will run. Ben Kennedy, son of NASCAR vice chairwoman Lesa France Kennedy, is ninth in the standings as a rookie.
