Did Trump Order Maduro’s Kidnapping Based on Grok’s Advice?

Time says Trump spent hours questioning Grok about his presidency and legacy during a clandestine Oval Office meeting, according to an official present.

  • President Donald Trump sat for a Time interview where he discussed his legacy and asked Grok questions about his presidency, while refusing to rule out declaring a state of emergency before the midterms.
  • The Justice Department is reviewing whether Watergate prosecutors mistreated Richard Nixon, after a former aide delivered a presentation arguing the "deep state" used "lawfare" to target him more than 50 years after his resignation.
  • Administration officials are steering more than $175 million from human rights funds, including a $1 million grant for "Countering lawfare and censorship in Brazil" aimed at the court that convicted Jair Bolsonaro of plotting a coup.
  • Attorney General Jorge Messias called the funding "an important alert for Brazilian sovereignty," while JD Vance suggested at the Nixon Library that Watergate would be a "12-hour news story" if it occurred today.
  • Five weeks before the midterms, Trump said of the Insurrection Act, "I could use it," and stated "I don't rule anything out or in" when asked about an emergency declaration before Election Day.
