Put a full stop to her bid for the presidency

Trump does not have the same level of Secret Service protection as a sitting president, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said Sunday.

Members of Congress in both parties are pressing for former President Trump to receive enhanced Secret Service protection following a second apparent assassination attempt against him on Sunday.Why it matters: The last attempt in July has touched off an intense, bipartisan wave of congressional scrutiny towards the Secret Service.The bipartisan task force investigating that shooting is already seeking a briefing into Sunday's incident at Trump's West Palm Beach, Florida golf club.Trump is "safe" after there were "gunshots in his vicinity," his campaign said earlier Sunday. Driving the news: Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) told Axios, "All major presidential candidates ought to receive the highest level of presidential [protection]. Anything less than maximum protection is a self-inflicted wound that puts our Nation's stability at grave risk."After the shooting in July, Torres and Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) introduced a bill to boost security for Trump, President Biden and Robert Kennedy Jr., who has since dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Trump.Several Republicans made similar statements, with Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) saying in a post on X that Trump "should have same security level as the sitting president!""Given the escalating threats, I'm calling on President Biden to issue President Trump the same security levels afforded to a sitting President to ensure his safety," said Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-N.Y.) in a statement.Between the lines: Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said at a news conference Sunday that because Trump is not a sitting president, the Secret Service was "limited" to "the areas that the Secret Service deems possible," Axios' Erin Doherty reported.If Trump was the sitting president, Bradshaw said, "we would have had this entire golf course surrounded."Spokespeople for the White House and Secret Service did not immediately respond to requests for comment.More from Axios:Trump shooting sparks bipartisan push to boost his security"We live in danger times": Secret Service after Trump apparent assassination attemptTop Republicans and Democrats react to apparent assassination attempt on Trump

A federal judge said that Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy has not been officially dismissed because the former New York City mayor has refused to pay administrative expenses — even though he seems to have the funds to do so.In July, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane said he would dismiss the bankruptcy case at the request of Giuliani and two former Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. Giuliani had initially declared bankruptcy after a court ordered him to pay Freeman and Moss $148 million for defamation.In a five-page order on Thursday, Lane noted that the order to dismiss the case had not been entered into the court record because Giuliani claimed he could not afford to pay related administrative expenses."The administrative expenses in question are the fees for the financial advisors retained by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors," the judge's Thursday order said. "What little we know about the Debtor's financial situation makes his stance here more troubling.""Even assuming that the Debtor does not have the funds on hand to immediately pay these bankruptcy expenses, he certainly has considerable assets upon which he can draw to pay such expenses," Lane continued. "It is undisputed that he owns two apartments of considerable value."Giuliani's New York apartment was said to be worth $5.6 million, and his Florida apartment was valued at approximately $3.5 million.EXCLUSIVE: Trump ‘secretary of retribution’ won't discuss his ‘target list’ at RNCLane explained that the "most obvious path forward" would be to hold hearings to determine Giuliani's financial conditions and possibly force him to testify."[T]here may come a point when dismissal is no longer an option because the Debtor is unwilling to pay these administrative expenses, a necessary requirement under the law for dismissal of the case," Thursday's order said. "Under such circumstances, the Court may be forced to reevaluate the alternative of a Chapter 11 trustee to supervise the administration of the Debtor's financial affairs and to promptly liquidate assets such as the New York apartment as appropriate."Lane gave Giuliani and his creditors until July 31 to submit proposals for a path forward.

A GOP strategist unleashed an attack on Kamala Harris that was dripping in sarcasm Thursday after losing his cool over positive media coverage of the Democratic Party’s presumed presidential candidate.Doug Heye was on CNN as the vice president finished a rally speech in Houston. As his co-guest, Democratic Party strategist Maria Cordona, finished praising the candidate’s performance, Heye got flustered.Raising his voice, he said, “Everything we heard is 'Oh my god, Kamala Harris is the greatest thing ever. She's the greatest cook that we've ever had near the Oval Office. She knows more about wine than anybody other than maybe Thomas Jefferson. Everything she does is amazing.'“So we should just cancel the election because clearly she's going to win by 25 points?”He then tried to bring the CNN panel back from what he saw as rose-colored adoration.ALSO READ: ‘Creepy weirdos’: Senator fears Trump WH staff would destroy government from ‘inside’“The reality is, i'm not going to get in Donald Trump's head, don't want to be there, don't know what's in there. But he sees the same polling that we do," he said.“Kamala Harris is marginally less unpopular than Joe Biden. She's not winning in the polls. Maybe that changes in a week or two, or six or eight, but at this point, Donald Trump is still winning despite this barrage of nothing but positive press for Kamala Harris and has been marinated in the public's mind.”Cardona had set him off by suggesting that Trump was “going through a mental meltdown” because of his opponent's popularity.“Not just that she is incredibly accomplished as DA, AG, senator, VP,” she said, “but the fact that she is also very attractive. I mean, I have to say it.“...In addition to that, she's not only a woman, she's a woman of African American Asian descent, daughter of immigrants, Jamaican descent.I mean, it's it's this sort of cauldron of all of the things that Trump has nightmares about every single night.”Watch the video below or click the link here.
