Mitch McConnell explains why I will still support Donald Trump
Former President Donald Trump has approved Dr. Mehmet Oz to represent Pennsylvania in the US Senate, angering a number of prominent Republicans.
“I have known Dr. Oz for many years, as well as many others, if only through his very successful television show,” Mr Trump said on Saturday. “He has lived with us across the screen and has always been popular, respected and smart.”
The announcement outraged many conservatives, including a previous Trump-backed candidate for the post.
“I have great respect for President Trump,” tweeted Sean Parnell, who dropped out of the race in November. “It simply came to our notice then. Oz is the opposite of everything that made Trump the best president of my life – he is the most distant thing from America in the first place and would be very bad for the PA. “
The US State Department, meanwhile, says Donald Trump and other White House officials have left office without providing a record of gifts they have received from foreign governments.
And while investigators continue to investigate the Capitol riot in 2021, a prominent MAGA activist said he would speak. Ali Alexander, the organizer of several “Stop the Theft” rallies protesting the 2020 elections, will co-operate in the January 6th uprising’s investigation into the Justice Ministry’s uprising, his lawyer said.
