Lame-duck President Donald Trump spoke to the nation on Friday afternoon, his first public comments since Joe Biden was projected the winner of the 2020 presidential race. Trump’s remarks, made from the White House’s Rose garden, were typical: he overstated his administration’s role in the recent positive news on a possible coronavirus vaccine and continued to deny reality, refusing to acknowledge that he lost the election.
Trump praised his virus vaccine initiative, Operation Warp Speed, for its part in the funding of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine, which the...

President Donald Trump made a rare Sunday morning address to the nation shortly after 9 a.m. Et to announce the killing of Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in a two-hour Us-led raid in Northern Syria.
“He was a sick and depraved man, and now he’s gone,” Trump said.
The major broadcast networks broke into regular programming to deliver Trump’s remarks from the Diplomatic Room of the White House.
The news sent the Sunday morning public affairs shows scrambling to deal with the impact of the death of the world’s most wanted terrorist. NBC News carried an hourlong special report that was anchored by “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd, who was already in place for his regular Sunday morning duties in the 9 a.m. Et hour.
“It is important. He was the leader of the group, he was the symbol of the group, he was the founder of the group,...

The comedian wanted people to laugh. But not all the time. Sometimes, not at all.
Ryan Reiss typically spends his evenings warming up studio audiences for Seth Meyers’ “Late Night” show. Big guffaws are in demand. On recent Friday evenings, however, Reiss has held forth in a different studio at NBC’s 30 Rockefeller Plaza headquarters, asking visitors to clap and show their energy – yet remain mindful that some moments of the program they are about to see won’t be very funny.
Some may get them angry. No matter what you hear, he reminds them, keep in mind one rule: No booing.
On these Fridays, in the studio once reserved for Megyn Kelly’s morning program, MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes bounds out from backstage and offers – while standing on a set festooned with elaborate video walls – an energetic monologue. He then presents lively conversation and visits with guests like Richard Engel,...

Viewers tuning in this week to watch Don Lemon after 11 p.m. on CNN may have been surprised. During his second hour on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, he wasn’t even on the screen.
Instead, Laura Coates, a fill-in host and one of the network’s legal analysts, was holding forth on a show called “White House in Crisis: The Impeachment Inquiry.” The program came complete with a round of guests – former “Meet the Press” anchor David Gregory and former U.S Attorney Preet Bharara among them – and even a segment called “Laura’s Case,” during which the former federal attorney explores a legal theory as the U.S. House’s burgeoning inquiry recent disclosures around some of President Trump’s actions moves forward.
There’s no Lemon squeeze going on. CNN has been known to air “pop up” concepts that adhere more closely to the subject matter of extraordinary news cycles,...

Bill Maher may be the only prominent political commentator in America who is loudly and proudly rooting for a recession. The acerbic host of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher knows that a major recession would sabotage the U.S. economy but he says it would be well worth it if the downturn also torpedoed the reelection bid by President Donald J. Trump.
“We have survived recessions, we can survive another one,” Maher said. “I don’t think we can survive another [White House term for] Trump.”
The national mood doesn’t lend itself to carefree levity in this grim moment in time but, on the other hand, these have been banner days for political absurdity and cynical venom, two of Maher’s hallmark skills. And on Friday night’s Real Time with Bill Maher the host doubled down on those reliable favorites by savaging Trump for his laziness,...

No witch hunt, no Russia hoax, no press leaks from his office and, seemingly more often than not, no comment: Those were among the highlights of this afternoon’s Robert Mueller testimony before the House Intelligence Committee.
Mueller testified before the House Judiciary Committee this morning focusing on the topic of obstruction of justice; this afternoon’s hearing before Intelligence focused on Russia collusion.
Declining or deferring answers to his report more than 200 times today (by CNN’s count), Mueller wouldn’t be baited by Congressional Republicans into discussing Fusion Gps or the Steele Dossier, but the 74-year-old Mueller was blunt in rejecting President Donald Trump’s catch-phrase description of the his investigation as a witch hunt or Russia’s interference in the election that got Trump elected as a hoax.

Richard Engel and his wife Mary are coping with their 2-year-old son Henry’s devastating diagnosis with Rett Syndrome —and hoping that medical research may lead to a breakthrough before their son experiences the onset of more serious symptoms.
Rett Syndrome is a rare genetic neurological disorder that leads to severe physical and cognitive impairments. “My son is probably not going to walk, probably not going to speak, probably not going to have any mental capacity beyond the level of a 2-year-old,” says Engel, 44, NBC News’ Chief Foreign Correspondent, in the new issue of People, on stands Friday.
But as Dr.

Richard Engel was embedded with troops in South Korea last fall, preoccupied with talk of a possible North Korean missile test, when he got word that his 2-year-old son Henry’s doctor needed to speak with him.
The NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent and his wife Mary had first spotted developmental delays in their son more than a year prior, eventually turning to genetic testing, and this would be their long-awaited results. But the broadcaster says he was not prepared for the news he received: His son has Rett Syndrome, a rare genetic neurological disorder that leads to severe physical and cognitive impairments.
