President Trump spoke publicly about Colorado's Tina Peters for the first time since issuing her a so-called "pardon."
Trump did not mention the pardon but did make several false claims about Peters' case.
We unpack them one by one.

Piers Morgan slams his friend Donald Trump over his vile post about Rob Reiner:
“That just crossed every line of basic human decency… This is just unacceptable — when people get murdered, you just show basic respect.”

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?
TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

This man is a monster. He has no human empathy. He is an embarrassment to this country. People lost their jobs and are still being hounded because of much more banal comments about Charlie Kirk.

I’m finding it increasingly hard to report anything delivered by “official sources” in the US. Could be true, could be a coverup, could be completely made up for nefarious ends.
It’s a country now where no one really has any idea what’s actually going on.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.
