Grand Jury Takes Up Trump Criminal Probe and Trump Is Not Handling It All That Well

Less than two weeks after New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that both the New York and Manhattan investigations into the Trump Organization had escalated to criminal, rather than civil, investigations, reports broke that Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance has convened a grand jury.

The latest escalation of the years-long investigation suggests that Vance believes he has enough evidence to charge the Trump Organization, its executives, or even former President Donald Trump himself with a crime.


Over the course of the investigation, Vance has gained access to Trump's long-withheld financial records after years of litigation.

Trump exploded at the news on his personal blog, recycling his go-to list of phrases like "witch hunt" and "hoax."

The lengthy statement reads in part:

"This is a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in American history. It began the day I came down the escalator in Trump Tower, and it's never stopped. They wasted two years and $48 million in taxpayer dollars on Mueller and Russia Russia Russia, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, and it continues to this day, with illegally leaked confidential information."

The pity party continued:

"No other President in history has had to put up with what I have had to, and on top of all that, I have done a great job for our Country, whether it's taxes, regulations, our Military, Veterans, Space Force, our Borders, speedy creation of a great vaccine (said to be a miracle!), and protecting the Second Amendment."

The grand jury will sit for three days a week for six months, the Washington Post reports, and will likely consider charges on several criminal investigations.

Trump has repeatedly decried any attempts to hold him accountable as a "continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in American history." He did so with his second impeachment, with the Supreme Court decision to grant access to his tax returns, and now with the impaneling of a grand jury in the Manhattan criminal investigation.

Judging by Trump's reaction, some suspect Vance has got his witch.




The news of the grand jury made waves across social media.





It's going to be a long six months.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
