The Trump critic was therefore indicted in April; he is accused of threatening the life of President Trump.

Last year, Comey published a now-deleted post on Instagram that, made of shells, shows the numbers 86 and 47. Trump then explained that the number 86 stood for “kill” and the number 47 indicated that he was the 47th President of the United States. “This meant murder, and that comes through loud and clear,” Trump said.

Shortly before the planned fight spectacle in front of the White House, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed a declaration of intent for a partnership with the professional league Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), known for martial cage fights. According to the Foreign Ministry, the aim is to strengthen initiatives in the area of ​​“sports diplomacy” and to work together to expand mixed martial arts (MMA) worldwide.

The UFC is the largest professional league for MMA, a combat sport that is particularly popular in the USA and combines various disciplines. At the signing with its boss, ardent Trump supporter Dana White, Rubio described the UFC as the “United Nations of fighting, considering how many countries are represented.” The sport brings together spectators from different backgrounds.

Jacob Reses, Vice President JD Vance’s chief of staff, will leave the administration at the end of the summer. People close to the Vice President’s office reported this to NBC News on Thursday.

Reses, who has held this position since Vance and President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, informed Vance of his plans several months ago after his wife became pregnant with their first child. It is not yet known what career plans he will pursue afterwards.
