Biden celebrates arrest of Sinaloa leader 'El Mayo' and El Chapo's son in Texas

President Joe Biden has responded to the arrest of two of the world's most notorious drug traffickers in Texas on Thursday night.

Mexican drug kingpin El Chapo's son 'lured' cartel boss Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada into boarding a plane to the US after 'blaming him for the capture of his father', as both men were arrested.

According to the Wall Street Journal, he was tricked by El Chapo's son Joaquín Guzman Lopez into boarding a private plane to inspect airfields for drug planes following a months-long operation by Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI.

Biden said:

Yesterday, the Department of Justice arrested Ismael Zambada Garcia (AKA 'El Mayo') and Joaquin Guzman Lopez, two of the most notorious leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the deadliest enterprises in the world.
They are being charged for leading the Cartel’s deadly drug manufacturing and trafficking networks.
I commend the work of our law enforcement officials, who made this arrest, for their ongoing work to bring Sinaloa Cartel leaders to justice.
Too many of our citizens have lost their lives to the scourge of fentanyl. Too many families have been broken and are suffering because of this destructive drug. My Administration will continue doing everything we can to hold deadly drug traffickers to account and to save American lives.

The FBI is planning to interview Donald Trump after his assassination attempt to get a victim statement, reports claim.

The bureau is still investigating the shooting at the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally on July 13 and collecting evidence, CNN reported

Director Christopher Wray sparked a firestorm on Wednesday when he told Congress they are still analyzing whether Trump’s ear was hit by a bullet or piece of shrapnel.

In a furious post on Truth Social, Trump blasted Wray's suggestion and took aim at his judgment on other topical issues - including Biden's mental state.

'FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress yesterday that he wasn’t sure if I was hit by shrapnel, glass, or a bullet (the FBI never even checked!),' he fumed.

'But he was sure that Crooked Joe Biden was physically and cognitively “uneventful” - Wrong! That’s why he knows nothing about the terrorists and other criminals pouring into our Country at record levels.

'His only focus is destroying J6 Patriots, Raiding Mar-a-Lago, and saving Radical Left Lunatics, like the ones now in D.C. burning American flags and spray painting over our great National Monuments - with zero retribution.

'No, it was, unfortunately, a bullet that hit my ear, and hit it hard. There was no glass, there was no shrapnel.’

The victim interview is standard procedure during an FBI investigation.

What Netanyahu really thought of Kamala Harris

Benjamin Netanyahu was reportedly upset when he saw Kamala Harris' public statement after their meeting on Thursday.

The Israeli Prime Minister was 'irked' by the Vice President's tone which his officials said was more critical of than she had been in private, Axios reported.

It followed a 40-minute private meeting.

That was Harris' first meeting with a foreign leader since launching her presidential campaign.

Donald Trump backs off on presidential debate with Kamala Harris due to Democratic Party 'chaos' - sparking immediate taunt from the VP

Donald Trump has backed out of debating Kamala Harris citing Democratic party 'chaos' - after promising to the showdown 'anytime, anyplace.'

The former president had initially said on Tuesday he would 'absolutely' debate Harris after Joe Biden dropped out of the race - as his vice president, Harris, was likely to replace him.

But on Thursday night Trump backed away from the September 10 faceoff which he already had scheduled with Biden, or organizing a new one - at least until Harris is confirmed as the Democratic nominee.

'What happened to "any time, any place"?' Harris wrote on Twitter immediately after Trump backed out.

Steven Cheung, the campaign's communications director, claimed Democrats were in too much 'chaos' since Biden abandoned his reelection bid.

Amber Rose reveals which of her very famous exes encouraged her to endorse Trump

Amber Rose, the model and actress who was likely the Republican National Convention's most unconventional speaker, explained who gave her the push to out herself as a Donald Trump fan.

Rose sat down for a taping of conservative commentator Candace Owens' YouTube show, which will be released in full on Friday.

In clips obtained by DailyMail.com, Rose said it was ex-husband, rapper Wiz Khalifa, who pushed her to publicly show her support for Trump.

She did so on social media in May, writing 'Trump 2024' as a caption of a photo of the model with the former president and first lady, all in formalwear.

'My ex-husband actually told me to do it, Wiz,' Rose told Owens.
