Media Miss by the right: Trump says he has ‘no idea’ why he underwent an MRI

Questions still linger over why Trump underwent an MRI during his annual physical last month. It’s a test that drew questions and concern for the 79-year-old’s health because it’s not usually part of a standard checkup.

When asked about it by reporters on Air Force One over the weekend, Trump said, “I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well and they said that I had as good a result as they’ve ever seen.”

No additional details have been provided by the White House or Walter Reed medical staff.

Media Miss by the left: FBI flagged Jack Smith-Wray meeting as ‘significant case notification’

Internal FBI documents show former Special Counsel Jack Smith met with then-FBI Director Christopher Wray during his investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol attack  and the 2020 election – the probe known internally as Arctic Frost.

The bureau logged  the meeting as a “significant case notification,” an internal designation used to alert FBI senior leadership and field offices about  cases with high public interest or heightened sensitivity.

Neither Smith nor the FBI have commented on the substance of the discussion.
