Wednesday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, a former Fox News host... Pirro told host Laura Ingraham that one of the biggest obstacles she is confronted with is her ability to charge suspects, given their young age. She called for lowering the age of responsibility to 14 so she could prosecute some underage suspects. PIRRO: ...And I spoke to the president yesterday at length about what was going on here. I said, if you’re 14, 15, 16 or 17 years old, you get coddled, as you do in most American Democrat cities. So, I can’t charge these people. This young kid who worked at the White House was beaten to a pulp. He’s got a broken nose. He’s got a severe concussion. He’s battered all over his head, OK, by a gang of thug — punks. 10 of them, I believe. Two have been arrested, two 15 year olds. None of them come to my office, Laura, because they’re not considered criminals. They go to family court, where the effort is rehabilitation. The D.C. Council and the president is right; they’ve got to stop their coddling. PIRRO: Well, here’s the thing, D.C. is the nation’s Capitol. People come here for pride and patriotism, not to get assaulted, carjacked or shot, get caught in a crossfire like a young kid did a couple last month. President Donald Trump confirmed that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin would be meeting in Alaska next Friday. “The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” A “senior White House official” told the outlet that the planning for the meeting “is still fluid,” adding that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky could possibly “end up being involved in some way.” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared a statement with Breitbart News, expressing that Trump was “open to meeting” with both Putin and Zelensky. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/08/08/trump-confirms-upcoming-meeting-with-putin-in-alaska/ “On Monday a Press Conference will be held at the White House which will, essentially, stop violent crime in Washington, D.C. It has become one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World. It will soon be one of the safest!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT,” Trump wrote. The announcement comes after a series of recent federal actions in response to violent incidents in the city. On August 7, Trump ordered federal law enforcement agencies — including the U.S. Park Police, FBI, DEA, ATF, and divisions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement — to patrol D.C. for seven days. The move followed the assault of Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old software engineer and member of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)... Trump has repeatedly raised the possibility of taking federal control of Washington, D.C., citing concerns about youth crime and calling for changes to city law to allow minors as young as 14 to be prosecuted as adults for certain violent offenses. The District has operated under home rule since 1973, with limited self-governance granted by Congress. On Friday Scott announced the introduction of the Preventing Remote Operations by Threatening Entities on Critical Technology for the Grid (PROTECT the Grid) Act, a bill aimed at investigating potential vulnerabilities in the U.S. electric grid from certain internet-connected appliances and devices linked to foreign adversaries. The legislation directs the Department of Commerce, in coordination with other federal officials, to submit a report to Congress within 270 days assessing the risks posed by high-wattage Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices and associated applications controlled by foreign entities. Such devices include smart ovens, laundry machines, electric vehicle chargers, water heaters, and air conditioners with the capacity to consume or control more than 500 watts of power. According to the bill, applications developed by companies operating under the jurisdiction or influence of foreign adversaries could be used to manipulate power demand on a large scale, potentially destabilizing the U.S. electric grid. The legislation cites research from Princeton University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of California, Santa Cruz, warning of “MaDIoT” attacks, which could use coordinated demand manipulation through IoT devices to potentially trigger blackouts or cause grid damage. Scott said in a statement that the bill seeks to “secure our grid” and “stop a foreign dictatorship from holding American citizens hostage through their own appliances.” President Donald Trump announced Friday that the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan officially signed a peace agreement he oversaw in the Oval Office, marking the seventh global conflict he has settled in as many months. “The countries of Armenia and Azerbaijan are committing to stop all fighting forever, open up commerce, travel, and diplomatic relations, and respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” he added. The countries have agreed to what will be called the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” to allow Azerbaijan “full access” to Nakhichevan, which sits to the southwest of Armenia. “This declaration establishes what they are calling–a great honor for me, I didn’t ask for this–the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, which is a special transit area that will allow Azerbaijan to get full access to its territory of Nakhichevan, while fully respecting Armenia’s sovereignty,” Trump said. The U.S. is also entering into bilateral agreements with both nations to broaden partnerships on trade, energy, and technology, including artificial intelligence, according to Trump. The two leaders hailed Trump for brokering the peace deal to end the 35-year-long conflict.
