The FBI issued a warning Saturday about two false videos circulating online that "relate to election security."

One of the videos falsely claims the FBI apprehended "three linked groups committing ballot fraud" and another was related to second gentleman Doug Emhoff, according to the agency.

"These videos are not authentic, are not from the FBI and the content they depict is false," the FBI said in a statement posted on X.

Trump again calls for Cheney to be sent to war, doesn't disavow MSG vulgar comments

Former President Donald Trump called into "Fox and Friends" Saturday morning, where the conservative outlet gave him the avenue to air out his personal grievances over laying out his closing message.

Trump again brought up former House member Liz Cheney and blamed media outlets for taking his words out of context as he doubled down on his attacks on her.

"'I said, put a gun in her hand and let her go out and let her face the enemy with a gun in her hand, and they'll have nine people or 12 people or 100 people.' I said, 'Let's see how she stands up. Because I say she wouldn't have the guts to do it,'" the former president claimed.

Trump also defended himself against criticism of the comedian at his MSG rally who made discriminatory remarks about Puerto Rico. However, he did not condemn the statements but downplayed the opening act of his rally.

"They made this one comedian telling one little joke early in the show when nobody had even started going into the arena practice. They made this comedian, and they made the whole weekend," he said.

The former president did not mention or disavow similar racist comments made by other speakers at the MSG rally.

Harris slams Johnson over statement on repealing CHIPS act

Vice President Kamala Harris seized on Speaker Mike Johnson’s comment that a Republican majority in the next Congress "probably will" repeal the CHIPS and Science Act.

"It is just further evidence of everything that I've actually been talking about for months now, about Trump's intention to implement Project 2025," Harris said during a news conference in Milwaukee Saturday. "We have talked repeatedly—and the American people know what's in it—we have talked repeatedly about their intention to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, now to get rid of the CHIPS Act."

Johnson later backtracked on his comment claiming he misheard the question posed by a student journalist at an event in upstate New York.

"Well, let’s be clear why he walked it back because it’s not popular and their agenda is not popular," the vice president said. "And that’s why people are showing up by the thousands, tens of thousands, to talk about an agenda that actually is focused on lifting them up."
