Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that when it comes to President Biden, "the real president is the teleprompter." He made the remarks on a video episode of The All-In Podcast.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is asking Twitter executives about a resurfaced Hillary Clinton campaign tweet that he considers a "hoax."

Musk was responding to a Twitter user on Friday asking him about a previous tweet by the Hillary Clinton campaign which purports to have "uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank"

"@elonmusk I have reported this tweet as misleading disinformation to the powers that be at @twitter. I would be interested to know if, when you receive control over the company, anything was done with this at any level. Pls advise soonest," one Twitter user asked.

Musk said that the person is "absolutely correct" that Clinton's tweet is "misleading disinformation."

"You are absolutely correct. That tweet is a Clinton campaign hoax for which their campaign lawyer is undergoing a criminal trial," Musk said in response, linking a BBC article with the headline "Michael Sussmann: Clinton lawyer 'lied to manipulate FBI over Trump.'"

Musk's comments come after he made an appearance on the All-In Podcast, stating that he will vote for Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.

Twitter accepted Musk's offer accepted Musk's offer to buy the company on April 25, but the social media giant has come under fierce scrutiny by Musk over the company's true number of spam accounts, which the Tesla CEO thinks is much higher than Twitter claims.

"20% fake/spam accounts, while 4 times what Twitter claims, could be *much* higher. My offer was based on Twitters SEC filings being accurate. Yesterday, Twitters CEO publicly refused to show proof of <5%. This deal cannot move forward until he does," Musk tweeted.

Elon Musk asks Twitter execs about resurfaced Hillary Clinton tweet - Fox Business

Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Joran joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to react to former Clinton Campaign manager Robby Mook testifying that then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton approved the distribution of materials to the media linking the Trump Organization to a Russian bank.

According to Rep. Jordan, this was all part of a plot by the Democrats to smear and bring down Donald Trumps campaign in the lead up to the 2016 presidential election.

You make it all up. You get Glenn Simpson to peddle it to the press. You get Michael Sussmann, whos working for you as your campaign lawyer, to take it to the FBI. And then you act like, oh, we dont know where this came from. And the thing thats getting kind of old, but we keep saying it, but its getting kind of old is, we told everyone this years ago that this is what was going on. And of course, oh, no, no. We were the ones supposedly peddling disinformation and making things up when in fact, it was them who did it all along. And frankly, the only thing we were kind of wrong about was it was a little bit worse than we even thought. Everyone was in on this. Now, the one concern I have with what Durham is doing is that I think the FBI had to know. And it seems like the FBI is getting off easy here. How does Jim Baker not know when Sussmann brought him this information that this wasnt coming from the Clinton campaign? So thats the one thing that concerns me a little bit.

Plus, Rep. Jordan shares his thoughts on the many crises facing the Biden administration, including record-high gas prices, soaring inflation and rampant crime in major American cities. Listen to the podcast to hear what else he had to say!

Rep. Jim Jordan: The FBI Must Have Known About The Latest Bombshell Revelation Regarding Hillary Clinton And Her 2016 Campaign - FOX News Radio

Who needs to spend millions on television commercials or Facebook ads if youve got friends in the FBI who can pull off a political dirty trick for you?

Just look how cozy Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann and FBI general counsel James A. Baker are in text messages revealed in Thursdays testimony at Sussmanns trial.

Can you meet tomorrow, Sussmann asks the high-ranking government official. OK, I will find a time, Baker answers. Does he need help getting into the building? No, Sussmann answers, I have a badge to get into the Federal Bureau of Investigation. How convenient.

It was during this meeting that Sussmann peddled the false story that Donald Trump was secretly communicating with a Russian bank.

Sussmann obviously is guilty of the crime of which special counsel John Durham accuses him, lying to the FBI, despite his claims otherwise. He specifically says to Baker that hes not coming in on behalf of any client or company when he was working for Clinton.

But are we really to believe Baker didnt know that Sussmann a well-known Democratic lawyer who can drop by the FBI at the drop of a hat was a biased tipster? Worse, when Baker passes Sussmanns story to FBI agents, he doesnt tell them where its coming from, allowing the lawyer anonymity even as an investigation finds his tale is garbage.

Durham is pursuing a narrow indictment, but what hes exposing is far larger. An unethical Clinton campaign, a biased government bureaucracy, and an insouciant class of Beltway insiders who figured they could get away with anything.

The inspiration behind Blake Lively, Kim Kardashian's Met Gala gowns

The Met Gala returned to the first Monday in May, and USA TODAY's Anika Reed was on the red carpet as the stars arrived to the "gilded glamour" bash.

Entertain This!, USA TODAY

For the first time in 21years, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attended the Met Gala in early May.

Soon after, a picture began circulating online showing Clinton with a dress covered in names.

Since her appearance at the annual event, the dress she wore has garnered attention on social media, including onephoto of Clinton in her gown posted to Facebook that was shared more than 2,000 times in four days.

The photoshows Clinton walking the red carpet in her off-the-shoulder wine-colored dress with the names of conspiracy theories and individuals like Jeffery Epstein, JFK Jr.andPaula Jones writtenon top of her dress.

Various posts with the photo were shared thousands of times on social media.

Clinton's actual dress did have names subtly stitched on it, of dozens of famous women. But this picture was digitally manipulated to reference an array of conspiracy theories around Clinton, including baseless claims connecting the deaths of various people close to her and former President Bill Clinton.

Commenters generally recognized the image as modifiedbut seized on the photo to resurface an array of claims about those conspiracy theories.

USA TODAY reached out to the userwho shared theclaim for comment.

Photos from the Met Gala show that Clinton's dress did not feature these names.

The dress Clinton wore did have 60 names embroidered onto it of famous women who inspire her,includingLady Bird Johnson,Clara Barton andHarriet Tubman.

The names featured on the dress in the modifiedimage are ones Clinton is often tied to on social media as part of the baselessClinton body count conspiracy theory: the idea that the Clintons secretly killed their political enemies.

For years, fact-checking and news organizations have debunked claims of this nature, but that hasn't stopped their consistent spread online.

The theory has a long history, dating back to 1993, when Linda Thompson, an Indianapolis lawyer and militia movement activist, created a list of 34 people connected to the Clintons who had died.

For example,Vince Foster, a former Clinton associate who died by suicide, was included in both Thompson's list from 1993 and the altered image of the dress that circulated on Facebook.

In 2016, Vox detailed why the Foster conspiracy theory had no basis in fact: Foster was found in a park with a bullet in his head and a gun in his hand, and both the U.S. Park Police and the FBI said he died by suicide.

Jefferey Epsteins name is also featured on the dress multiple times,a nod to the connections between Bill Clinton and Epstein. After Epstein's death in 2019,conspiracy theories spread onlineconnecting his death to Hillary Clinton.Days after his death, the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examinersaid his cause of death was suicide by hanging.

Based on our research, we rate SATIRE the claim thatHillary Clinton wore a dress to the Met Gala with names of people and conspiracy theories. The photo was digitally manipulated to include names of individuals from thebaseless Clinton body count conspiracy theory and other conspiracy theories surrounding Clinton. Fact checkers and news organizations have repeatedly debunked the claims that the Clintons are to blame for an array of deaths.

Fact check: Hillary Clinton Met Gala dress included tribute to women - USA TODAY

A federal judge in the criminal trial of Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann denied a prosecution request Thursday to remove a juror whose daughter plays on the same high school sports team as the defendants daughter.

A woman, identified as Juror #5, came forward Thursday morning to tell the court that she only recently discovered that her daughter and Mr. Sussmanns daughter play on the same high school crew team.

The juror told U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper that she was unaware of the connection when she filled out a jury questionnaire last week. The juror stressed that the daughters are not friends and there is at least a three-year age gap between the two.

She also said it was a large crew team with over 40 students, adding that she has never met Mr. Sussmann or his wife. She emphasized that she could still be fair and impartial and has no other ties to the defendant.

Prosecutors immediately moved to strike the juror, saying they would have asked her to be removed from the jury pool had they known of the connection.

Our position is that she should not stay on the jury, Brittain Shaw, a federal prosecutor in the case, said.

Sean Berkowitz, defense attorney, said the woman should stay, noting that she never met Mr. Sussmann and did not know him.

There is no reason she cant sit as a fair and impartial juror, Mr. Berkowitz said.

Judge Cooper agreed that the juror should remain, saying notifying the court of the connection shows that she can be impartial.

The connection is not so close that it affects her impartiality, he said. She did not know the connection, unfortunately, when she filled out the questionnaire.

Judge Cooper said bringing the connection to the courts attention shows she is conscientious and takes her obligations as a juror seriously.

As a senior, her daughter is probably out of there anyway, he said.

Judge Cooper was criticized last week for allowing three Hillary Clinton campaign donors, including one who also donated to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, to remain in the jury pool.

Others in the jury pool who were allowed to remain included people who worked the phone banks for the Clinton campaign or said they had strong views about the outcome of the 2016 election.

One potential juror told the court that she thought law enforcement was racist because the FBI dismantled the Black Panther movement.

None of the individuals who donated to the Clinton campaign nor the woman who objected to the FBI made the jury.
