Trump News Live: Latest Twitter Updates As Biden Warns Millions May Lose Unemployment Benefits

More than 331,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus.

States reported a record 120,000 Covid-19 patients who were currently hospitalized on Christmas Eve, according to the Covid Tracking Project. That number broke a record that was just one day old, when more than 119,000 people were hospitalized.

At Christmas, health systems reported nearly 119,000 hospitalized patients.

Trump has continued to rage against Senate Republicans whom he has deemed disloyal, as he continues his failed crusade to overturn the results of the presidential election.

In one thread, he listed a number of false claims and conspiracies about voter fraud, all of which are verifiably false, along with a pretty decent summary of all his current complaints.

After Trump derailed a week-long negotiation between both houses of Congress for a much-needed round of Covid-19 relief over last-minute demands for $ 2,000 checks, his rejection has “confused” lawmakers in Washington, according to reports. Washington Post reports, because they believed that their Secretary of the Treasury, Steven Mnuchin, was the architect of the package on behalf of the White House.

“The position of the chief treasury with many legislators is now in tatters just days before a full-blown crisis occurs,” the newspaper reports.

Millions of Americans will lose at least a week of unemployment benefits without the president’s signature on the package.

Trump’s ally Devin Nunes sued the Washington Post in March on an article that claimed the congressman “told lawmakers last week that Russia wants President Trump to be re-elected, as he believes his administration is more favorable to the interests of the Kremlin, according to people who were briefed. about the comments “.

A ruling by Washington District Judge Amit Mehta this week said the newspaper did not act “with ‘real malice’, that is, with ‘knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not.’

Nunes, the highest-ranking Republican on the House of Representatives intelligence committee, has filed several lawsuits, including a $ 250 million attack on Twitter and its users.

With the deaths of more than 330,000 Americans from Covid-19, the United States has reached a terrible milestone, 10 months in the grip of a public health crisis that has shown no signs of slowing down.

One in every 1,000 Americans has died from the coronavirus, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

On Christmas Eve, more than 120,000 patients, another record number for Americans, were currently hospitalized for the disease.

Donald Trump, while spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, falsely claimed that the state “is fine” in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, while states with Democratic governors are “absolutely ruining the so many people’s lives “with strict blocking measures.

More than 1.2 million Covid-19 infections have been reported in Florida, whose Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is a staunch Trump ally.

Reports from the team’s transition group say President-elect Joe Biden has come to Saint Joseph at Brandywine Roman Catholic Church in Greenville Delaware.

Mr. Biden regularly attends church services and his first wife, daughter, and son were buried there.

He was seen entering just after 4 p.m., when a mass was scheduled to begin.

There was more reaction to Kinzinger’s tweets when Marjorie Taylor Greene, QAnon’s elected representative, also responded.

She tweeted: “How does it feel to be quoted on Twitter with resounding approval by Democrats and progressives while calling yourself ‘Republican’ and saying #RestoreOurGOP?”

“More than 75 million ‘scammers’ know that @realDonaldTrump’s election was stolen,” he added. “Don’t worry, the traitors @ProjectLincoln will donate to you.”

Mr. Kinzinger replied, “Annnnnd case closed.”

CNN anchor Jake Tapper commented: “The House Republican Party has to make a decision about whether it wants to be a part of conservative principles and services like Kinzinger or deranged conspiracy theories and bigotry like Greene. You can’t ‘big disagreements’ like this. “

Following the stream of tweets from Donald Trump on Saturday morning complaining about his electoral defeat, Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois criticized the president for continuing to have a tantrum about it.

He also accused the president of stirring up chaos by “trying to burn down the place” when he leaves office.

“OMG. Trying to burn the place down on the way out because you can’t bear to lose. No evidence, nothing but your tantrum and crazy conspiracies. Shameful,” he wrote, adding the hashtag #RestoreOurGOP.

The frustrated legislator continued with: “All this talk about Jan. 6 from @realDonaldTrump and other congressional scammers is simply explained: they will raise money and gain a following by blaming everyone else knowing full well that they can’t do anything. It’s sad and a total scam. ”

This attracted the support of Congressman Paul Mitchell of Michigan, who recently disenrolled from the Republican Party. He wrote: “It is a scam on an epic scale: hundreds of millions were raised. And if you look at the fine print, little goes to @realDonaldTrump’s legal fund, most to his new PAC. And he has formed a nonprofit organization to employ other of his henchmen. SCAMS! “

Mr. Kinzinger replied, “It’s a scam!”
