Just over half of voters surveyed in a new poll say that President Joe Biden received special treatment during special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into his handling of classified documents. A survey conducted by Reuters/Ipsos found that 53% of the Americans polled agree that “Biden received special treatment because he is the U.S. president.” That majority included 29% of Democrats who agreed with the statement. The four-day-long poll closed on Monday and was released on Tuesday morning. Last Thursday‚ Hur released his report on Biden’s handling of classified documents‚ concluding that there is “evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen‚” but said “no criminal charges are warranted in this matter.” The special counsel also argued that it would be unlikely a jury would convict the 81-year-old Biden of a “serious felony” because of his “mental state‚” describing the president “as a sympathetic‚ well-meaning‚ elderly man with a poor memory.” Of those polled by Reuters/Ipsos‚ nearly half — 46% — said they were at least somewhat familiar with Hur’s less-than-flattering description of Biden. The poll also revealed troubling findings for Biden’s re-election campaign as Reuters reported that 78% of those surveyed‚ including 71% of Democrats‚ believe the president is too old to remain in government. Only 53% of respondents said that 77-year-old Donald Trump is too old to be elected to office. Trump‚ who is in the midst of his own classified documents case‚ said last week that the special counsel’s decision to clear Biden shows “selective persecution.” “If Biden is not going to be charged … that’s up to them‚ but then I should not be charged‚” the former president said. “This is nothing more than selective persecution of Biden’s political opponent‚ me.” Trump was hit with 40 charges over his handling of classified documents after he left office‚ which include charges of obstructing government officials from retrieving the documents. The FBI raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in August 2022 to confiscate the classified documents‚ but Trump has maintained his innocence‚ saying that he is protected by the Presidential Records Act. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Biden addressed the special counsel’s report in a press conference on Thursday evening when he said that the investigation’s conclusion means the classified documents scandal is behind him. During the press conference‚ the president also snapped at reporters who asked him to address the report’s revelations about his memory. Biden responded‚ saying he is “the most qualified person in the United States to be president.” RELATED: 86% Of Americans Say Biden Too Old For Another Term: Poll

At a London theater that used to be a synagogue‚ an Irish comic reportedly turned on a Jewish member of the audience‚ repeatedly yelled‚ “Get the f*** out of here‚” and prompted the audience to repeat the chant “Free Palestine.” Liahav Eitan‚ an Israeli Jew who moved to London five years ago‚ attended a show by Paul Currie on Saturday night at the Soho Theatre as a last-minute time filler before going to a dinner celebration of his 33rd birthday. Near the end of the show‚ Currie unfurled a flag of Ukraine and a flag representing Palestinians‚ exhorting the crowd to make a standing ovation. When Eitan and his friend remained seated‚ Eitan said Currie “lingered” on them for roughly five to ten seconds until Eitan said‚ “Thank you for that Palestine flag.” Eitan told The Daily Mail that Currie — who had attended a pro-Palestine rally hours before — asked Eitan if he was being sarcastic‚ then said something like “Okay‚ well‚ you’re welcome. You’re welcome for the Palestine flag. It was part of the show‚” then added‚ “Did you enjoy the show?” When Eitan answered “Yes‚” Eitan stated‚ Currie started screaming‚ “I’m from Belfast. I know everything about ceasefires. Ceasefire now‚ get the f*** out of my theatre. Get out‚ get the f*** out of my show‚ motherf***ers.” “The only way out was through the stage‚” Eitan recalled. “We had to actually get on the stage quite close to him — and I was quite afraid that he’d throw a punch because he was still cursing and shouting. He got out his Palestine flag again and shouted ‘motherf***er you’ll have to watch it again on your way out.’” Another Jewish member of the audience later told The Daily Beast that “quite a few” audience members stood and shouted‚ “Free Palestine! Free Palestine! Get the f*** out of here.’” He said that Eitan remained calm‚ adding‚ “I think he was incredibly brave because in a room full of 200 people‚ to be able to say ‘I enjoyed the show until you took out the flag’ I thought was incredibly brave.” He called the experience “quite frightening because there were a lot of people sort of screaming at that time.” A Met Police spokesman told The Daily Mail‚ “We are aware of the incident that took place at the Soho Theatre on Saturday evening. We understand why it was upsetting for those involved and we note the venue has issued a statement confirming they are looking into what took place. A report was submitted to police on Monday and inquiries are ongoing.” The Soho Theatre issued the following statement: We are sorry and saddened by an incident that took place at our venue at the end of a performance of Paul Currie: Shtoom on Saturday 10 of February which has caused upset and hurt to members of audience attending and others. We take this very seriously and are looking into the detail of what happened as thoroughly‚ as sensitively‚ and as quickly as we can. It is important to us that Soho Theatre is welcoming and inclusive place for all. Other Jews in the audience left the theater‚ later telling Campaign Against Antisemitism‚ “It felt like we were welcome in the theatre as long as our identities [as] Jews weren’t known‚ and the minute our identities were known‚ we felt threatened.” Campaign Against Antisemitism stated‚ “What the Jewish audience members have recounted is atrocious‚ and we are working with them and our lawyers to ensure that those who instigated and enabled it are held to account. These allegations are of deeply disturbing discriminatory abuse against Jews. Comedians are rightly given broad latitude‚ but hounding Jews out of theatres is reminiscent of humanity’s darkest days‚ and must have no place in central London in 2024.” Picture this: a supposed comedy night at the Soho Theatre‚ London‚ turns into a shocking display of raw antisemitism. The chief architect of this debacle? Comedian Paul Currie. But let's be clear‚ this was no laughing matter. It was a grotesque exhibition of prejudice‚ dressed up… pic.twitter.com/pHubyOdEgf — Darren Grimes (@darrengrimes_) February 12‚ 2024

Singer Katy Perry shocked the audience of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Monday night when she revealed that this will be her last season serving as a judge on “American Idol.” The late-night host set up the announcement by asking Perry how much longer she planned to host the popular reality competition singing show.  “Well‚ you know‚ this fall‚ this September‚ I’m going to be doing this huge music festival in Brazil called Rock in Rio. It’s really exciting‚” the 39-year-old singer replied‚ per The New York Post. “It’s a big deal for people all over the world‚ especially my Brazilian fans.” “So I think this will probably be my last season for ‘Idol‚’” she added‚ which prompted a gasp from the audience.  Perry continued‚ “I love ‘Idol’ so much. It’s connected me with the heart of America. But I need to feel that pulse of my own beat.”  The “Dark Horse” singer has been one of the panelist judges on “Idol” since the show was revived in 2018. She judges alongside Lionel Richie and country artist Luke Bryan. When Kimmel asked how her co-stars reacted to the news‚ Perry indicated they didn’t know yet. “Well‚ they’ll find out tonight‚” she joked. The top-selling musical artist confirmed the announcement later with an Instagram post.  “Let’s play two truths and a lie: 1. I beat @usher at Monopoly Deal. 2. I’m headlining Rock in Rio this September. 3. This is my last season on @americanidol‚” she wrote in the image caption.  Perry’s time on “Idol” hasn’t been without controversy. The “Hot n Cold” singer faced backlash for comments she made to contestants‚ including last March when she reacted strongly to a young mother who told the singer she had three children by the age of 25. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “If Katy lays on the table‚ I think I’m going to pass out‚” contestant Sara Beth Liebe said‚ to which Perry replied‚ “Honey‚ you been laying on the table too much.” Liebe later commented on the exchange‚ saying she found it “embarrassing” and “hurtful” to have had that happen on television.  “Katy Perry made a joke that wasn’t super kind‚” the contestant said. “I think that mom-shaming is super lame and I think that it’s hard enough to be a mom and it’s hard enough to be a woman‚” Liebe added.
