Omer Shem Tov was a Hamas hostage who said the terrorists would discuss politics. They were scared of Donald Trump and were rooting for Kamala Harris. After Donald Trump won, they treated the hostages better. They fed them more. They stopped cursing him and spitting on him.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he will “look at” issuing pardons for two men convicted of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020. Trump floated the potential pardons while taking questions from reporters in the Oval Office. The president said that he thought the two men – Barry Croft, 49, and Adam Fox, 42 – may have been “railroaded” by the FBI and prosecutors. “I will take a look at it. It’s been brought to my attention. I did watch the trial. It looked to me like somewhat of a railroad job, I’ll be honest with you,” said Trump. “It looked to me like some people said some stupid things, you know. They were drinking, and I think they said stupid things, but I’ll take a look at that.” “A lot of people are asking me that question from both sides, actually. A lot of people think they got railroaded. A lot of people think they got railroaded, and probably some people don’t,” he added. Q: “Will you pardon the people who are accused of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer”” President Trump: “I will take a look at it. It’s been brought to my attention.

Croft was found guilty of an additional weapons charge. Croft was sentenced to just under 20 years in prison with an additional five years of supervised release. Fox was sentenced to 16 years in prison with five years supervised release.

The two men were convicted on their second trial after the first ended in a mistrial. At the first trial, two other alleged co-conspirators, Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta, were acquitted after their attorneys argued that the FBI tactics used during the investigation amounted to entrapment. Two other men, Ty Garbin and Kaleb Franks, had earlier pleaded guilty in connection with the conspiracy. Much of the controversy around the FBI investigation into the plot to kidnap the governor revolved around two confidential human sources used by the FBI to gather evidence, Jenny Plunk and Steve Robeson. Both smoked marijuana with Croft during the investigation, a federal crime. Plunk also shared a hotel room with Croft at one point, raising further questions about the limits of the behavior of confidential human sources. At one point during the investigation, the alleged conspiracists appeared to be headed for a split until FBI agent Christopher Long stepped in. Long directed Plunk to try to keep the group of men together.

The White House plans to send its first rescissions package of the year to the Congress next week, President Donald Trump’s budget chief announced on Wednesday, aiming to gut programs that Republicans view as being wasteful and partisan. Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), said during an interview on Fox Business that the request to claw back funds appropriated by Congress will be delivered to the House on Monday or Tuesday, whenever the lower chamber is back in session. The package will focus on removing “waste and garbage” for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and foreign aid, Vought told host Larry Kudlow. Vought noted the package will also target NPR and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CBP). NPR just sued Trump over his executive order for ending “taxpayer subsidization” of outlets presenting “biased and partisan” news coverage. In particular, the directive seeks to end funds to NPR and PBS through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CBP). ? @WHOMB Director @RussVought47 confirms that President Trump’s first rescissions package — clawing back wasteful spending in USAID, foreign aid, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and NPR — will be sent to Congress next week. pic.twitter.com/wBZp1lciat — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) May 28, 2025 Axios reported that the rescissions package is expected to cover $9.4 billion and, once delivered, lawmakers will have 45 days to approve it. Vought noted how the measure can be passed by the House and Senate with a simple majority, meaning the filibuster will not be in play. “We’ve had good conversations to make sure they knew it was coming,” Vought said. “They had some input as to some of the changes that could be made to make it something that could pass the House. And we’re excited for that to occur next week.” Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has listed rescissions as being one of two actions the House will take based on findings from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, led by Elon Musk, in addition to using the appropriations process to “swiftly implement” Trump’s proposed 2026 budget. “When the White House sends its rescissions package to the House, we will act quickly by passing legislation to codify the cuts,” Johnson said in a Wednesday post on X. During his appearance on Fox Business, Vought also defended the version of Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill” narrowly passed by the House last week after Musk warned it “undermines” DOGE’s cost-cutting efforts because it risks further increasing the federal deficit, which has already surpassed $1 trillion in recent years. “We have been in the process of getting the most important priority done, and that is the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ … we are in the business of actually passing a law,” Vought said. “It has $1.6 trillion in actual, mandatory savers for the first time ever.”
