Trump accuses Schumer of trying to ‘interfere in our elections’ with latest strategy

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The partisan battle over midterm elections is heating up in Washington, D.C., with accusations flying that both sides are trying to rig the outcome in November.
Republicans are trying to hold on to their majority in both chambers, while Democrats are trying to pounce on sluggish legislating, infighting and rising costs in their quest to take over the House, Senate or both.
And President Donald Trump is already accusing Democrats of election interference months before Election Day.
SCHUMER, DEMS LAUNCH ‘FREE AND FAIR’ ELECTIONS TASK FORCE AS TRUMP’S SAVE AMERICA ACT STUMBLES

«The Democrats are totally unhinged, and we will not allow them to threaten the integrity of our Elections,» Trump said on Truth Social.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Democrats recently launched a «free and fair elections task force» that would recruit the likes of former Attorney General Eric Holder and Marc Elias, who Trump charged was «a terrible lawyer with a horrible track record.»
«Palestinian Chuck Schumer is hiring Eric Holder, famous for handing guns to Mexican cartels under the Barack Hussein Obama administration, as part of a Democrat-led ‘Election Integrity Group’ that will no doubt try to suppress Republican voters, and interfere in our Elections,» Trump said on Truth Social.
Schumer and Senate Democrats debuted the elections task force as Republicans struggle to move forward on voter ID and citizenship verification legislation, and on the heels of the Supreme Court’s redistricting decision that is expected to further crank up the redistricting arms race across the country.

«Donald Trump and the Republicans realize that if the election were held fairly, that the likelihood is that they would lose, and we would win, that we would take back the House, take back the Senate,» Schumer said.
«So they are doing all kinds of nefarious things, some of them legal, some of them not so legal, to try and overturn a fair result in an election,» he continued.
Schumer described the task force’s mission as seeking out «election threats,» including actions at the administrative level by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), attacks on the First Amendment, foreign threats and militarization of law enforcement at the polls.
Trump countered that in the 2024 election cycle, Republicans mounted an «Election Integrity Army in every single State to preserve the sanctity of each legal vote.»
«We will be doing the same again in 2026, but it will be much bigger and stronger,» Trump said. «All Americans should have their voices be heard by casting a vote. Be assured this Election will be fair!»
Its inception is in response to what Democrats say is a «comprehensive effort» by Trump and his administration to undermine the upcoming election, particularly through efforts to pass the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act.
TWO DOZEN HOUSE REPUBLICANS GO TO WAR WITH SENATE GOP OVER SAVE AMERICA ACT

Trump has strongly pushed Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act, which would create federal voter ID laws, require proof of citizenship to register to vote and share information on voter rolls with DHS. Democrats say the legislation would disenfranchise millions of Americans.
But Republicans aren’t unified behind the legislation. The SAVE America Act, or a version of it pushed by Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., failed last month when four Republicans joined Democrats to kill it.
He has also called on Republicans to nationalize elections, and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin didn’t rule out sending federal immigration agents to polling places in the fall during his confirmation hearing earlier this year.

It’s part of what Democrats charge is a concerted effort to tip the scales in the upcoming elections.
«Donald Trump doesn’t think he did too much in 2020 to steal the election,» Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said. «He thinks he did too little, and so that’s why you are seeing, already, a comprehensive effort to try to rig and steal the fall election.»

Ucrania golpea objetivos energéticos de Rusia y niega haber atacado la planta nuclear de Zaporiyia

Ucrania lanzó nuevos ataques contra instalaciones energéticas rusas durante la noche hasta el domingo, informaron autoridades y medios rusos, mientras Kiev negaba las afirmaciones de Rusia de que un dron ucraniano golpeó la central nuclear de Zaporiyia, ocupada por el Kremlin.
Restos de un dron provocaron un incendio en una instalación de almacenamiento de combustible en la región rusa de Rostov, en el suroeste del país, informó el gobernador Yuriy Slyusar en Telegram el domingo. Indicó que se evacuó a residentes de viviendas cercanas.
Los drones también dañaron infraestructura civil en la provincia de Saratov, en el suroeste de Rusia, según el gobernador Roman Busargin. Astra, un canal independiente de noticias ruso, señaló que una refinería de petróleo estaba en llamas en la capital regional, Saratov.
El Estado Mayor General de Ucrania confirmó este domingo que drones ucranianos habían atacado la refinería de petróleo de Saratov, provocando un “incendio a gran escala”. Indicó que se estaba aclarando el alcance de los daños y afirmó que la refinería ha estado abasteciendo el esfuerzo bélico de Moscú.
La refinería pertenece a la empresa estatal rusa de petróleo, Rosneft, y produce diésel y gasolina, entre otros tipos de combustible. Las autoridades rusas no hicieron comentarios adicionales de inmediato.
Ucrania ha redoblado en los últimos meses sus ataques contra instalaciones de petróleo y gas de Rusia, ya que sostiene que el sector energético financia y alimenta directamente la invasión de Moscú, que ya supera los cuatro años.
Mientras tanto, Kiev negó las afirmaciones de Rusia de que un dron ucraniano impactó la central nuclear de Zaporiyia, ocupada por Rusia, la mayor de Ucrania y de Europa.
Las fuerzas rusas capturaron la planta en las primeras semanas de la guerra, y la central permanece cerca de las líneas del frente en la región sureña de Zaporiyia, una de las cuatro que Rusia se ha anexionado formalmente a pesar de que no tiene el control militar total ni reconocimiento internacional para sus acciones.
La empresa estatal rusa de energía nuclear, Rosatom, afirmó el sábado que el dron explotó después de abrir un agujero en la pared de una sala de turbinas. El director general de Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, acusó a Ucrania de un ataque “deliberado”.
“Esta tarde, un dron de combate kamikaze ucraniano impactó el edificio de la sala de turbinas de la Unidad de Energía N.º 6, lo que provocó una detonación”, afirmó Likhachev. Añadió que no hubo daños en el equipo principal.
El ejército ucraniano rechazó lo que calificó como “otra maniobra propagandística” de Rusia y afirmó que no atacó ni tuvo como objetivo la planta. En un comunicado, el ejército indicó que se atiene al derecho internacional humanitario y que es consciente de las “consecuencias de cualquier acción dirigida contra instalaciones nucleares”.
“En el tramo pertinente de la línea del frente no había combates activos en el momento del incidente y no se emplearon armas”, señaló.
Rafael Grossi, director del Organismo Internacional de Energía Atómica, expresó su “seria preocupación” tras el incidente en una publicación en X.
El organismo estatal ucraniano de supervisión nuclear indicó que los daños descritos por Rusia deben ser verificados por expertos del OIEA presentes en la planta de Zaporiyia como parte de una misión de monitoreo de largo plazo.
La planta de Zaporiyia ha sido atacada repetidamente desde la invasión a gran escala de Rusia en febrero de 2022, lo que ha despertado temores de un accidente nuclear. Moscú y Kiev se han culpado mutuamente de atacar la planta de manera deliberada.
En otros sucesos, la Fuerza Aérea ucraniana informó el domingo que derribó 212 de los 299 drones lanzados por Rusia durante la noche. Indicó que 14 drones alcanzaron sus objetivos, mientras que restos de drones cayeron en cinco lugares.
Drones rusos impactaron la ciudad de Dnipro y una refinería de petróleo en la región ucraniana de Rivne, lo que provocó incendios, informaron las autoridades.
Oleksandr Koval, jefe de la administración regional de Rivne, dijo que nadie resultó herido en la refinería y que los servicios de emergencia estaban en el lugar.

Trump warns judge against sacrificing national security by blocking White House ballroom, drone base

Trump gives exclusive tour of White House Ballroom project
President Donald Trump offers an exclusive look at the White House Ballroom project, discussing its innovative design and its role as a secure venue for formal events. Trump states it’s a gift to America, funded by patriots, providing ample space for up to 2,000 guests, ensuring the safety of leaders for generations to come.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump is warning against obstruction of the $400 million White House ballroom and rooftop drone base, directly calling out U.S. District Judge Richard Leon for giving in to a «serial plaintiff» and a «ridiculous lawsuit» putting U.S. national security at risk.
«The DronePort at the White House Ballroom will be, perhaps, the most sophisticated anywhere in the World!» Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social. «It will safeguard our Nation’s Capital, Washington, D.C., long into the future.
«Judge Richard Leon should stop playing games with America’s Security!»
Trump urged Leon to dismiss the lawsuit from a person he described as a «highly litigious woman,» warning the judge would be «held responsible» if an attack hits the White House.
FEDERAL JUDGE QUESTIONS TRUMP AUTHORITY ON WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM PROJECT
«If anything happens, he will be held responsible for the Death and Destruction caused to our Country,» Trump added. «He has already created enough problems by allowing ‘Top Secret’ information to be released and exposed based on a ridiculous lawsuit started by a highly litigious woman (serial plaintiff!) whose ‘strolling,’ in her opinion, will be disturbed by the new, desperately needed structure – In any event, a woman who has absolutely no STANDING!
«With the advent of highly sophisticated, and powerful, modern day weaponry, we can no longer defend Washington, D.C., with rifles and pistols, alone. This ridiculous lawsuit must be dismissed, IMMEDIATELY!» Trump added.
The post came as the Justice Department again pressed Leon to lift an injunction that has held up parts of the project, arguing in a court filing that a shooting outside a White House checkpoint earlier this month underscored the need for stronger security measures at the executive mansion.
TRUMP PULLS BACK CURTAIN ON WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM’S FORTRESS-LIKE DEFENSES ABOVE AND DEEP BELOW
«In light of the recent attacks against President Trump’s life — including two attempts in less than a month — the injunction entered by this Court for the benefit of a strolling woman, who filed suit against the East Wing Project long before she knew what was going to be built (This is a woman who is a known serial plaintiff throughout Washington, D.C.), and who has absolutely no standing, must be immediately vacated, and this suit, which is a complete embarrassment to our Country, must be dismissed,» acting Attorney General Todd Blanche wrote in the five-page filing.
«This is a terrible, tremendously harmful case to the United States of America, and all it stands for!» .
The gunman who opened fire at the White House checkpoint was shot by officers and later died at a hospital.
APPEALS COURT LETS TRUMP RESUME WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM CONSTRUCTION, SEEKS LOWER COURT CLARITY
Leon ruled in April that Trump lacked the legal authority to build the ballroom without congressional approval. He issued an injunction halting «above-ground construction of the planned ballroom,» though an appeals court quickly put that order on hold, allowing construction to continue until June.
The lawsuit was brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a congressionally chartered nonprofit organization. The group has said it would not drop the case, even after the Justice Department cited a foiled attack at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in April as a reason to dissolve the injunction and dismiss the lawsuit.
Trump previously disclosed that the ballroom project would include a rooftop drone base and a six-story underground military complex with a hospital and research facilities.

During a tour with reporters , Trump said the ballroom’s roof would be built for military use and designed to withstand a direct attack.
«The entire roof is built for military,» Trump said. «They have a massive drone capacity. Not only is it drone-proof, if a drone hits it, it bounces off, it won’t have any impact. But it’s also meant as a drone port that would protect all of Washington.»
The proposed 90,000-square-foot ballroom would dwarf the historic White House complex and has become a flashpoint in a broader fight over presidential authority, security spending and the preservation of historic federal buildings.
WHITE HOUSE SAYS EAST WING DEMOLITION WAS NECESSARY DUE TO STRUCTURAL ISSUES
Trump has argued that the ballroom is necessary to host large events of up to 1,000 people in a secure location, saying current White House entertainment spaces are too small.
The White House has said the project’s security features include titanium fencing, hardened roofing, thick special glass and underground facilities. Trump told reporters the roof would be made of «impenetrable steel,» and said the fencing was strong enough that «a bulldozer cannot knock it over.»

Hombre es capturado por feminicidio en un cafetal de el occidente salvadoreño

El cuerpo sin vida de una mujer fue localizado al interior de un cafetal, en el cantón El Paste, de Santa Ana, en el occidente de El Salvador. Elementos de la Policía Nacional Civil (PNC) confirmaron el hallazgo la tarde del sábado 30 de mayo a través de sus plataformas oficiales. La víctima presentaba un golpe en la cabeza, según información oficial difundida por la PNC.
El hallazgo se produjo a aproximadamente 10 metros de la calle que conecta hacia el Valle Nuevo, en la jurisdicción de estación El Coco, Chalchuapa, en el sector oeste de Santa Ana. El Movimiento de Trabajadores de la Policía (MTP) informó que el cuerpo ya se encontraba en estado de descomposición y las autoridades, en un inicio, catalogaron el hecho como “muerte por sobre averiguar y determinar en autopsia”.
La víctima de la cual no se ha difundido su nombre tenía 34 años de edad.

Pocas horas después del hallazgo, a las 8:00 de la noche de ese mismo sábado, la Policía Nacional Civil anunció la captura de Armando Adelio García Martínez, de 40 años, señalado como el presunto responsable del crimen y pareja de la mujer. De acuerdo con el informe policial, la mujer habría sido “lesionada en la cabeza con un objeto contundente”. Las autoridades procedieron a remitir a García Martínez por el delito de homicidio, mientras se investigan las circunstancias que rodean el caso.
La PNC indicó que las pesquisas continúan para determinar el motivo detrás del ataque y establecer si existieron antecedentes de violencia entre la pareja.
El caso en Santa Ana se suma a una serie de hechos violentos recientes en el país, en un contexto donde los reportes oficiales muestran una disminución en los homicidios, aunque persisten episodios de especial gravedad que involucran a mujeres y situaciones de violencia intrafamiliar.

En el barrio El Calvario, dentro del distrito de Olocuilta, municipio de La Paz Oeste, se registró otro hecho violento el sábado 30 de mayo. A las 2:29 de la tarde, una ciudadana alertó al sistema de emergencias 911 tras observar un cuerpo flotando en una poza ubicada sobre la calle principal que conduce al cantón El Chilamate.
Al llegar al lugar, agentes de la Policía Nacional Civil confirmaron la presencia del cadáver, que fue identificado como Francisco Ismael Aranda Guzmán, de aproximadamente 53 años. Testigos relataron que al mediodía hubo un altercado entre varias personas que estaban consumiendo bebidas alcohólicas en el sitio. Tras el conflicto, los involucrados abandonaron el lugar.
Hasta el momento, las autoridades no han confirmado si el fallecimiento de Aranda Guzmán está relacionado con el altercado reportado, ni si se trata de una muerte accidental o provocada. La PNC mantiene las investigaciones abiertas y no ha ofrecido nuevas declaraciones sobre el avance del caso.

Según datos oficiales publicados por la Policía Nacional Civil, el mes de mayo registra al menos seis homicidios en todo El Salvador. Estas cifras corresponden únicamente a los reportes formales presentados por la autoridad policial. El análisis comparativo muestra una marcada reducción en los homicidios si se compara con años anteriores. En 2018, el promedio diario superaba los 10 casos, mientras que en 2025 y 2026 la tendencia se mantiene baja, con días en los que no se reportan homicidios y solo algunos picos aislados que, en el caso de 2026, suman seis homicidios durante todo mayo.
