1 FBI Investigating Allegations That Trump Train Attacked Biden Bus
The FBI is looking into claims that supporters of President Trump harassed a Joe Biden campaign bus in Texas. The bus was going from San Antonio to Austin Friday when it was surrounded by vehicles bearing Trump flags. Biden's campaign said the vehicles were trying to slow down the bus – or even push it off the road. President Trump isn’t too thrilled with the news and has taken to social media to blast the FBI for investigating the caravan. The president instead suggested the federal investigators should be looking into terrorists and ANTIFA in a tweet last night. An FBI spokesperson has only confirmed that FBI San Antonio is investigating the incident.
2 American Hostage Rescued In Nigeria By Navy Seals
An American hostage is safe after being rescued by Navy Seals in Nigeria. President Trump tweeted news of the Friday night rescue, calling it a "daring nighttime rescue operation." He added, “Our nation celebrates the safe return of yet another American citizen." That citizen? It’s 27-year-old Philip Walton, who had been abducted from his backyard in West Africa on October 26th. His assailants reportedly asked him for money, but he only had the equivalent of $40. Walton was rescued by SEAL Team Six in a high-risk, "precision" raid through intelligence provided by the CIA. All but seven of the captors were killed with no American personnel injured. According to a counterterrorism source with knowledge of the mission, "[The kidnappers] were all dead before they knew what happened.”
