Former president Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba said on Fox News that she is “ashamed” and “embarrassed” to be a lawyer after the former president was indicted. Ms Habba spoke on Jesse Watters’s show amid news that a federal grand jury indicted Mr Trump on charges related to his allegedly unlawful retention of national defence information. Mr Trump’s attorney said the indictment was a distraction from supposed impropriety on behalf of President Joe Biden, pointing to the fact that House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer was planning to hold FBI Director Christoper Wray, whom Mr Trump nominated to lead the bureau in 2017, in contempt of Congress for supposedly withholding documents. But Mr Comer retracted the contempt vote after the FBI agreed to share documents, The New York Times reported. “Every single time there is a coordinated dance that is becoming obvious to the American people because they are smart,” she said. Ms Habba said that the indictments of the twice-impeached former president were the equivalent of a “shiny ball” meant to distract people. “I'm embarrassed to be a lawyer at this moment,” she said. “Honestly, I am ashamed. I'm ashamed to be a lawyer. I'm ashamed that this is the state of our country.” Ms Habba said the indictment showed the United States had a two-tiered system of justice. “And it is so obvious that there's this dual-system of justice,” she said. “This is selective prosecution, selective persecution. It is absolute persecution. It is Russia third world stuff, and it should not be happening.” Mr Trump first broadcast the indictment on his Truth Social networking platform on Thursday, one day after The Independent had reported that federal prosecutors planned to ask a grand jury to indict Mr Trump. “I never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former President of the United States, who received far more votes than any sitting President in the History of our Country, and is currently leading, by far, all Candidates, both Democrat and Republican, in Polls of the 2024 Presidential Election,” Mr Trump said, denying his guilt and proclaiming he is an “innocent man.” Mr Trump said he has been summoned to appear at a federal courthouse in Miami on Tuesday by 3.00 pm ET.

A TikToker has been celebrated for “living an introvert's dream” after he boasted about being the only passenger on a cruise ship. Major liners can hold between 2,000 and 4,000 guests, and yet Blake Rosier claimed that he’d managed to find himself totally alone on one – apart from a whole army of staff. In a video posted on Tuesday, Blake can be seen standing in a pool and showing off the empty deck around him. Addressing his audience, he announces: “As some of you know, I'm on this cruise ship completely alone. I am the only guest on this ship besides the crew, of course, that's been tending to me hand and foot, literally. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter “This cruise has been insane,” he continues. “I don't know how this happened exactly. They even have a movie playing for just me. “All the shows are still going, the pools are open. Literally just me here – it’s truly insane and it's been amazing. “I just had dinner in a huge dining hall with no one else. I'll keep you guys updated.” @blakerosier24620 I was the only guest on a cruise ship He has failed to post any updates since that original post, nor has he provided any information on which operator he’s supposedly travelling with. Still, that hasn’t dampened people’s enthusiasm for his outlandish claims, with the clip racking up more than 490,500 views and 31,000 likes in a day, as commentators shared their takes on the unusual scenario. “That’s the only appealing cruise I’ve ever seen,” one joked. “Not sure if that’s a dream or nightmare,” added another. Indeed, whilst one fellow TikToker described it as an “introvert’s dream” another argued: “This is my introvert’s nightmare – the entire crew tending to you JUST YOU???” Others poured cold water on Blake’s brag, with a number suggesting he had just filmed the video late at night when everyone else was asleep. Others suggested he was a member of staff himself, and that he’d recorded himself once the journey was over and everyone else had gone home. In fact, it’s not the first time the content creator has claimed to be alone on a ship. Last year, he uploaded a video titled ‘Only guest on a cruise ship in the dining hall’. He began the 26-second clip, by saying happily to the camera: “Look at all these people that know me,” before filming staff greeting him as he strolled around the food area. Only guest on a cruise ship in the dining hall www.youtube.com There are a few other clues that Blake’s solo trip claims are all just a big joke. The YouTuber is known for his comic, spoof videos and not for being the kind of travel influencer who might be able to bag himself an exclusive spot on a cruise. Also, whilst he doesn’t divulge any info about his journey in the most recent cruise clip, his video location is tagged as "New York". Still, we all enjoyed the ride while it lasted.
