Donald Trump Jr says it will be ‘the end of civilisation’ if his father is charged over January 6
Former president Donald Trump being charged over the January 6 insurrection would mark the end of civilisation – that is, according to his eldest son. Donald Trump Jr made the comment during an interview with rightwing broadcaster Real America’s Voice, also suggesting that civilisation was actually due to end soon anyway. “This is like the end of the civilisation,” he said. “And, you know, if you look at the timing, most civilisations last 250 years, we’re at about 248 – so we are in serious trouble if we don’t right this ship.” His comments came as the former president took to Truth Social to reveal he had been notified by the Department of Justice of his status as a target of the investigation into the January 6 attack, the first real confirmation that he could face criminal charges for his role in the hourslong siege of Capitol Hill. “On Sunday night, while I was with my family ... HORRIFYING NEWS for our country was given to me by my attorneys,” said Mr Trump. “Deranged Jack Smith ... sent a letter (again, it was Sunday night!) stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment.” The exact number of charges Mr Trump may face related to the DoJ’s January 6 probe is not yet known, nor is the extent of the criminal accusations he may face. The House’s select committee investigating January 6 previously recommended a handful of charges at the conclusion of their hearings in 2022, including the charge of giving comfort to an insurrection. Mr Trump Jr shared his father’s statement on Twitter on Tuesday and added his own comment: “It never ends! The corrupted bureaucrats of the swamp will do anything to stop my father from fighting for you & putting Americans first. This is a mockery of justice & our constitution. We are a Third World nation in rapid decline, with only one cure. RE-ELECT DONALD J TRUMP!” Read More Judge denies Trump’s motion for a mistrial in E Jean Carroll sexual assault civil case Trump probe ‘subpoenaed CCTV from Georgia 2020 ballot counting centre’ Trump news – live: Trump claims he’s ‘not frightened’ by Jan 6 target letter as potential indictment looms

Jordan Belfort's ex-wife says Margot Robbie's Wolf of Wall Street scene was 'totally true'
Jordan Belfort's ex-wife has offered her perspective on the Wolf of Wall Street scenes, which sees Margot Robbie play her. Taking to TikTok, Nadine Macaluso confessed that through her ex-husband's eyes "it's really accurate," but noted that through her own lens, "it wasn't and that makes sense because that was actually how our marriage was." When asked whether scenes from the film were "really true," she admitted to one scene being "totally true". The 2013 hit film shows Belfort buying his wife a yacht as a wedding gift. Macaluso, who now works as a therapist, said he did not gift her a boat but later purchased one after the pair welcomed their daughter, Chandler. "I did not want to buy the yacht ironically," she told followers. "And he was like 'Nope, I'm buying a yacht and I'm calling it the Nadine'. And I was like 'Okay, here we go'." It was then the real scene took place... Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The Wolf Of Wall Street: Yacht Storm Scene [HD] www.youtube.com Macaluso shared the moment those aboard the ship were saved by the Italian Navy during a ferocious storm in June 1996. Luckily, everyone was able to escape safely. "It was horrific, horrifying, we were in a squall for 12 to 18 hours and we lived, thank god, for my kids," she explained. @drnaelmft The real story of the yacht from The Duchess of The Wolf of Wall Street #wolfofwallstreet #wolfofwallstreetmovie #wallstreet #nadinemacaluso #drnadinemacaluso #drnae #drnadine #marriedtothewolfofwallstreet #margotrobbie #tiktokviral #tiktoknews #tiktokcelebsnews #tiktokfamous #naomiwolfofwallstreet #margotrobbie #tiktokviral #tiktoknews #wolfofwallstreetnaomi #fyp #fypシ #foryoupage #foryourpage #yacht #yachtsinking #superyacht #cocochanel #naomiwolf #margotrobbiewolfofwallstreet #margotrobbieedit #margotrobbiefans The viral clip was soon flooded with more questions from intrigued followers, with one asking when the pair had last spoken. "Two months ago," she responded. Another person asked whether she and Belfort had "any type of relationship now" to which she replied: "Yes we do as we share 2 terrific children." In a separate video, she told followers that the famous clip of Robbie in the nursery was completely fabricated. "I am not that sexy, I wish I was," she said. "I think that was my ex-husband's fantasy of what he wanted me to be like." Have your say in our news democracy.

'Barbie' delivers a feminist message dressed up in all the right accessories
"Barbie" comes roaring out of the gate with an inventiveness and energy the movie perhaps inevitably can't sustain. Amid all the hype that has made its release an increasingly rare movie-going occasion, director Greta Gerwig's film proves an admirably ambitious attempt to ponder where Barbie fits in the 21st century -- less than it could be, but pretty close to being what it should be.
