Veteran anchor Chris Wallace quits Fox News

Fox News host Chris Wallace

Veteran anchor Chris Wallace signed off his Fox News Sunday show after 18 years to join CNN’s new streaming service.

CNN announced shortly after his show ended that Wallace, who is 74, will join the streaming service CNN+ as an anchor. The service is due to debut sometime next year.

“It is the last time, and I say this with real sadness, we will meet like this,” Wallace said on Fox on Sunday morning.

“Eighteen years ago, the bosses here at Fox promised me they would never interfere with a guest I booked or a question I asked. And they kept that promise,” he said.

Wallace was a veteran broadcast network newsman, working at both ABC and NBC News, before the late Roger Ailes lured him to Fox with the promise of his own Sunday show.

He was the first Fox News personality to moderate a presidential debate, doing it in 2016 and 2020.

“I have been free to report to the best of my ability, to cover the stories I think are important, to hold our country’s leaders to account,” Wallace said Sunday. “It’s been a great ride.”

His announcement even took the guests on his show Sunday by surprise. The decision is seen as a major blow to Fox News.

For years, Wallace co-existed alongside Fox’s bigger and better known stars of prime time.

The U.S. has ordered TSMC to stop shipping advanced AI and GPU chips to China starting Monday.

 

This decision follows concerns that TSMC chips were found in Huawei’s AI processors, potentially violating export controls. TSMC has informed its Chinese clients that shipments are now suspended. Huawei, already on the U.S. trade blacklist, faces further challenges in developing AI technology. The U.S. is also targeting other companies involved in shipping these chips to China as part of a broader effort to limit China’s access to advanced tech. TSMC has confirmed it will follow all export regulations.

Trump’s plans to shakeup the Pentagon military leadership

Published

on

President-elect Trump’s return may spell big changes for the Pentagon.

Trump has hinted at removing military officials he deems “woke” or disloyal, creating unease within the Defense Department.

Some of Trump’s former generals have labeled him unfit for office, but he’s doubling down on loyalty as a top priority.

Senate Armed Services Committee chair Jack Reed warns that Trump could “destroy” the Pentagon by removing generals who stand by the Constitution.

Military leaders could face dismissal if they don’t align with Trump’s stances on issues like NATO or domestic deployments.

This loyalty push may reshape America’s military approach under Trump’s leadership.

Judge grants request to pause Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case

Special Counsel Jack Smith moves to vacate pretrial deadlines as DOJ weighs next steps after Trump’s Election Day victory.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan on Friday granted Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request to pause proceedings in former President Donald Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case.

The decision halts upcoming pretrial deadlines, allowing the Department of Justice (DOJ) time to consider next steps after Trump’s recent electoral win.

Smith’s motion filed on Friday highlighted the unprecedented situation, noting, “as a result of the election,” the DOJ seeks to vacate remaining deadlines to “assess this unprecedented circumstance.”

Judge Chutkan agreed, instructing the prosecution to submit a status report on December 2 with its proposed course of action.

The request marks a pivotal step, likely steering toward a halt in prosecution, given the DOJ’s longstanding policy against prosecuting a sitting president.

Trump’s victory, making him the first convicted felon elected to the White House, has prompted DOJ officials to deliberate on how best to close Smith’s two federal cases against him.

Had Trump lost the race against Vice President Harris, the former president could have faced potential prison time.

However, this Election Day win likely shields him from criminal consequences while in office.
