CNN
President Joe Biden said on Thursday that he was not given a heads-up that the apartment and office of Rudy Giuliani were set to be raided Wednesday, an extraordinary move in the Justice Department's ongoing probe of former President Donald Trump's onetime attorney.
Asked if he was given notice ahead of the raid, Biden emphatically told NBC News, "I give you my word, I was not." He added, "I made a pledge: I would not interfere in any way, order, or try to stop any investigation the Justice Department had -- no way. I learned about that last night when the rest of the world learned about it, my word. I had no idea this was underway."
Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani bitterly clashed over age and experience Thursday in the final debate before New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, as Cuomo warned that electing the progressive state assemblyman is unprepared for the job and Mamdani hammered the former governor over scandals during his time in Albany.

On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security posted a striking graphic on its official X account. Uncle Sam, a symbol of American patriotism, is depicted nailing a poster to a wall that reads, “Help your country… and yourself.” Written underneath the poster is the sentence, “REPORT ALL FOREIGN INVADERS,” and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement hot line.
