On Thursday night, British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen unleashed a satirical attack against GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. Appearing at the U.S. premiere of his new movie, The Brothers Grimsby, in Westwood, California, Baron Cohen pretended to endorse Trump for president, calling him “the ultimate soccer hooligan." Cohen then predicted that Trump, who he claimed is in need of money after having squandered away a fortune, will pick Bill Cosby as his running mate. The 'Borat' actor added, "Some out there are worried about Trump. It’s absolute nonsense, all right? History has shown that a loud, ranting bloke shouting out racial hatred at rallies has never hurt anyone.”
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says that the Middle East needs "calm heads to prevail" after Iran launched its first-ever direct attack on Israeli territory. "We'll be working with our allies to de-escalate the situation and I look forward to speaking to G7 leaders later this afternoon," Sunak tells reporters in Downing Street. SOUNDBITE

Former President Barack Obama has stated that Trump is responsible for the coup of the Capitol. Trump's relentless lies on the 2020 election incited violence and inspired the insurgency. "History will rightly remember today's violence at the Capitol, incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie about the outcome of a lawful election, as a moment of great dishonor and shame for our nation," Obama said. Obama called on Republicans to cease their support for Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election result. He added that they must "choose America" according to Business Insider.
On Friday, Pres. Donald Trump tweeted his support for $2,000 direct payments to Americans. "Why would politicians not want to give people $2000, rather than only $600?" he wrote. It's still unclear if Trump will sign or veto the stimulus relief package. Business Insider reports the new stimulus bill has been flown out to him in Florida. A White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Joe Biden told Stephen Colbert that he's disappointed GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham has not recognized him as the winner of the 2020 election. "Lindsey's been a personal disappointment because I was a personal friend of his," Biden said. Business Insider reports that Graham was once a sharp critic of President Donald Trump. Now, has supports the president's longshot legal efforts to overturn the election results. The South Carolina Republican was previously a close friend of Biden's. In 2015, Graham said Biden is "as good a man as God ever created."
