President Donald Trump told reporters Friday that the indictment against former FBI Director James Comey is about pursuing long-standing corruption. "It's about justice really, it's not revenge," Trump said. "It's also about the fact that you can't let this go on. They are sick, radical left people, and they can't get away with it and Comey was one of the people." He wasn't the biggest, but he's a dirty cop," Trump added. "He's always been a dirty cop. Everybody knew it." HON BRIAN SCAVO

New York Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs on Friday cast his controversial decision to oppose lefty mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani as a stand for the party’s dispossessed moderates. The powerful state party leader — who bucked Gov. Kathy Hochul after she endorsed the socialist frontrunner — told The Post he wanted to send the message that firebrand progressives such as Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez don’t speak for all Democrats. “We’re a big tent party. We’re not the Republican Party,” he said in an interview. “The party is not just a progressive party. We’re a progressive, moderate party.” STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE LATEST NEWS BY SUBSCRIBING TO MORNING REPORT NEWSLETTER Jacobs’ shocking statement Thursday refusing to back the Queens assemblyman’s mayoral candidacy in New York City sent shockwaves across the Dems, widening the rift between moderate and left-wing members of the party.

After a year of sitting on the sidelines, the Federal Reserve finally cut short-term interest rates by a quarter-point. It's perhaps the most boring financial news out there, given that many market watchers expected just what the Fed delivered. And now the natural question is: What's next? One rate cut won't solve anyone's financial woes. The expectation, though, is that economic conditions could give the Federal Reserve more room to cut rates possibly two more times from here this year. Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning. On Sept.17, the Fed cut short-term rates to a target range of at 4% to 4.25%. We learned that the Fed board's decision wasn't unanimous. "Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated," according to the Fed's statement, and also noted that "downside risks to employment have risen." Trump's Fed battle creates odd cloud over meeting If the rate cut is rather d...

a Trump ally referred James for federal criminal prosecution for alleged mortgage fraud related to a Virginia home and a New York property. The same month, William Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, wrote a letter obtained by CBS News New York to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi alleging that James had "in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms."

Federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia are concerned that the acting U.S. attorney could be removed for failing to prosecute New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud, multiple sources say. President Trump did not push back on those concerns, saying Friday, "Yeah, I want him out." The U.S. attorney for the district, Eric Siebert, has been serving as the acting top prosecutor since January and was nominated in May by President Trump for the post. But Siebert has not yet been confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Just last week, the Senate moved to add a vote on Siebert to its calendar. An all-staff meeting was held Friday, but no terminations were announced, according to sources. The Justice Department hasn't responded to a request for comment. A defense attorney for James declined to comment. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Friday, the president said he wants Siebert "out," citing the support he got from Democrat...

President Donald Trump said Friday he will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at a regional summit in South Korea at the end of October and plans to visit China early next year. In a post on Truth Social, Trump added that Xi would come to the United States “at an appropriate time” and said the two leaders had also signed off on a TikTok deal. Beijing also described the call as “positive” and “constructive,” though Xi stopped short of confirming a deal on the future of TikTok. According to China’s official Xinhua News Agency, Xi reiterated Beijing’s stance on the app and urged the United States to avoid unilateral trade restrictions. Later Friday, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that American investors are lined up and that Xi has been “a gentleman” about it. However, he was vague on the question of whether China would continue to control the algorithm for the social video platform. “It’s all being worked out,” Trump said. “We’re going to have very good control.” Wh...
