Doha Film Institute’s Qumra Event Lifts Off Against Backdrop Of FIFA World Cup Fan Hotspots

Twice-impeached former president Donald Trump hasn’t been arrested yet, but Jimmy Fallon is pretty sure he’s starting to feel the heat. During Monday night’s episode of “The Tonight Show,” Fallon joked that the location of Trump’s first official 2024 campaign rally was the clearest sign of that.On Saturday, Trump stopped in Waco, Texas to make his first official campaign bid to the people and, as always, his speech was full of lies and gripes about how he’s being treated unfairly.

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has confirmed that Argentina are continuing with the World Cup ritual credited with transforming their World Cup campaign.

Despite his claims that it would happen, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump was, in fact, not arrested on Tuesday — but, there is some movement expected to come from the grand jury on Wednesday, and Jimmy Fallon couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that, of all days, Trump might get indicted for paying off an adult film star on Hump Day.The “Tonight Show” host went on a tear about Trump’s possible arrest on Tuesday, first joking that it was being delayed just so “the courtroom sketch artist has enough time to load up on orange pencils.” Fallon also joked that the event is so highly anticipated, “Right now in Times Square, Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen are hosting the indictment countdown.”“Yeah, Trump will be formally charged tomorrow for his hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, ironically on … Hump Day,” Fallon said with a shrug. “Yeah I didn’t plan that! I didn’t plan that.” While it’s not a guarantee that an indictment will come Wednesday, many expect it will simply because that’s when the grand jury is convening again and, at this point, all that’s left to do is decide whether criminal charges are necessary.This case is just one of many ongoing investigations into the twice-impeached former president, and stems from a $130,000 payment made to Stormy Daniels in 2016.
