Raising questions over the GOPs "deafening" silence, presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy is calling out for Republicans' support against&nbsp;Donald Trump's possible indictment in a probe by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Indian-American Ramaswamy, on Saturday, called on Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley "to join him by 9 AM tomorrow (Sunday) in calling on Bragg to abandon the political persecution of the 45th president of the US".

"This is about principle, not a person. This is about our country, not one man. The silence from the rest of the GOP field is deafening," he said. "That is not the America I know. That is not America my parents came to. That is not the America our founding fathers set in motion 250 years ago. That is the stuff of a&nbsp;Banana Republic."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ramaswamy&nbsp;said it is not about Trump being his competition in the race to become the next US president, but more about the integrity of the elections and the integrity of the self-governing democracy.

He asserted that it does not matter whether anyone roots for Trump or not, but must speak up if they are rooting for the constitutional republic.&nbsp;Ramaswamy said a politically empowered prosecutor cannot eliminate the opposition of the ruling party, Trump, by using arrest, and called it a sad and dark day in America.&nbsp;

Vivek Ramaswamy mostly speaks on the Mexican drug cartel menace in America, special treatment for SVB, targeting woke culture and overcoming climate change as part of the promises since he threw his hat in the ring by declaring that he will be running for the president's office in 2024.&nbsp;

According to the former sheriff, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is singlehandedly accountable for the millions of people who have died from COVID-19. The House GOP majority will attempt to have China repay the $4.6 trillion in US coronavirus relief funds, among other things.

Holding China responsible is his top priority this Congress, Nehls said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

The China Lied, People Died Act is only one example of Nehls' tough position on the CCP. Earlier last month, the House passed a resolution holding China accountable for the COVID-19 epidemic and demanding that Beijing pay the U.S. $16 trillion for economic losses to Americans.

Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, a Republican, co-sponsored the measure with Nehls. The House GOP majority is already prepared to look into the causes of the COVID-19 outbreak when Nehls' bill is introduced.

The Bloomington Police Department has arrested five people for the fatal shooting at the Mall of America&nbsp;in Minnesota&nbsp;that took the life of a 19-year-old. On Saturday, the police arrested five young males aged between 17 to 18 years, according to Police Chief Booker Hodges.&nbsp;

While the cops investigate the possibility of another shooter, Hodges&nbsp;believes he is one of the arrested suspects. In any case, the police would charge them&nbsp;with second-degree murder.

Hodges said that he did not find the reason behind the shooting because the arrested suspects did not wish to cooperate.

Earlier, he informed the press that police officials heard gunshots on the first floor of Nordstorm store of Minnesota's Mall of America around 8 pm (local time) on Friday. Later, an officer working at the Watches of Switzerland store discovered a body of a 19-year-old African American boy shot multiple times.&nbsp;

As per the initial probe, a quarrel between two groups of young men led to the shooting in the Nordstrom store. CCTV footage showed a male taking out a gun and shooting the victim, said the police chief. However, the police have not quoted the motive of the crime yet.

TJ Holmes and Amy Robach have been hosting the Good Morning America talk show GMA3 since 2020, and this week, paparazzi images of the couple were posted online, revealing their relationship. Although Holmes and Robach are both married, a spokesperson for the two claimed that they had just ended their marriages and had recently started dating.

What did the ABC News president say?

Holmes and Robach have been removed from GMA3, according to Kim Godwin, the president of ABC News. During an editorial call on Monday, Godwin said, “I’m going to talk about something that has become an internal and an external distraction: the relationship between two of our colleagues."

According to sources cited by multiple media outlets, she said that the relationship is not a violation of company policy and after taking few days to think about and work through what she thinks is best for the ABC News organisation, she is going to take Amy and TJ off the air, while figuring this out."

“These decisions are not easy, they are not knee-jerk, but they are necessary for the brand and for our priority which, you guys know, are all of us — the people here at ABC,” she added. She also asked staff to “stop the whispering in the hallways” about the matter. “We can’t operate with gossip, speculation and rumours. We need to stay focused on the work.”

How the love came to light?

Following the paparazzi photos of Holmes and Robach together while on vacation, their relationship was made public. Amid a barrage of tabloid coverage and social media comments, a spokesperson for Holmes and Robach stated that the duo had been close friends for many years, but their connection developed during the previous few months, when they split from their respective spouses in August. They were waiting until they were both divorced before telling anybody, not even ABC. Stephanie Ramos and Gio Benitez took the place of the two on Monday, and they will continue to do so till ABC News resolves the situation.
