President Donald Trump's approval rating skyrocketed over 45 percent for the first time since the inauguration, according to Real Clear Politics. Trump currently has a "healthy" 45.1 percent approval rating and a minor 52 percent disapproval rating. 

     The release of the Mueller Report, which confirmed there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, likely helped Trump's approval rating.

Brietbart's John Nolte reports:

     It's worth noting that Rasmussen Reports currently has Trump at a whopping 49 percent approval rating.

     President Donald Trump spoke with reporters at the White House on Thursday. Trump said former Secretary of State John Kerry "should be prosecuted" for violating the Logan Act. 

     "That’s a violation of the Logan Act, and frankly he should be prosecuted on that, but my people don’t want to do anything on that,” Trump said.

     "John Kerry violated the Logan Act, plain and simple. He shouldn’t be doing that," Trump added.

     "They should call, and if they do, we’re open to talking to them. We have no secrets, and they can be very, very strong financially. We have one of the most powerful ships in the world that’s loaded up and we don’t want to do anything,” Trump continued.

     2020 Democrat presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden spoke to a crowd for a fundraiser where tickets cost from$2,500 to $10,000 on Thursday. Biden promised if elected, he will take the country "back."

     The fundraiser was co-hosted by Hollywood producer Jeffrey Katzenberg, ICM Partners Chris Silbermann, CAA's Greg Gering, Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and media investor Peter Chernin.

     "I guarantee you if it’s me, what’s gonna happen is, we’re going to see this country come together like it hasn’t in a long time," Biden said. 

    "Because people are tired, they’re sick and tired of what’s happening. Let’s lift our heads up. Again, not a joke, remember who the hell we are. And let’s go take it back," Biden added.

     "What is Senator Burr doing? Did he not hear your message?" Hannity asked.

     "Well, I think the good news is that Chairman Burr has already indicated that the committee will find no collusion because that will be consistent with the Mueller investigation," McConnell said.

     "I think this is going to have a happy ending. I understand the president’s frustration here, but I think this is just a blip. I think the case is closed. I think the controversy has been concluded," McConnell added. 

     "I don’t think the House thinks that and I think they’re going to continue to try to stir this up, but enough already," McConnell continued. 

     "I mean, we found out from the Mueller report that the Russians were deeply involved in it, there were something like 18 to 20 indictments of Russian companies and Russian individuals who were trying to get into the campaign and to mess with it. I think it’s over and I think it’s time to let it go and move on and deal with the people’s business," McConnell said.

     President Donald Trump fired back at former FBI Director James Comey in a tweet on Thursday. Comey was interviewed on CNN by Anderson Cooper in a town hall on Wednesday afternoon. Comey said President Donald Trump would've been charged with obstruction of justice if he wasn't the president.

     "I think it’s up to 800 former federal prosecutors who have worked in both Republican and Democratic administrations who have signed a statement saying that Mueller’s findings would have produced obstruction charges against President Trump if he weren’t president. Do you agree?" Cooper asked.

     "Yeah. I agree," Comey answered.

     Cooper asked if Trump "should be charged when he’s out of office, based on what Mueller has shown?”

     "I think the Justice Department will have to take a serious look at that. Whether it’s a wise thing to do to a former president, I don’t know," Comey responded.

​     Trump fired back on Twitter, writing, "​James Comey is a disgrace to the FBI & will go down as the worst Director in its long and once proud history. He brought the FBI down, almost all Republicans & Democrats thought he should be FIRED, but the FBI will regain greatness because of the great men & women who work there!"

     President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Florida on Wednesday. Trump mocked Democrat 2020 presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke for falling behind the other Democrat candidates.

​     “I went to Texas and I made a speech, and Beto, Beto, boy has he fallen like a rock. What the hell happened to Beto? His crowd was not massive, he had like 502 people according to the people who count crowds,” Trump said.

     Rep. Ilhan Omar attacked President Donald Trump on Thursday afternoon. While at a rally in Panama City Beach, Florida on Wednesday, Trump said he would not let the border patrol use weapons on illegal immigrants trying to enter the country. ​

    A person in the crowd yelled "shoot them" and Trump and the crowd erupted in laughter. 

     Ilhan Omar went after Trump on Twitter, writing, "This was hard to watch and listen to but unsurprising that Trump would laugh about shooting people who come to our country seeking a better life."

     The Trump campaign quickly fired back at Omar's tweet responding with a video of Omar mocking Americans for their anxiety about al-Qaeda. ​

​​     "We have a young man, Buttigieg. Boot-edge-edge. They say 'edge-edge. He’s got a great chance. He’ll be great. He’ll be great representing us against President Xi of China," Trump added.

     "I want to be in that room. I want to watch that one. I think I'd like running against him, too," Trump said of Buttigieg. "But it'll be interesting to see it unfold," Trump continued. 

​     "Now the Democrats — we have a great attorney general — now the Democrats are saying, ‘We want more.’ You know, it was going to be like, ‘We want the Mueller report.’ Now they say, ‘Mueller report? No, we want to start all over again,'" Trump added.
