Here come CNN’s Dana Bash and Dylan Byers with an authentic media-oriented exclusive: Newt Gingrich, a vice-presidential short-lister for Donald Trump’s campaign, flew out to Indianapolis on a private jet furnished by Fox News host Sean Hannity, the CNNers report.

On Tuesday, Fox News, which hired Gingrich as a contributor, suspended its ties with him as he moved up the list of possible Trump running mates.
See? It says “Fox News”, not “Fox Corrupt and Conflicted Talk Shows”. Gingrich, the fiery Republican who helped define the political battles of the 1990s, told The Associated Press that Trump was supposed to let him know something in the afternoon.

Young said the Gingrich “did more than anyone for the Republicans to become the majority party for the first time in 40 years”.
In the February speech, Gingrich said he had no idea what kind of president Trump might be.
Dozens of people were killed late Thursday in the French resort city of Nice when a truck drove onto a sidewalk and plowed through a crowd of Bastille Day revelers who’d gathered to watch fireworks. “I had a very sophisticated medical doctor in Des Moines write me two days ago and say he sent a thousand dollar check to Trump”. Join us in a conversation about world events, the newsgathering process or whatever aspect of the news universe you find interesting or important. He has also taken on the important role of heading Trump’s transition planning.
Trump said Tuesday he is looking for a “fighter skilled in hand-to-hand combat” as his running mate, he told the Wall Street Journal – a characterization that certainly applies to Gingrich. In 2008, he appeared side-by-side with Nancy Pelosi, who was Speaker of the House at the time, appealing to both parties to work together on climate change.
“If he and his team understand this”, Gingrich said, “I suspect they will evolve rapidly”.
