Trump promises million-dollar reward for tips on election fraud
US President Donald Trump is offering a reward of one million dollars to anyone who reports election fraud that leads to a conviction.
On his social media platform, Truth Social, the president emphasizes that this applies both to past elections and the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.
"Anyone who reports election fraud from past elections, or the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, will receive $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those behind the fraud," he wrote on Truth Social on Monday.
One million dollars is equivalent to approximately 9.95 million Swedish kronor.
The US midterm elections will be held on November 3 and will determine whether the president’s party, the Republicans, retains control of Congress, or if that power shifts to the Democrats.
Jordan: Three arrested following attack on church
Three people have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in a shooting at a Greek Orthodox church in Jordan, state television reports.
Nine people were killed and 25 others injured in the attack, which took place on Friday.
The church is located in the city of Karak, which is home to a Christian minority population.
Jordan’s King Abdullah II has previously vowed the “severest possible punishment” for those responsible.
Egypt to assist Saudi Arabia amid attacks

Egypt is set to provide military support to Saudi Arabia as the kingdom faces attacks from the Yemeni Houthi movement. The Egyptian parliament has approved a request to this effect from the president.
Parliament has given the green light to "take the necessary measures to support" Saudi Arabia, reports the state-owned newspaper al-Ahram.
Last week, President Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi clarified that the measures in question are defensive in nature, rather than involving Egyptian offensive operations in Yemen.
The Houthi movement has escalated its war against Saudi Arabia. The Iranian-backed group has also throttled traffic in the Red Sea by establishing control over the Bab al-Mandab Strait—a development that negatively impacts Egypt’s vital customs revenue from the Suez Canal to the north.
In mid-September, al-Sisi hosted Saudi leader Mohammed bin Salman in Cairo. The two leaders pledged "robust responses" to attacks and committed to keeping the Red Sea open to maritime traffic.
Zelenskyy: Waiting a month for air defense supplies from the US
Ukraine has been waiting “nearly a month” for missiles for its American-supplied Patriot and NASAMS air defense systems, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy states.
“We are working along several tracks—with the US, Europe, and other partners who hold stockpiles of missiles for the Patriot system,” the Ukrainian president writes on X, adding:
“In particular, we have been waiting for nearly a month for [US Secretary of Defense] Mr. Hegseth to approve the provision of missiles for Patriot and NASAMS systems.”
In another post on X, he notes that “things are moving very slowly.”
“Slower than Russian missiles fly. You cannot simply say, ‘Yes, we will provide the missiles,’ and then fail to deliver them for a month or two. That is not how it works.”
Over the past three months, Ukraine has received 24 Patriot missiles from the US—whereas they require an average of 350 per month, Zelenskyy told ABC News on Friday.
