Planned trial date: Unclear (Delayed from March 4)Last week: Another week, a whole lot more of nothing as we wait for the Supreme Court’s immunity decision.If the court accepts Trump’s argument that presidential immunity from prosecution extends to his alleged efforts to block Joe Biden’s election win, the entire case could be dismissed. If the justices reject it, the case can proceed — making it possible the trial could happen before the election. Or the justices could issue an opinion that forces the lower courts to reshape their answers on presidential immunity, allowing the trial to go forward, but on…

CNN — North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, a top contender to be Donald Trump’s running mate, sought to raise expectations of President Joe Biden’s debate abilities ahead of CNN’s presidential debate on Thursday. “When he needs to, he can step up,” the Republican governor told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “State of the Union” Sunday, pushing back on what he called “a real effort on the Biden team to try to lower expectations.” Citing Biden’s long political experience, Burgum said: “This guy has got the ability – and we’ve seen it, we’ve seen him in debate four years ago. We’ve seen…
The Winklevoss twins are contributing millions to Donald Trump’s campaign. The Gemini CEOs’ latest donation hit an unexpected snag. Donald Trump’s campaign had to refund the Winklevoss twins’ generous donation.

The former President’s support has caught the attention of the US crypto industry, which has been in an intense multi-year battle against what he terms Biden’s anti-crypto crusade.

And it’s going to, I think, boil down to what sucks less.”With Election Day less than five months away, voters here in Hudson are increasingly preoccupied with just which option — President Biden, 81, or former president Donald Trump, 78 — is “the evil we’ve…
