Donald Trump, a day after being warned about potential jail time if he continues to violate the gag order in his criminal trial in New York, lashed out at the judge presiding over that case as “crooked.”“There is no crime. I have a crooked judge. He’s a totally conflicted judge,” Trump told his supporters at a Wisconsin rally Wednesday—his weekly day off from the trial, where prosecutors allege the former president broke state laws governing business records and federal campaign finance law after covering up a hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels.The trial, he added, is “unfortunately” being…
FREELAND, Mich.

Login Seeing Trump’s lawyers argue before the Supreme Court for absolute presidential immunity (yeah, right, he should be above the law … and why would the president need such immunity unless he was asking states to “find” the votes needed for him to win, or was taking top secret documents and hiding them from FBI agents. … And Trump called Hillary a security risk for using a private e-mail server, which he said should disqualify her from holding office) makes me look back at…
On the day that Florida began to enforce its six-week abortion ban, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a searing attack on former President Donald J. Trump in Jacksonville, calling the measure “another Trump abortion ban” and saying he was forcing women to live a “horrific reality” without access to essential medical care.“As much harm as he has already caused, a second Trump term would be even worse,” Ms. Harris said to about 200 supporters at a convention center in a historically African American neighborhood.If Mr. Trump were to win in November, she argued, Americans would be compelled to endure “more…
Former President Trump was in Freeland, Michigan where he campaigned for his bid for a return to the White House. The presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee spoke about the New York hush money case against him, in which he called it the “Biden trial” and a “fake trial.” He also said the judge in the case is “crooked and conflicted” and that the judge “unconstitutionally gaged” him. He also touted his administration’s role in returning the issue of abortion back to the states and thanked the U.S. Supreme Court for their “wisdom and courage” following the overturning of Roe v.…

The House Judiciary Committee is again singling out a top prosecutor in former President Trump’s hush money case, asking the Department of Justice (DOJ) to turn over the bulk of its communications relating to Matthew Colangelo.

Colangelo has been a target of the panel since April of last year, when Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) asked him to turn over all documents and communications relating to his hiring…
Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post/Getty Images Donald Trump reportedly did not expect to win the presidency in 2016, which isn’t surprising considering how ill-prepared he and his team were to take control of the country. He appointed established conservatives to key positions before learning some had personal principles that extended beyond indulging the president’s ego. Trump wreaked havoc on the United States for four years, but the damage might have been even greater if he wasn’t battling career public servants who tried to check his impulses, or if he wasn’t such a political neophyte. Trump will not be the dog that…
