Justice Department officials plan to pursue the criminal cases against Donald Trump past Election Day even if he wins, under the belief that department rules against charging or prosecuting a sitting president would not kick in until Inauguration Day in January, according to people familiar with the discussions.That approach may become more consequential given this week’s Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, which probably will lead to further delays to Trump’s election interference trial in D.C. and has already affected one of his state cases.Senior law enforcement officials have long viewed the two federal indictments against Trump — the 45th…
NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump ‘s campaign says it outraised President Joe Biden in the year’s second quarter, with a reported haul of $331 million.That number bests the $264 million that Biden’s reelection campaign and the Democratic National Committee reported raising over the same period earlier Tuesday, eliminating Biden’s cash advantage and potentially undercutting Biden’s efforts to calm fears within his party after last week’s disastrous debate performance, which has prompted calls for him to step aside.Trump’s total includes $111.8 million that the campaign says it raised in June. That sum is less than the $127 million Biden reported…
A group of Republican senators are expected to host a roundtable discussion about the exploitation of unaccompanied migrant children at the U.S. southern border. Entitled “[t]he Exploitation Crisis: How the U.S. Government is Failing to Protect Migrant Children from Trafficking and Abuse,” the event will be held July 9 and hosted by Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa; Ron Johnson, R-Wis.; and Bill Cassidy, R-La. “The roundtable will examine the failures of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)’s Unaccompanied Children (UC) program, which has allowed thousands of vulnerable migrant kids to be lost or handed over to potential criminals,” Grassley said in…
In his increasingly rambling public speeches, Donald Trump seems to be talking in some version of Tamarian, a language first heard more than 30 years ago in a 1991 episode of “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Spoken by a potentially hostile alien leader, Tamarian baffles the universal translator because it doesn’t consist of nouns, verbs and adjectives or any of the usual building blocks of language, but rather of allusions to myth, literature and history, densely packed but meaningless unless you know the context.Trump is now so bonded to his base that he need merely allude to “the snake” or…

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The only three Republican women in the South Carolina Senate took on their party and stopped a total abortion ban from passing in their state last year. In return, they lost their jobs.Voters removed Sens. Sandy Senn, Penry Gustafson and Katrina Shealy from office during sparsely turned out primaries in June, and by doing so completely vacated the Republican wing of the five-member “Sister Senators,” a female contingent that included two Democrats and was joined in their opposition to the abortion ban.For Republicans, the departure of Senn, Gustafson and Shealy likely means there will be no…

Donald J. Trump began an effort on Monday to throw out his recent criminal conviction in Manhattan and postpone his upcoming sentencing, citing a new Supreme Court ruling that granted him broad immunity from prosecution for official actions he took as president, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.In a letter to the judge overseeing the case, Mr. Trump’s lawyers sought permission to file a motion to set aside the verdict, doing so just hours after the Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling involving one of Mr. Trump’s other criminal cases. The letter will not be public until…
