Now that Lara Trump is helping lead the Republican National Committee, the former president’s daughter-in-law appears to have made election denialism a priority for the party. But as it turns out, that’s not the RNC co-chair’s only focus. Consider the message Lara Trump recently shared with an audience about her father-in-law: A video of the comments suggests she wasn’t kidding.

Former President Donald Trump has just gone through the first week of his criminal hush payment trial in Manhattan — and it's already hurting him politically, said commentator Molly Jong-Fast on MSNBC's "Deadline: White House" on Friday evening. The conventional wisdom for months has been that the Trump trials, and particularly the Manhattan trial, will not significantly impact him, with large numbers of voters simply not caring about it. But this ignores that a great many non-Trump...
With two jurors removed for potential bias and perjury — and one who dislikes his 'persona' — can Trump get a fair trial?
Former President Donald Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump, the newly-minted co-chair of the Republican National Committee, vowed that the party will be getting its hands on ballots directly in order to ensure no funny business in the 2024 election."We now have the ability at the RNC not just to have poll watchers — people standing in polling locations — but people who can physically handle the ballots," she said in an interview on the far-right Newsmax cable network on Tuesday.Asked if her paid...
