By Thursday, he was complaining about the overlap in his busy legal schedule.
Former President Trump’s tough week showed as well as any to date why he is facing a new and unprecedented reality as a presidential candidate — as he ping-ponged among a dizzying array of court appearances, judicial rulings, competing allegations and subsequent grievances. By Thursday, he was complaining about the overlap in his busy legal schedule, railing that Judge Juan M. Merchan, who is presiding over his hush-money case in New York, wouldn’t let him leave that trial to attend a Supreme...
The team under Special Counsel Jack Smith is up before the Supreme Court in Trump’s bid to avoid prosecution over his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden

But all of...
The White House highlighted comments Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made earlier this week to attack former President Donald Trump‘s role in sinking the bipartisan Ukraine-border bill.

On April 23, 2020, Donald Trump stood in the White House press briefing room and raised the prospect of an entirely new kind of Covid treatment. As the then-president saw it, patients might benefit if they received, among other things, injections of disinfectant into their bodies. The brief, impromptu comments, quickly became the quintessential moment of Team Trump’s pandemic response, capturing the Republican’s ineptitude and the eagerness with which he embraced nonsense. Exactly one year...
Joe Biden has told a lot of lies over his time in office.
Manhattan prosecutors Monday read to the jury transcripts of former President Donald Trump's notorious "Access Hollywood" tape, prompting one legal expert to describe it as both "cringy" and "damning." The reading came after a debate between District Attorney Alvin Bragg's team and Trump's lawyers over whether the video could be aired in Trump's criminal hush money trial. Judge Juan Merchan ultimately ruled the transcript was permissible but not the video. Speaking to MSNBC on Monday...
Former President Donald Trump's latest filing in the presidential immunity case that will be heard before the Supreme Court next week has shocked one legal expert for its "audacious" claims. Trump's attorneys Monday filed a 33-page response to special counsel Jack Smith's argument that the former president is not protected from prosecution by blanket immunity and therefore can be tried on election interference charges in Washington D.C. federal court. In this new filing, Trump's attorneys build...
There must be some nostalgia out there among those who support former President Donald Trump and remember when he appeared in public for the first time wearing his signature “Make America Great Again” red hat some nine years ago.
President Biden has nearly erased Donald J. Trump’s early polling advantage, amid signs that the Democratic base has begun to coalesce behind the president despite lingering doubts about the direction of the country, the economy and his age, according to a new survey by The New York Times and Siena College. Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump are now virtually tied, with Mr. Trump holding a 46 percent to 45 percent edge. That is an improvement for Mr. Biden from late February, when Mr. Trump had a sturdier...
