We’re only one week into the first criminal trial of Donald Trump, yet he and his MAGA allies are already intervening to identify and drive off the jury anyone they think could pose a risk to the former president.

Fox News host Sean Hannity calls out President Biden’s gaffes ahead of the 2024 election on "Hannity." SEAN HANNITY: Biden is a lot of things at this point in his life, but sharp as a knife isn't exactly one of them. In fact, Joe has never been regarded as sharp as a knife his entire career. A serial plagiarizer, who cheated in law school, still finished near the bottom of his class. A short time later, he became a very mediocre senator from Delaware who made friends with, let's see, a former...
Fox News host Sean Hannity reflects on O.J. Simpson’s "trial of the century" following his death on "Hannity." SEAN HANNITY: We begin in Las Vegas, where O.J.

SUSPENDED NPR WHISTLEBLOWER BLASTS CEO KATHERINE MAHER: LACKS PERSPECTIVE ON WHAT AMERICA 'IS ALL ABOUT' He hates him for...
Fox News host Eric Shawn argued that Michael Cohen's claim that Donald Trump made hush money payments to influence the 2016 election was more believable because he had a tape recording of the former president. During an interview on Sunday, former federal prosecutor Katie Cherkasky asserted that prosecutors in the case had an uphill battle because their star witnesses were former attorney Michael Cohen and adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Trump is accused of falsifying business records...
A prominent group of Republicans who oppose Donald Trump are on a mission to convince voters who backed the former president in both 2016 and 2020 to switch their support to President Joe Biden in 2024 — and they're spending a lot of money to help in their effort. Republican Voters Against Trump (RVAT) announced a $50 million multi-platform ad campaign that is designed "both to troll the twice-impeached, four times-indicted ex-president and to genuinely reach out to his most loyal supporters,"...
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) was fact-checked by Fox News about former President Donald Trump's administration after she attacked Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama.

Fox News seems to be working some Donald Trump damage control by way of Chick-fil-A. Trump reportedly pulled in more than $50 million at a billionaire-hosted Florida fundraising event over the weekend. Fox News described the event as filled with “heavy hitters,” and gleefully characterized the money raised as a “historic” haul. A short while later stories came out describing the fundraising event less as an achievement for the history books and more of an event where Trump promised a room full...
