Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD), a possible vice presidential candidate, believes that former Vice President Mike Pence "failed Donald Trump" — but she wouldn't say if she would have certified Joe Biden's win on Jan. 6, 2021. During a Sunday interview on CNN, host Dana Bash asked Noem if Pence was wrong to have certified the election following the Jan. 6 riot. "So when Mike Pence said that he talked to lawyers and he felt that he had absolutely no ability to reject the election on January 6th, do...

Whistleblowers To Further Dismantle Jan. 6 National Guard Narrative About Trump On Wednesday, whistleblowers from the Washington DC National Guard are expected to tell Congressional investigators that former President Donald Trump wanted them deployed, but an Army Secretary, Ryan McCarthy, delayed relaying this to DC National Guard Commander William Walker by at least two hours.

And while these are clearly the most serious of the Republican’s legal troubles — their outcomes could, at least in theory, lead to prison sentences — the presumptive GOP nominee is simultaneously dealing...
WASHINGTON >> The Supreme Court today questioned whether federal prosecutors went too far in bringing obstruction charges against hundreds of participants in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. But it wasn’t clear how the justices would rule in a case that also could affect the prosecution of former President Donald Trump, who faces the same charge for his efforts to overturn his election loss in 2020.
