The Supreme Court struggled Tuesday with the government’s case against 350 Jan. 6 defendants from the 2021 protest at the Capitol, with justices pondering how a law written in the wake of the Enron document-shredding scandal can be applied to those who brought the 2020 election certification to a halt.
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...
Special counsel Jack Smith’s latest brief to the Supreme Court on Donald Trump’s immunity claim strives to ensure that the justices' decision puts the Jan. 6 trial back on track, ending the detour the former president has extracted from a weak argument. The bulk of the brief Smith filed Monday is a methodical rejection of Trump’s far-fetched claims to immunity from prosecution for attempting to overturn the 2020 election. Smith and his Supreme Court specialist, Michael Dreeben, closely follow...
Donald Trump lost a bid Thursday to pause a string of lawsuits accusing him of inciting the U.S. Capitol attack, while the former president fights his 2020 election interference criminal case in Washington.
By Andrew Kaczynski, CNN (CNN) — A New York-based campaign official for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who raised the possibility that voting for the independent presidential candidate would help Donald Trump defeat President Joe Biden previously promoted false claims that the 2020 election was rigged and attended “Stop the Steal” rallies after the election, including the rally on
Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, has reportedly decided on the college he wants to attend. If you’re wondering why this is sports news, it’s because young Barron is freakishly tall and has been tipped to play college basketball, though he’s hardly indicated such intentions. The 18-year-old, who stands at 6’ 7”, will soon graduate …
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.

At least being president involves minimal lifting
As this week has brought into sharp relief, Donald Trump’s principal legal problem is that he’s facing 88 criminal counts, including an ongoing criminal trial that got underway in New York City on Monday. It’s one of four pending cases against the former president across three jurisdictions. 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.
Donald Trump has made numerous statements suggesting that he plans to pardon his supporters who've been convicted of crimes related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. In one interview from 2022, he said he's considering "full pardons with an apology to many" if he's elected president. But a new report suggests that may be wishful thinking.
