Former US president Donald Trump's mould-breaking approach has reshaped decades of Middle East diplomacy, but his legacy in the troubled region has quickly come under attack from his successor.
From unexpected normalisation deals with Israel, to a "maximum pressure" campaign on rival Iran, the businessman-turned-president changed the face of the Middle East.
Conservative attorney tears apart bogus GOP arguments against Trump’s impeachment trial
Former President Donald Trump famously remarked that if he randomly shot people on 5th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, his devotees would still support him. Although Trump never shot anyone on 5 h Avenue, he has been impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives for encouraging a violent insurrection in Washington, D.C. on January 6 — and his Republican devotees are still defending him. Most GOP senators appear unlikely to vote "guilty" in Trump's forthcoming impeachment trial, and conservative San Diego-based attorney Chris Truax tears their arguments to pieces in an article published on January 28 by the conservative website The Bulwark.
On Tuesday, January 26, all but five of the Republicans in the U.S. Senate voted in favor of a resolution claiming that it is unconstitutional to hold an impeachment trial after a president has already left office. The resolution, which came from Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, didn't pass — Democrats now have a narrow Senate majority. But it showed that most Senate Republicans are still afraid to stand up to Trump even though he is no longer president.
On Thursday, The Washington Post reported that Kelli Ward, the newly re-elected chair of the Arizona Republican Party, is facing accusations of election irregularities in the chairmanship race — after she was a key pusher of disinformation and conspiracy theories about the presidential election.
"Sergio Arellano, a Pima County small business owner who lost to Ward by 42 votes, requested a recount of all state party races on Monday, he told The Washington Post. More than two days later, he said, Arizona state party leaders — who report to Ward — have not yet scheduled the audit, which was first reported by the Arizona Republic," wrote Teo Armus.
