Right-wing Twitter trolls are boiling in a stew of hatred over this 150-year-old American hero

A federal judge who has harshly condemned the Capitol insurrection will hear former President Donald Trump's bid to block the release of White House documents related to Jan. 6.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who was nominated by former President Barack Obama in 2014, has been assigned to preside over Trump's lawsuit filed Monday, in which he claims the records subpoenaed by a House select committee are protected by executive privilege.

The House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riots on Tuesday unanimously approved a referral of criminal charges against former Trump political strategist Steve Bannon.

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said ahead of the vote that Bannon had "chosen a path toward criminal contempt" and warned other Capitol riot committee witnesses to not follow in his footsteps.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Tuesday issued a scathing assessment of former President Donald Trump and ally Steve Bannon's decision to stonewall the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th attacks on the United States Capitol.

After dismantling Bannon's claims that he is protected by executive privilege from testifying before the committee, Cheney speculated that Trump and Bannon have very personal reasons for not wanting any testimony to go forward.
