'Zero backbone': Fox News' 'lapdog' White House reporter ripped for letting Trump walk all over CNN

The FBI raid of Mar-A-Lago puts a big target on the back of one of Donald Trump's attorneys, according to legal experts.

According to three sources, Trump defense attorney Evan Corcoran -- who also represented Steve Bannon at his trial for contempt of Congress -- had been handling negotiations with the Department of Justice about the location of classified and sensitive material the former president took home with him from the White House, and experts agreed the search reveals a breakdown in those negotiations, reported The Daily Beast.

On Thursday, NBC News reported that a shareholder of a private equity firm is alleging in a lawsuit that an unusual deal gave Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin $8.5 million in stock benefits at the expense of police and firefighters — and he paid no taxes on it.

"A complex corporate transaction had gone through at the Carlyle Group, the powerful private equity company that Youngkin led as co-chief executive. Under the deal, approved by the Carlyle board and code-named 'Project Phoenix,' he began receiving $8.5 million worth of Carlyle stock, tax-free, according to court documents," reported Gretchen Morgenson. "The Project Phoenix payout came on top of $54 million in compensation Youngkin had received from Carlyle during the previous two years, regulatory records show. Youngkin retired from Carlyle on Sept. 30, 2020; he won the governor’s election in November 2021."

On CNN Thursday, anchor Brianna Keilar put former White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney under a microscope when he tried to cast aspersions on the FBI's investigation of classified documents hoarded at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago country club in Palm Beach, Florida.

"You folks know I've been critical of the president's conduct on January 6th," said Mulvaney. "But if it is just about documents, that's almost absurd. That's the same thing that the FBI was investigating Hillary Clinton for, and I don't remember them invading her home. If you are Republican, the reason you're asking to act the way you are, the last 48 hours, is that you really do feel like you're not getting fair treatment from your own government and that's a very dangerous place to be."
