On MSNBC Wednesday, Rachel Maddow reported on former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin's business dealings in the Persian Gulf — business dealings made possible because former President Donald Trump rescinded ethics rules preventing them.

"As The Post notes in this reporting, quote, 'Some of the largest investment funds in the Persian Gulf region are controlled by UAE' — the United Arab Emirates — and Qatar and Saudi Arabia and Kuwait," said Maddow. "Two paragraphs later, the post notes that in the very final days of the Trump administration, where did Steven Mnuchin take his last taxpayer-funded overseas junket? He went off to visit, among other concerns, what's that list again? The UAE, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait."

Fox News host Tucker Carlson was blasted as a "bigot" by the Really American PAC on Wednesday. This week, Carlson not only questioned the existence of QAnon because he couldn't find their "website." Carlson also falsely denied that white supremacists were present at the attack on the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, PolitiFact said.

As the video explains, there are photos, videos, indictment documents and testimony proving the opposite of Carlson's latest conspiracy theory.

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to proceed with legal challenges to the 2020 election in Pennsylvania that loomed over the end of the presidential campaign. The state's supreme court had extended the deadline for receiving mail-in votes by a few days, a move opposed by Republicans who correctly feared these ballots would favor Joe Biden over Donald Trump. In the end, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene, and the question became moot after Nov. 3 when it became clear Biden would win the state whether the late-arriving ballots were counted or not.

But Rick Hasen, a top election law expert, noted that the theory that motivated the challenge to the late-arriving ballots remains a live threat at the highest court in the land, describing it as a "ticking time bomb" in a recent blog post.
