Trump rage tweets at Pelosi with discredited doctored video -- even after Fox News called it fake

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was acquitted and reinstated to his office after a contentious, Republican-controlled impeachment trial where state House investigators detailed the evidence he abused his office to trade political favors, handed a job to a woman he was having an affair with, and fired whistleblowers.

Former President Donald Trump was quick to claim credit for helping his longtime ally avoid conviction, and reports suggest key GOP state senators were threatened with campaigns to oust them from office if they didn't toe the line to protect Paxton.

TMZ chased up to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) to ask about the groping incident in Denver at the Beetlejuice musical.

Bobert had previously said that the incident was really a misunderstanding due to her "overtly animated personality." That was before a video was released showing Boebert and her date groping each other in the theatre.

News that Donald Trump used the back of documents with classified markings as “scrap paper” to make to-do lists for his executive assistant, and her remarks to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigators that Trump told her, “You don’t know anything about the boxes” of classified documents, is a “rock crusher” revelation and “yet another alleged instance of obstruction” against the ex-president, according to legal experts.

ABC News first reported the revelation that Trump had used the backs of documents with classified markings, that they wound up at Mar-a-Lago, and that an aide, Molly Michael, resigned after her concerns over his refusal to return the documents.
