Bombshell appeals court ruling says NY district attorney can subpoena Trump's tax returns

On CNN Friday, former Mitch McConnell adviser Scott Jennings slammed Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) for her comments joking that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was a suicide bomber.

"Scott, was it just another day at the office and they got these folks in the far right in certain parts of the caucus that they just can't control?" asked anchor Jim Acosta.

Ron Watkins, the longtime QAnon influencer who is now running for Congress in Arizona, has set up a fundraising operation that relies on cryptocurrency -- but one reporter thinks that Watkins may be running afoul of the law.

The Informant's Nick Martin writes on Twitter that Watkins this week started soliciting "no more than $2,000 worth of Bitcoin" in donations from his supporters.

Newsmax host Steve Cortes, who once worked as a campaign adviser for former president Donald Trump, has been let go by the right-wing network, the Daily Beast reported Friday, citing five sources familiar with the matter.

"Tensions between Cortes and the MAGA cable network had long been simmering, sources suggested, but it was the Trump loyalist's vehement disagreement—which he wasn't shy about publicly voicing—with Newsmax's company-wide vaccine rules that was the final straw," the site reported. "Earlier this month, Newsmax instituted a rule that all employees must either be vaccinated or submit to weekly COVID testing. The news of such a policy, which was in compliance with the Biden administration's policy for businesses with more than 100 employees, pushed Cortes to unequivocally declare on Twitter that he wouldn't have any part of it."
