'That's not true': CNN's Kaitlan Collins corners Trump lawyer on prosecutor appointment

CNN's Kaitlan Collins cornered former President Donald Trump's attorney Todd Blanche on special counsel Jack Smith's appeal to reverse Judge Aileen Cannon's dismissal of the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case — something that legal experts stressed flew completely in the face of decades of precedent and understanding of how the special counsel regulations are written, and many hope will lead to Cannon being thrown off the case entirely when it restarts.

Blanche tried to argue that Cannon was right to find the case unconstitutional under the Appointments Clause because federal prosecutors are always Senate-confirmed — then when Collins pointed out that tons of them are not, he immediately shifted the goalposts.

Frantic GOP lawmaker repeatedly talks over CNN's Bash as she tries to fact check her

A very aggressive Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) cut off CNN's Dana Bash as she attempted to fact check her by pointing out that Republicans have continually derailed much-needed immigration reform during an interview at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Wednesday.

After letting the GOP lawmaker ramble on about the support Trump has been receiving at the convention, things went sideways when Salazar bashed the Biden administration on border policy and the CNN host corrected her.

"The Dems had, during [Barack] Obama and during Biden, the possibility to pass immigration reform law and give dignity to our people and they didn't" Salazar asserted.

"Well, I mean, I was there, I was in the hallways. This was blown up in large part because the Republican base didn't want it," Bash replied. "They were so close so many times."

Leaning in, Salazar interrupted, "During Obama, we were at this interview when he told us in 2008, that in the first 100 days of his presidency, he was going to sign an immigration reform law. And he invested that political capital in Obamacare. That was a lie! Now let's move forward: 2020, President Biden, he said, I'm going to give an immigration reform law to everyone who votes for me in our community within the first 100 days."

"And it was blown up by Donald Trump, who told —," Bash countered only to have Salazar speak over her and claim, "Not really," as Bash was talked over.

"The Dems had, under Nancy Pelosi, the Dems had Congress and they had Senate and they had, ah — everything passed," Salazar insisted. "BBB was considered and the infrastructure, the $1.9 trillion immigration. Unfortunately, immigration is not a top priority, even though they say it, it's also, I mean, it is impossible when it comes to these issues in Congress right now, which is Dems could have done."

"Again I was covering Congress then they tried and it fell apart for lots of reasons primarily because —," Bash attempted as Salazar interrupted again and blamed it on Nancy Pelosi.

'Backbone of an octopus': Former Haley colleague 'not surprised' she rolled over for Trump

During an appearance on CNN with host Jim Acosta, a former colleague of Nikki Haley, who served with her in the South Carolina House of Representatives, claimed he was not surprised in the least that she would set aside her principles and endorse Donald Trump.

Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, was given a key spot in the Republican National Convention on Tuesday where she endorsed the former president, whom she has previously labeled "unhinged" while claiming re-electing him would be equivalent to "suicide."

On Wednesday CNN contributor Bakari Sellars, a former South Carolina lawmaker, smirked when the topic came up and noted her history of being an opportunist with no fixed beliefs.

"I can tell you is that this surprises no one who knows Nikki Haley," he began. "She has the backbone of an octopus and so politically, when you have somebody who floats with the wind, this is not a surprise."
