Donald Trump continued to use the killing of a New York City police officer as a campaign opportunity, declaring on Friday that mourners showed him "love" at Thursday's wake, while he attacked Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton for not attending the event or calling the victim's family.

"I support the police, I would say at the highest level by far, maybe double or triple," Trump told Fox News' Brian Kilmeade from his private jet (video below).

A conservative strategist who actively opposes Donald Trump made the case Friday for President Joe Biden to target him with "fat jokes" — raising questions about how ugly and low the 2024 presidential campaign might become.

Stuart Stevens, a former strategist for Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and a member of the Never Trump group the Lincoln Project, delivered on CNN his pitch for body shaming the presumptive Republican nominee and former president.

President Joe Biden was joined by two of his Democratic predecessors for a fundraiser that raked in more than $26 million, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough pointed out that Donald Trump would never be able to put together that sort of public display of support.

Former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton joined Biden at the star-studded event moderated by late night host Stephen Colbert in New York City, and The Atlantic's Mark Leibowitz told the "Morning Joe" host that he was struck by that show of unity around the president.

Voting rights defenders on Thursday decried a federal panel's decision to let South Carolina use a congressional map the three judges found to be racially gerrymandered in this year's primary and general elections due to the U.S. Supreme Court's delayed resolution of the case.

The three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for South Carolina in Columbia ruled last August that "race was the predominant motivating factor" in the Republican-controlled state Legislature's design of the 1st Congressional District "and that traditional districting principles subordinated to race."

Allies of failed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake are trying their best to spin her surrender in a defamation lawsuit leveled against her into a victory.

The MAGA candidate declared on Tuesday that she wanted to skip fighting against a defamation lawsuit lodged by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, according a court motion that her attorneys filed.

Donald Trump's former attorney was surprised when the New York judge who levied a gag order on the former president barring him from disparaging jurors, witnesses, and court staffers didn't include himself in the list of people Trump was forbidden from targeting.

"It did jump out at me that he kind of excluded himself," said Tim Parlatore during an appearance on CNN's "Laura Coates Live."

Constitutional lawyer John Eastman warned of a "tyrannical government" Thursday after a judge recommended that he be disbarred.

In an interview with Charlie Kirk, Eastman was defiant about being disbarred for repeating false information while trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell explained his eviction from a Minnesota warehouse by suggesting he didn't pay rent as a favor to his landlord.

A judge this week said Lindell would be evicted for owing First Industrial, L.P. more than $217,000.

A judge is considering Thursday if Georgia election subversion charges against Donald Trump should be thrown out on First Amendment grounds, but a legal expert doesn't expect him to be let off the hook.

The former president's attorney Steve Sadow argued Thursday in a Fulton County courtroom that Trump's conspiracy theories about voter fraud were political speech and therefore protected by the U.S. Constitution. But CNN legal analyst Elie Honig expects the same result as the one that met a similar effort in federal court in Washington, D.C.

An onslaught of conspiracy theories that followed the Baltimore bridge collapse Tuesday was seen by tens of millions of people — many of whom heard the “absurd” claims before they even heard the facts of what happened, CNN reported Thursday.

“Why? Just why?” anchor John Berman asked. “The absurd, not to mention offensive, alternative reality, devoid of facts, was created as search and rescue efforts were underway.”
