CNN's Dana Bash was called out on Sunday by a legal analyst and other onlookers who say the journalist let Jim Jordan lie on her cable news show.

Confronted on CNN earlier in the morning, Rep. Jordan (R-OH) didn't have much to say when asked what happened to Republican party accusations that the 2024 election would be rife with fraud –– until Donald Trump won. Speaking with Bash, the verbose Jordan continuously changed the subject after she pointed that, even on election night, the former and incoming president was still claiming the the election was going to be stolen from him.

Raging Trump demands investigation over 'probably illegal rumors' about his upcoming plans

Donald Trump reverted back to form on Friday morning, just days after he won re-election, by running to his Truth Social platform and raging about rumors about that very same platform.

Now that he will assume the bully pulpit the White House will afford him in January, there is a growing belief he won't need his Truth Social platform going forward and might sell off a major portion of his stock, thereby reaping billions while the stock is high after his win, and then stop using it and thereby cause it to spiral further into irrelevance.

On Friday morning he began making threats.

"There are fake, untrue, and probably illegal rumors and/or statements made by, perhaps, market manipulators or short sellers, that I am interested in selling shares of Truth. THOSE RUMORS OR STATEMENTS ARE FALSE. I HAVE NO INTENTION OF SELLING!" he wrote in his familiar style.

"I hereby request that the people who have set off these fake rumors or statements, and who may have done so in the past, be immediately investigated by the appropriate authorities. Truth is an important part of our historic win, and I deeply believe in it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" he concluded Friday.

'Truth Social is dead in the crib' after election win: analyst

Donald Trump's Truth Social platform may have its future as a viable — yet money-losing — site impacted now that the former president is headed back to the Oval Office, according to an analyst.

The media forum where he has regaled his hardcore MAGA fans since he was booted from Twitter after the Jan. 6 insurrection has little reason to continue existing now that he will have the White House bully pulpit from which to address the nation, make bold announcements and attack his enemies, according to Alex Kirshner of Slate.

'Not smart': Attorney stunned as Rudy Giuliani holds press conference after court

Criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis told NewsNation he was surprised to see former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani holding a press conference just minutes after appearing in federal court for failing to turn over his valuables to two former Georgia election workers.

After appearing in federal court on Thursday, Giuliani ranted that Hunter Biden was connected to the defamation case brought by Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss. A judge has ordered the former mayor to turn over much of his property to the women after he failed to pay the $148 million judgment.

'Scott thinks he won': Ex-colleague shames CNN conservative Jennings for embracing Trump

Echoing the biblical admonition, "...what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" longtime campaign consultant Stuart Stevens brutally shamed conservative adviser Scott Jennings for doing Donald Trump's dirty work at his CNN job.

On the day after the election that saw Trump defeat Vice President Kamala Harris, Jennings used his perch on CNN to lash out at "Never-Trump" conservatives, accusing them of cashing in on the widespread hatred of the convicted felon ex-president.

In response, Stevens took to X to point out that he, along with other founders of the anti-Trump "Lincoln Project," have the courage of their convictions unlike Jennings, whom he wrote lacks "honor and dignity."

He started by noting that the two have worked together before Trump came along.

Beginning, "I don't understand him and he probably doesn't understand me," he added that they previously were colleagues working for "Bush43. That's Bush who won on 'restoring honor and decency in the White House.' He does not support Donald Trump. We both worked for Mitt Romney who, agree or disagree with his politics, is a good and decent man. He does not support Donald Trump."

Adding that Jennings is closely tied to former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) whose wife, former Trump administration official Elaine Chao, was the recipient of racist slurs from the former president.

"As a Republican consultant, supporting the leader of your party will always be the easiest, most expedient path. But I can't support that man. I'm not wired that way. I don't see how, if you believed that honor and dignity matter, if you believe character counts, if you have respect for the men you worked with, including your mentor's wife, how do you embrace Donald Trump?" he asked in the post tagged to Jennings.

Ticking off the reasons for his disgust with Trump, Stevens returned to Jennings and wrote, "I see failure in politics as not standing for the values you support. I'd rather lose an election with a candidate I respect than win with a horrible human being without character. Scott thinks he won. He's a Trump guy. Trump won. I think the price of victory was too high."

'Worst-case scenario': Ex-Trump official points to alarming new Trump initiative

In a column for MSNBC, former Donald Trump administration national security official Olivia Troye wrote with a great degree of certainty that Americans are faced with a bleak future with Donald Trump returning to the Oval Office and noted an initiative the former president has set in motion that could make matters worse.

Troye, who served directly for former vice president Mike Pence as a national security expert, wrote that her largest concern initially is Trump's promise of "retribution" against people he sees as political enemies.

As she explained, "Trump risks putting a target on the back of anyone who opposes him," before warning, "... he would effectively grant immunity to extremists who could commit acts of violence on his behalf."
