Fox News host Howard Kurtz took a shot at Donald Trump because the former president's "own party" has largely refused to defend him against allegations made by the House select committee on Jan. 6.

"We've seen Republicans say the hearings are a joke, nobody cares, time to move on, Joe Biden is a failure," Kurtz told his guest. "But what we haven't seen are the RNC or Republican leaders coming out and saying, 'You know what? Trump is right on the substance. The election was rigged.'"

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says he is praying about potentially facing off against former President Donald Trump in a 2024 campaign for the presidency.

Pompeo was asked about his presidential ambitions during an interview on Fox News with host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said over the weekend that the Jan. 6 Select Committee is preparing to release additional evidence about a scheme to grift money from people who believe that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

At a hearing last week, Lofgren revealed that the Trump campaign "used these false claims of election fraud to raise hundreds of millions of dollars from supporters who were told their donations were for the legal fight in the courts. But the Trump campaign didn't use the money for that. The 'Big Lie' was also a big ripoff."

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) on Sunday volunteered to speak with the Jan. 6 Select Committee over text messages he sent to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows about overturning the 2020 election.

During an interview on Fox News Sunday guest host Shannon Bream asked Lee about the criticism he has received for pursuing an alternate slate of electors that would reject the election of Joe Biden.

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy suggested that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) could not authentically represent the Hispanic community because she drives a Tesla automobile.

"Think about the face of the Democrat [sic] Party Latino," Campos-Duffy said on Fox & Friends Thursday. "It's AOC. She's, you know, from Westchester. She barely speaks Spanish. She drives a Tesla. She's a social justice warrior from Boston University. She pro-abortion."

Conservative podcaster Steve Bannon used a portion of his show on Tuesday to defend Rudy Giuliani against allegations that he was drunk on election night when he demanded that then-President Donald Trump prematurely declare victory.

Bernard Kerik, who was pardoned by Trump, told Bannon that he never saw Giuliani take a drink on election night.

C-SPAN host John McArdle disconnected a Republican caller on Tuesday after she said that President Joe Biden is "clearly a doppelganger."

During C-SPAN's Washington Journal program, a woman from Apex, North Carolina called in with a comment for conservative columnist Cal Thomas.

According to an SEC filing on Monday morning, reported by Axios, a federal review of the planned merger between Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC) and Donald Trump's "Truth Social" social media endeavor is being expanded with questions being raised.

The report, by Dan Primak of Axios, states the so-called "blank check" company has already drawn interest from federal regulators and a delay in the merger could have financial implications for both companies.

Fox News host Howard Kurtz corrected Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes on Sunday after he claimed that the conservative network "destroyed" MSNBC by not airing primetime hearings about the attacks of Jan. 6, 2021.

During an interview on Fox News, Nunes argued that the recent hearings were biased because Donald Trump's supporters are not members of the Jan. 6 Committee.

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy suggested on Sunday that now is the wrong time to deal with "luxury issues" like women's rights or school shootings.

During a discussion on Fox & Friends, co-host Will Cain predicted that Democratic leaders will focus on gun control and the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Members of the GOP are "looking for an off-ramp" after Donald Trump effectively seized control of the Republican Party.

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) told Fox News host Bret Baier that he hoped that the future of Republican Party leadership does not include Trump.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk rejected the idea that he might purchase a conservative television outlet that is known for supporting former President Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 election.

On Thursday, OAN CEO Robert Herring claimed that "somebody" contacted him about Musk purchasing the network.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) suggested on Thursday that Democrats may be planning "false flag" violence following the midterm elections.

During an interview with conservative broadcaster Steve Bannon on Real America's Voice, Gaetz outlined a conspiracy theory about the midterm elections.
