'What a world': Trump's own immunity claim may end up benefiting Dem foe

A Democratic lawmaker facing three counts of assaulting or impeding federal agents argues that the case against her should be thrown out, citing President Donald Trump's own presidential immunity case as the reason why she should have "legislative immunity" — a move that would backfire on the president and leave a "chilling effect."

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) is fighting back against the Trump administration and is the "latest opponent of President Trump to try to have controversial federal charges against them" dropped, Politico reports Tuesday. McIver was one of several lawmakers arrested after a protest in May outside a Newark immigration center. She faces up to 17 years in prison if convicted next month at trial.

President Donald Trump is aiming to eliminate the long-standing birthright citizenship law in the U.S. Constitution with a case due before the U.S. Supreme Court — but an expert said Tuesday his argument is sorely lacking.

Trump lawyer makes stunning argument to discredit letter to Epstein in court

A lawyer for President Donald Trump argued Monday that a bawdy letter President Donald Trump allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein – that was later released by a Republican-controlled House committee – could not be proven to be the same one described in a report from The Wall Street Journal, making it an “improper” exhibit in court.

The lawyer, Alejandro Brito, made the argument via a court filing late on Monday in the case regarding Trump’s lawsuit against the Journal for its July report on the letter, which Trump has denied writing. The House Oversight Committee – which has a Republican majority and is chaired by Rep. James Comer (R-KY) – released additional files on Epstein in September, which included the letter, a birthday message written atop a crude sketch of a naked woman’s torso.
