Donald Trump on Saturday announced a new position for Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes, prompting one reporter to describe purported "conflicts of interest."

Trump has caused a media firestorm with his nominations for his second term in office, with candidates like Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, and Robert F. Kennedy Dr. drawing additional scrutiny. But over the weekend, Trump announced that Nunes would be Chairman of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, "which consists of distinguished citizens from outside of the Federal Government."

Donald Trump may see some backlash from his own supporters, according to a political analyst.

ABC has agreed to give $15 million to Donald Trump’s presidential library to resolve a defamation lawsuit, according to reports.

Trump sued the media giant after anchor George Stephanopoulos said on air that the president-elect had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll years ago. In reality, the former and incoming president was found liable for defaming Carroll and sexually abusing her.

On Wednesday, Democrat-turned- independent Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema voted to block President Joe Biden's nominee, Lauren McFerran, from serving another five-year term on the National Labor Relations Board.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Katie Phang Show" on Saturday, a former Southern District of New York prosecutor all but rolled her eyes when asked a long-shot bid from one of Donald Trump's lawyers to get his client's civil fraud conviction tossed with a plea to New York Attorney General Letitia "Tish" James.

Speaking with Phang, herself also a former prosecutor, attorney Kristy Greenberg explained that there is no reason for the president-elect's civil trials to be dismissed in the same way his federal trials were dropped after he won re-election.

That brought them to the ruling in Judge Arthur Engoron's courtroom where the Trump was found to have committed business fraud and was walloped with a $364 million penalty for ill-gotten gains.

As host Phang pointed out, Trump's attorneys have been making multiple appeals to get everything tossed, with no luck so far.

'Talk about Tish James and her response when she said 'Nah, we are not going to voluntarily dismiss this because it is civil case' and the law is legion when it comes to saying you can pursue civil remedies and civil actions against sitting presidents," host Phang prompted her guest.

"Right, I mean, the law there is very clear," Greenberg replied. "The Supreme Court has said if you are talking about civil litigation, that can go on even while he is sitting as president–– the law is crystal clear there."

"She cites it and she doesn't get into the back and forth with Trump's lawyer where his letter is saying what about unity, we need unity for the country? And her response doesn't even address that because come on, that's not really serious," she pointed out.

"She deals with the law which is clear this case is not going anywhere. It is fully briefed on appeal, we will see what the appellate court does."

One of President-elect Donald Trump's first executive orders will reportedly be a direct challenge to the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. And he's banking on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to uphold his point of view.

Politico reported Saturday that Trump's planned executive order would be aimed at preventing children of undocumented immigrants born in the United States from having birthright citizenship. Because presidents can't undo constitutional provisions on their own, it's likely that litigation over the order will eventually make its way to the High Court, which has a six-member conservative majority (including three judges Trump himself appointed).

In a recent interview, a former FBI assistant director waved the red flag about the almost unchecked power Donald Trump's pick to be the next director of the FBI will have to subvert investigations and go around the Department of Justice on a whim.

According to a report from the Guardian, Frank Figliuzzi explained there is a real concern within the department that a confirmed Kash Patel would demand everything the FBI has on Donald Trump over the years and pore over every word looking for confidential informants who have worked with investigators.

TOPEKA — Demand for abortion in Kansas skyrocketed by 58% during 2023 in response to near-total bans on the procedure in Missouri and Oklahoma and strict limits in other Midwest states.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment says Kansas documented 7,849 abortions in 2021. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Roe v. Wade and the 2019 Kansas Supreme Court’s opinion that women had a state constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy were factors in the rise in Kansas abortions to 12,319 in 2022.
