Lawyer floored as Trump's 'voter suppression spaghetti' meets its match in court

A legal expert was floored on Thursday after Fulton County, Georgia's lawyers filed a motion to quash President Donald Trump's attempts to keep the voter data his administration recently seized during an FBI raid.

Fulton County's lawyers argued in the court filing that the Trump administration's attempts to conceal evidence from the judge is "arbitrary and capricious," given that the government's case relies on the testimony of the witness. In this case, the government is seeking to limit what an FBI agent testified to under oath when they helped secure the warrant that authorized the raid on Fulton County's election office.

'Kind of silly': Conservative warns GOP that dismissing Joe Kent's revolt is a mistake

When Joe Kent walked away from his post as the nation's top counterterrorism official to protest the Iran war, the Trump administration and Republican establishment treated it like a minor blip. But Kent's exit has cracked open a fault line that's proving much harder to ignore than party insiders hoped, Politico reported Thursday.

Within 36 hours, former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson brought Kent onto his massive podcast, and MAGA darling Candace Owens followed suit with a high-profile event at the Trump Hotel. The anti-war populist right seized the moment, and suddenly the narrative shifted from a routine resignation to a potential party-splitting crisis.

Tulsi Gabbard heard Trump's 'clarion call' — and it might cost her dearly: analyst

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard appears to have heard President Donald Trump's "clarion call," and it cost her dearly, according to one analyst.

During a hearing before the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday, Gabbard ducked and dodged her way around a question about whether Iran posed an "imminent threat" to the U.S. from Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA). Instead, Gabbard insisted that "it would be a disservice to the American people to answer with a mere yes or no."

He also bashed America's allies in Europe for not helping the U.S. reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which the Iranian regime effectively blockaded to American and Israeli ships after the two countries began a coordinated bombing campaign in Iran in late February.
