The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board is alarmed by President Donald Trump's hints he'll give F-35 fighter jets to the Turkish government — which, despite being a NATO ally on paper, has disconcerting ties to Russia.

This comes after Trump recently said that Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a notorious autocrat who has cracked down on freedom in his country, “is a strong member of NATO. I’m going to probably do something that’s going to make him very happy. He’s a respected man, a respected leader, and he’s been a friend of mine.”

President Donald Trump stunned his critics on Thursday with a remark he made about his kids during an interview on CNBC.

Trump was asked by CNBC's Joe Kernen about allegations that his children are using insider information to gain favorable business deals. The president recently disclosed that he earned more than $2 billion during his second term, alarming many political analysts and ethics experts.

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has been indicted on 16 criminal charges by a grand jury in New Orleans.

According to The Times-Picayune, jurors "handed up the indictment at New Orleans’ criminal courthouse ... The attorney general faces eight felony counts of malfeasance and another eight felony counts of intimidation."

A legal expert shared a sobering warning on Thursday about President Donald Trump's continued efforts to dismantle birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court rebuffed his latest attempt.

Cody Wofsy, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project, told Michael Popok, a lawyer and host of "The Intersection" podcast, on a recent episode that the Trump administration's birthright citizenship case was "just the tip of the spear." Last year, the administration signed an executive order stripping birthright citizenship from people who are born in the country but whose parents are here illegally. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Wednesday that the executive order was unconstitutional.

Former special counsel Jack Smith has been a constant target of fury and legal threats by President Donald Trump, dating back to even before the election, when the famed prosecutor was helming a pair of federal criminal cases against him.

But Smith doesn't dwell much on the possibility that Trump's Justice Department will fabricate some charges against him, he told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace in an exclusive interview on Thursday. There's something he worries a lot more about.

A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that the Trump administration's legal strategy for detaining longtime undocumented residents without bond hearings is "a complete fantasy."

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, 2-1, the release of three men who had been locked up without any hearing to contest their detention.

Former special counsel Jack Smith outlined his fears and beliefs about the direction of the country in a far-reaching interview with MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace, exclusively aired Thursday on "Deadline: White House."

Smith, who prosecuted the two federal cases against President Donald Trump, told Wallace that it is important this 4th of July "to celebrate the public servants ... the people I spent my career working shoulder to shoulder with."

Newly obtained video reviewed by The Bulwark on Thursday showed a dramatic scene at a home in Venice, Florida, last month, where the niece and nephew of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn squared up to brawl with Liz Crokin, a far-right conspiracy theorist reporter who — much like Flynn himself — has promoted the QAnon movement.

The incident, connected to Flynn's nonprofit, culminated in shouting, threats, and slurs being flung every which way, Will Sommer reported.
