Jack Smith

Special counsel Jack Smith earlier this year convinced Judge Beryl Howell that former President Donald Trump should not know about a subpoena for his Twitter account data on the grounds that he "presents a significant risk of tampering with evidence."

As reported by Politico's Kyle Cheney, Smith argued to Howell that letting Trump know about the warrant could "precipitate violence" and lead to Trump engaging in "obstructive conduct" aimed at derailing the investigation.

Donald Trump says despite facing 91 felony charges in four cases across three jurisdictions he doesn't worry about going to jail, according to NBC News' new "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker, who previewed a clip on Friday's "Today" show.

"I want to ask you about the case related to Mar-a-Lago, a new charge suggests you asked a staffer to delete security camera footage so it wouldn't get into the hands of investigators," Welker told Trump in the interview. She was referring to federal criminal charges under the Espionage Act surrounding the ex-president's alleged withholding and corrupt concealment of classified documents.

Former President Donald Trump said this week that he would testify under oath at his trial related to hoarding top-secret government documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort -- but CNN legal analyst Elie Honig argued on Friday that no sane lawyer would allow him to do so.

After playing a video clip of Trump telling NBC News' Kristen Welker that special counsel Jack Smith was a "lunatic" who made a "fake charge" about him ordering the deletion of security camera footage at Mar-a-Lago, Honig argued that the only way for Trump to make this argument legally effective was to say it under oath.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and other "Morning Joe" panelists ridiculed Donald Trump for blabbing another on-air confession to the criminal charges filed against him.

The former president has been indicted in special counsel Jack Smith's investigation of his handling of classified materials at Mar-a-Lago, and he admitted to SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly that he refused to turn over those documents when subpoenaed by the Justice Department because he said the Presidential Records Act gave him the right to keep them.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) suggested Republicans will force a government shutdown if special counsel Jack Smith's prosecutions of former President Donald Trump go forward.

During an interview on Thursday, right-wing host Charlie Kirk asked Jordan if Smith's defunding and decreased immigration would be "bright red lines" in an agreement to keep the government open before a Sept. 30 deadline.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has agreed to shared the names of 30 unindicted co-conspirators with former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants in the Georgia election racketeering case, The Messenger reported on Thursday.

The agreement follows a ruling by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee.

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley is retiring on September 29th. But before he departs, Milley told CNN's Fareed Zakaria on Wednesday that a story about his time serving under former President Donald Trump never happened.

Milley, CNN's Jeremy Herb recalls, was "Trump's chairman of the Joint Chiefs during the final 16 months of his time in office. He had an outsized role in some of the most consequential events of Trump's presidency, including the response to the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 and actions he took after January 6, 2001, when he was concerned that Trump could go 'rogue.'"
