'Hypocrisy': Trump's claim about police labeled 'false and absurd' by conservative

Former President Donald Trump casts himself as a champion of law enforcement, having paid a visit to the funeral of fallen NYPD officer Jonathan Diller — but it's completely insincere, said former GOP strategist Tim Miller on MSNBC.

That's because the former president continues to demand the release of people accused and convicted of beating police officers during the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, an event where numerous police were injured and a handful died in the days following, and he's even suggested he'll pardon them if given another term.

Judge will 'suck it up': Latest Trump attacks expected to be shrugged off to avoid delay

The New York judge overseeing Donald Trump's hush money case might will overlook the former president's attacks on his daughter to avoid delaying the trial, an expert said Friday.

As hopes for an alternative to Donald Trump for the GOP's 2024 nomination for president fade, billionaire donors who once slammed him for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot are reevaluating their support — and The Washington Post reports many are returning to the Trump fold.

An example is billionaire and GOP megadonor Nelson Peltz, who called the Capitol riot a "disgrace" and expressed regret that he voted for Trump.
