Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and his supporters are trying to "bully" holdout Republicans into backing his candidacy for Speaker of the House, warned conservative columnist Matt Lewis in The Daily Beast — and there's a chance it could work.

This comes amid reports from as recently as this weekend that roughly 20 Republican lawmakers were unwilling to back the House Judiciary Chairman and top Freedom Caucus member, to lead the House, a number that is dwindling as key McCarthy allies and Jordan skeptics like Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) have committed to backing him.

Former President Donald Trump complained about the new gag order imposed on him in the D.C. election interference trial by Judge Tanya Chutkan during a campaign stop in Iowa Monday.

"I'm not supposed to be talking about things that bad people do," Trump complained.

Former President Donald Trump vowed to appeal a ruling that prevents him from threatening certain people connected to his federal election subversion trial.

In the ruling issued on Monday, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered Trump and others not to target witnesses, court staff or prosecutors.

A spokesperson for former President Donald Trump reacted to restrictions on his speech by a judge hearing the federal election interference case against him Monday.

The remarks came after U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan on Monday issued a limited gag order preventing Trump from targeting witnesses, court staff or special counsel Jack Smith.

Donald Trump issued a fundraising plea ahead of a hearing in Washington, D.C. federal court that will decide if he would face a gag order in the Jan. 6 election interference case.

District Judge Tanya Chutkan heard arguments Monday from special counsel Jack Smith's office and the former president's attorneys on possible new restrictions on his public comments on the case – and Trump's campaign sent out a fundraising email shortly before asking for donations.

In an interview with FRANCE 24, Israel's former prime minister Ehud Barak said that Israel had no choice but to launch a ground offensive in Gaza if it wants to defeat Hamas definitively. Barak also claimed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had neither the trust of the Israeli people nor that of the army.

Barak said that a ground invasion of Gaza would take weeks, perhaps even several months, after which he suggested control of Gaza should be gradually handed to the Palestinian Authority.

Rudy Giuliani's civil lawsuit against President Joe Biden could end up in the dustbin of history because he lacks the money to pay his lawyers and his own legal difficulties are of more concern.

That is the opinion of attorney Mark Herrmann writing for the Daily Beast who also maintained that the former New York mayor's lawsuit has some merit but is likely headed to an ignoble end.

Oprah Winfrey floated the idea of running for president with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) as part of a unity ticket against Donald Trump, according to a new book.

The Utah Republican, who announced his retirement last month, revealed to author McKay Coppins that the media mogul had suggested he join her in 2020 in a bid to stop the former president from being re-elected, according to excerpts of Romney: A Reckoning published by Axios.

Jewish New Yorkers grieving after Hamas' attack on Israeli civilians are split over the country's response, with some voices urging Israel to defend itself and others increasingly warning of Palestinian "genocide."

New York's Jewish population is the largest outside Israel -- 1.6 million people whose diverse political views regarding the US ally and the Palestinian cause have come to the fore since Hamas' bloody assault and taking of hostages, and the deadly Israeli bombing campaign that followed.

Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu once had a tight relationship — but then President Joe Biden became president of the United States.

Since the attack on Israel, the two leaders began communicating about Hamas and the next steps for a response.

CNN host Jake Tapper pushed back on Sunday after Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley tried to blame President Joe Biden for Republicans' inability to elect a House Speaker.

"This is nearly two weeks after Kevin McCarthy was stripped of his leadership," Tapper told Haley on Sunday. "They still can't even pass a resolution condemning the Hamas attacks. It's starting to look like there is not one House Republican who can get 217 votes."
