'He's crazier now': Debate could blow up Fox's effort to hide 'unhinged' Trump from voters

One major difference between the 2020 election and now is that the Fox networks isn't giving Donald Trump the time on its airwaves that it once did.

For years, Fox showed every moment of Trump rallies, but in the 2024 election, the network stopped.

'Shoot Bragg in the head': 'Vile' threats laid out for Judge Cannon in Trump case

Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith has made a new argument to impose a gag order on former President Donald Trump in his classified documents case by displaying death threats from the former president’s most ardent supporters.

According to Law & Crime, Smith attempted to justify his demand for a gag order by showing some of the most egregious death threats Trump supporters made to judges and prosecutors. Smith is seeking to prevent the ex-president from lying about "FBI agents intending to murder him and his family" during the DOJ's 2022 search for classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022.

Jim Jordan throws Trump big assist hours before debate

Less than a day after a Fox News host warned viewers the CIA could meddle in the debate to give President Joe Biden a boost, the House Judiciary Committee appeared to try to do just that — by releasing a transcript of communication from a former official from the secretive agency.

Trump-ally and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Thursday released eight transcripts from former intelligence officials involved in creating a letter that was signed by more than 50 agents. The letter, famously released in October 2020 ahead of a debate between then-President Donald Trump and Biden, led to headlines such as this from Politico: "Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say."

NATO can weather political storms in U.S., France: Stoltenberg

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg on Thursday said the "resilient" military alliance can ride out any political changes in major powers ahead of crunch elections in the United States and France.

Supreme Court declines to rule on Trump immunity before debate

The Supreme Court has been issuing rulings this week — and many expected the Court to have decided whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution by now. But Thursday night is the debate, and the Trump immunity ruling is nowhere to be seen.

The Court issued a number of high-profile rulings this week, including one on the Idaho abortion case and one about "gratuities" for politicians. The Court's session isn't over, but no more rulings will be issued Thursday, so a Trump immunity ruling could come Friday or next week. But that would be too late for the first CNN presidential debate.

'Spewed lies!' Trump is raving mad because Fox News interviewed a Biden spokesperson

As the Supreme Court revealed a slate of decisions with serious implications for the families of opioid crisis victims and gravely ill pregnant women, former President Donald Trump, a convicted felon, addressed the nation he hopes to lead in 2025.

"WHY DOES FOXNEWS PUT ON SO MANY BIDEN PEOPLE, LIKE MICHAEL TYLER, COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR FOR BIDEN, WHO SPEWED LIES WITH VERY LITTLE PUSHBACK?" Trump wanted to know. "AMAZING!!!"

Trump 'unraveling' since leaving office and becoming a 'convicted criminal': George Conway

President Joe Biden has an opportunity to remind voters that Donald Trump is a convicted felon who's been found liable in court for sexual abuse, and conservative attorney George Conway says he should drive that point in over and over in their first presidential debate.

The president and the presumptive Republican nominee will face off Thursday night in Atlanta, and Conway told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that many viewers have not likely seen Trump in awhile and probably have no idea that he's been "unraveling" since leaving the White House under the cloud of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
