Trump's legal difficulties have more in common with Reality Winner than Biden: report

Donald Trump likes to compare the alleged misconduct at the heart of his federal indictment to the actions of his former vice president Mike Pence, or even to President Joe Biden, but the reality of the former president's case is closer to that of ex-intelligence contractor Reality Winner.

Trump's purported hoarding of documents including those with national security information goes far beyond the political comparisons he is making, but there are real-world examples to consider. Comparisons to cases actually charged under the Section 793(e) of the Espionage Act, which constitutes most of the charges in Trump's case, "may be more instructive when looking at the stakes Trump faces," according to ABC News.

'Bombshell': Internal docs highlight 'partisan hack job' in case now before Supreme Court

As the U.S. Supreme Court nears a decision on President Joe Biden's student debt relief proposal, an advocacy group on Friday published internal records revealing the "anxiety and confusion" of staffers at a loan company critics say is being spuriously used by Republican attorneys general in their attack on the president's plan.

Internal documents from the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority (MOHELA)—a private state-chartered lender—obtained by the Student Borrower Protection Center (SBPC) under Missouri's Sunshine Law show that agency employees were confused by then-state Attorney General Eric Schmitt's lawsuit and argument that Biden's relief plan could harm the company.

In an interview on Friday evening with CNN's Kaitlan Collins, RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel defended that decision.

But all indications are that Trump doesn’t understand the case he’s citing, MSNBC reports.
