Michael Cohen spoke to MSNBC on Thursday about someone calling himself a "private investigator" trying to deliver a package to him. Ultimately, the truth came out that he was a process server trying to hand over a subpoena.

Detailing the scene to Nicolle Wallace, Cohen explained that the documents made it look like it was a lawsuit from The People of New York (Letitia James) vs. a list of several people.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued President Joe Biden on Wednesday for signing last year’s federal government funding package, arguing it was unlawfully passed out of Congress.

In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Lubbock, Paxton asserts the U.S. House requires a physical majority of its members to pass legislation. But most members of the House voted by proxy on the funding package, which Paxton argues makes it null.

Sen. John Fetterman's (D-PA) office disclosed that the senator checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for treatment for clinical depression.

“While John has experienced depression off and on throughout his life, it only became severe in recent weeks," his office said in the statement.

President Joe Biden on Thursday gave details about the objects that have been spotted over the U.S. since the spy balloon from China.

At the close of the press conference, the room erupted with questions being shouted from the media. Biden turned to walk away but paused about halfway to the door and turned. It wasn't clear if he said anything as he wasn't near the microphone but he did return to the podium.

President Joe Biden on Thursday spoke to the nation about the unidentified flying objects that have been shot down over the past week.

He explained that he immediately gave the order to shoot the objects down out of concern over air traffic and what they might have observed. There was no information indicating that the objects were also from China. Biden said that they are believed to be private companies, recreation or private institutions doing their own research.

A Georgia grand jury report alleges that "one or more witnesses" of Donald Trump's allies may have lied under oath.

The grand jury's report, which was released in part on Thursday morning, did not specifically identify which witnesses may have committed perjury but it did recommend that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis "seek appropriate indictments for such crimes where the evidence is compelling."

Police officers were among the Washington, D.C. residents who were violently attacked when a mob of Donald Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021 in the hope of preventing the certification of now-President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory. According to federal prosecutors for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the far-right groups that were involved in the Capitol insurrection included, among others, the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers and QAnon.

Yet activists who monitor far-right extremist groups have been warning about their efforts to ally themselves with members of law enforcement. According to the Associated Press, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was, in late 2020, fed information by an "intelligence officer" for the Metropolitan Police. The Miami-born Tarrio is facing federal seditious conspiracy charges along with four other members of the Proud Boys.

Former South Carolina governor and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, the first major Republican candidate to formally declare a challenge to former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential nomination, has created a problem for herself by refusing to directly go after her one-time boss, argued longtime GOP strategist Scott Jennings on CNN Thursday.

Haley's unwillingness to deal with the issue was exemplified by an interview in which she told NBC's Craig Melvin she wouldn't focus on talking about Trump.

Newly unearthed call logs show that Republican state legislators in Georgia were eager and willing to help former President Donald Trump toss out their state's 2020 election results.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that call logs unearthed by the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riots show that Trump's campaign called more than 100 GOP state legislators to gauge their support for organizing a slate of fake presidential electors who would back Trump instead of President Joe Biden, who won the Peach State in 2020 by nearly 12,000 votes.

Rep. George Santos (R-NY) raised suspiciously high totals for a recount of a congressional race he lost by more than 12 points.

Santos seized onto the recount fever that gripped the Republican Party after the 2020 election and set up the fundraising committee “Devolder Santos for Congress Recount” (DSCR) immediately after Election Day that raised and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars without ever actually conducting the tabulation, reported The Daily Beast.

Joe Biden will complete a routine medical checkup on Thursday, a crucial step for the oldest-ever US president ahead of his expected fight for reelection in 2024.

The White House has promised to release the report by the 80-year-old president's doctor, as it also did during his previous checkup in 2021.

In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Lubbock, Paxton asserts the U.S. House requires a physical majority of its members to pass legislation. But most members of the House voted by proxy on the funding package, which Paxton argues makes it null.

The funding package, which passed out of the U.S. House to Biden’s desk last December, funds federal programs for the rest of the fiscal year. Only 201 members were in the chamber for the vote, with most other members having returned to their districts for the holiday recess. Members were able to vote by proxy under rules enacted by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi originally to account for the COVID-19 pandemic.
