Joe Biden

Former Vice President Mike Pence will soon be testifying before a federal grand jury as part of special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into Donald Trump's unsuccessful attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election he lost to Joe Biden, a former federal prosecutor predicted on MSNBC on Saturday.

MSNBC anchor Yasmin Vossoughian interviewed former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner after the DOJ indicated it wanted to interview Pence.

Having learned their lesson years ago when Republican-led House committees investigated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the 2012 Benghazi attack that led spawned seemingly endless hearings and no evidence of wrongdoing, Democrats are preparing to battle back as House Republicans promise to launch multiple investigations and impeachment hearings aimed President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and assorted administration officials.

As longtime political observer Eleanor Clift wrote for the Daily Beast, Democrats have every intention of "punching back" at the incoming House GOP leadership including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) who is obsessed with revenge after previously being kicked off of congressional committees over her first-term stunts.

Chinese President Xi Jinping told North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that Beijing was willing to work with Pyongyang for world peace, North Korean state media said Saturday.

The message from Xi came days after North Korea fired an intercontinental ballistic missile in one of its most powerful tests yet, declaring it would meet perceived US nuclear threats with nukes of its own.

While families across America gathered for Thanksgiving, Donald Trump, Jr. was posting on his father's microblogging website about his brilliant meme shirts.

The real estate heir posted a video to Truth Social about his "25% off everything" sale at his "Shop Don Jr" website.

A new report from the Arizona Republic sheds more light on the coalition of voters who sank Trump-backed Kari Lake's hope of becoming Arizona's next governor.

Essentially, the newspaper found that a significant number of Republican voters in the state crossed over to back Democrat Katie Hobbs in this year's elections, and they also helped put nails in the coffins of fellow MAGA candidates Blake Masters and Mark Finchem.

Democrats are putting together a network of outside groups to respond to looming investigations of President Joe Biden, his family and his administration by the incoming House Republican majority.

House minority leader Kevin McCarthy and Rep. Jim Jordan, who is likely to become chairman of the Judiciary Committee, have already promised investigations of Biden and various cabinet agencies, including the Justice Department, to "frame" the 2024 election campaign, and Democratic groups are preparing to fight back, reported NBC News.

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said on Thursday that it's entirely possible that former Vice President Mike Pence could cooperate with a Department of Justice investigation into former President Donald Trump's efforts to illegally remain in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.

While appearing on CNN, Haberman broke down why Pence might be willing to cooperate with the DOJ in a way he would not be willing to cooperate with the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riots.

According to The New York Times, the Justice Department is now moving to question former Vice President Mike Pence as part of the criminal investigation into the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol — a move that a week after Pence, who was the subject of a pressure campaign by Trump allies to throw out electoral votes in states carried by Joe Biden, flatly refused to cooperate with House investigators in their own parallel investigation.

One of Pence's — or Trump's only potential defenses against him testifying to federal investigators is to claim executive privilege over the conversations he had in the White House. But, as former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti said on Wednesday's edition of MSNBC's "The Beat," there's a key problem with that: he already wrote a book discussing at least some of the information.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled in favor of the imminent handover of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns. Trump was the first president in 40 years not to release his taxes after announcing his first presidential run. The House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee has been seeking access to Mr. Trump's taxes since 2019.

Tuesday's ruling allows a lower court's order to stand, authorizing the documents to be handed over to the committee.

Over the years, many critics of Fox News and its sister channel Fox Business have mocked the right-wing cable media outlets for claiming that liberals and progressives are carrying out a "War On Christmas." It's a claim that's difficult to back up, as Christmas music, Christmas celebrations and Christmas decorations become ubiquitous in a long list of major U.S. cities that are overwhelmingly Democratic — from Boston and Philadelphia to Seattle to Chicago. Nonetheless, many Fox News and Fox Business hosts have insisted, year after year, that there is a movement among liberals, progressives and Democrats to attack Christmas.

But in 2022, ironically, Fox News is, according to Media Matters' Matt Gertz, attacking centrist Democratic President Joe Biden for being "too pro-Christmas."

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough went off on House minority leader Kevin McCarthy for "overselling" his threats to investigate various members of President Joe Biden's administration.

The California Republican has vowed to open a string of investigations of Biden and his family, as well as Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas -- whose resignation he demanded over a surge in undocumented migrants across the southern border -- and the "Morning Joe" host and his panelists ripped his flailing efforts to draw support from the GOP's right flank to become House speaker.

Former President Donald Trump this week lashed out at the United States Supreme Court after it refused to intervene to block congressional access to his tax returns.

Writing on his Truth Social platform, the former president complained not only about the ruling on his taxes, but also about the court's refusal to hear a lawsuit aimed at overturning the results of the 2020 election.
