Joe Biden

Donald Trump and his allies are falsely claiming President Joe Biden, the U.S. Dept. of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation had a plot to assassinate his top political rival, the ex-president, during the execution of a search warrant in 2022 at Mar-a-Lago. Critics, including law enforcement experts, are blasting Trump and his MAGA associates for the "dangerous" lie.

On Tuesday a U.S. District Judge unsealed court documents in Special Counsel Jack Smith's Espionage Act case against Trump where he faces 40 felony counts, most over his alleged unlawful removal, retention, and refusal to return classified documents including some of the nation's top nuclear secrets.

If presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump defeats incumbent President Joe Biden in November, he would — under the United States' current rules and presidential term limit — be required to leave office on January 20, 2029.

But some of Trump's critics fear that if he becomes president again, he will refuse to leave the White House when the time comes.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has found some surprising common ground with House Democrats — over a proposal to force disclosure of presidential tax returns.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the bill, also sponsored by Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), "would force presidents and vice presidents to disclose their tax filings for the two years before entering the White House, for the years while in office, and for two years afterward" and "compel them, along with close family members such as children, siblings and in-laws, to disclose payments from foreign entities as well as large gifts and loans from family members."

The Democratic National Committee is rushing ahead with an initiative to define Donald Trump's potential running mates as MAGA extremists.

The DNC is coordinating with President Joe Biden's campaign to lump all of Trump's VP candidates together as "all the same" in backing "ultra-MAGA" positions on the 2020 election, reproductive rights and other issues, and they're planning to use the candidates' own words against them, reported Axios.

Former Trump White House communications official Mike Dubke tried to defend Trump's back-and-forth stance on contraception this week on CNN — only to be laughed at by analyst Bakari Sellers.

This comes after Trump appeared to open the door to restricting birth control in an interview, but then swiftly reversed course after media attention and said he would do no such thing.

CNN legal analyst Elliot Williams on Tuesday made short work of a new claim made by former President Donald Trump and his allies that President Joe Biden had authorized the FBI to assassinate him when it executed a search warrant as his Mar-a-Lago resort to retrieve top-secret government documents.

While discussing new revelations in the Mar-a-Lago documents case, host Brianna Keilar asked Williams to comment on the fact that the FBI was authored to use "deadly force" if necessary when conducting the search.

Donald Trump on Tuesday walked back remarks that he was open to restrictions on contraception, after an outcry that underlined his presidential campaign's vulnerability on reproductive rights issues.

"I have never, and will never advocate imposing restrictions on birth control, or other contraceptives," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, using all caps.

When House Republicans in February smacked down a border bill Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called "the strongest, most comprehensive border security bill we've seen in a generation," Democratic lawmakers said the reason was for political gain.

On Tuesday, former Vice President Mike Pence shared News Nation's report about his trip to the US-Mexico border, writing via X/Twitter: "Visited the southern border today to see the #BidenBorderCrisis firsthand as a deeply concerned citizen. The crisis at our southern border affects all 50 states. It’s time for Joe Biden to take this crisis seriously & Secure Our Border Now!"

Rudy Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor and mayor of New York City, shared a swiftly debunked conspiracy theory Tuesday that holds routine language in a new court filing shows President Joe Biden was plotting to assassinate former President Donald Trump.

Giuliani took to X late Tuesday night to echo a claim first made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene that newly revealed language in Trump's Mar-a-Lago search warrant regarding the use of deadly force.

Former President Donald Trump was subjected to a swift and ruthless fact-check Tuesday after he raged about a new court filing that showed the FBI was authorized to use deadly force when executing a search warrant at his Mar-a-Lago country club in 2022.

Trump told followers on Truth Social that the filing was proof of a political conspiracy against him orchestrated by his political foe in the upcoming election, President Joe Biden.

MAGA hardliner Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) claimed Tuesday that a hit was put on Donald Trump and she warned him of the danger.

According to the baseless claim Greene posted on X, President Joe Biden's Justice department and Federal Bureau of Investigations were behind the plot.
