Marjorie Taylor Greene

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) bid to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) appears to have crashed and burned and many of her Republican colleagues couldn't be happier about it.

In interviews with Axios, several House Republicans expressed confidence that Greene's crusade to end Johnson's speakership was dead, especially after multiple House Democrats have said they would bail him out should Greene bring the motion to the floor.

Republicans are trying to reframe their legislative performance since taking over with a range of excuses.

Speaking to the Washington Post, Rep. Blake Moore (R-UT) criticized hardliners who have demanded their way or the highway when passing legislation in the House.

Democratic strategist Donna Brazile responded calmly to an animated Sarah Isgur, a former Trump administration official, after she accused liberals of not caring about free speech.

The confrontation came during a Sunday panel on ABC's This Week program. Isgur criticized President Joe Biden, who has said he decided to run in reaction to a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.

Fox News legal analyst Andy McCarthy told host Howard Kurtz that he found legal developments in Donald Trump's hush money trial "very disturbing" for the former president.

On the Fox News Media Buzz program Sunday, Kurtz asked McCarthy about defense attorney Emil Bove's strategy of cross-examining former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker in the Manhattan trial. Pecker testified that he ran a so-called "catch-and-kill" scheme to scuttle negative stories about Trump.

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo confronted House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) for conducting "investigations that go nowhere."

During the Sunday Morning Futures program on Fox News, Bartiromo said Americans were upset at the prosecutions of former President Donald Trump.

Based upon the fact that the Fox News daily drumbeat about President Joe Biden's impeachment being right around the corner has gone noticeably silent, House Republicans have seemingly admitted defeat.

That is the opinion of political columnist Paul Waldman who wrote for MSNBC that the search party for Biden's criminal acts came up empty-handed and the GOP leaders of the House committees are privately telling their colleagues they are giving up.

Former President Donald Trump's attorney Alina Habba appeared to slip up in an interview on Fox News, complaining that it's not fair Trump should be criminally tried with a jury from a "blue state" like Manhattan.

The former president faces charges of felony business fraud for allegedly concealing hush payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels to conceal an affair, which Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg characterizes as a scheme to defraud voters in the 2016 election out of essential information. Trump denies the payments were illegal and further denies the affair even happened.

The House Republican rebels campaigning to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson from his role have seemingly dialed back their criticisms of the speaker after Donald Trump threw his support behind him.

Johnson's speakership quickly came under threat after Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to boot him, and won the backing of Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ). The lawmakers cite Johnson's $95 billion foreign aid plan which included money for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific but nothing for the U.S. border as their reason for opposing him.

Donald Trump could be facing a rebuke from one of the Supreme Court’s most conservative justices — and one that he appointed to the bench.

Several legal experts believe Amy Coney Barrett is leaning against the former president after listening to the arguments made in his claim that he should have presidential immunity from criminal prosecution.

Former federal prosecutor Elie Honig was flabbergasted by the sheer number of times former President Donald Trump appears to have violated Judge Juan Merchan's gag order in his Manhattan criminal trial — and emphasized on a CNN panel on Thursday, that in all his years of trying cases, he had never seen anything like it.

Trump, who is charged with felony business fraud for trying to conceal alleged hush payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels to effectively defraud the 2016 presidential election, has been barred from attacking witnesses in the case — but has repeatedly gone after several of them anyway, including his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen.

American historian and expert on authoritarianism Ruth Ben-Ghiat said Donald Trump's MAGA movement had won by getting the former president's immunity hearing before the Supreme Court — no matter how the justices rule.

Taking to social media, she wrote, "Whatever the Court does, having this case heard and the idea of having immunity for a military coup taken seriously by being debated is a big victory in the information war that MAGA and allies wage alongside legal battles. Authoritarians specialize in normalizing extreme."

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan briefly stunned John Sauer, Donald Trump's attorney, by asking if the president could stage a coup.

The confrontation came Thursday during oral arguments before the high court about whether Trump enjoys presidential immunity for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Trump is fighting charges of election interference from special counsel Jack Smith.
