President Donald Trump's Federal Communications Commission began its long-threatened crackdown on political late-night talk show interviews by pressuring CBS to pull an already-filmed interview on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" with Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico.

Officials in Fulton County, Georgia, accused the Department of Justice of misleading a judge to obtain a search warrant last month for 2020 election ballots.

Local officials accused President Donald Trump's DOJ of making “serious” omissions in the application filed by the FBI that fails to allege probable cause that a crime had been committed, reported CNN, but instead “does nothing more than describe the types of human errors that its own sources confirm occur in almost every election — without any intentional wrongdoing whatsoever.”
