Former President Donald Trump spewed his regular “no crime” word salad Thursday amid a tense wait for his hush money jury to issue their verdict.

Trump had his mind on jury instructions as he took to Truth Social from Manhattan criminal court to share his views.

A lawyer who worked with former President Donald Trump suggested he should use his jury deliberation free time in his criminal hush money trial to challenge Judge Juan Merchan's gag order — but that would get immediately smacked down, retired federal Judge John E. Jones III told CNN's Boris Sanchez on Thursday.

The gag order in the case, where Trump is charged with falsification of business records, prohibits him from disparaging witnesses, court officers, and their families — and he has already been fined for contempt of court and threatened with jail after being found to violate it.

A far-right influencer who targeted drag queen story hours has been charged with possession of child pornography, according to police releases and reports.

The Boston Globe revealed Thursday that Stephen Thomas Farrea, a reported member of the neo-Nazi organization Nationalist Social Club-131, was arrested on Friday.

Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts rejected Thursday Democratic senators' demands that he discuss reports that a "Stop the Steal" symbol hung in fellow justice Sam Alito's yard after the U.S. Capitol attacks, reports show.

Roberts told Democratic lawmakers their demand — a chance argue Alito's wife's actions threw into question his ability to fairly judge former President Donald Trump's election interference case defense — would tarnish an important precedent, CNN reports.

The Republican Party is fine with guests bringing guns into the area surrounding the convention center, but hard water bottles will be banned during the national convention this year, documents show.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel cited a proposed ordinance governing anyone crossing the security line into the immediate vicinity of the Republican National Convention. According to the demands, individuals would be required to leave out all non-plastic containers, tennis balls, and other items.

The co-hosts of "The View" aren't buying Donald Trump's denials that he used racist terms while working as the host "The Apprentice" reality TV show.

A recent column by a former NBC producer whose nondisclosure agreement expired this year claimed that there is a video of Trump spewing the N-word on the set of the show.

A bombshell claim from a onetime producer of "The Apprentice" who says former President Donald Trump used the N-word on tape sent a shockwave rippling through social media Thursday.

Now grim predictions are mounting that reports of the disturbing comment — one of many secrets revealed by Bill Pruit upon the expiration of his non-disclosure agreement — will only improve the chances of the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee.

An NBC executive on Thursday rekindled long-standing rumors about former President Donald Trump being caught on tape making explicitly racist statements during his tenure as host of "The Apprentice."

In a column for Slate, producer Bill Pruitt alleged that there was a video of Trump calling an "Apprentice" contestant the N-word, which is also a claim that has been made by other sources in the past.
