Donald Trump appears "bitter" that others have been able to get more media attention than him for the past several weeks, despite his being shot at and being heralded at the Republican convention, political experts remarked Monday.

Speaking to MSNBC, former Republican Tim Miller and ex-Congresswoman Val Demings (D-FL) said the ex-president was steaming that others have pushed him from the spotlight.

U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) revealed on Monday that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has failed to disclose even more gifts in the form of private flights paid for by GOP megadonor Harlan Crow.

Some campaigns have slogans, but former Hillary Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri said that Kamala Harris has created a "battle cry" for 2024.

Republican Gov. Jeff Landry of Louisiana is dodging questions from the media by citing laws that don't actually exist, a local newspaper accused him Monday.

NOLA.com reporter Andrea Gallo detailed the governor's attempts to avoid requests for details about his government by claiming that public records would be “weaponized to stifle deliberative speech.” The journalist discovered that, during the first five months of Landry's term in office, he refused about a quarter of all public records requests by citing "deliberative process" or "executive privilege."

Geoff Duncan, the former Georgia Republican lieutenant governor, on Friday reacted to the state party chair’s effort to bar him from running as a Republican over Duncan’s endorsement of Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race, telling CNN he has “no desire to be a part of that party.”

Georgia GOP Chairman Josh McKoon on Friday “sent Duncan an open letter demanding that he ‘cease referring to [himself] as a Republican,’” The Atlantic-Journal Constitution reports.

In the letter, McKoon took a shot at Duncan’s “life otherwise devoid of accomplishment (e.g. dropping out of college, failing as a minor league baseball player, starting a series of sketchy businesses)” and claimed the former lieutenant governor is “prostituting [himself] to CNN as a Trump critic” to support his family.

Speaking about the letter on CNN, Duncan said he “read it first is like a breakup letter — but what they missed was I broke up with them a few years ago when they decided to not be conservative but be crazy.”

Duncan described a “mini-cult” in Georgia that “formed a relationship with Donald Trump's cult in 2020 — and it was a match made in hell.”

"And now all of a sudden you've got this crazy party that is not really a party, it’s just chaos and confusion,” Duncan continued. “And there's nothing that I'm proud about what they're doing. It's not certainly the Republican Party that I grew up in. and I have no desire to be a part of that party.”

Donald Trump's former acting Director of National Intelligence, Ric Grenell, took issue with Friday's bombshell Washington Post report that accused Egypt of trying to funnel $10 million to his 2016 presidential campaign.

According to reporter Carol Leonnig, "A secret investigation pursued CIA intelligence indicating Egypt's president sought to illegally inject $10 million into Trump's cash-starved 2016 campaign. The Justice Department investigators discovered a mysterious $10 million cash withdrawal. But they were blocked from seeking key records to determine if Trump took the money, then the case was shut down."

Washington, D.C. District Court Justice Tanya Chutkan was re-handed Donald Trump's 2020 election fraud case Friday after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on his "presidential immunity" claims.

President Joe Biden worked with international leaders to bring home three Americans and one Green Card holder from Russian prisons, but the move prompted anger and disgust from Donald Trump.
