Donald Trump's lawyers' latest filing demanding Florida Judge Aileen Cannon pause his classified documents case based on the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling has legal experts stunned.

The lawyers Friday asked for a "stay of pending resolution" in the federal court case brought by special counsel Jack Smith, who contends Trump violated the Espionage Act by storing classified documents in Mar-a-Lago, his Florida social club.

Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley (R) was caught on a recording pressing drastic changes to divorce laws, according to a new report.

The recording was acquired by Rolling Stone and shared in a new report Friday detailing Hawley's views on no-fault divorce, the law that loosened the standards for dissolving a marriage.

National security expert Marcy Wheeler is probing a report recently released by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) that targets the intelligence officials who discounted the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 election as Russian interference.

While those intelligence officials agreed that the laptop had been tampered with, Jordan feared a "deep state" conspiracy — and dug into every aspect of the officials' identities and responsibilities in contracts with U.S. intelligence agencies.

Donald Trump ally Michael Flynn shot down social media claims he'd been chosen as the former president's vice presidential running mate Wednesday.

The Washington Commander's name change from the Redskins is triggering Republican Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT), who said he would refuse to fund the team until they change the name back, Forbes reported.

Native Americans had protested the Redskin's name for about 50 years, the Washington Post recalled amid the name change. In July 2020, multinational corporations known for sponsoring sporting events joined the demand. At one point, even Nike pulled the Redskins merchandise from its website.

The Missouri attorney general filed a lawsuit Wednesday in an effort to overturn Donald Trump's gag order in the hush money case — and halt September's sentencing.

In the filing, far-right Attorney General Andrew Bailey asked for "modest relief: a stay of New York's gag order and impending sentence against Donald J. Trump during the 2024 Presidential election season so Missourians can participate in the election free from New York's exercise of coercive power limiting the ability of Trump to campaign."

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) continued focus on a letter written four years ago in which members of the intelligence community dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop conspiracy as Russian disinformation is drawing the ire of a former CIA attorney who was there during part of Donald Trump's administration.

Jordan published a report last month from the House Judiciary Committee claiming, "CIA contractors colluded with the Biden campaign to discredit Hunter Biden laptop story."
