One of the major pieces of the ruling by U.S. District Court Judge David Carter highlighted some of the emails in John Eastman's Chapman University account that proved Donald Trump knew that there was nothing fraudulent in the Georgia election.

Trump and his attorneys claimed falsely in court that "Fulton County improperly counted a number of votes including 10,315 deceased people, 2,560 felons, and 2,423 unregistered voters," said the Court documents.

Conservative Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson penned a piece Thursday in which he said he was wrong to think that Republicans weren't really racists when it came right down to it.

He recalled working in the White House when then-Minority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS) endorsed Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC) as a Republican ideal. At the time, working for George W. Bush, Gerson said that he thought statements like that were just blunders that came from ignorance.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was welcomed at a Tennessee GOP Lincoln Day event in Knoxville where she was championed for her belief that the world was going to end.

Far-right Christians believe that if they can usher in the end times that they will bring about The Rapture or the second coming of Jesus Christ, as told in the Bible.

The House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress voted to subpoena Donald Trump in the last public hearing, noting that there were witnesses who declared the Fifth Amendment rights, thus leaving unanswered questions that only Trump could answer.

Politico reported that Trump has hired the law firm that many others facing questions by Congress have also hired. The Dhillon Law Group has been retained by Michael Flynn, Trump ally Sebastian Gorka and Women for America First co-founder Amy Kremer.

Former President Donald Trump must give another deposition under oath due to a lawsuit by investors claiming fraud over videophone pitches.

Bloomberg News reported Thursday that investors are saying they were defrauded by Donald Trump more than a decade ago. The suit comes as a result of Trump marketing a failed venture during the "Celebrity Apprentice" show. Trump was supposed to be forced to testify by Oct. 31, but it was delayed by Hurricane Ian, which didn't hit Trump's country club.

In a discussion about inflation and economic issues, Republican Alyssa Farah Griffin was quick to say that Democrats are the only ones in charge. But the co-hosts of "The View" fired back that the Democrats don't control corporations that are jacking up prices despite record profits.

Speaking to the top issue to Americans on Thursday, Whoopi Goldberg showed the video of Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), who said that corporations are drawing in about 54 percent of additional profit. Because Democrats are in power, Republicans have blamed them, despite inflation being a global issue that all countries are facing in wake of the COVID-19 crisis.

The Justice Department is running out of money thanks to the overabundance of defendants who are being prosecuted for attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6.

According to NBC News, the Justice Department has asked for $34 million in "critically needed" funds to handle the thousands of rioters facing charges, court fees and more. According to those inside the DOJ, the caseload for prosecutors has doubled in the past year due to the arrest of more than 870 accused insurrectionists so far.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake claimed on Tuesday that if Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had not been assassinated by racists he would have been supportive of Donald Trump and the far-right movement.

“I’m a true believer that if MLK, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. were alive today, if JFK were alive today, if our founding fathers were alive today, they would be America First Republicans,” Lake promised. “I really believe that.”

It's mere weeks ahead of the 2022 midterm election and while Donald Trump isn't on the ballot, one Florida state attorney thinks that the Justice Department is holding back on an indictment until after the votes are cast. A few months ago, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memo saying that no politician on a ballot could be indicted ahead of the election without approval by him personally.

Speaking to FloridaPolitics, Dave Aronberg said that he thinks Trump's possession of government documents, refusal to hand them over and the discovery of top-secret, classified and nuclear information sitting around Mar-a-Lago is likely the line that former president crossed.

Former President Donald Trump was forced to appear for a deposition on Wednesday in the case over E. Jean Carroll, who is suing him for defamation after he verbally attacked her over accusations that he raped her in a department store fitting room.

Less than 24 hours before being put under oath, Trump took to his social media account calling her claims "a hoax." Trump biographer Tim O'Brien explained that Trump appearing under oath is "a lawyer's worst nightmare" because he can't stay on message.

U.S. District Court Judge David Carter has agreed John Eastman's emails must be turned over to the House Select Committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on Congress. In his 18-page ruling, the judge indicates that former President Donald Trump signed legal documents about election fraud despite knowing the information was false.

Some of Eastman's emails were revealed after he used his university server as his main point of communication. The judge decided that the "crime-fraud exception" meant that there was either crime or fraud present which meant that the attorney-client privilege could be dismissed.

The New Yorker's Jane Mayer revealed that there is a conservative braving a legal battle against right-wing groups who are challenging election law. The publication described the case as "momentous."

Judge Michael Luttig, who previously testified to the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, joined a case being heard at the Supreme Court in December.

Former President Donald Trump has a long history of making antisemitic statements, which has continued this week as he attacked Jews for not supporting him enough.

“No President has done more for Israel than I have,” Trump said on his social media site. He complained it was surprising that "our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S."
