Former federal and state prosecutor Glenn Kirschner said Thursday he believes the challenge to Fani Willis' prosecution of former President Donald Trump could very well fail after the Fulton County District Attorney filed a motion to dismiss.

Kirschner argued on his "Justice Matters" YouTube channel that a motion demanding Willis be removed from the Georgia election racketeering case is "not supported by the actual evidence they provided."

Former President Donald Trump returned to Capitol Hill to speak with Republican lawmakers for the first time since the Jan. 6 attacks three years ago — and Democratic lawmakers are enraged at the disrespect, according to Axios.

"Trump huddled with House Republicans on Thursday morning at the Capitol Hill Club, just blocks away from the Capitol," reported Andrew Solender and Stephen Neukam. "In wide-ranging remarks, Trump praised his loyalists and slammed Republican detractors, especially those who voted to impeach him over Jan. 6. The former president is set to meet with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill later on Thursday."

A member of the Wall Street Journal's editorial board this week declared former President Donald Trump to be the victim of a "legal jihad" -- and was promptly shredded Thursday by a New York Magazine writer who says one simple point disproves the conservative newspaper's thesis.

"Trump is a huge crook," writes commentator Jonathan Chait.

The conservative Washington Examiner newspaper this week lambasted Republican House members for failing to fully implement former President Donald Trump's demands. Namely, an editorial published by the website complains that Republicans have failed to impeach President Joe Biden.

“Nearly a year and a half after initial investigations began, the effort to impeach Biden appears to be fizzling out," the report explains.

The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday to maintain the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the abortion drug Mifepristone and the co-hosts of "The View" were shocked to hear that it was a unanimous decision.

All justices agreed that the doctors complaining about the drug didn't have standing to bring the case because they didn't use the drug in their practices and were instead only basing the case on their own personal objections.

Former President Donald Trump was on Capitol Hill Thursday to speak to Republican Party lawmakers, and he is still talking about pop star Taylor Swift.

A news report earlier this week revealed Trump's shock that Swift was not a fan of his, a long-held opinion of hers that surfaced during the 2020 election cycle. According to a new book by Variety editor Ramin Setoodeh, Trump couldn't understand why a "country" star wouldn't support him. Swift evolved from country music to pop with her album in 2014, a New York Times report explained.

Legal analysts were quick to lambast the anti-abortion doctors and organizations who filed a lawsuit to overturn the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of the abortion drug Mifepristone, which lost at the Supreme Court on Thursday.

The Court found that the group didn't have standing in the case, as they themselves never used the drug, which was a key point that the FDA argued in the case. It enabled the judges to agree unanimously in favor of the FDA, despite several judges being personally against abortion.

Former President Donald Trump Thursday called the most populous metropolis of a key swing state hosting the Republican National Convention next month a "horrible city," according to a new report.

Trump insulted Milwaukee to House and Senate Republicans who gathered for a policy discussion on Capitol Hill Thursday, the first of such meetings since January, 2021, Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman reports.

Republicans began their first meeting with former President Donald Trump since he ordered Capitol rioters to “fight like hell” on Jan. 6, 2021, by serenading him in celebration of his birthday, according to multiple reports.

The House and Senate Republicans who gathered for a policy meeting with Trump, the presumptive presidential nominee convicted of felony crimes, sang "Happy Birthday" and gave him a baseball bat and ball as a present, according to Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman and CNN's Manu Raju.

In a unanimous decision released Thursday, the Supreme Court held that a group challenging the Food and Drug Administration's release of the abortion drug mifepristone did not have standing to sue.

“Under Article III of the Constitution, a plaintiff’s desire to make a drug less available for others does not establish standing to sue," Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote. "Nor do the plaintiffs’ other standing theories suffice."

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) faced comparisons to "the village idiot" Wednesday when he sang the praises of former President Donald Trump's oldest son, dubbed in a new profile as "a kingmaker."

"Don is one of the best people I’ve met in politics," Vance wrote on X, sharing an Axios profile in which he is quoted. "He genuinely believes in America First and works his a-- off to make it a reality."
