Conservative Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) went off on Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) Wednesday evening as the House was voting whether to condemn Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) for his assassination cartoon. What Boebert ranted about on the floor is yet another conspiracy theory making its way through the GOP.

"My colleague and three-month presidential candidate from California, who is on the Intelligence Committee, slept with Fang Fang, a Chinese spy," Boebert said on the House floor. "Let me say that again. A member of Congress who receives classified briefings was sleeping with the enemy."

A supporter of President Donald Trump has been arrested after making threats against Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D).

According to the Hartford Courant, Jonathan D. Wright was arrested Monday after being charged with a count of second-degree threatening. The threat came from a tweet that Wright posted last month.

Jonathan Karl's new book Betrayal seems to indicate that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was losing control of his own Republican caucus ahead of Jan. 6.

In a section about Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), Karl described McConnell with "unusual anger in his voice," during a New Year's Even conference call with the GOP caucus. It was about Hawley's decision to announce that he would oppose the certification of the 2020 election.

The desperation by President Donald Trump to change the 2020 election results took a dramatic turn once Donald Trump Jr. got Lin Wood involved, Jonathan Karl's new book Betrayal explained.

While Wood never served on the official Trump legal team, he had certainly filed several cases to help Trump's efforts. It was Trump Jr. who invited Wood to the Republican Party rally in Atlanta where Wood urged Trump supporters to boycott the election.

Chris Christie intentionally probed President Donald Trump in debate prep because he knew that then-Vice President Joe Biden would likely do the same, according to a new book.

In one instance, described in Jonathan Karl's new book Betrayal, Trump was so triggered that he refused to even discuss how to respond. At issue was how his children were profiting despite working as public servants.

The new book "Betrayal" by ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl revealed that on many occasions Trump would lie about what others said or did just to manufacture the outcome he desired.

In one case, Trump lied that Vice President Mike Pence had been visiting with COVID-19 patients, urging reporters not to shake his hand.

The State Bar of California is being asked to investigate John Eastman, who penned the so-called "coup memo" arguing that Vice President Mike Pence had the power to overturn the 2020 election.

According to a release, the States United Democracy Center submitted a supplemental letter to a previous complaint citing the op-ed from Pence's chief counsel that was never published. The first complaint was sent six weeks ago.

The Bulwark did a review of Rep. Adam Schiff's (D-CA) new book Midnight in Washington, in which the House Judiciary Chairman cites "chapter and verse of the nefarious behavior, taking the reader through one sketchy episode after another" in Donald Trump's campaign and White House.

The review of the book calls it a "gripping inside story" behind the Russia investigation and the first impeachment involving Trump's extortion of the Ukraine president for a political favor.

ABC News Reporter Jonathan Karl's new book Betrayal outlines the shocking degree to which the American government came to an outright crisis.

Speaking to the Washington Post about the book Tuesday, reporter Karen Tumulty cited excerpts from his book noting how close Donald Trump came to overthrow the 2020 election.

It was just last month that Capitol attacker Danny "DJ" Rodriguez was declaring himself "so stupid" after he was arrested for Tasing D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Mike Fanone until he lost consciousness.

"I'm not smart," he said to the FBI. "I'm so stupid. I'm an as*hole. I'm a piece of sh*t."

A group of conservative county commissioners in Fulton County, Pennsylvania voted to declare an LGBTQ meeting "hate speech," but the effort backfired, wrote Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Will Bunch.

But one of the problems in Fulton County is the same with many other places in rural America: access to the internet. So, Bunch explained that the Fulton County Library "in the county seat of McConnellsburg, is a kind of a metaphorical turnpike to a wider world, offering computer terminals for locals lacking internet access and meeting rooms for an array of community groups, while trying to acquire the latest books on its shoestring budget."

While speaking to the Washington Post about his new book "Betrayal," ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl revealed that one of the offices most ransacked in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 tells a lot about the aims of the attackers.

While it's clear that many of President Donald Trump's supporters were caught up in the moment, it was also clear that a subset of those had very specific goals to accomplish on Jan. 6.

Jonathan Karl's new book "Betrayal "recalls a debate prep session in which Rudy Giuliani was described as outright "manic."

In the book by Carol Leonnig and Phil Rucker, "I Alone Can Fix It," it was revealed that Kellyanne Conway and Chris Christie desperately tried to lock Giuliani out of the practice debates.
