Former President Donald Trump has a $170 million bank loan coming due in 2024 from Deutsche Bank for his Washington, D.C. property. But according to the Wall Street Journal, Trump has found a way out. He's selling it to Hilton.

Indiana Sen. Mike Braun, a Republican, was caught in a lie about a campaign accountant he said screwed up his campaign finance filings and disappeared. The Daily Beast said they found the man in minutes.

An Iowa State Trooper's dash camera captured an incident in which he pulled over a motorcyclist, exited his vehicle with his gun drawn as the man's hands were up.

Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder made an outburst in court during the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. It's not something seen frequently, but the Washington Post explained that it isn't the first time this judge has been accused of overstepping his authority in court.

"The 75-year-old judge is running the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, now in its second week, which will determine if the 18-year-old who brought his assault rifle to town in August 2020 is guilty of homicide. Rittenhouse fatally shot two people and badly wounded a third during unrest that followed a police shooting."

A former federal prosecutor complained Wednesday that the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial was a "real problem."

Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder interrupted prosecutors after they questioned Rittenhouse about his silence after his arrest.
