Tuesday evening a judge released her opinion that former President Donald Trump did not enjoy executive privilege as the former president of the United States. Trump's lawyers are quick to appeal in a case that is expected to go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Former FBI Agent and Yale University professor Asha Rangappa explained to CNN that it isn't likely that Trump will be successful because it would "have really bad implications for the presidency."

Testifying in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial on Wednesday, Jacob Marshall addressed social media postings that he'd written saying that Gaige Grosskreutz wished that he had killed Rittenhouse, Law&Crime captured.

Grosskreutz, who isn't on trial, was shot and wounded by Rittenhouse. Afterward, Marshall wrote: "I just talked to Gaige Grosskreutz. His only regret was not killing the kid and hesitating to pull the gun before emptying the entire mag into him."

It's been just a few days since Florida Surgeon General was attacked by former colleagues at UCLA for inflating his resume and lying about his work during the COVID-19 crisis in Los Angeles hospitals.

The Florida Ledger reported Wednesday that Dr. Joseph Ladapo's medical license was approved in just two days, a process that normally takes 2-6 months, the board's website says. The fact was also confirmed by medical and legal professionals who know the process. The report also noted that all of the members of the 15 person Board of Medicine were approved by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL). The governor has been criticized for more than a year for his handling of the pandemic, concealing data about how many people in the state got the virus or died from it and other concerns.

The Justice Department recommended that Jacob Chansley, the so-called QAnon Shaman, be sentenced to four years behind bars, according to new court documents filed late Tuesday night.

CNN.com reported Wednesday that it is the longest incarceration prosecutors have asked for thus far among the Jan. 6 defendants. Chansley was among the most recognizable of the insurrectionists, making it through the halls of Congress and into the Senate chamber where he was photographed in the gallery and behind the dais.

President Donald Trump has waged a war against Republicans that have opposed him, voted for impeachment, support any major Democratic bills and that approved of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Right under Trump's nose, however, the Republican Party election committees are funding those same Republicans.

The Daily Beast revealed campaign finance records that show that "63 of the 139 House Republicans who objected to the election results have given more than $650,000 to GOP counterparts who certified Trump's defeat." The report even shows that Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for the Jan. 6 insurrection got more than $100,000 from the GOP committees.

Former U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance on Tuesday discussed the decision by the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6 to issue an additional ten subpoenas, including aides who were closest to former President Donald Trump throughout the day.

Speaking on an MSNBC panel of experts, Vance warned that Kayleigh McEnany is so young that her decision about whether to cooperate or not will determine her future in politics.

Former President Donald Trump is furious over the recent announcement that the House Select Committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol would be subpoenaing ten additional close allies to his administration.

The new subpoenas include the White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and his top aide Stephen Miller, but it also includes Trump's aide who managed the Oval Office and his personal assistant.

Darrell Meekcom, 55, has been diagnosed with multiple system atrophy (MSA), a terminal disease that has no cure. So, like many in his position, he started creating a bucket list and checking things off.

The Guardian reported that his list included the desire to moon a traffic camera. He called it a "good laugh" when speaking to his local newspaper. About 20 minutes after the drive-by mooning, six officers were at Meekcom's door, flattening him to the ground as he screamed that he was dying and it was his bucket list item. The officers didn't care.

Conservative strategist Ana Navarro joined former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh on CNN to discuss Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and his latest campaign to convince men they're a victim and he is their savior.

In an Axios interview Sunday, Hawley announced his new campaign for masculinity, in which he intends to tell men that the courage and independence of women is destroying their lives. Hawley also blames video games in part for the downfall of manliness, mocking gamers by citing the early 1980s game Donkey Kong.

Washington Post reporter Phil Bump calculated just how many people will ultimately go to prison as a result of former President Donald Trump's inability to accept his election loss in 2020.

In the analysis, Bump cited the majority of the "650 people federally charged in the riot [who] were not part of far-right groups or premeditated conspiracies to attack the Capitol." About 573 of those weren't associated with the extremist groups.

Starbucks employees are inches from forming a union to advocate for safer working conditions, better wages and benefits. The movement might be leading CEO Howard Schultz to desperation.

In a video address, Schultz compared Starbucks to Holocaust prisoners in his effort to stop the unionization. He described the experiences of prisoners in rail cars headed to their torture and death in Nazi concentration camps, Vice News reported.

The defense lawyer of an Capitol riot suspect is trying a unique argument to get his client out of the so-called "patriot wing" of the Washington, D.C. jail.

Scott MacFarlane, the reporter that has been following the Jan. 6 cases for NBC News, cited documents where a defense lawyer put his request in writing that insinuated his client was guilty.
