New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman taunted former President Donald Trump Friday over the controversial biopic he's taking legal action to kill.

Haberman shared on X Friday an exclusive Variety article revealing Trump sent a cease and desist letter to stop the release and sale of "The Apprentice," a movie about the president's early days.

Conservative Charlie Sykes joined the chorus of voices furious over Donald Trump trying to turn the Russian arrest of a Wall Street Journal reporter into a political issue that he said could actually hurt the situation.

Evan Gershkovich was arrested in Russia in March 2023 on accusations that he was a U.S. spy. On Thursday, Trump claimed he will be released immediately if he is elected in November.

Senate Democrats Friday summoned Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to explain to them how he plans to address reports of a "Stop the Steal' symbol raised outside Justice Samual Alito's family home.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) demanded a meeting with the chief justice to make their case that Alito should be recused from cases involving the 2020 presidential election and the U.S. Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021.

Donald Trump's alleged co-conspirator, Walt Nauta had a hearing on Thursday where he alleged "selective" and "vindictive" prosecution from "Joe Biden's Justice Department."

While Nauta's own lawyer acknowledged that there is no real "selective" and "vindictive" prosecution, the hearing presented the opportunity for more commentary from Judge Aileen Cannon that gives further indications about how the trial may unfold.

A federal judge made the rare decision Friday to speak out against a Supreme Court Justice whose actions outside the nation's highest court he characterized as "improper" and "dumb."

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wants to overrule any ability of federal courts to hear accusations of rigging legislative maps based on race, wrote court watcher Mark Joseph Stern for Slate on Thursday — and in the process, he took aim at the landmark ruling that prohibited segregation in public schools.

This came out of the court's ruling this week in Alexander v. South Carolina NAACP, in which Justice Samuel Alito, currently under fire for a series of scandals about the display of extremist symbols on his property, wrote for the six right-wing justices to greatly restrict the circumstances in which courts can overrule racial gerrymanders.

Republicans are already attempting to block House Democrats from investigating a meeting former President Donald Trump held with oil and gas executives that critics have called an act of "undisguised corruption," a new letter shows.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) was publicly shamed Thursday for holding a hearing on antisemitism on college campuses the same week former President Donald Trump shared messaging said to "echo Nazi Germany."

An Arizona Republican got caught using the artificial intelligence site ChatGPT to craft legislation about the technology used to craft so-called deepfake videos, NBC News reported.
