Aimee Harris, the woman who stole Ashley Biden's diary from her time in recovery, must go to prison, the federal prosecutors said in a supplement to a sentencing document filed this week, Law&Crime posted on Thursday.

Harris pleaded guilty to stealing the diary and sold it to the far-right group Project Veritas, which has since closed its operations. The government was only seeking home confinement at first, but now things have changed.

A top contributor with Forbes Thursday warned potential Trump Media investors not to trust the company's eponymous owner with their cash in a thorough breakdown of the multiple financial risks they'd be taking.

'"There is no support, fundamental or technical, for the stock price," John S. Tobey warned. "There are no business benefits to bolster Trump Media's sales, earnings, and growth outlook."

On Thursday, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed Donald Trump's claim that the Presidential Records Act protects him from prosecution for taking government documents when he left office in 2021.

The move came after special counsel Jack Smith submitted an emphatic response telling Cannon that her proposed jury instructions — that would direct jurors to consider that classified documents in the case could be considered personal property of Trump under the PRA — were unacceptable.

Lawmakers who served on the House Select Committee that investigated the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 attack are taking steps to prepare for Donald Trump to deploy the government to go after them if he's elected in November.

"In 2016, I declared: I am your voice. Today, I add: I am your warrior. I am your justice," Trump promised in March. "And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution."

No Labels has dropped plans to pursue a 2024 presidential ticket citing, according to a New York Times report, a critical problem: No candidate.

Leader Nancy Jacobson told the Times Thursday the centrist group was unable to woo a candidate despite raising $60 million last year to run a bipartisan ticket.

New York Attorney General Letitia James submitted a filing on Thursday asking for proof that the company covering Donald Trump's $175 million bond in his fraud case is actually "financially sound."

James told the New York City civil court — where Trump was found liable for damages upwards of $464 million — that she had serious concerns about Knight Speciality Insurance Company's agreement with the former president.

Donald Trump attempted to dismiss his case in Fulton County, Georgia, on First Amendment grounds — but Judge Scott McAfee on Thursday denied the motion.

In a 14-page ruling, McAfee explained that the First Amendment is not the get-out-of-jail-free card that Trump seems to think it is.

Judge Aileen Cannon, an appointee of Donald Trump's who faces accusations of bias, has allowed the submission of a new brief trashing the former president's challenge to special counsel Jack Smith's appointment, court records and reports show.

Law&Crime revealed Thursday that the Florida federal court judge overseeing Trump's classified documents case allowed experts to submit a motion that "positively pummeled the ex-president."

Former President Donald Trump's loud support for Jan. 6 rioters represents a dark attempt to "convince followers to risk their own skins in the future" on the former president's behalf, a new opinion piece posits. It then asks the question: why do they let him?

Salon columnist Amanda Marcotte noted Thursday that while Trump floats promises of pardons, he does not offer material support to the more than 1,300 people who have been charged with crimes related to the U.S. Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021.

Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani is warning there might be more classified documents in Donald Trump's possession — and another FBI raid might be on the horizon, Newsweek reported.

Among the revelations in the stolen document case is that Mar-a-Lago employee Brian Butler, in an interview with CNN, said he helped Trump aide Walt Nauta deliver boxes of the documents to a plane "in June 2022 — the same day that Trump and his attorney were meeting with the Justice Department at Mar-a-Lago about the classified documents."
