Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen has long said that he was disproportionately targeted by the Justice Department and the Department of Corrections after it became clear he would no longer cover for his former client.

Former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Geoffrey Berman, has spoken to Congress. He also spoke publicly after he was shoved out of the Justice Department by former Attorney Bill Barr, for refusing to go after allegedly innocent people tied to former President Barack Obama. But another foe of Trump ultimately became Cohen.

WASHINGTON — Senators returned to Washington, D.C. last week from the August Recess and many of the GOP members were enraged over Democrats.

Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) was furious when Raw Story asked him about whether Republicans want Donald Trump to stand next to them during the 2022 campaign season. Immediately he lashed out at President Joe Biden for the speech he made about radical right-wing extremists and domestic terrorism.

Enrique Tarrio, the Proud Boys leader charged with seditious conspiracy for allegedly attempting to obstruct the transfer of presidential power, is attempting to leverage his history of coordination with law enforcement, including a DC Metropolitan police intelligence officer currently under investigation for improper contacts with Tarrio, to undermine the government’s case that he helped organize an attack on the US government.

DC police Lt. Shane Lamond is currently on leave amidst an investigation by the FBI into improper contacts with Tarrio, according to a recent report in the Washington Post.

Perhaps no one is anticipating the trial of the Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, which is scheduled to begin Sept. 27, more than Dakota Adams, his estranged son.

“My opinion on Stewart is that if he ever gets out of prison, he’s going to be a threat to my family,” Adams told Raw Story. “If he gets out, he has a right to unsupervised visitation. I would strap on body armor and follow him around the house with a firearm to ensure that he doesn’t try to kidnap my younger siblings and flee the country.”

Federal investigators are seeking information from Women for America First, which hosted the “Save America Rally,” as part of a wide-ranging probe into fundraising by the Trump campaign after the election, the alternate electors scheme and the Jan. 6 rally headlined by President Trump, which set the stage for the attack on the US Capitol.

Attorney Harmeet Dhillon tweeted on Friday night that Women for America First was among clients that had been “served w/ extremely broad subpoenas, or warrants for phone/device.”

WASHINGTON – As Britain weeps, America mourns. Flags across the nation’s capital – from the White House to the people’s House of Representatives – are now flying at half-staff as they honor the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II.

Even if the idea of a monarch is antithetical to the American spirit, the queen maintained a special place in the hearts of American political leaders from Harry Truman, whom she met in 1951, through President Joe Biden. Her loss is being felt by lawmakers of all stripes.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Senate returned to the Capitol this week from the August Recess, months before the midterm elections but a month after the former president was found to have top secret information he'd taken from the White House at his country club in Florida.

Each party holds its weekly lunches with the caucus just off the floor of the Senate. They voted and then went off in all directions. The Senate Intelligence Committee, however, headed toward the basement where they are able to view top secret information without danger of it being compromised. The sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) is to the left of an elevator and next to a police call box. A map to the right shows where to go in the event of an emergency.

What does an oil rig supervisor earning $963 per day have in common with a diner’s head cook or a dollar store manager? Probably nothing, except this upcoming U.S. Supreme Court case. The justices’ decision could make it almost impossible for workers to get overtime pay from employers who insist the employees are salaried — not hourly workers.

It's one of several could-be landmark cases SCOTUS will hear this fall that could affect ordinary life for Americans.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — MSNBC's Steve Kornacki spoke about a shift he was seeing in the electorate heading into November after the Aug. 23 primary and special elections in New York, when passionately pro-choice Democrat Pat Ryan trounced his opponent. Until very recently, the only real data that could illustrate the impact of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision was a Kansas ballot measure that would amend the state’s constitution to make it easy to ban abortion outright in the state. On August 2, 2022, voters resoundingly rejected this amendment.

Weeks later, data is now starting to roll in showing two major trends for 2022 midterm elections that could prevent Republicans from getting the "red wave" they were banking on.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Senate returned to Washington, D.C., this week after the August Recess and they've got a lot of questions they want answers to about the former president's alleged retention of classified documents, particularly those that could endanger national security.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday night, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) reinforced his concerns about the damage that has been done and ensuring that the military and intelligence community can meet with officials to give details about it. When asked if he wanted to see the documents, Warner said that he was less concerned about seeing them than he was about their impact on national security.

In the final months of his presidency, Donald Trump ordered nuclear energy to be tested on the moon by 2027, as well as the development of nuclear-powered spacecraft that would orbit the Earth, the moon and outer space.

He also ordered the development of micro nuclear reactors small enough that they could fit inside a typical shipping truck that zips cargo along the highway.

You thought overturning Roe caused an uproar? Two upcoming U.S. Supreme Court cases revolve around how elections are won.

One case could eventually turn Alabama from red to purple. The Brennan Center for Justice says the other case, spawned in North Carolina, could destroy democracy — and help put ex-president Donald Trump back in the White House, even if he loses the popular and electoral votes.

Klarman received his J.D. from Stanford and his D. Phil. from Oxford, where he was a Marshall Scholar. He clerked for the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Klarman is a board member of the Take Back The Court Action Foundation advisory board.

Here's his interview with Raw Story:
