Republican group nails Sen Josh Hawley using interview where he denounces his own election overthrow

The Department of Justice believes former President Donald Trump may have been up to "something nefarious" by stashing top-secret government documents at his private resort in Florida.

FBI agents searched Mar-A-Lago last week and seized 11 sets of documents the National Archives had been seeking for more than a year, and Washington Post reporter Amber Phillips told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that recent court filings showed investigators were interested in more than simply getting those papers back.

According to The Daily Beast, former Maine Gov. Paul LePage, who is now running to reclaim his old office, made threats of physical violence against a Democratic staffer who was filming him on the campaign trail.

"At a Sunday campaign stop, LePage threatened to 'deck' a Maine Democratic Party staffer who was filming him, according to video obtained exclusively by The Daily Beast," reported Sam Brodey. "As the staffer approached LePage in a small crowd, the 73-year-old Republican reacted with an immediate threat. 'Six feet away, or I’m going to deck you,' said LePage, pointing at the staffer, his other hand clutching a donut from Tim Horton’s. 'If you come into my space, you’re going down.'"

Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos beat back a Trump-backed primary challenger earlier this summer -- but that challenger is refusing to go quietly.

The Wisconsin State Journal reports that MAGA candidate Adam Steen announced a write-in campaign this fall to take down Vos, less than two weeks after he was defeated at the polls.
