Rudy Giuliani

According to a report from the Daily Beast, Donald Trump's legal team has been trashing one of his new attorneys who has taken the lead in some of his more high-profile legal problems with a flood of text messages questioning her competency.

The Beast's Jose Pagliery and Asawin Suebsaeng are reporting that the work being done by New York attorney Alina Habba is being questioned by her Trump colleagues who are expressing concern she is doing more damage than good.

According to Rudy Giuliani, former President Donald Trump was threatening to blow up Russia one-and-a-half years ago.

In a discussion with Newsmax, where Giuliani hasn't been banned from appearing, the former New York City mayor falsely claimed that the United States was "energy independent" and that the U.S. didn't need oil or gas from Russia. The lowest point in 2020 when the U.S. was importing the least amount of Russian oil, there was still 10,850 barrels being brought in by Russia. That was in May 2020, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas made stunning accusations on Twitter on Saturday about efforts to create kompromat on Joe Biden's son Hunter.

On Saturday, independent journalist Scott Stedman wrote, "I'll explore this more fully eventually but I think the balance of evidence points to the notion that Hunter Biden's job on the Burisma board was a setup."

At least one White House aide secretly produced a report that blamed Donald Trump's election loss on Dominion Voting Systems.

The report, which alleged foreign entities secretly manipulated votes, was initially prepared so it could be sent to legislatures in states where Trump was trying to overturn his loss, and it was amplified in early December 2020 by the conservative Gateway Pundit blog -- but originated in the White House, reported The Guardian.

On Tuesday, CBS News' Scott MacFarlane reported that former Trump adviser Steve Bannon put forward a new court filing in his criminal case, complaining that the Justice Department has shown "unparalleled arrogance" and that the prosecutors "are in a deep hole."

Bannon's outrage stems from the Justice Department's gathering of phone and email records from Robert Costello, an attorney for Bannon who also represented Rudy Giuliani. This, Bannon argues, is a violation of attorney-client privilege. Prosecutors, however, say that because Costello represented Bannon during his refusal to cooperate with the House January 6 Committee — and Bannon alleges he refused on advice of counsel — he is a witness to Bannon's criminal conduct and privilege does not apply.

The New York Times reported Monday that court filings accused a Russian businessman trying to create a cannabis empire of making $1 million in illegal campaign donations to federal and state candidates.

Andrey Muraviev was part of an effort just three months before the 2018 midterm elections where he would give donations in the name of another person.

Fox host Rachel Campos-Duffy was called out Sunday after she claimed that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky likely wishes that former President Donald Trump was in charge.

Trump, who dodged the Vietnam draft claiming "bone spurs," withheld aid from Ukraine in 2019, telling Zelensky he would send the weapons package passed by Congress only if he did a "favor."

According to a report from Mother Jones, one of the top advocates for a "limited" no-fly zone over Ukraine as Russia continues its unprovoked invasion of the country had a hand in the denial of military aid to Ukraine that eventually led to Donald Trump's first impeachment.

The report notes that former NATO ambassador Kurt Volker has become a passionate advocate for the defensive maneuver that some believe could instead expand the war.

Republicans moved swiftly to denounce Rep. Madison Cawthorn's slur against Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy -- who he called a "thug" -- but he's not all that far outside the GOP mainstream.

The North Carolina Republican drew widespread condemnation for comments made last week at a town hall that were reported Thursday, with GOP lawmakers including Liz Cheney, Joni Ernst and Lindsey Graham speaking out against Cawthorn, but The Bulwark columnist Charlie Sykes called out their hypocrisy.

With the Department of Justice under Attorney General Merrick Garland being accused of dragging its feet investigating Donald Trump's part in the January 6 insurrection, a growing number of legal experts outside the department are saying they see plenty of evidence that should lead to criminal charges and are urging the DOJ to speed things up.

According to a report from the Guardian's Peter Stone, a bombshell filing on March 2 by the House panel investigating the Capitol riot made a strong case that implicated the former president in a “criminal conspiracy,” which has legal experts advocating for charges to be filed and even for a "strike force" of investigators to be convened.

Right-wing attorney John Eastman appears to be aware his scheme to pressure Mike Pence to overturn Donald Trump's election loss was unlawful.

Email exchanges released last week by the House select committee show that Eastman was aware that interrupting the congressional certification of Joe Biden's election win, so that Trump's attorneys could argue the Electoral Count Act was not followed to the letter of the law, was, in fact, unlawful but pressed forward with the scheme, reported The Guardian.

Ukraine is being forced to dig mass graves after the brutality they're facing from Russia. Wednesday, a children's hospital and maternity center was bombed. Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed it was a "military target."

Meanwhile, back in the United States, Republicans are clamoring to figure out how to blame everything on Joe Biden while justifying their cornucopia of positions. It only adds to the timeline of anti-Ukraine actions the GOP made over the past several years that they've turned to support Putin.
