Reacting to a federal judge's ruling that sets the stage for Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS to be tossed for blatant “self-dealing,” the legal experts of MS NOW were quick to point out that lawyers representing the president, including acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, now face their own legal peril.

In the order, Florida federal Judge Kathleen M. Williams referred the lawyers who brought Trump’s case against the IRS to the Florida bar for potential disciplinary proceedings, noting she was also forwarding her ruling to the New York bar which has an open investigation into Blanche.

A pair of President Donald Trump's appointees raised eyebrows by floating conspiracy theories about the Watergate scandal that ended Richard Nixon's presidency.

Pardon attorney Ed Martin marked the 54th anniversary of the June 17, 1972, Watergate break-in that set in motion the chain of events that led up to Nixon's resignation two years later by blaming the scandal on U.S. intelligence and Washington Post reporters Robert Woodward and Carl Bernstein.

The Justice Department's No. 3 official briefly admitted on X that the agency was moving to revive a controversial fund to compensate Jan. 6 defendants — then deleted the post on Wednesday.

Associate Attorney General Stanley E. Woodward, Jr. responded to a post from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) with a terse three-word reply — "We're on it." — before quietly scrubbing it. Politico's Josh Gerstein flagged the deletion.

Lindsey Halligan, the controversial Trump appointee whose 2025 appointment as U.S. Attorney in Virginia was ruled unlawful by a court, attended an exclusive "MAGA elite" Independence Day party at Washington D.C.'s Executive Branch club on July 4.

There, she claimed President Donald Trump plans to appoint her as the "number three" at the Department of Justice, or DOJ, according to The Daily Mail.

Lindsey Halligan, who left the Justice Department in January after a court ruled that her appointment as U.S. Attorney in Virginia was unlawful, attended an exclusive “MAGA elite” party on Saturday, July 4, during which she was overheard dropping a “bombshell” claim that raised major questions as to the future of the DOJ, the Daily Mail reported.

Held at the Executive Branch, a private club in Washington, D.C., the Independence Day celebration saw a number of high-ranking Trump administration officials attend the star-studded event, which included performances from rapper 50 Cent. Among them was Halligan, the controversial Trump appointee who critics say was chosen for her willingness to bring criminal charges against the president’s perceived enemies.

The Justice Department is refusing to formally swear that President Donald Trump's $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund is dead, and one legal analyst said Monday that refusal may have been a telling reveal.

Writing for MS NOW, legal analyst Lisa Rubin examined the DOJ's response to U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, who gave the administration a choice: file sworn declarations from the officials who created the fund stating it would never exist, or the case would proceed.

A federal judge waylaid Donald Trump's legal team Friday by reopening his $10 billion IRS lawsuit, declaring she wants to investigate "grievous allegations" that the deal to settle it was "premised on deception," The New York Times reported.

In what the Times called a "striking turnabout," U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams revived the case just days after she had closed it. The Obama appointee said she wants to scrutinize the circumstances surrounding Trump's effort to settle the suit in a way that benefited him, his family, and his political allies — including the controversial $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund" that critics have blasted as a slush fund.
