U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) repeatedly demanded House Oversight Committee Chairman Jim Comer hold a vote to impeach President Joe Biden, as he declared Wednesday's impeachment investigation "fake," while saying on-camera Republicans are "lying to their base."

Expert rips Cannon's 'mind-boggling' rulings: 'If it were law school she'd be failing'

Judge Aileen Cannon has drawn widespread criticism for her handling of Donald Trump's classified documents case, and one legal expert said she's failing basic questions of law.

The U.S. District Court judge ordered Trump's attorneys and special counsel Jack Smith's team to submit proposed jury instructions that "engage" in two scenarios, each of which misstates the law and facts of the case, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and a former prosecutor who appeared on "Morning Joe" castigated Cannon's oversight of the criminal matter.

Legal expert points out 'most troubling' part of Judge Cannon's latest Trump decision

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's documents case recently issued an order that isn't sitting right for some professional legal experts.

Raw Story recently reported that Judge Aileen Cannon said she will hear former President Trump's argument that he was entitled to keep any presidential documents he wanted, sending what some experts called an ominous signal in the former president's case.
