During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Gaetz tried to take on Lev Parnas, a former associate of Rudy Giuliani, about crimes that required him to spend four months in prison.

A decade-old clip of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) praising Barack Obama has been making the rounds on social media as the conservative firebrand seeks a third term in office in a new congressional district.

The Colorado Republican first attracted national notice as the owner of the gun-themed Shooters Grill in her hometown of Rifle, and she appeared on CNN in July 2014 in a remote interview with former anchor Brooke Baldwin, who asked if a sign hanging in the eatery — "proudly clinging to my guns and Bible" — was in response to an infamous remark Obama made about rural Americans, reported Newsweek.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) successfully blocked a subpoena of Jared Kushner's business records at a hearing on "influence peddling."

After Democrats on Wednesday called on Kushner to be subpoenaed over questions about a financial deal he made with Saudi Arabia, Jordan took on the task of defending former President Donald Trump's son-in-law.

Michael Cohen, the lead prosecution witness in Donald Trump's upcoming criminal hush money trial, was publicly chastised Wednesday over accusations of perjury in a motion that could prove "pure gold" for the former president's legal team, according to a new analysis of recent court filings.

New York federal Judge Jesse Furman Wednesday denied Cohen's request for an early end to his "supervised release" following his prison term on tax evasion charges, and cited his recent testimony in Trump's civil fraud trial to explain why.

Former President Donald Trump doesn't deserve any devil's advocate interpretation of his comments that America would see a "bloodbath" if he loses the election, conservative former Naval War College professor Tom Nichols told CNN Wednesday.

Faced with backlash for the comments he made at a rally last weekend, Trump has tried to backpedal and claim he meant it metaphorically — not that he was threatening another insurrection or violent political unrest if he loses.

Donald Trump is trying to put on hold several January 6 lawsuits against him until his pending criminal trial is concluded, CNN reported Wednesday.

At least five suits have been filed against the former president by complainants including members of Congress who were attacked and police officers who were working at the Capitol on the day.

Fox News cut away from its coverage of a House hearing Wednesday as soon as one of the witnesses testified that Russia was behind allegations against President Joe Biden.

While the hearing was on impeachment, a much-talked-about topic at Fox News, the network did not spend much time covering it after Lev Parnas, a former associate of Rudy Giuliani and a witness called by the Democrats, began speaking.

The Atlantic's John Hendrickson recently traveled to a Trump rally to see how his supporters felt about him mocking people with disabilities, such as when he mimicked President Joe Biden's stutter or when he did an impression of reporter Serge Kovaleski, who suffers from a congenital joint condition.

Many supporters told Hendrickson they weren't fond of Trump mocking people with disabilities, but they came up with all kinds of ways to rationalize his behavior.

Judge Aileen Cannon was widely criticized this week after issuing a request that lawyers draw up jury instructions that suggests she's considering letting Donald Trump defend himself in the Florida trial with his claim that he can declare classified documents his personal property.

And a report Wednesday suggests she might have gotten the idea directly from Trump's lawyers.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has undergone a remarkable physical transformation as her political goals have shifted — and her recent out-of-state trip to "fix" her smile has completed her "MAGA makeover," according to a New York Times report.

The Republican congresswoman-turned-governor appears to have her eye set on becoming Donald Trump's running mate, and photos of Noem going back to her early days in politics compared to now show she has been trying to catch the former president's eye as he seeks a replacement for the staid Mike Pence, reported the Times Wednesday.

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday attacked a retired four-star general with a decorated career in the American military.

In a post on his Truth Social page, Trump lashed out at Ret. Gen. Mark Milley, who served as Trump's own chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during his presidency.
