The father of murdered nursing student Laken Riley says people are politicizing her death to bolster their agendas and inflame people's emotions.

Riley, 22, was bludgeoned to death in February on the University of Georgia’s campus. The suspect who was charged in her killing is José Ibarra, a Venezuelan migrant who was in the country illegally at the time of Riley's death -- a detail conservatives have seized on, saying it represents the failure of President Joe Biden's border policies.

Conservative social media influencer Isabella Maria DeLuca was arrested over the weekend in Irvine, California, for her participation in the Jan. 6 attack on Congress.

The warrant, issued by Judge Robin Meriweather, was issued at the end of February, charging DeLuca with "theft of government property and aiding and abetting theft of government property, entering or remaining in restricted buildings or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly or disruptive conduct in the Capitol Building, and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol Building."

Donald Trump can't find an insurer to cover the bond for his $464 million penalty fraud penalty while he appeals the ruling, and a legal analyst said he's got no one to blame but himself.

The former president's attorneys notified the court Monday that 30 underwriters had turned down his proposal to pledge a combination of cash and real estate as collateral, but most did not have the financial strength to handle a bond of that magnitude, and attorney Renato Mariotti told CNN that Trump had put himself into a precarious position.

Speaking on "Jack," a podcast that focuses on the prosecutions being led by special counsel Jack Smith, former FBI deputy director Andy McCabe and legal analyst Allison Gill explained why the Justice Department isn't indicting Donald Trump's co-conspirators yet for allegedly helping him defraud the United States with his effort to illegally remain in power.

The 2020 election case Trump faces isn't exclusively about him, as several high-ranking officials, activists, legal advisers, and campaign strategists were part of a move to overturn the vote.

In a new book written by retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, he argues that the three justices appointed to the Court by Donald Trump should be concerned about the decline of public trust as a result of the Court's rulings.

In his book "Reading the Constitution: Why I Chose Pragmatism, Not Textualism" that's set to be published this month, Breyer referenced Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett only as "new justices" who have been on the Court for "two or three years," according an excerpt provided by The New York Times.

Cowboys for Trump found Couy Griffin, a convicted Capitol rioter, is calling for Donald Trump to choose him as his vice presidential running mate because he believes it's the only office he can now hold, except the presidency.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case that removed Griffin as Otero County Commissioner in New Mexico because he violated the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause.

Shasta County, California has long been a hotbed for far-right Republican politics -- but it seems that even many voters in this deep-red county are getting fed up with local officials who have been running on denying the results of the 2020 presidential election.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Shasta County voters chose to oust gun store owner Patrick Jones from the local Board of Supervisors after he spearheaded a campaign to remove Dominion Voting Systems machines and relentlessly promoted false claims about Trump's loss in the 2020 race.

Former U.S. Capitol Police officer Sgt. Aquilino Gonell told a court Monday that Donald Trump's comments calling Jan. 6 defendants "hostages" felt "like a dagger."

At a hearing in Washington, D.C., Justice Department prosecutors argued MAGA rioter Michael Mackrell should be sent to prison for 30 months after he "punched, pushed, and tackled several police officers as they were attempting to protect the U.S. Capitol."

"I was told Trump was a billionaire and that's why he should be president," was just one of the scathing responses to a filing from Donald Trump's lawyers revealing that he has been unable to come up with the nearly $500 million needed to appeal his financial fraud settlement.

Early on Monday morning, the former president's attorneys told the court that "posting a full undertaking" of the bond "is a practical impossibility," as Trump races the clock to keep New York Attorney General Letitia James from going after his assets.

"The View" began Monday with a discussion of Donald Trump's speech in Ohio on Saturday in which he celebrated the Jan. 6 rioters with a salute and called them "hostages." It was also the speech in which Trump called migrants "animals."

Both Republicans on the panel were quick to talk about the seriousness of Trump's comments and the fear that they will be overshadowed by the debate over his "bloodbath" comment.

Donald Trump's lawyers notified a New York court that he's not able to find an insurance company willing to underwrite his bond to cover his massive civil fraud judgment, and a Democratic congressman said that opened him up to foreign corruption.

The former president's attorneys said in a court filing Monday that Trump has approached 30 underwriters to back the bond due by the end of this month to pay more than $464 million in penalties and interest, and insurance broker Gary Giuletti signed an affidavit stating that securing a bond for the full amount was "a practical impossibility," reported CNN.
