Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis faces a "difficult question" after three charges she levied against former President Donald Trump were dropped, a conservative attorney argued Wednesday.

Judge Scott McAfee dropped a total of six charges in the election interference case, including three accusing Trump of soliciting Georgia's former House Speaker David Ralston and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to tip the 2020 presidential election in his favor.

House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-LA) grip on the gavel appears to be slipping with each passing day amid unrelenting retirement and resignation announcements by members of his caucus. And a new analysis shows just how fragile his majority has become.

The Washington Post published an infographic showing that the 2023-2024 House Republican majority is the smallest of the 21st century. As of March 12, there were just six more Republicans than Democrats in the House of Representatives. And after March 22, when Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) will officially leave the House, the GOP's advantage will dwindle to five.

Conservative pundit Piers Morgan was silenced on his own television show Wednesday when broadcaster Mehdi Hasan delivered a brutal rundown of his reasons why former President Donald Trump should not be reelected as president.

"He's a racist by any definition of the term," Hasan told Morgan. "You said you were going to give me some facts about Trump? Let me give you some actual facts."

If GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump defeats incumbent President Joe Biden in the 2024 election, his return to the White House could bring about a dramatic change in U.S. foreign policy.

Biden, an aggressive supporter of military aid to Ukraine during its conflict with Russia, has been a vehement critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump, in contrast, speaks fondly of Putin.

In December, Donald Trump gave an emphatic endorsement to health insurance lobbyist Addison McDowell in the race for a North Carolina congressional seat. McDowell was running against former Republican Rep. Mark Walker who was trying to win back his old seat.

Three months later, the former president has hired Walker himself.

Maverick American director Oliver Stone told AFP that the legal proceedings against Donald Trump are "all political" and that the ex-president was a victim of "lawfare" -- when prosecutions are used to silence political figures.

"Almost 100 indictments against the guy... it's ridiculous," said Stone.

Special counsel Jack Smith might be avoiding calls to demand the removal of Judge Aileen Cannon from Donald Trump's classified documents case because it would kill any chance he has of getting a trial before the election, an expert said.

While Smith has not indicated that he wants to ask for Cannon's removal, experts have urged him to — particularly after former Mar-a-Lago worker Brian Butler, who is a potential star witness in the case, publicly described how he unwittingly helped co-defendant Walt Nauta move boxes of classified documents onto Trump's private plane in June 2022.

Attorneys for Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll have agreed to a short delay of deadlines in a defamation case against the former president.

The request for delay comes days after U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan approved a $92 million bond that will allow Trump to request a new trial after a jury found him liable for defaming Carroll by denying her rape claims.

Don Lemon's career as a news show host on Twitter has ended before it even began.

Just two months after Lemon signed a deal to produce exclusive content for the platform, X CEO Elon Musk abruptly canceled the deal after Lemon conducted an interview with him that he apparently did not enjoy.

A man who marched at the notorious 2017 "Unite the Right" Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia got elected last year as a councilor in the city of Enid, Oklahoma, and NBC News reports that it has driven a deep rift within the community.

According to NBC News, Enid City Councilor Judd Blevins' ties to white nationalists were exposed by two local residents in early 2023, shortly before voters went to the polls.

House Speaker Mike Johnson told Sen. Katie Britt not to worry about State of the Union rebuttal "horror stories" before she gave her own speech — that many have said was the worst yet.

Britt (R-AL) shared this factoid Tuesday with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on his podcast "The Verdict," where the pair of Republican senators unpacked the backlash from the "creepy" and "breathlessly weird" rebuttal.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) accused Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) of trying to "rig" elections by leaving Congress months earlier than he had planned.

In a live "special announcement" on Wednesday, Boebert explained why she would not be running in the special election to temporarily fill Buck's seat after he declared yesterday that his previously announced retirement would start this month.
