Former President Donald Trump's attorneys are trying to stop a gag order in the New York criminal case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

According to ABC News, "With jury selection scheduled to begin in Donald Trump's New York hush money trial in three weeks, the former president's defense lawyers have asked Judge Juan Merchan to deny prosecutors' recent request for a limited gag order, arguing the former president should be permitted to fully respond to attacks by his political opponents."

Insurrection can be a difficult topic to talk about, especially when you're a long-shot Republican presidential candidate on national television. That's particularly true when the host questioning you about it makes a small slip, as Nikki Haley learned during her interview with CNN host Jake Tapper on Monday.

"The explanation is not that they didn't like Donald Trump," Tapper told Haley, "they said that he participated in an erection."

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee's upcoming reelection bid in Georgia is an eventuality that could "add a whole new dimension" to the "weeks of theatrics" in the case, according to former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to all 13 charges in the case, where he has been charged alongside 18 others for attempting to delegitimize the results of the 2020 election. Trump contends the charges are politically motivated.

The Supreme Court's decision to restore former President Donald Trump to the ballot in Colorado and shut down any state decisions on Fourteenth Amendment disqualification was wrong, argued retired federal Judge Michael Luttig on CNN Monday.

Luttig, widely regarded as one of the founding intellectuals behind the modern-day conservative legal movement, has long been one of the strongest proponents of Colorado's decision, which had held that the Fourteenth Amendment's Insurrection Clause bars the former president from the ballot for his incitement of the January 6 attack.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) lashed out at "far left zealots" after he was named in a report about prescription drugs supplied to members of the Trump administration while he served as a White House physician.

"Rolling Stone is nothing but a liberal rag used as a propaganda tool for the far left zealots," Jackson wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "They never get tired of lying! They just published another garbage hit piece directed at the Trump administration and based on 'anonymous' sources. Pathetic!! Stop lying and name your sources! MORONS!!"

Jury duty handed a Politico editor a series of inside scoops Monday when he was sent into the Washington, D.C., courtroom of the federal judge who will be overseeing former President Donald Trump's election interference case — to report for jury duty.

According to writer Patrick Caldwell, Judge Tanya Chutkan described the election interference case for which he was being considered as a juror as "not the other one" — meaning it was a misdemeanor case for a suspected January 6 rioter, and not the one involving Trump.

Despite the fact that he is facing four criminal indictments — one of which involves alleged hush money payments to an adult film star — former President Donald Trump continues to enjoy widespread support among far-right white evangelicals.

Trump has plenty of critics and detractors within Christianity, from Mainline Protestants to Catholics.

Former President Donald Trump has a big problem.

Columnist Heather Digby Parton argued Monday in Salon that he is too wrapped up in trying to please his crowds of hardcore fans to do any outreach to voters who could decide the election.

A New Jersey police chief who was caught on video showing up drunk at a traffic investigation only to be thrown on the hood of a car by one of his own officers has a lengthy history of racial profiling, drunken violence while on duty, and other forms of misconduct, prosecutors say.

An investigation by the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office found numerous allegations against Bradley Beach Police Chief Leonard Guida, including one in which he spat on a man at police headquarters during an argument over politics, the New York Post reported. According to Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago, investigating all the allegations against Guida would be an almost impossible task since there are so many.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has been warned that he could face jail time after hosting a website with allegedly stolen election data from Colorado.

During a Monday interview on Real America's Voice, Lindell reacted to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found states could not remove Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot for insurrection.

Critics of former President Donald Trump were bitterly disappointed when the U.S. Supreme Court announced it would hear Donald Trump's presidential immunity argument — and set hearings for the week of April 22.

Those critics aren't so much angry with the High Court for hearing Trump's arguments but for waiting so long. Special counsel Jack Smith's cases against Trump can’t proceed until the question is resolved, which means the justices have greatly reduced the possibility of a trial starting before the 2024 presidential election.

A sixth-grade girls' basketball team from northern Kentucky was banned from a boys' basketball league after romping through the regular season to reach the championship.

The squad from Next Level Girls Basketball notched a 7-1 record in a city-wide basketball league run by Southwestern Ohio Basketball and was preparing for the championship when league president Tom Sunderman notified the athletic academy that it would be too risky to let them play for the title, reported WVXU-FM.
