A federal court has confirmed a $5 million arbitration judgment against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.

In a 12-page order released on Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge John Tunheim upheld a ruling that found Lindell must pay $5 million to cybersecurity expert Robert Zeidman, who responded to a contest to prove the pillow executive had not obtained evidence from the 2020 election.

Texas Right to Life, the largest anti-abortion organization in the Lone Star State, is launching a protest against the University of Houston for hosting what it claims is a demon-themed statue.

As the Houston Chronicle reports, the group's ire was sparked by the campus hosting a sculpture by Pakistani-American visual artist Shahzia Sikander that depicts "a powerful woman donning two thick braids" that resemble what the artist describes as "golden ram horns" or "a crown of female potency."

Lev Parnas, who worked with Rudy Giuliani to build a Joe Biden conspiracy theory, claimed that the FBI knew in 2019 that their key informant was a liar.

Taking to social media on Monday night, Parnas responded to former New York Assistant Attorney General Tristan Snell, who called for an investigation into the communications top Republicans had with former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who is now accused of lying about a Biden bribery scheme.

When speaking before the Judiciary Committee investigating President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, former United States Attorney Scott W. Brady promised he'd fact-checked the claims of the GOP's star witness — a man arrested last week and accused of lying to the FBI.

Tuesday's Politico Playbook claimed that the allegations by FBI informant Alexander Smirnov were never confirmed — but, as national security expert Marcy Wheeler pointed out, Brady said the opposite under oath.

Judge Arthur Engoron's $355 million judgment against Donald Trump came at a time when the former President's imprint was already vastly diminished in the state of New York, and it could be the final nail in his coffin in the state, according to Slate columnist Ben Kesslen.

Paying off the judgment will likely require Trump to sell some assets, which could include his trademark property and longtime New York City residence, Trump Tower.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) declared the House Republicans' impeachment probe into President Joe Biden to be all but finished on Wednesday after hearing closed-door testimony from James Biden, the brother of President Joe Biden.

As reported by Max Cohen of Punchbowl News, James Biden flatly denied that his brother had any knowledge of, or involvement in, any of his overseas business dealings, which have drawn scrutiny from congressional Republicans.

Conservative Political Action Conference chairman Matt Schlapp said that MSNBC and other left-leaning media outlets would no longer be credentialed for his events.

As CPAC was set to kick off on Wednesday, Schlapp argued that the event would not allow coverage from journalists who were "100% anti-Trump."

Former President Donald Trump’s attorney Wednesday demanded the chance to propose a “counter-judgment” in his client’s $355 million civil fraud trial, court records show.

Clifford Robert filed a letter in the New York City civil court addressed to Justice Arthur Engoron complaining of the landmark ruling that also banned Trump from doing business in the state for three years.

Failed Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has been trying to downplay her past false claims about her 2022 election loss to Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs — but it seems she still can't help slipping back into rants about stolen elections.

The "Kari Lake Warroom" Twitter account this week highlighted a Newsmax interview that Lake gave with former Trump administration official Sebastian Gorka in which she once again banged the drum about elections being "stolen" from conservatives.

The Republicans' star witness in the probe of a Ukrainian bribery scheme they claim involved President Joe Biden has been accused of lying to the FBI — and the investigators are rushing to delete any reference to him in their documents.

Huffington Post reporter Arthur Delaney noticed that GOP members in the House Oversight and Reform and Judiciary Committees killed a full paragraph about informant Alexander Smirnov when writing a letter to former State Department official Amos Hochstein. Chairmen Jim Jordan (R-OH) and James Comer (R-KY) killed the paragraph, according to a Democratic House aide, though Huffington Post reviewed an earlier version of the document in which it was included.

Failed Arizona candidate Kari Lake complained Wednesday that her opponents are trying to shut her down with lawsuits.

During an appearance on Real America's Voice, Lake referred to Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer's defamation lawsuit against her. Lake had said that the Arizona official was a criminal after she lost the race for governor.

A former FBI informant was charged with making false claims in the Hunter Biden investigation, with the Department of Justice linking him to Russian intelligence. Now legal experts are saying that the fallout over the development could have major repercussions for Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Jordan.

Informant Alexander Smirnov admitted in interviews with the Justice Department that he had met with Russian intelligence officials who were "involved in passing a story" about Hunter Biden. As Newsweek points out, claims that President Joe Biden financially benefited from his son's business dealings were cited by Jordan and others in their impeachment inquiry of the President.
