Former Justice Department official John Yoo believes Donald Trump will likely lose his immunity case before the Supreme Court of the United States.

Yoo, known as a "torture lawyer" for his role in authorizing enhanced interrogations, happened to be interviewing on Fox News when they first reported that Trump was petitioning the high court for a stay in the case where an appeals court shot down the idea of absolute immunity from prosecution.

Former President Donald Trump’s request that the Supreme Court consider his presidential immunity claim managed to hit a “bizarre” and “incredibly inappropriate” tone by the end of its first sentence, former Justice Department prosecutor Andrew Weissmann said Monday.

Weissmann was shocked that a Supreme Court filing — which argues Trump enjoyed absolute freedom as a sitting president — began with an oft-quoted quip from famous former New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra; “This application is ‘déjà vu all over again.”

Actress and singer Barbra Streisand took to the social media platform "X" on Monday to slam former President Donald Trump for his latest attack on singing sensation Taylor Swift.

"Trump is telling Taylor Swift that she’ll be disloyal if she supports Biden!" wrote Streisand. "Can you imagine? This is what a dictator is like. He’s really flipped his lid now."

Former President Donald Trump on Monday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether he is immune from prosecution for election interference.

The move came after the Washington, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the defense he's using in the 2020 election and Jan. 6 case.

An attorney for Fulton County revealed that District Attorney Fani Willis's father would testify at an upcoming evidentiary hearing.

A Michigan GOP lawmaker lost his committee assignment and staff on Monday after he posted "racist ideology" on one of his social media accounts, NBC News reported.

Rep. Josh Schriver faced backlash last week when he shared a post on X that showed a map of the world with Black figures outnumbering white figures and the phrase, “The great replacement!”

Former Fox News and MSNBC personality Megyn Kelly took to X to complain about Andra Day's performance of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" at the Super Bowl — a song also known as the "Black National Anthem."

"The so-called Black National Anthem does not belong at the Super Bowl," wrote Kelly, who has previously generated controversy for insisting that Jesus and Santa Claus are white and defending blackface exhibitions. "We already have a National Anthem and it includes EVERYONE."

Donald Trump's "overpaid" attorneys are gambling their reputations can survive defending a former president who is channeling campaign cash into their coffers, wrote lawyer and MSNBC analyst Katie Phang.

Phang took a close look Monday at reports that Trump's PACs spent roughly 25 percent of their $210 million outlays on legal bills as the former president faces four criminal and two civil court cases and a high-stakes presidential campaign.

A Georgia judge said on Monday that he would hold a hearing to possibly disqualify prosecutors targeting Donald Trump and others in an election subversion case.

During a campaign speech in South Carolina on Saturday, Feb. 10, 2024 GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump made some comments about Russian President Vladimir Putin and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) that both Democrats and Never Trump conservatives have been quick to attack.

Donald Trump could try to avoid paying the millions of dollars awarded to writer E. Jean Carroll in her civil suits against him, according to his own biographer, Tim O'Brien.

Right-wing podcast host Charlie Kirk blamed Travis Kelce's angry moment at the Super Bowl on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Kirk reflected on Kelce's behavior at Super Bowl LVIII on his Monday radio program. The star tight end was accused of having a meltdown after his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, suffered a fumble.

Donald Trump's fascist rhetoric about immigrants has been polling frighteningly well, according to a sobering new survey.

More than a third of the former president's 2020 voters – 35 percent – agree that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of the country, according to a survey by University of Massachusetts Amherst Poll, while just 32 percent of Trump voters and 37 percent of Republicans disagreed with the Nazi slogan, reported Rolling Stone.
