Going into the November election with Donald Trump all but assured of being the Republican Party's presidential nominee, GOP lawmakers are increasingly having to run any ideas they have for legislation by the former president before bringing it to the floor.

And that has some legislators fuming about his interference.

Party leaders don't expect any last-minute efforts to deprive Donald Trump of the nomination at the Republican National Convention, even in the event of "some crazy hypothetical."

A group of delegates attempted to keep him from securing the nomination at the 2016 convention, but party leaders say there's little opposition to the former president this time after he rolled to easy primary wins in Iowa and New Hampshire, reported NBC News.

Candidates are jockeying to become Donald Trump's running mate, and a recent episode underscores their skullduggery.

A report ran last week on Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) allegedly shopping around opposition research on Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) centered on her anti-Trump comments from 2016, but now The Daily Beast reports that there's speculation the New York Republican spread the story herself.

Despite all of his bravado and claims that his trials are solidifying support among conservatives for his presidential re-election bid, Donald Trump is reportedly raging that a conviction — particularly one involving his conduct around the Jan. 6 insurrection — will doom his chances of winning.

According to a report from Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei of Axios, Trump is convinced a guilty verdict in the case being heard by Judge Tanya Chutkan before the general election will end his political career as voters — particularly any independents who might be leaning towards him — will drop him like a hot rock.

Donald Trump will almost certainly be convicted when he faces trial — but none of the cases will be heard before the general election, a lawyer involved in multiple January 6 prosecutions predicted.

Bill Shipley, who has represented more than 20 defendants in the Capitol riot cases, said the ex-president has barely a chance of being cleared by a jury.

MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire revealed the deeply personal "loathing" that drives President Joe Biden in his rematch against Donald Trump.

The "Morning Joe" contributor and White House bureau chief for Politico reported Thursday that Biden referred to Trump with some colorful curse words in private, and he said the president badly wanted to deprive his 2020 rival of an opportunity to serve again.

The House Ethics Committee's investigation into U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz has expanded once again, this time with the bipartisan group reaching out to another ex-girlfriend of the far-right Florida Republican, according to CNN.

While Gaetz's attorneys in 2022 announced the U.S. Dept. of Justice had told them the Congressman would not be charged, the House Ethics Committee last summer revived its investigation. Now, it appears, a new area of investigation is opening.

A political action committee closely tied to Donald Trump's re-election bid recently spent close to a quarter of a million dollars to investigate the quality of work of his legal team which has now suffered two losses to E. Jean Carroll and her attorneys.

According to an exclusive report from the Daily Beast's Jose Pagliery, FEC filings submitted this week show that the former president's Save America PAC made payments of $238,100 in the last six months to CTS Research, a New York-based private investigator firm, after paying the company another $152,285 earlier in the year.

Trump's third White House run is a political sprint to stay out of prison and he's burning millions of donor dollars to do it.

Donald Trump’s valet, who's been indicted as a central player in Trump's hoarding of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, became his hired hand after being removed from the White House once multiple sexual harassment claims came to light, The Daily Beast reports.
