It has been over a month since the Washington, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals began deliberating Donald Trump's claims that he should have "presidential immunity" from criminal charges.

And a Politico report Wednesday said Trump is the one benefitting from the court's delay.

A federal lawsuit filed by Disney that claimed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis retaliated against the company for criticizing the state's "Don't Say Gay" law was thrown out by a judge Wednesday, NBC News reported.

The judge ruled that the lawsuit's legal standing was without merit.

Donald Trump is "living in fairyland" if he thinks he can escape conviction in all of his criminal cases, a conservative cable news pundit pointed out Wednesday.

Host John Roberts noted during a panel discussion on Fox News that a Trump conviction "could really swing people's preferences in terms of who they vote for for president."

The far-right Christian Donald Trump supporters who believe in demonic possession, rapture and spiritual warfare could wreak havoc in the temporal world if their leader is reelected, a theological expert warned Wednesday.

Concordia University professor André Gagné, author of "American Evangelicals for Trump: Dominion, Spiritual Warfare, and the End Times," spoke with Salon and raised serious concerns about the evangelicals who believe the former president will usher in “god’s kingdom” on Earth.

The extramarital affair allegations involving Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis actually could result in the dismissal of Georgia racketeering charges against Donald Trump, according to a conservative legal analyst.

Willis is accused of engaging in a romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who was married at the time but is now going through a bitter divorce, and conservative attorney Phil Holloway explained how the district attorney's actions could end the case against Trump, reported Newsweek.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) appears unhappy that members of her own party are working to tank a bipartisan immigration reform deal that they had demanded as a precondition for sending military aid to Ukraine.

As reported by CNN's Manu Raju, Murkowski called out Republicans who are trying to block the bill from coming up for a vote because former President Donald Trump is demanding it be stopped so that he has an issue to use to campaign against President Joe Biden.

Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) has been reported to the House sergeant at arms after he allegedly did pull-ups while suspended hundreds of feet above the ground in the U.S. Capitol dome.

An email reviewed by Politico Wednesday said McCormick was on a tour of the Capitol dome when he began doing pull-ups on the railings. The email accused him of performing "unsafe actions."

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Wednesday tried to pin down TikTok CEO Shou Chew for ties to the Chinese Communist Party — despite the fact that he is not even from China.

During a Senate hearing about the societal impacts of social media, Cotton asked the executive about his history working as chief financial officer for Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi, and he acknowledged that he worked in Beijing for around five years while at that particular job.

Frustrated Republican senators pushed back against Donald Trump after the former president encouraged killing a bipartisan border security deal.

In remarks over the weekend, Trump suggested Republicans should vote down the bill because it was a "betrayal."

The 'God's Convoy" trucker convoy that's headed to the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas in a "Take Our Border Back" campaign is off to a rocky start, according to a report from Wired.

The movement aimed to amass thousands of trucks at the border in what organizers called a "Biblical" protest of the record number of migrants who are illegally crossing into the U.S.

Writing for the Rachel Maddow blog, long-time producer Steve Benen explained that John Bolton's latest attack on Donald Trump is starting to make him sound like a Democrat.

“A mountain of facts demonstrates that Trump is unfit to be president,” Benen wrote, quoting Bolton but without initially identifying the source. “If his first four years were bad, a second four will be worse.”

Former President Donald Trump and failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake were blasted by columnist E.J. Montini in The Arizona Republic Wednesday for relying on — and fighting to perpetuate — chaos at the border as a "campaign strategy."

This comes as President Joe Biden and Senate Republicans have struck up a bipartisan plan that would tighten border security and implement several GOP policy goals — but it appears headed for a dead end as Trump heavily lobbies House and Senate Republicans to kill the deal and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has said he's unlikely to allow it a vote.
