Disgraced outgoing NRA president Wayne LaPierre is taking the fall at the organization's civil corruption trial, "The Trace" senior staff writer Mike Spies told CNN on Monday.

"What stood out from LaPierre's testimony today?" asked anchor Jake Tapper.

Rep. Lauren Boebert’s “carpetbagging” campaign in her new Colorado district is already showing signs of flagging, according to a newly reported poll.

The MAGA Republican’s high-profile politics didn’t translate into high numbers in a new straw poll taken at a GOP debate Sunday in the heavily populated District 4 race, the New York Sun reports.

Four search warrants issued in various Hunter Biden investigations will be made public this week, the New York Post reported Monday.

Delaware federal Judge Maryellen Norieka unsealed the warrants in response to an independent journalist's request, according to the report.

Alex Murdaugh will not be given a new trial in the murder case against his wife and son.

The decision, made by retired South Carolina Chief Justice Jean Hoefer Toal, came after arguments by the defense that the guilty verdict was invalid because of jury tampering, with Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill allegedly pressuring jurors on how to vote. State prosecutors denied these allegations, calling it a "conspiracy theory."

The newly-elected Arizona Republican Party chair, Gina Swoboda, proudly told longtime Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon on his "war room" show that the former president personally urged her to run for the position, reported KPNX's Brahm Resnik — and vowed to continue pushing lawsuits on his behalf to restrict access to voting in Arizona.

"How can the Arizona GOP be dead broke in an election year with nine months to go?" asked Bannon.

Rep. Cory Mills schooled fellow Floridian Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz Monday over former President Donald Trump's Middle East policy.

During an episode of his Firebrand podcast, Gaetz told Mills that Trump had kept Iran in check by assassinating Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Gaetz said that Trump's policies had prevented the deaths of soldiers like the U.S. saw on Sunday when three troops died in Jordan. An Iranian-backed militia reportedly carried out the attacks.

The “God's Army” trucker convoy that's headed to the southern border in a "Take Our Border Back" campaign has been decimated by conspiracy theories that it's an FBI front, Vice News reported Monday.

The line of trucks that departed Virginia Beach Monday had just a few dozen participants — much less than the 700,000 organizers had promised.

Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX) was cornered on CNN Monday by anchor Boris Sanchez about whether he will support the Senate border reform compromise deal, as the lawmaker refused to rule out voting for it but continually suggested he was skeptical.

The deal, which has been endorsed by President Joe Biden and was brokered with bipartisan support, hasn't been released publicly in its entirety, but appears to include a number of key concessions to Republicans, including a requirement to restrict border entry when migration levels reach a certain threshold.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) signaled this week that he would not back a border security deal being negotiated by Senate Republicans.

Far-right Republicans in the House expressed outrage in recent weeks because a possible immigration policy deal was said to potentially allow 5,000 migrants to cross into the U.S. each day.

A closed-door meeting between Judge Aileen Cannon and special counsel Jack Smith raises serious questions about the Donald Trump-appointed justice's bias in the former president’s classified documents case, legal analyst Joyce Vance said Monday.

Vance shared her concerns on her Substack about an “oddly scheduled ex-parte meeting” — from which Trump and his attorneys are barred — to discuss the classified documents should be shared with the defense under Section 4 of the Classified Information Procedures Act.

Six weeks after finally releasing the last of his nearly-year-long blockade on hundreds of military positions, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is now offering up a startling analysis after three U.S. service members were killed and more than 30 injured in Jordan when confusion appears to have led to an enemy drone slipping through U.S. defenses.

Tuberville, who did not serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, was quick to blame President Joe Biden on Monday for the loss of the three U.S. soldiers, while also declaring he doesn’t “know who’s running our country” and claiming that Iran doesn’t know where the U.S. stands, while alleging that “possibly” President Biden could be facing criminal prosecution, although he did not say for what crime.

As The New York Times reported Sunday that more than 1,000 Black American pastors have joined the widespread call for a cease-fire in Gaza, U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi suggested the demand was "Putin's message" and said the FBI should investigate groups that are speaking out about Biden's pro-Israel policies.

On CNN, the former House speaker, a California Democrat, told Dana Bash that the "call for a cease-fire is [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's message," and said she thinks some of the protests that have erupted across the U.S. since October to demand the U.S. push for an end to Israel's killing of civilians in Gaza "are connected to Russia."
