Laura Loomer, the pro-Trump right-wing activist whose history of unhinged behavior even worries some of her fellow MAGA devotees, posted a bizarre new conspiracy theory accusing The Atlantic magazine of sending subliminal messages to assassinate former President Donald Trump.

In particular, Loomer says that a recent Atlantic article about the rapid decline of both inflation and crime over the last year is actually a call to murder Trump given that it features stock photos of a bullet hole shot through a piece of glass and a fistful of dollar bills that happen to contain the numbers 4 and 5, which Loomer believes is code for the 45th president.

A Georgia judge ruled Monday that divorce records for special prosecutor Nathan Wade have been improperly sealed.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis hired Wade to assist in her sprawling racketeering case against Donald Trump and his allies for their roles in trying to overturn his 2020 election loss, and his estranged wife's attorney wants to question Willis about an alleged relationship between her and the attorney as part of the divorce case, reported The Messenger.

A Georgia judge declined to order Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to take the stand in prosecutor Nathan Wade's divorce case. Willis has been accused of an affair with Wade, who she then hired to work on the racketeering case against Donald Trump.

In a hearing on Monday, Cobb County Judge Henry Thompson ruled that Wade's divorce records would be unsealed. But the judge stayed an order for Willis to sit for a deposition.

Donald Trump's attorney had a bid to exclude the testimony of a pivotal witness slapped down on Monday before the judge adjourned the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial for at least a day.

The trial, at which Trump was expected to testify before closing arguments began, was adjourned Monday after a juror called in sick and Trump attorney Alina Habba admitted she might have been exposed to Covid, although she chose to not wear a mask in court while accompanying her client.

Rep. Elise Stefanik received a swift and brutal fact check from CNN reporter Paula Reid Monday after news broke of a delay in former President Donald Trump’s defamation trial.

Stefanik threw her social media tantrum shortly after federal Judge Lewis Kaplan, learning a juror reported COVID-like symptoms and Trump’s attorney Alina Habba had been potentially exposed to the virus, adjourned the New York City courtroom for the day.

A supporter of former President Donald Trump told a focus group recently that she thinks women are too emotional to be president, which is why she's sticking with the man who would switch policy positions based on segments he watched on "Fox and Friends."

In a focus group hosted by Sarah Longwell, an unidentified New Hampshire Trump voter explained why she didn't think top rival Nikki Haley was up to the job of running the country.

Even if convicted, there is barely a chance that Donald Trump will be imprisoned before the general election because his legal team has run-down the clock so that there''d be no time left for sentencing, an expert wrote Monday.

Attorney and former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori wrote in Politico that there was still time for trials — particularly special prosecutor Jack Smith's Jan. 6 case — to be concluded before November.

Donald Trump blasted out a series of demeaning posts about author E. Jean Carroll on what should have been the last day of his defamation trial.

The former president posted dozens of screenshots of Carroll tweeting about sex-related topics or jokes, along with right-wing blog posts questioning her motives, character and sanity, during the time Monday morning when the trial was scheduled to resume with him on the stand.

Donald Trump's attorney has asked a federal judge to postpone the former president's defamation trial so her client can campaign for the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday.

The request came at a Monday hearing over allegations Trump defamed writer E. Jean Carroll after raping her. The judge had announced an adjournment of Monday's hearing for a day after a juror fell sick and the attorney, Alina Habba, complained of having a fever.

Asked about what to expect when Donald Trump does make an appearance at the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial — which was set to restart Monday before being adjourned for a day because of illness — MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin explained that court attendees can expect Carroll's legal team to submit a barrage of new evidence against the former president.

"Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski, prompted Rubin, asking, "Where does this go after today? How much longer do you expect this to play out until they decide what the damages are?"

Alina Habba, an attorney for Donald Trump, convinced a federal judge to postpone her client's defamation trial on Monday.

Moments after Monday's hearing started, Habba asked U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan to adjourn because her parents had been exposed to COVID-19, according to reports.

Former President Donald Trump may testify on Monday at the E. Jean Carroll defamation damages trial, but CNN legal analyst Elie Honig predicted that Judge Lewis Kaplan would keep Trump on a very short leash.

In analyzing the upcoming trial, Honig explained how Kaplan's method for handling show boaters in his court would quash any attempt by Trump to grandstand during his testimony.
