A midwife was fined $300,000 for creating fake vaccine records for around 1,500 children throughout the state of New York, CNN reported.

Jeannette Breen "supplied children with a series of homeopathic oral pellets instead of the required vaccinations, and then falsified their immunization records," according to CNN.

"What in the hell?!!"

That was one of many responses to reports that Donald Trump lawyer Alina Habba has raked in more than $2.5 million in legal fees between February 2022 and June last year — and that does not include what she has billed in the past six months.

Top Republicans who once decried Trump and the U.S. Capitol attacks joined Thursday nearly 200 party members to throw support behind the former president's fight against an insurrectionist ballot ban, court records show.

Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) — all of whom criticized Trump's actions on Jan. 6 2021 — are among 180 Republican lawmakers named in an amicus brief sent to the Supreme Court as it considers Colorado’s decision to bump the candidate for the party's presidential nomination from the state's 2024 presidential ballot.

Donald Trump's latest pronouncement, an overnight outburst directed at the U.S. Supreme Court, claiming he is entitled to "complete and total immunity" because he was president, even if he "crossed the line," is being seen as a dangerous and deadly threat and a harbinger of what a second Trump presidential term would mean.

Critics on Thursday have been highly-focused on the ex-president's remarks, which he posted just before 2 AM on his Truth Social website, with many now sounding the alarm.

A man convicted after participating in the riot on Jan. 6, 2021, has asked a federal judge to allow him to delay his possible release from jail and called his time in prison "awesome and very fun."

Prosecutors have asked for three years in prison for Brandon Fellows after he was convicted of one felony count of obstruction and four misdemeanors. Fellows was scheduled to be sentenced on March 1, but he asked to delay the sentencing even though he was likely to be released based on time already served.

Donald Trump and his allies are sending a message to GOP campaigns not to hire Republican strategist Jeff Roe or his firm after he worked for Ron DeSantis, Politico reported.

According to Politico, the move is designed to deprive Roe's political consulting firm, Axiom, in an act of political retribution. Roe was previously a top strategist for the DeSantis super PAC, Never Back Down. He resigned last month after news reports of infighting.

A "primary patron" of Hunter Biden's since his father became president has agreed to be questioned by the three House committees leading the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, The New York Post reported.

Known as Hunter's "sugar brother," Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris was key in procuring income sources for Hunter from China and Ukraine, among others.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) on Thursday dropped the hammer on former President Donald Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, for raking in serious foreign cash off Trump's four-year tenure in the White House.

During a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, Garcia declared that "Donald Trump and his family, especially the Kushners, participated in the largest presidential grift in history."

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan denied part of former President Donald Trump's motion asking for special counsel Jack Smith to be held in contempt of court. But she also said Smith must not provide any additional filings to the court without notice.

In a six-page order released on Thursday, Chutkan responded to Trump's request to forbid Smith from making any additional filings in the former president's election subversion case while a higher court decided if he had immunity from prosecution.

Criticism is swirling online about the job performance of one of Donald Trump's lawyers, Alina Habba. But former Florida attorney general candidate Daniel Uhlfelder shared documents Thursday that showed she's not giving her expertise cheaply.

A Federal Elections Commission report shared by Uhlfelder showed that Trump's campaigns and super PACs have made multiple payments to Habba and her firm between February in 2022 and June last year — and they total $2,528,408.06.

E. Jean Carroll spent decades building a reputation as a writer — now she is known only as the woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her, a columnist wrote Thursday.

The author and journalist has written advice columns, biographies, memoirs and other books, but now she's only ever asked to write about or comment on the former president found liable for sexually abusing and then defaming her. And Washington Post columnist Monica Hesse sees Carroll as an avatar for the rest of the nation.

Alina Habba's two-day effort to discredit E. Jean Carroll's defamation case collapsed Thursday under the weight of a single question from the former journalist's attorney, an ex-prosecutor said.

Habba hoped to prove the damages Carroll contends she suffered occurred before then-President Donald Trump publicly accused her of lying about his sexual abuse in the 1990s, writes Joyce Vance.

Attorneys for Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman filed a vehement objection to Rudy Giuliani's request for a delay in paying his $148 million defamation penalty Thursday.

Donald Trump's former campaign attorney was ordered to pay the staggering sum in damages to the mother-daughter pair of Georgia election workers, whom he falsely accused of manipulating ballots in 2020, but their attorneys called out Giuliani's apparent attempts to evade the court order after filing for bankruptcy.
