As tensions mount nationwide over immigration policy at the U.S. southern border, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) decided Wednesday to float some ideas previously proposed by former President Donald Trump.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) flew into a rage at Cato Institute immigration expert David Bier on Wednesday after he openly mocked her defense of the Trump administration's policies of separating migrant children from their parents.

Ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris' interview with "The View," the co-hosts debated a recent Fox News segment in which Nikki Haley, again, flubbed a question about racism in the United States.

Whoopi Goldberg began the conversation by saying she can't understand why it is so difficult for people to admit that racism played a big role in the history of the country. Sunny Hostin pointed out that the Constitution considered Black people three-fifths of a person. Goldberg recalled the 1891 New Orleans lynching, in which 11 Italian immigrants were attacked by a mob.

As the Supreme Court gears up to decide if Donald Trump's claims of immunity from prosecution are legitimate, another case in front of the court threatens to upend special counsel Jack Smith's prosecution of him, Politico reported.

The case, Joseph W. Fischer v. United States, has raised the issue of whether the Department of Justice has been improperly using a law originally aimed at curbing financial crimes to prosecute Jan. 6 defendant Joseph Fischer. As Politico points out, if the Court rules in Fischer's favor, it would undermine Smith's use of the law against Trump, as well as other Jan. 6 defendants.

On the second day of the trial, writer E. Jean Carroll testified about how she had been defamed after Trump denied raping her.

The writer that former President Donald Trump has been found liable of sexually abusing and defaming testified Wednesday that she entered “a new world” after he publicly called her a liar.

"I've paid just about as dearly as is possible to pay,” Carroll said in the New York courtroom, according to ABC News. "He said people like me, who make false accusations, are very dangerous, in very dangerous territory, that I shouldn't have done it for the sake of publicity.

Republican support for the Jan. 6 insurrectionists is growing, three years after the U.S. Capitol riots — and one online influencer who took part in the attack is a big reason why.

Brandon Straka, who led the "Walk Away" campaign in 2020 that encouraged liberals to abandon the Democratic Party, served house arrest after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct for being part of the mob outside the Capitol, but now he's among many participants who were convicted for their roles who claim to be political prisoners, reported Mother Jones.

Never Back Down told a swath of employees Wednesday morning they were no longer needed, a new report shows.

Former Trump White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci is now explicitly comparing his former boss to fascist dictators Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

Politico reports that Scaramucci gave a warning to business leaders attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland that they would come to regret lining up behind Trump should he become the Republican Party's nominee, and he said they needed to look back to the relationships between business leaders and fascist regimes for proof.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has come under fire for hiring a man with whom she was allegedly romantically involved, and a legal expert outlined the circumstances in which he believes that might get her disqualified from the Donald Trump election interference case.

Willis paid nearly $700,000 to special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who has limited criminal litigation experience, to help two other highly qualified special prosecutors investigate the Georgia racketeering case involving former president Trump and 18 of his Republican allies, and Georgia criminal defense lawyer Andrew Fleischman wrote a column for The Daily Beast explaining how that could get her taken off the case - and why it should.
