Former Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) accused the Democrats of pulling a fast one on the House Oversight and Reform Committee Republicans Wednesday when Hunter Biden appeared unexpectedly at a meeting discussing charging him with contempt of Congress.

"A remarkable day on Capitol Hill," he told MSNBC after the incident unfolded.

French European Commissioner Thierry Breton claims that Donald Trump once said that America would not come to the aid of Eurpoean allies if they were attacked militarily, Politico reported.

"'You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you,'" Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020, according to Breton.

A House Oversight Committee hearing descended into chaos on Wednesday after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) called for Hunter Biden to be arrested on the spot.

At a hearing to consider contempt of Congress charges for Biden, lawmakers were shocked when the witness showed up.

Donald Trump's golf course in Scotland is hemorrhaging money as he continues dumping cash into the foundering resort, according to a report.

Trump International Golf Club Scotland, which owns the resort near Aberdeen, lost more than $938,260 last year after losing a reported $886,134 the year before, according to company filings reported by The Telegraph.

After a contentious first ten minutes of the House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing, Hunter Biden walked out of the room as chaos erupted.

The hearing began with the president's son apparently surprising Republicans by appearing for the hearing as Rep. James Comer (R-KY) was eager to attack him for contempt for refusing to appear.

Rep. James Comer's (R-KY) House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing began on Wednesday, finally bringing Hunter Biden to appear before the members. The expectation is that Comer plans to file a contempt resolution against him.

As the committee hearing began, the chair swore in the witness but neglected to have the Pledge of Allegiance, which is typical at the start of the day.

Former President Donald Trump's "presidential immunity" argument in the federal election conspiracy case is widely considered to have faceplanted in court this week, as his lawyer, former Missouri Solicitor General John Sauer, argued before a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals that Trump could not be prosecuted for assassinating political opponents unless he was impeached first, and maybe not even then.

But there was another moment of the trial that also blew a huge hole in Trump's immunity argument that has been less discussed, according to attorney George Conway in a deep analysis for he wrote for The Atlantic

George Conway confidently predicted Donald Trump would quickly lose his immunity battle and stand trial as scheduled in his Washington, D.C., election subversion case.

The former president's attorney argued Tuesday that he should be broadly immune from criminal prosecution because he had not been convicted in his impeachment trial by the Senate following the Jan. 6 insurrection, but Conway told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" the three-judge appeals court panel might already have decided to deny that claim.

CNN anchor Abby Phillip ran through a laundry list of Donald Trump's excuses as he tried yet again on Tuesday to escape some of the 91 criminal charges against him.

The NewsNight host listed what she suggested was a complete list of the reasons why Trump says he should avoid prosecution or evade the civil claims against him. It wasn't short.

Matt Hall, the pro-Trump House Minority Leader in the Michigan legislature, previously faced a police investigation over a domestic violence complaint, The Daily Beast reported on Wednesday — although the woman who made the complaint now disavows it.

"Police records reveal that State House Republican Leader Matt Hall was accused in 2019 of domestic assault and interfering in a 911 call. He was never charged," reported Kate Briquelet. "Hall and his office did not return messages left by The Daily Beast. The woman who filed the report told us that negative reports about Hall aren’t true and that she 'wouldn’t be in a relationship with him if this was the type of person he was.'" She added that, “I think members of the public should know Matt Hall is a committed public servant who wants to do what’s best for his family, constituents and the people of Michigan.”

A federal judge effectively neutered most of Donald Trump's defenses in his upcoming defamation trial.

The former president's attorneys had been preparing for his second defamation trial involving journalist E. Jean Carroll as if the first one never happened in hopes of clearing his name after a jury found him liable for sexual assault, but U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan issued a new order severely limiting the parameters of this case, reported The Daily Beast.

The right-wing National Review published an editorial on Wednesday in which it all but begged conservatives to find someone besides former President Donald Trump to be the party's nominee.

The crux of the editorial attacks the common conceit among Trump supporters that the only thing he's done wrong has been to write "mean tweets," and the editors argue that his actions leading up to and during the January 6th Capitol riots are the main argument against his candidacy.
