Although special counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis are both prosecuting election interference cases against former President Donald Trump, their criminal indictments differ in some important ways.

Willis, unlike Smith, is using RICO laws to prosecute Trump. And Willis has indicted a long list of Trump allies as co-defendants. Smith's election interference case, so far, doesn't have any indicted co-defendants — only unindicted alleged co-conspirators.

Donald Trump is set to face yet another trial this month involving allegations that he duped investors into putting money into a failed video phone.

The little-mentioned civil trial is scheduled to start on January 29, Newsweek reported Monday.The judge has, however, signaled that it's likely that date will be pushed back

Amid expectations that the right-wing U.S. Supreme Court will soon consider legal arguments that former President Donald Trump should be disqualified from 2024 Republican primary ballots, Democratic Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin on Sunday called for Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from any such cases.

Raskin—a constitutional scholar and the lead Trump impeachment manager after the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol—appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" to discuss claims that the Republican is not qualified to hold office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution after inciting an insurrection.

Rockers Green Day changed the lyrics to one of their classic songs to slam Donald Trump during a New Year's Eve performance viewed by millions.

The band performed their song "American Idiot" on Dick Clark's New Year's Eve Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, but sneaked in a dig at Trump and his followers.

Another New Year's Eve brings with it another opportunity for the world to watch the polite and proper CNN journalist, Anderson Cooper, willingly humiliate himself on live television.

Thus it began with tequila shots, which Cooper knocked back before unleashing such a face of disgust that social media couldn't help but laugh.

Former prosecutor and longtime legal analyst Harry Litman walked through the amicus brief filed by a group of conservatives and American Oversight, which cites the late Justice Antonin Scalia in a decision that could upend Donald Trump's desperation to delay his trial.

Taking to social media on Sunday after a follower asked him to explain it in simple terms, Litman said that the way Scalia wrote his majority decision would force Trump's appeals and delays to wait until after the trial is held.

The reputation of the Supreme Court flowed quickly down the drain in 2023 as more reports detailed the scandalous breach of ethics unfolding at the High Court. The final report of the year from Chief Justice John Roberts left out mounting questions for the top judiciary and problems about whether the body is too far gone to repair its image.

Washington Post columnist Ann E. Marimow wrote Sunday that the yearly report from Roberts left out a lot, and it's not going to help as the Court enters 2024.

The Wall Street Journal is known for its far-right leanings, but on New Year's Eve associate editor John Bussey revealed to Fox viewers that the top issue in 2024 will likely be the economy, and Joe Biden is winning.

He began by citing former President Donald Trump's criminal prosecutions he'll be facing in 2024 after already being found to have sexually abused E. Jean Carroll by a civil court.

Former federal prosecutor Harry Litman told MSNBC on Sunday that he expects the timeline for Donald Trump's "absolute immunity" claim to move quickly.

He began by saying that the appeals court is likely to strike down Trump's claim because the presidential immunity details that the action must be within the context of the job as president.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani left open the possibility on Sunday that supporters of Donald Trump could "get violent" if he is removed from state ballots because of the 14th Amendment.

Giuliani made the remarks after a caller on his WABC radio show asked him if Trump supporters could turn violent over Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars anyone who participated in an insurrection from holding federal office.
