As she closes the gap in the polls between herself and Donald Trump, former Gov. Nikki Haley's bid to become the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nominee is facing more scrutiny — including on a recent 11-month period where she made an estimated $2.5 million.

According to a report from the Washington Post, Haley stepped down as Trump's U.N. ambassador in late 2018, not long after a process server attempted to serve her with papers at the United Nations building over the foreclosure of her parents’ lake house on which she was listed as a defendant.

'Huge, systematic plot': Expert says new Trump tape 'sounds like classic case of bribery'

Legal and political experts are responding to Thursday night's bombshell news of secret recordings of then-President Donald Trump, two weeks after the 2020 election, allegedly personally pressuring two Wayne County, Michigan election officials to not certify the results for Joe Biden. It "sounds like a classic case of bribery," says one expert, and is being called a "huge, systemic plot" to "seize power despite losing an election," by another.

'Couldn't have come at a worse time': Analyst says Colorado ruling has Trump foes reeling

When the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump is ineligible for the state's 2024 Republican presidential primary ballot, the other candidates were quick to rush to his defense.

The justices, in a 4-3 decision, ruled that he is disqualified from running for president in the state under Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment. Section 3 states that an "officer" who has engaged in "insurrection" cannot run for office, and the justices believe he did that when he tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election results despite the fact that now-President Joe Biden clearly won.

Religious scholars expose Mike Johnson’s 'malignant' Christian mission

After Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted as House speaker, some Democrats worried that Republicans would nominate someone even further to the right — which is exactly what happened when Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) stepped up.

Johnson isn't known for being loud, boisterous or flamboyant — he has even been described as "soft spoken." But his history is hardly that of a moderate, and critics — including veteran Democratic strategist James Carville — are sounding the alarm about his long history of pushing far-right Christian nationalism.
