Donald Trump's attorneys were given "marching orders" in December 2020 not to get the then-president's hopes up about overturning his election loss, according to new evidence turned up in an election subversion case.

CNN obtained audio recordings of attorney Kenneth Chesebro telling Michigan state prosecutors last week that he and other Trump lawyers were given that clear instruction before going into the Oval Office for a photo opportunity with the ex-president two days after the Wisconsin Supreme Court had rejected his lawsuit to nullify the state's election results.

Former President Donald Trump is selling pieces of his suit he wore when his mugshot photograph was taken in Georgia earlier this year — and his former communications aide Alyssa Farah Griffin is upset that people are falling for his scam.

Thus far, Trump has spent over $37 million on legal fees, with another $130 million in donor money being steered to the cost of his trials. He announced the suit sell-off Tuesday as a way to cover the costs.

Attorneys for Donald Trump are now comparing Jack Smith to the "Grinch," while alleging the Special Counsel is attempting to disenfranchise millions of American voters by trying to convict the ex-president.

"The prosecution has one goal in this case: To unlawfully attempt to try, convict, and sentence President Trump before an election in which he is likely to defeat President Biden. This represents a blatant attempt to interfere with the 2024 presidential election and to disenfranchise the tens of millions of voters who support President Trump’s candidacy," the ex-president's attorneys wrote in a motion opposing expedited review of Trump's already-rejected claim of absolute immunity from prosecution because he was President when he attempted to overturn the 2020 election results.

Reps. James Comer (R-KY) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) announced on Wednesday that they would initiate contempt of Congress proceedings after Hunter Biden declined to appear for a closed-door deposition.

"Hunter Biden today defied lawful subpoenas and we will now initiate contempt of Congress proceedings," the pair said in a statement.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) this week revealed that he has stopped appearing on "Fox & Friends" because he does not appreciate the scrutiny he's received from host Steve Doocy.

As The New Republic reports, Comer on Tuesday night appeared on Newsmax host Eric Bolling's show to discuss his impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden, and he revealed that Doocy's skeptical questioning had driven him away from Fox News' flagship morning program.

Before the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville back in 2017, then-talk radio host Dave Reilly adopted the screen name "Davey Crockett" and dispensed advice to those who were to attend, according to a report from Investigate West.

Reilly was part of a private online group tasked with planning and promoting the white nationalist rally, according to a subsequent investigation. He warned others to avoid posting Nazi imagery to social media and called for attendees to march straight through the “commons with torches for the night rally,” because it would “give us the opportunity to take photos and videos and lots of good propaganda.”

Donald Trump hasn't been shy about stating his dictatorial ambitions, and his campaign cemented that narrative by commenting on his threats.

The former president and 2024 Republican frontrunner, along with some of his allies, have openly threatened to use government powers against their enemies, suggesting they'll invoke the Insurrection Act upon taking office, pardon Jan. 6 rioters, create immigrant detention camps and stack the government with loyalists — and The Bulwark columnist A.B. Stoddard said those threats should set voters on edge.

Republican members of the House hit out at Hunter Biden Wednesday, claiming he was refusing to appear before their committee while — just outside the door on Capitol Hill — Biden was at a press conference saying he continues to be more than willing to meet with lawmakers in public but refuses to be questioned in secret.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) snapped at reporters, telling them they didn't know what they were talking about when they peppered him with questions.

Donald Trump will not be able to use "presidential immunity" as a defense in a defamation case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll after he claimed that he did not rape her.

A three-judge panel on the Second US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled to uphold a federal judge's previous decision against Trump. The court found that Trump had waived his presidential immunity, and rejected his attempts to assert it as a defense now.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) interrupted Reps. James Comer (R-KY) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Wednesday as they tried to make the case to reporters that President Joe Biden had improperly benefited from his son's overseas business dealings.

As Comer rehashed claims that there was something nefarious about Hunter Biden repaying his father for a loan that he'd made so that he could buy a truck, Greene started speaking over her Republican colleagues and leveling QAnon-style allegations against the president's son.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) agreed to hear the appeal of a January 6 defendant. The implications could impact former President Donald Trump's pending criminal trial.

SCOTUS granted several writs of certiorari Wednesday, in which it agrees to take up cases heard in federal appellate courts. The last writ granted on Wednesday was in the case of Fischer, Joseph W. v. United States, which involves a participant in the deadly U.S. Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.

Reps. James Comer (R-KY), Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) had a contentious meeting with reporters who surrounded them in a congressional office building on Wednesday as they headed into an effort to impeach President Joe Biden.

The confrontation happened just minutes after Biden's son, Hunter Biden, slammed House GOPers for their campaign against his dad.
