Donald Trump's crowd envy and superpower flexing are digging him into a deep legal hole, his niece warned.

Mary Trump has been unsparing with her jabs at her notorious uncle and, in a recent edition of her Substack podcast "The Good In Us," she talks about his bravado backfiring.

House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-LA) announcement Friday that he will be releasing all of the Capitol security footage from the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has left lawmakers in danger, an expert warned.

The security risk, warned former House January 6 Committee investigator Tim Heaphy on MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," comes because it gives away the exact location of all the Capitol security cameras — and lets any future rioters prepare.

In a letter sent to House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), White House special counsel Dick Sauber questioned the legitimacy of the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, The Washington Post reported.

Sauber called on Comer and Jordan to withdraw their subpoenas of Biden family members and aides.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is proposing a trial start date of August 5, 2024 for former President Donald Trump's election racketeering case, according to a new filing Friday.

This comes amid uncertainty about the start date of a number of other trials against the former president, including the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case and the federal election interference case, both brought by special counsel Jack Smith.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) brokered a deal this week to avoid a government shutdown — and he did so with a "clean resolution" that the far-right would be expected to vehemently oppose — because it passed with mostly Democratic votes.

A similar situation just a few weeks ago saw Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) booted from the speakership, leading to weeks of fighting and rudderlessness in the House.

New York Judge Arthur Engoron has denied former President Donald Trump's motion for a mistrial in the civil fraud case against him and his two adult sons.

In a filing released on Friday, Engoron declared the motion "utterly without merit" and refused to even schedule a hearing to discuss it, dismissing it out of hand.

Alex Murdaugh, who was convicted of murdering his wife and son earlier this year, agreed to a plea deal Friday ahead of a trial in relation to financial charges leveled against him, The Daily Beast reported.

Murdaugh was accused of stealing around $4.3 million in insurance money intended for the family of his late housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield. He is currently serving two life sentences in state prison for the murder of his family members.

As part of their Project 2025 agenda, Donald Trump's MAGA allies have — according to reports in the New York Times, the Washington Post and Axios — been thinking long and hard about the type of MAGA Republicans they would like to include in a second Trump Administration.

Its idea is to give the United States' federal government a thorough MAGA makeover and make sure that only devout, unquestioning loyalists are hired.

New details about Rep. George Santos' (R-NY) allegedly criminal campaign finance operations are emerging. The Daily Beast is reporting that obscure footnotes in the House Committee on Ethics' recent report on Santos show a complex rabbit hole that eventually leads to a billionaire Florida lawyer.

Key among the committee's findings is an alleged pass-through scheme involving Santos' company, the Devolder Organization. When examining one of the footnotes and two appendix items in the fine print of the report, the Beast discovered that the Devolder Organization's large donations to Santos' Congressional campaign account ultimately came from Miami, Florida-based attorney John Ruiz, the founder of a Medicare litigation firm. With a net worth of $1.5 billion, Ruiz is ranked number 1,905 on Forbes' 2023 billionaires' list. Ruiz used a shell company, A-RU Holdings, to make a $250,000 payment to Devolder.
