Push Notification

According to an upcoming book by ABC News' Jonathan Karl, Donald Trump believed a fraudulent conspiracy theory pushed by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell that claimed he could be reinstated as president before the 2024 election, Rolling Stone reported.

Lindell disseminated the claim that Trump could be back in power by Aug. 13, 2021, saying he could prove that the 2020 election was hacked by the Chinese. According to Rolling Stone's report, in the months after he left office, Trump became so obsessed with the theory that some of his advisers grew increasingly worried he would pin all his hopes on it.

Special counsel Jack Smith urged U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to deny Donald Trump's motion for further delays in his federal election subversion trial.

In a motion filed on Sunday, attorneys for Trump complained that the prosecution had filed an "oversized, 64-page omnibus response" to a motion to dismiss the case. Trump's replies to the prosecution's filing were due by Nov. 16.

Former Trump "fixer" Michael Cohen questioned former President Donald Trump's legal strategy this week and said it could lead to one of his two eldest sons being hit with criminal charges.

In an interview with Salon's Igor Derysh, Cohen said it was a big mistake for Trump and his lawyers to send Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump back out to serve as defense witnesses in New York Attorney General Letitia James' civil fraud trial against the Trump Organization.

Donald Trump has made very clear that he intends to have the Department of Justice do his bidding if he wins a second term as president — and a variety of experts believe he would face little opposition to doing so.

If Democrats retake the House and Trump is re-elected, impeachment would be a threat against any effort he took to kill his criminal cases. But nearly everyone interviewed by The Messenger agreed he would instantly set off a constitutional crisis from the moment he took office.

Donald Trump Jr. took the stand on Monday as the first witness for the Trump Organization's defense in the $250 million financial fraud case filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The son of former President Donald Trump had previously appeared when called by the prosecution, claiming that he was not involved in preparing the financial documents used by the company for loan applications and insurance bids, and stating that was the job belonging to the company's accountants.

New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron ruled that attorneys for Donald Trump could use public relations materials from his website in his $250 million fraud trial.

The New York Attorney General's office objected on Monday after attorneys for Trump presented a PowerPoint slide called "The Trump Story" while Donald Trump Jr. was on the stand.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Monday hammered the Republican Party for its refusal to condemn Donald Trump for describing his political opponents as "vermin."

While linking to a video clip of the Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel refusing to condemn Trump for his rhetoric, Cheney warned of the dark historical underpinnings that it entails.

Donald Trump's older sister and retired federal Judge Maryanne Trump Barry has died, The New York Times reported Monday.

Barry was 86-year-old. She was the oldest child of real-estate mogul Fred Trump and Mary Anne MacLeod Trump.

Sen Tim Scott's surprise announcement on Fox News late Sunday that he is suspending his moribund bid to be the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nominee was greeted by shock from his staffers — and no small amount of amusement by critics of the South Carolina Republican.

Appearing with former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) Scott, who trailed far behind Donald Trump in the polls and never moved the needle despite months of campaigning, told Gowdy, "When I go back to Iowa it will not be as a presidential candidate. The voters, who are the most remarkable people on the planet … They’re telling me, ‘Not now, Tim.’ I don’t think they’re saying, Trey, ‘no,’ but I do think they’re saying, ‘not now.’”

Former President Donald Trump has asked U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon to reschedule a hearing so he can attend court in New York, where he has been accused of 34 counts of falsifying business records.

In a motion filed on Monday, attorneys for Trump told Cannon that he had a conflict for a scheduled Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) hearing on Feb. 15 and 16.

Republican parties in 2024 battleground states are plagued with infighting and fundraising woes — some due to the legal costs incurred by attempts to overturn Donald Trump's 2020 election loss, The Washington Post reported Monday.

“There has been an emphasis on ideological cleansing instead of electioneering,” said former Georgia GOP chairman John Watson. “If those new entrants to the party want to argue the earth is flat and the election is stolen, those are counterproductive to winning elections.”

A Trump campaign spokesperson is threatening critics who are comparing the ex-president’s Veterans Day remarks to those made by Hitler or Mussolini, saying they will be “crushed” when he returns to the White House.

Many responded with outrage after Trump, in a speech on Saturday, likened opponents on the left to “vermin,” and promised to target them if he wins in 2024.
