A conservative former Georgia lieutenant governor blasted the state's Trump-backed election board after it decided to have ballots hand-counted, saying the panel "got their way" after months of "carrying Donald Trump's water."

Geoff Duncan, a vocal anti-Trump Republican who this week said Trump was responsible for Jan. 6 and death threats against Duncan's family, joined CNN anchor Anderson Cooper on Friday night to talk about the much-derided board decision.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has asked a federal judge to issue sanctions against tech billionaire Elon Musk if he continues blowing off depositions about his acquisition of Twitter, now known as X, reported CNBC.

According to the report, the SEC "has been investigating whether Musk or anyone else working with him committed securities fraud in 2022 as the Tesla CEO sold shares in his automaker and shored up a stake in Twitter ... In May, the court ordered Musk to appear for a deposition by the financial regulators regarding the Twitter deal."

A far-right activist and Donald Trump confidante claims to have obtained a "whistleblower complaint" filed by an ABC News employee with the Securities and Exchange Commission, alleging that the network rigged the debate between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in the latter's favor. But the complaint is riddled with red flags that cast doubt on its authenticity, reporter James Surowiecki posted on X.

Specifically, Laura Loomer said the complaint alleged: "I have heard and observed conversations and have evidence in hand of ABC news, a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney Media networks, which is a division of The Walt Disney Company, collusion between ABC news (sic) and the Kamala Harris campaign for the Presidency of the United States."

In the wake of rap star Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account to post a picture of Vice President Kamala Harris with Diddy.

There's just one problem, reported NBC News: the image wasn't real. It was created by artificial intelligence software.

North Carolina's Republican senior U.S. senator on Friday evening called for the state's embattled GOP gubernatorial candidate to make a decision: take accountability or take legal action.

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has denied an explosive report this week from CNN's KFILE that he praised slavery and called himself a "Black Nazi" on a pornographic message board years before entering politics. On Friday, another report surfaced a post in which the same account praised Adolf Hitler's autobiographical manifesto.

Former President Donald Trump can now start selling his Truth Social stock after a 6-month "lock-up" period has finally expired. But there's one problem: His shares are effectively worthless compared to six months ago.

When Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) — trading as Trump's initials, $DJT, on the Nasdaq Composite — launched its initial public offering (IPO) in late March, one share would set an investor back by almost $71. But as of September 20, the stock's price is in the gutter, trading at just $13.72 per share.

After months of relative silence, former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) is openly campaigning for former President Donald Trump, making good on her endorsement of a former opponent she bitterly fought in a tough primary — blasting out an email to his supporters saying she and he are "united."

Her decision drew derision on social media from conservative attorney turned never-Trump strategist George Conway.

A bipartisan group of former government officials in Georgia condemned the state's Trump-backed election board's new mandate that ballots be hand-counted.

The board voted 3-2 to require that county election boards count ballots by hand and compare their results to electronic voting machine tallies. Critics argued Friday the change was designed to deliver the state to former President Donald Trump on Nov. 5.

A Republican strategist swatted away any notion that it was "inappropriate" for former President Donald Trump to call into a meeting with officials in Nebraska and encourage them to change election rules to a winner-take-all system.

Nebraska is one of two states that award some electoral votes by congressional district. While the state is overwhelmingly and reliably Republican-leaning, Democrats could win an electoral vote from the Omaha area. In what's expected to be a razor-thin election, one vote could boost Kamala Harris' chances to defeat Trump if she secures the battleground states Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, according to a Washington Post analysis.

Political troublemakers at the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project trolled the former president again Friday, this time in an ad targeting Donald Trump's white nationalist and conspiracy-theorizing adviser Laura Loomer.

The far-right firebrand has been noticeably at the side of the former president for weeks and long-time Trump loyalists are begging him to reject her.

Another eyebrow-raising post has surfaced purportedly from an account linked to far-right North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, following explosive reporting this week from CNN's KFILE that he praised slavery and called himself a "Black Nazi" on a pornographic message board years before entering politics.

According to The Washington Post, on that very same message board, Nude Africa, he also praised "Mein Kampf," the autobiography and political manifesto written by Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler prior to his rise to power.

The editor-in-chief for a conservative news and opinion site took to the social media site X to jab Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine over comments he wrote in The New York Times.

DeWine and his Republican comrades in the state have faced myriad of threats after former President Donald Trump and running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance's (R-OH), promoted a racist conspiracy theory that Haitian immigrants are eating people's pets in Springfield, Ohio.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters may not officially be endorsing a presidential candidate this year, but a scathing analysis concluded that its president has already done Donald Trump "an unreasonably large favor."

Sean O'Brien divided the union, one of America's largest when he spoke at the Republican National Convention. That divide only deepened after union leadership declined to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in 28 years, with several local units coming forward to make their endorsements for Vice President Kamala Harris. O'Brien's predecessor James P. Hoffa even condemned the move.
