Criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis told NewsNation he was surprised to see former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani holding a press conference just minutes after appearing in federal court for failing to turn over his valuables to two former Georgia election workers.

After appearing in federal court on Thursday, Giuliani ranted that Hunter Biden was connected to the defamation case brought by Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss. A judge has ordered the former mayor to turn over much of his property to the women after he failed to pay the $148 million judgment.

California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is preparing on multiple fronts to protect his state from the impending Donald Trump presidency.

“The freedoms we hold dear in California are under attack — and we won’t sit idle,” Newsom said in a statement, the LA Times reports. “California has faced this challenge before, and we know how to respond. We are prepared to fight in the courts, and we will do everything necessary to ensure Californians have the support and resources they need to thrive.”

Former Republican Bill Kristol believes that now is the time for foes of President-elect Donald Trump to start organizing to thwart any efforts to dismantle democratic institutions.

Writing in The Bulwark, Kristol argued that Trump and his movement should have "no honeymoon" and that Democrats need to begin working immediately rather than waiting until he's inaugurated next year.

CNN's Jim Acosta confronted Republican National Hispanic Assembly Vice Chair Luis Figueroa on Thursday about President-elect Donald Trump's plans for mass deportation.

During a panel discussion about Trump significantly increasing support from Latino voters in 2024, Acosta asked Figeuroa about past mass deportation programs that swept up both undocumented immigrants and American citizens.

Wisconsin Senate candidate Eric Hovde is still refusing to concede his loss to Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and blaming a third-party candidate for siphoning off the votes he needed to win.

America First candidate Thomas Leager netted almost the exact vote total as the Hovde's loss margin, and the Republican accused Democrats of propping up the former gun rights lobbyist's long-shot campaign, reported NOTUS.

Despite the fact that he has faced four criminal indictments and is awaiting sentencing on 34 felony charges, President-Elect Donald Trump is extremely popular among far-right evangelical Christian nationalists. And some of them even view his victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race as the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.

That, according to The Guardian's Alice Herman, includes members of the New Apostolic Reformation movement — which, Herman notes, "rejects secularism and embraces 'Christian dominionism,' the idea that Christians are tasked by God to rule over society and government."

November 5 wasn't just a good day for President-elect Donald Trump — it was also a big win for the world's wealthiest men, according to a new report.

CNN reported Thursday that in the immediate aftermath of the election, the net worth of the 10 richest billionaires in the world skyrocketed. The Bloomberg Billionaire Index, which tracks the growth and contraction in net worth of the super-rich in real time, showed there was a $64 billion jump in the collective wealth of the billionaires right at the top of the list.

A federal judge chastised Rudy Giuliani in a court hearing on why he has not surrendered his valuable assets as part of a $148 million defamation judgment.

U.S. district judge Lewis Liman told the former New York City mayor's attorney that the idea that his client does not have any information about where those assets are located is “farcical" after attorneys for Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss visited his Manhattan apartment last week and discovered it had been cleared out weeks earlier, which the former mayor disputed.

Donald Trump is set to be sentenced in New York on Nov. 26, and legal analysts wonder how Judge Juan Merchan will proceed.

Just a few weeks ago, one group of legal experts on the "Jack" podcast suggested that Merchan could issue a jail sentence but suspend it until Trump leaves office.

President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to pardon the violent criminals who attacked the United States Capitol on his behalf on January 6th, 2021, and Bloomberg reports that this is causing real concern among many legal experts about the safety of various people involved in their trials.

Louis Manzo, a former Justice Department lawyer who helped prosecute members of the Oath Keepers militia, tells Bloomberg that he is worried about pardoned MAGA rioters posing what Bloomberg describes as "immediate fears for safety" of judges, lawyers, and witnesses who put them behind bars.

Violent rhetoric from a right-wing lawyer who could be the nation's next attorney general represents the most terrifying sign that President-elect Donald Trump's administration could deliver a fatal blow to democracy, a former federal prosecutor said Thursday.

Former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman told MSNBC host Ana Cabrera he was deeply concerned by Mike Davis' X comments suggesting he wanted to prosecute special counsel Jack Smith and, with unspecified opponents, "to drag their dead political bodies through the streets, burn them, and throw them off the wall."

A Republican strategist expressed concern about some of the names floated as candidates for top jobs in the next Donald Trump administration.

Elon Musk has suggested himself to oversee a newly created Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, an allusion to the circa 2013 meme, to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget, and Trump has mused about putting vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in charge of public health, and GOP strategist Doug Heye told CNN he was hopeful that the president elect would make better choices.
