Former President Donald Trump's latest demand to toss his Florida federal court case was published Thursday, making public his argument that Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information first, President Joe Biden is vindictive and the former president is the victim of discrimination, court records show.

Todd Blanche — the lead attorney in both this and Trump's ongoing criminal hush money case in New York City — released Thursday a sweeping 178-page motion to dismiss special counsel Jack Smith's criminal indictment linked to classified documents found in the former president's social club Mar-a-Lago.

A Republican candidate from West Virginia is seeking higher office based on his participation in the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Derrick Evans told right-wing nationalist Steve Bannon that voters were flocking to him after he served 90 days in prison after pleading guilty to felony civil disorder charges. Evans is challenging Rep. Carol Miller (R-WV) in the Republican primary.

Keith Davidson, the attorney who worked with Michael Cohen to arrange hush-money payments to one-time Donald Trump mistresses Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, testified on Thursday about his seemingly horrified realization that he may have helped the now-former president get elected in 2016.

In an exchange flagged by legal reporter Adam Klasfeld, Davidson was asked by prosecutors about an email he sent to National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard on election night in 2016 where he asked, "What have we done?"

While Donald Trump's trial in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr.'s hush money case is moving along at a rapid pace, it appears unlikely that either of special counsel Jack Smith's federal cases against the presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee will go to trial before the November election.

Smith's election interference case is in limbo while the U.S. Supreme Court weighs Trump's absolute immunity claims, and the Mar-a-Lago documents trial has been repeatedly delayed by Judge Aileen Cannon.

Justice Juan Merchan appeared to lose patience with Donald Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, in the hearing on Thursday about potential violations of a gag order, legal analysts and reporters in the courtroom posted on social media.

Trump has already been found to have broken the order nine times. Thursday's hearing came after the Manhattan District Attorney's office accused him of four new violations.

Embattled South Dakota Republican Governor Kristi Noem, under fire the past week after an excerpt from her new book revealed her boasting about shooting to death her 14-month old puppy she "hated," has repeatedly defended her actions as proof she can do hard things that need to be done.

Governor Noem, who has been considered a leading contender to become Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate, appeared on Fox News Wednesday night and blamed the "fake news" for publishing excerpts from her book, which she has not claimed were inaccurate.

New York Justice Juan Merchan corrected Todd Blanche, an attorney for Donald Trump, after he said a gag order prevented the former president from responding to his opponent, President Joe Biden.

The exchange came during a Thursday hearing, during which prosecutors presented evidence that Trump had violated a limited gag order multiple times. The order was designed to prevent Trump from attacking potential witnesses, jurors, court staff, and their families. Under the order, Trump was allowed to speak about Merchan and District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Donald Trump's use of a pseudonym in a non-disclosure agreement with adult movie actress Stormy Daniels has left legal experts bewildered.

The fact that he’s identified by the name David Dennison in the paperwork has confused lawyers, particularly as everything in an NDA is confidential — including the identities of those involved.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has come out with a new way to spin her story about killing a family dog that she said she "hated."

In a new tweet posted on Thursday morning, Noem claimed that the news media had taken her out of context when it accurately reported that she killed a 14-month old dog that she described as "less than worthless... as a hunting dog."

The Wall Street Journal has written a lengthy story about the longshot presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist and son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968.

The report contains a number of eye-opening passages, including a quote from Christine Kramar, the campaign's former ballot access director, who described the atmosphere around RFK Jr. as almost that of a cult.
