U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon granted a motion filed by special counsel Jack Smith Wednesday that would force one of Donald Trump's co-defendants to redact an upcoming filing in a classified documents case.

In a court document filed last month, Smith said he was concerned about "certain portions" of briefs that defendant Walt Nauta and Trump presented to the court. Smith contended that those portions of the briefs "require extensive redactions."

Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert has jumped from her own district and into another part of the state in an effort to keep a seat in Congress — but one columnist on Wednesday said it was she, not the area she covered, that was the problem.

Writing for the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday, Mark Z. Barabak called the congresswoman "one of a feral breed of conservatives attacking Congress from within."

One of the possible picks to be Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate, seen as "rapidly ascending" the list, is urging billionaires to vote for the ex-president.

North Dakota Republican Governor Doug Burgum "is quickly moving up former President Trump's list of possible vice presidential picks because Trump's team believes he would be a safe choice who could attract moderate voters," Axios reported on Sunday. "Burgum is on a long list of VP contenders, but Trump's rising interest in the North Dakota governor has been clear in recent weeks — and reveals his latest thinking about how he thinks his running mate could help him with undecided voters."

Donald Trump's allies might land him in jail for contempt of court after New York Justice Juan Merchan laid down the law.

The judge held the former president in criminal contempt for nine violations of a gag order prohibiting him from making public statements about witnesses and jurors in the case, but the narrowly defined order also bars Trump from directing others to make statements that could undermine the trial's integrity, wrote former Justice Department official Anthony Coley in a new column for MSNBC.

The co-chairman of former President Donald Trump's campaign is fuming about right-wing media giving friendly interviews to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — who could potentially trip up Trump's bid to retake the White House.

Polling suggests that Kennedy, an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist, could take voters from both Biden and Trump, which is why Politico reports that Trump insiders are growing nervous that he's scoring interviews with right-wing media stars such as Ben Shapiro, Glenn Beck and Megyn Kelly.

Former President Donald Trump faced much mockery Wednesday morning after word spread of a major fundraising event scheduled amid the Republican presumptive nominee's criminal hush money trial.

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman shared news on X Wednesday morning of the Trump fundraiser — to be hosted in New York City by billionaire businessman Howard Lutnick — and it was promptly ridiculed.

At a rally for Donald Trump Wednesday, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell showed up to sell "absolutely free" pillows to the MAGA faithful.

Lindell appeared before a crowd of Trump supporters while interviewing on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast.

In recent years, Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas has been in hot water over his failure to disclose luxury junkets paid for by far-right billionaire donors. But a new report shows that federal judges across the country are effectively doing the same thing, with little to no accountability.

A Wednesday report by National Public Radio found that dozens of federal district and circuit court judges — appointed by both Democratic and Republican presidents — are routinely failing to file timely financial disclosure reports as required by law.

Donald Trump's second administration will find itself unable to rely on a key restraint that prevented the former president from pursuing bad federal policy during his first term, a one-time staffer warned Wednesday.

Former Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews appeared on CNN to share her fears that Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, will surround himself with easily swayed staffers should he regain the White House in 2025.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) admitted that "nobody" wanted the drama she was creating by trying to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) — but she's doing it anyway.

Following a press conference Wednesday where Greene vowed to trigger a "motion to vacate" the Speaker's chair next week, she spoke to conservative podcaster Steve Bannon.

A new filing in a defamation lawsuit filed by Georgia poll workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss against the conspiracy theory website Gateway Pundit reveals that workers at the site feared for their credibility, reported The Guardian — and their own attorney warned them that the source for their claims was not to be trusted.

The site's founder, Jim Hoft, has earned the nickname "The Dumbest Man on the Internet" for years of strange and sloppy claims. Despite this, former President Donald Trump has been reported to be an avid reader of the site.

Former President Donald Trump spent his day off from his ongoing criminal trial by floating a conspiracy theory about pro-Palestinian protests taking place on campuses across the country.

Students have been protesting Israel's war in Gaza in demonstrations that have led to police crackdowns and mass arrests, but the former president claimed Tuesday night on Fox News that "paid agitators" were spurring the movement, and the following morning he suggested the Biden administration might be involved.
