In the wake of Donald Trump's recent meeting with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, where the two reportedly made peace after trading barbs during the 2024 presidential campaign, sparking speculation that DeSantis could be chosen as Trump's running mate, a new report says that he isn't the only one trekking to Mar-a-Lago to curry favor from the former president.

Donald Trump dozed off in his hush money trial again on Tuesday at a crucial part of the hearing, MSNBC reporters said.

Davidson was involved in the deal to sell their stories about sexual relationships with Trump to the National Enquirer.

Anti-Trump attorney George Conway on Tuesday marveled at the ways former President Donald Trump and his legal team have gummed up the works to turn his hush-money trial into a long slog.

House Democratic Caucus Chair Peter Aguilar (D-CA) refused to "get in the head" of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) after she escalated her threat to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) flipped out after House Democrats announced they would back Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) against her ousting threat.

House Democratic leadership has announced they will block the attempt from some Republicans to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson — an effort spearheaded by right-wing lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“We will vote to table Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Motion to Vacate the Chair. If she invokes the motion, it will not succeed,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Whip Katherine Clark and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar said in a statement, according to Politico.

The appeals court has denied Donald Trump's request to have Justice Juan Merchan recused from the Manhattan hush money trial, Law360's Stewart Bishop reported Tuesday morning.

Trump has also demanded that the trial be paused because he is awaiting a ruling from the Supreme Court on his "presidential immunity" claims. That too was denied.

New York Judge Juan Merchan slapped former President Donald Trump with a $9,000 contempt of court fine on Tuesday for repeatedly violating the gag order in his Manhattan hush money trial to publicly attack witnesses and jurors — and warned him that a stay on Rikers Island could be in his future if he continues on his current path.

This led some commenters on social media to praise the judge — but many others urged him to stop showing so much restraint on Trump, who has already been fined multiple times for similar violations in his civil trials.
