President Joe Biden may be getting a lot of the bad press from Thursday's debate, but the things Donald Trump said were much worse, a former lawyer argued on Sunday.

Biden has been hit with repeated calls to drop out of the race after failing to adequately respond to Trump at the first presidential debate. That led to many, including the Raw Story editorial board, to call on Biden to drop out.

Christina Bobb, the Republican National Committee worker whose title is senior counsel for election integrity, came out swinging when asked to respond to Jen Psaki's claim on her MSNBC show who called out the notion that President Joe Biden has parted the immigration borders in order to welcome illegal immigrants into the country as a means to "activate them as fraudulent Democratic votes" when the election takes place.

The lawyers tasked with swaying a jury in Donald Trump's favor during the second week of the historic criminal hush money trial in New York City are going down a "hard road."

Former President Donald Trump's efforts to prepare for his New York hush money trial in a few days have hit a humiliating snag, as his attorneys tried to subpoena former D.A. investigator Jeremy Rosenberg — and accidentally brought in a different person with the same name.

Donald Trump on Tuesday said he is interviewing new attorneys to take his appeal of the massive E. Jean Carroll defamation jury verdict.

The former president announced on his own social media site, Truth Social, that he is interviewing new lawyers.

"I am in the process, along with my team, of interviewing various law firms to represent me in an Appeal of one of the most ridiculous and unfair Witch Hunts our Country has ever seen - The defamation Sham presided over by a Clinton appointed, highly partisan, Trump Hating Judge, Lewis Kaplan, who was, together with certain other Radical Left Democrat Judges, one of the most partisan and out of control activists that I have ever appeared before," Trump said....

Donald Trump can't yet be forced to disclose if he plans to rely on a defense that would shift blame to his lawyers, Judge Cannon ruled on Friday.

Special Counsel Jack Smith tried to force the former president to disclose his reliance on the defense, a move legal experts said would force Trump into a trap in which he gives up information that would otherwise be protected by attorney-client privilege.

But Cannon shut down that request, according to Katie Phang, a legal analyst for MSNBC....
