President Donald Trump appears to be on a warpath to free one of his convicted allies, but the arguments the administration has put forward in court read like the rantings of a madman, according to one legal expert.

Trump has been trying to free Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk who was convicted of seven state crimes related to her granting Trump allies unauthorized access to her county's voting machines, for more than a month. Peters is currently serving a nine-year sentence for her crimes.

A top Republican in Minnesota recently admitted to "steering" the viral fraud video that sparked recent controversy about the state's social programs.

Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth said during the weekly Republican legislative press conference that the party told right-wing YouTuber Nick Shirley which child care centers he should visit. Each of the centers received federal money and recently had "operations or payments suspended," according to a report by MN Public Radio.

MAGA fans melted down on Wednesday after reports indicated that Mayor Zohran Mamdani's inauguration in New York City would include a historic element.

The New York Post reported on Wednesday that Mamdani will be sworn in on a Quran during the oath of office ceremony, marking the first time an incoming mayor has used the religious text for the ceremony. Mamdani is a practicing Muslim and will be the city's first Asian American mayor.

President Donald Trump is desperately trying to quell public anxiety about the cost-of-living crisis as he faces similar inflation woes that former President Joe Biden did through his term — but one former Republican official is warning that his energy policy is only making it worse.

According to NOTUS, "Increases in residential electricity prices were as high as 25% in some parts of the country over the last three years, in large part due to increased demands from data centers and investments in upgrading the aging electric grid. Democrats on the campaign trail this fall seized on these price increases with success. Voters even ousted Republicans from Georgia’s utility board, a surprise upset in a little-watched local election."

Fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement erupted on Wednesday over a report that a deep blue city is moving forward with a plan to provide reparations for African Americans.

The Daily Mail UK reported on Wednesday that San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie "quietly signed" a bill two days before Christmas to create a "Reparations Fund." The bill does not allocate any funding, and it is yet to be determined whether the funds will come from local taxes or private donations, according to the report.

Hollywood power couple George and Amal Clooney have officially ditched America for sunny France, and President Donald Trump did not hold back on New Year's Eve after learning of the news.

"Good News!" Trump declared on his Truth Social platform, calling the A-list duo "two of the worst political prognosticators of all time." He derided the Clooneys' new home country as reeling from a crime crisis fueled by immigration mismanagement, which he compared to policies under the Biden administration.

Former special counsel Jack Smith told members of Congress in his testimony that he believed, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that President Donald Trump's angry tweet on Jan. 6, 2021, at 2:24 p.m., further put former Vice President Mike Pence's life in danger.

Smith was in charge of the federal criminal cases against Trump, including for the conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, but his office was shut down after Trump was re-elected last year.

President Donald Trump's administration was forced to retreat from a lawsuit seeking to wrest control of the California National Guard from Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, according to a new report.

The Department of Justice said in a brief filed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday that the agency is withdrawing its request to federalize the California National Guard to protect immigration agents from protesters during raids, The Los Angeles Times reported. The outlet added that the move complicates the administration's path forward, considering that the Supreme Court cast doubt on Trump's legal theory for federalizing troops in Illinois.

President Donald Trump appeared to be trying to save face as he caved to a Supreme Court decision that prevented him from using the military for policing in U.S. cities.

"We are removing the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, despite the fact that CRIME has been greatly reduced by having these great Patriots in those cities," Trump announced in a Truth Social message on New Year's Eve. "Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago were GONE if it weren't for the Federal Government stepping in."

Fresh bruising on Donald Trump's left hand rekindled speculation about the 79-year-old president's health just shy of a year into his second term.

Trump appeared at multiple events last week sporting discoloration on the back of his left hand — adding to the persistent bruise already visible on his right hand for months, CNN reported Wednesday.

President Donald Trump spent his New Year's Eve lashing out at Democrats and vowing not to extend health care subsidies.

"Republicans: No more money to Fat Cat Insurance Companies. The money must go directly to the people to buy their own Healthcare," the president told fellow Republicans in one post on Truth Social.

House Republicans finally released on Wednesday the long-awaited transcript of former special counsel Jack Smith's deposition before the House Judiciary Committee.

The 255-page document was released on New Year's Eve, a time some experts deemed suspicious. The Trump administration is currently trying to distance itself from the recently released files from the FBI's investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, which painted President Donald Trump's relationship with Epstein in an unscrupulous light. Trump is also facing considerable pressure to release more files.
