U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon, a Donald Trump appointee, will likely rule against one of the former president's requests, a court watcher predicted.

Lawfare correspondent Anna Bower reported her conclusion following a hearing in Florida on Tuesday.

Former President Donald Trump and his control over the Republican Party face a new potential threat, writes Amanda Marcotte for Salon: a MAGA movement at war with itself, and, in some cases, even at war with Trump for not being extreme enough.

One of the most recent developments of this, she wrote, is the We the People AZ Alliance, an Arizona-based group tied to right-wing Senate candidate Kari Lake and funded by Patrick Byrne, the conspiracy theorist former CEO of Overstock.

For the past few months, former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen has been protected from the former president's ire by a gag order put in place by the judge in the hush money case.

That ended on Tuesday.

Steve Bannon, the 2016 Trump campaign strategist who sports multiple popped collars and was told by the former president he needed to shower more, isn't afraid of prison because he has no social life.

That's what Bannon told Time Magazine's Eric Cortellessa in an interview published Tuesday afternoon about the War Room podcaster's scheduled four-month visit to federal prison slated to start July 1.

The ongoing delay in former President Donald Trump's classified documents case has outraged critics who say Judge Aileen Cannon is tipping the scales in favor of the man who appointed her, but one legal expert Tuesday made a case for a surprising benefactor: special counsel Jack Smith.

Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance pointed to reports of Trump's 2020 Mar-a-Lago trip, "kept quiet" by aides, that has raised suspicions among Smith's team of prosecutors conducting a probe.

Fox News legal pundit Jonathan Turley complained after news broke Tuesday that Donald Trump's gag order had been partially lifted in his New York hush-money case.

Host Sandra Smith immediately brought in Turley to comment after Justice Juan Merchan allowed Trump to talk about witnesses and the jury. However, Turley focused on the people Trump was not allowed to attack.

The 2022 midterms turned out to be much better for Democrats than expected, with Democratic candidates enjoying victories in key swing states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona and Wisconsin.

But Florida was so bad for Democrats that year that many Democratic strategists concluded it was no longer a swing state and had gone deep red.

The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial loosened his gag order Tuesday, according to a new report.

Justice Juan Merchan's new ruling allows Trump to publicly discuss witnesses in the historic New York City trial that concluded with the first ever criminal conviction of a former U.S. president, according to Reuters.

Republican megadonor Miriam Adelson, the wife of the late right-winger Sheldon Adelson, has given former President Donald Trump a whopping sum of money even as he has apparently blown off her request that he tone down his rhetoric.

The New York Times reports that Adelson earlier this year asked Trump to be "less bombastic" and then pledged to generously fund his campaign once the Republican primary ended.

Americans found themselves playing a strange game of Where's Waldo Tuesday after shocking new photos revealed former President Donald Trump stored classified documents in haphazard containers strewn across the floor of his Florida social club.

Special Counsel Jack Smith shared the photos in his rebuttal Tuesday to Trump's dismissal motion, arguing Mar-a-Lago was just too messy for federal agents to preserve the pristine order Trump claims is critical to his case.

Anti-bullying activist Monica Lewinsky called for federal Judge Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over former President Donald Trump's classified documents case, to be impeached. But what's the process for that?

"i [sic] awakened angry about the documents case in florida [sic]. it [sic] is INSANE that it hasn’t moved forward to trial, and i hope judge cannon [sic] is impeached. IF the documents had been declassified (which they weren’t) then all trump [sic] had to do was xerox them and return originals that were being asked for and explain they were declassified (again, for those in back, which they weren’t). IF it had been an honest (ahem) mistake to take them… just return them — LIKE EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT WHO WAS FOUND TO HAVE CLASSIFIED MATERIALS IN THEIR PRIVATE POSSESSION. (which still would have warranted an investigation but maybe not resulted in a trial.) the danger and damage done by this judge is mind-numbing," Lewinsky posted to X Tuesday morning.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) predicted former President Donald Trump would "do great" when he debates President Joe Biden this week.

In a Tuesday post on the social media platform X, Greene claimed CNN moderators Dana Bash and Jake Tapper were biased.

A conservative influencer has told Judge Aileen Cannon that special counsel Jack Smith's requested gag order is unconstitutional because he has yet to interview Donald Trump, court records show.

Good Lawgic host Joseph Nierman filed Tuesday an amicus brief in the former president's federal classified documents case arguing Smith's demand violates the rights of his thousands of listeners.
