Donald Trump said he wants to grant green cards to foreign graduates from US colleges, in an apparent softening of his typically hard-line view on immigration, a key election issue.

The Republican candidate made the remarks in a podcast published Thursday, days after President Joe Biden announced a citizenship pathway for immigrants married to US nationals, counterbalancing his recent crackdown on illegal border crossings.

On Friday morning, the entire panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" expressed dismay at an anecdote in an upcoming book from Puerto Rico's former governor that Donald Trump glibly talked about using nukes during a conversation in 2017.

In Ricardo Rosselló's book The Reformer’s Dilemma, the former governor described "surveying damage done to the island after Hurricane Maria with the former president when Trump commented, 'But I tell you what … If nuclear war happens, we won’t be second in line pressing the button.'"

Donald Trump gave the Ten Commandments a nickname in an overnight post celebrating a Louisiana law that requires poster-sized displays of the religious symbol in public school classrooms.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee, who was found guilty by a jury last month of falsifying business records to cover up other crimes that also seemingly violate two of the biblical commandments, hailed the law and suggested it should be emulated elsewhere.

When Donald Trump's lawyers appear before Judge Aileen Cannon in a sealed hearing next Tuesday, they will reportedly make a "sweeping request" to have the judge toss out a wide swath of evidence special counsel Jack Smith is prepared to use when the Mar-a-Lago stolen documents case finally goes to trial.

According to a report from the Guardian's Hugo Lowell, insiders revealed the Trump legal team will ask Cannon to "revoke prosecutors’ access to memos made by his ex-lawyer" that are central to the stolen document case as they reveal the former president's attempt to hide the crime.

Someone close to the Palm Beach court where Judge Aileen Cannon is presiding over Donald Trump's classified documents trial has leaked key details about the judge.

According to a New York Times report, the chief judge suggested that Cannon pass off the case to another judge, given she already had a controversial ruling overturned by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals with a heavy rebuke of her actions. Cannon refused.

Former President Donald Trump moved for New York Justice Arthur Engoron to recuse himself on Thursday after claims the judge took advice from somebody not involved in the case.

NBC New York reported that Trump's attorneys filed a 24-page motion asking Engoron to step down from the case because a man claiming to be a whistleblower said he gave the judge his unsolicited opinion about it.

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday defended his plans to slap massive tariffs on all imported goods, and he attacked the notion that such a move would plunge the United States into an economic recession.

To bolster his case, Trump cited two historic examples of American tariff policy that he claimed showed success.

Legal experts were left shocked Thursday after a New York Times report revealed that Judge Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over Donald Trump's classified documents case, was told by other judges that she should pass the case off to a more experienced jurist.

Among those advising Cannon was the chief judge of Cannon's court. Cannon declined.

In recordings that are at the center of a $10 million sexual harassment suit filed against Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, describes having an affair with a longtime employee who is married and suggested that they could eventually get married, and her then ex-husband could live with them.

According to a report from Newsweek, in the recording that is part of the lawsuit filed by former employee Noelle Dunphy, Giuliani admitted to her that he had an "affair" with Maria Ryan, president of Giuliani Communications and the co-host on his "Uncovering the Truth" radio show and podcast.

Judge Aileen Cannon brushed aside recommendations to hand off Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago classified documents case to a more experienced judge when the assignment first landed in her lap.

Two more experience colleagues on the federal bench in Florida, including Cecilia M. Altonaga — the chief judge in the Southern District of Florida — urged Cannon to pass on the complicated, high-profile case to another jurist, according to two sources briefed on the discussions who spoke to the New York Times.

Donald Trump continued raging Thursday afternoon over a new Fox News poll showing him falling behind president Joe Biden for the first time since last year.

The president moved into the lead for the first time since October in a hypothetical matchup with the presumptive Republican nominee, who spent much of the morning attacking the conservative media organization that conducted the poll, which showed Biden up 50-48 in a head-to-head race.

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who is not endorsing Donald Trump, is spending $10 million in an effort to preserve the Trump tax cuts that largely benefitted ultra-wealthy millionaires and billionaires, which will help his ex-boss's re-election efforts.

Advancing American Freedom, Pence's political advocacy group, "is launching a $10 million campaign to push for an extension of the Trump-era tax cuts, which are set to expire next year and will likely play a key role in the 2024 election," according to The Hill.
