A Republican strategist fears the presidential debate rules won't have any real impact on Donald Trump.

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday about the upcoming event on CNN, host Jose Diaz-Balart asked Susan del Percio about CNN's plan to mute microphones to prevent the candidates from shouting over each other.

Former President Donald Trump and his supporters are dramatically overselling the extent to which they have improved their numbers with Black voters, a long solidly Democratic bloc of the electorate, wrote Philip Bump in an analysis for the Washington Post on Monday.

Trump held a campaign stop at a Black church in Detroit, widely touted by MAGA supporters, where the attendees of the event turned out to be almost exclusively white, Bump wrote.

Despite all their political differences, pro-Donald Trump House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and liberal Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) joined forces in May for a bipartisan White House ethics bill.

But the bill, according to The Hill's Rebecca Beitsch, "fell apart" when three Democratic lawmakers withdrew their support for it. Porter believes that three Democratic lawmakers — Reps. Ro Khanna of California, Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois and Kweisi Mfume of Maryland — turned against the bill because of the Biden White House.

Special counsel Jack Smith keeps getting prodded into making "foolish" decisions by Donald Trump's legal team, a former federal prosecutor argued Monday.

Bill Shipley, a former prosecutor who has represented dozens of Jan. 6 defendants, wrote on his "Shipwrecked Crew" blog that Smith kept taking bait set out by Trump attorneys to allow the former president's defenders to spin a media narrative about the Mar-a-Lago documents case, reported Newsweek.

U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon has denied a motion from 24 states that sought to defend former President Donald Trump.

On May 24, special counsel Jack Smith filed a motion asking Cannon to impose a "gag order" after Trump suggested law enforcement agencies that searched his Mar-a-Lago property "were complicit in a plot to assassinate him."

The election fraud brigade forming at the Republican National Committee is going to look pretty silly should President Joe Biden secure a second Election Day victory in November, a political analyst argued Monday.

Washington Post columnist Philip Bump issued a tongue-in-cheek analysis of the RNC's claim that they'll have 100,000 people monitoring poll sites when former President Donald Trump faces off against Biden for the second time.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell claimed in a recent interview that he asked to be arrested for the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, even though he wasn't present at the time.

During a Sunday interview with right-wing broadcaster Mike Gallagher, Lindell recounted how the FBI presented him with a warrant for his phone in 2022 connected to a case about election tampering in Mesa County, Colorado.

Whoopi Goldberg on "The View" mocked "crook" Donald Trump after claims by former top Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway the largely white crowd at a Black church attending Saturday's rally was actually "8000 people at a Black church," which appeared to be disproven by video footage.

This is what Kellyanne Conway says was a turnout of 8,000 for Trump’s event at a Black church. Not even close to 8,000, and not many Black folks. MAGA isn’t a political movement — it’s a con game. https://t.co/y74xvKYUY3

"80% of Detroiters are Black. This crowd was bussed into a city they don’t know to cheer for a felon they don’t know how to live without," observed former longtime journalist Ron Fournier, a Detroit native, in response to video showing an apparently mostly white crowd of several hundred inside Detroit's 180 Church.

The author of a new book on Donald Trump's reality TV show "The Apprentice" is revealing a bizarre debate over whether the ex-president created his own character on the show — or whether it was the creation of producer Mark Burnett.

In an excerpt of "Apprentice in Wonderland" published in the Washington Post Monday, author Ramin Setoodeh describes Trump's obsession with whether he would have run for president if he didn't have his NBC show.

A non-answer about an interview a former high-ranking Donald Trump White House official gave over the weekend saying her former boss proposed executing disloyal leakers in his administration has raised a different kind of alarm.

In an interview over the weekend, former White House communications official Alyssa Farah Griffin stated that her former boss brought up the prospect at more than one meeting,

The brutal murder of a Maryland mother and the subsequent arrest of an undocumented migrant has former President Donald Trump once again raging against "Crooked Joe Biden."

The former President, convict and presumptive nominee took to Truth Social Monday to blame his political opponent for the death of mother-of-five Rachel Morin one day after Victor Martinez-Hernandez, 23, was charged with her murder.

The Justice Department urged an appeals court to deny Steve Bannon's request to stay out of jail while he appealed his contempt for Congress conviction. Bannon, a former advisor to President Donald Trump, is scheduled to report to prison by July 1.

Bannon was convicted for failing to comply with a subpoena issued by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He did not provide documents or testify, claiming Trump had invoked executive privilege.

Donald Trump is still trying to make up his mind on a running mate, but he has narrowed down some of the qualities he's seeking in a potential vice president.

The former president is seeking someone who's strong but loyal, media-savvy and willing to fight for him on television, or, as one ally put it, "everything Mike Pence wasn't," reported The Guardian.
