Donald Trump has already given New York Justice Juan Merchan ample reason to sentence him to prison for falsifying business records, a columnist wrote Tuesday.

Each of the 34 counts he's been convicted of carries a maximum four-year sentence, although they would run concurrently. Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin argued that many convictions for Class E felonies do result in prison time — and she said Trump's "conduct and character" should be enough to put him behind bars in this case.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) demanded that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) shut down the federal government until the state of New York overturns former President Donald Trump's conviction.

During a Tuesday interview with convicted criminal Steve Bannon, Greene claimed Johnson wasn't doing enough to fight for Trump.

Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley made a startling admission on Newsmax, sharing that the GOP is preparing for the possibility former President Donald Trump might have to give his nomination speech to the national convention from prison.

"We're working on that now," said Whatley, when asked by the host whether there were any plans for Trump being in prison during the convention. "I'm actually going up to Milwaukee this week and we're going to have a series of conversations."

Former President Donald Trump's felony conviction in New York has set off a flurry of speculation from political pundits and observers about what, if any, effect it will have on the electorate.

According to new interviews in a focus group conducted by GOP strategist Frank Luntz for The New York Times, at least some undecided voters are paying attention.

Kenneth Chesebro, the architect of the fake elector's plot deployed by Donald Trump's campaign in an effort to overturn the 2020 election, has been indicted by the state of Wisconsin.

Chesebro joins James Troupis and Michael Roman in the indictment released Tuesday.

Fox Business aired an attack on judges who could be selected to hear an appeal of Donald Trump's 34 felony convictions in New York.

In a Tuesday segment, Fox News correspondent Eric Shawn told Fox Business host Stuart Varney that Trump's quest to overturn his convictions would be an "uphill struggle" because the New York appeals court was "dominated by Democrats."

The language sounds like something from an authoritarian state or the US anti-communist purges of the 1950s, but Donald Trump is increasingly focused on one target: "the enemy within."

The 77-year-old Republican has stepped up his rhetoric against a host of domestic opponents in recent months, and looks set to go even further after his historic conviction in a criminal trial that he claims -- without evidence -- was orchestrated by his political rival, President Joe Biden.

US President Joe Biden is expected to announce steps Tuesday to close the Mexican border to asylum seekers when numbers surge, in a bid to tackle a key weak spot in his election battle with Donald Trump.

Biden, 81, is set to sign a long-awaited executive order that would allow officials at certain times to deport migrants who cross the border illegally without processing their asylum claims first, US media reported.

Jon Stewart lashed out Monday against former President Donald Trump and Republicans who say his criminal conviction was the product of a rigged trial.

Stewart appeared on the Daily Show Monday just days after a historic jury ruling saw former President Donald Trump convicted on felony charges of falsifying business records.

A House Oversight meeting that saw Dr. Anthony Fauci sparring with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene unspooled in disarray the doctor believes is going to spawn death threats against him.

“You’re not a doctor, you’re Mr. Fauci in my few minutes” Greene declared. She also said he should be “in prison” for “crimes against humanity."

Rep. Elise Stefanik's attack on the New York civil court judge who held former President Donald Trump liable for over $450 million seems to have died with a whimper, according to a new report.

Justice Arthur F. Engoron and law clerk Allison Greenfield were both cleared by a state commission of allegations that they exhibited "inappropriate bias and judicial intemperance," according to a new report from the Daily Beast.

A prison-bound Donald Trump is living rent-free in Fox News host Jesse Watters's head. And in the vision — the former president is shredded.

"Democrats think locking up Trump locks up America First," Watters quipped with a daring tone. "But it doesn't. Makes it stronger. You ever see the prison bodies on inmates?"

Former President Donald Trump is going to unravel as his sentencing date for his 34 felony convictions approaches, his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen told MSNBC's Joy Reid on Monday — because he is much more terrified of a potential prison sentence than he is actually letting on.

Judge Juan Merchan has the ability to order prison time in the case, and Manhattan prosecutors have not ruled out pursuing this, although it's also possible he could end up sentenced to probation and fines instead.
