A conservative attorney is lobbying for new legislation to rename a Florida federal prison after former President Donald Trump, urging Americans to call their local representatives and express their support.

George Conway took to social media Friday to heap praise on a new proposal from House Democrats Gerry Connolly (D-VA) and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) to rename Federal Correction Institution, Miami after the former president.

While some of Donald Trump's gold high-top sneakers may go for $200 a pair, the former president is now hawking others for $2.5 million, according to a new report.

People who raise a hefty $2.5 million for the presumptive Republican nominee will receive a pair of "personalized" high-top sneakers, said an NBC News report released Friday. Trump boasts that they are called "Never Surrender" sneakers.

Former Fox News host-turned podcaster Megyn Kelly said that she's not expecting Donald Trump to return to her show anytime soon after the two had a contentious interview.

Kelly told Newsmax’s Eric Bolling this Thursday that she had Trump on in September "and I don’t know that he loved that interview," the New York Post reports.

Melania Trump will attend a fundraiser for the pro-LGBT group the Log Cabin Republicans at Mar-a-Lago later this month, according to a report.

Politico revealed Thursday that the former first lady, known for supporting LGBTQ rights, will help raise money for a group that was banned from the Texas Republican Party.

Some House Democrats proved willing this week to honor former President Donald Trump's legacy with the official dedication of a government building in his name: a Florida federal prison.

Reps. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) on Friday will introduce legislation to rename Federal Correctional Institution, Miami — where Trump's former adviser Peter Navarro is currently incarcerated — as the Donald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution, according to CBS News' congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane.

According to CNN legal analyst Elie Honig, the pool of potential jurors who will sit in judgment during Donald Trump's hush money trial will not be to his liking when the court finally convenes.

Now that New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan has dispensed with all of the former president's lawyers' filings to delay the trial — or toss out the charges filed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg — jury selection is expected to begin on April 15.

Top Lawfare editor Roger Parloff doesn't buy the argument that special counsel Jack Smith can have Judge Aileen Cannon removed using the legal tactic called "mandamus."

Several legal experts argued that Cannon's refusal to rule on several motions violated her duty as a judge. When Cannon ruled over the Presidential Records Act (P.R.A.) on Thursday, she said that, for now, she is dismissing Trump's defense before the trial. She said that she reserves the right to bring it back up during the trial.

One week into trading on Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. stock led the panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to warn long-term investors they need to avoid the company at all costs because there is no evidence it will ever be successful.

Appearing with co-host Joe Scarborough, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle, who came to broadcasting after a successful career on Wall Street, agreed with American businessman Barry Diller who trashed the company during an appearance on CNBC on Thursday.

Appearing on "Squawk Box," Diller told the host, "I mean, it’s ridiculous. The company has no revenue.”

“It’s a scam, just like everything he’s [Trump] ever been involved in is some sort of con," the founder of Fox Broadcasting Company continued.

First stating she wished the clip would be shown again on MSNBC, Ruhle stated, "When we're talking about the truth, nobody likes to go on TV and drop a truth-bomb like Barry Diller does. I called Truth Social a fakakta company, whatever word you want."

"This company is absolutely not worth where it's at on paper," she added. "What's happened in the last 24 hours is Donald Trump is now pumping it up on his platform — earlier this week it was funny because he wasn't. His entire universe is talking up his game. Now that he has a public company, he could get himself entangled in huge problems with the SEC."

"It's going to be interesting to see how he plays this," she later added, "I would make one other point: it shows how clever this is. He's not on the board of the company. [JPMorgan Chase CEO] Jamie Dimon cannot come out and pump up his company because they'll come for him. But Donald Trump, who owns 60 percent of the company and is suing his cofounders, is not an officer of the company. He may have found a loophole where he gets all of the upside and none of the downside, a true Trump special."

MSNBC regular Donny Deutsch jumped in to add, "Let me give you one simple reality: advertisers will never advertise on there. There's a reason Fox let Tucker Carlson go. No matter how big their numbers are, they can't get advertisers."

"You will not have advertisers on Truth Social," he reiterated. "Maybe you'll have gold bouillon or eagle statues and pillows and whatnot. Be clear if you're investing in this company, there's no chance this will ever be successful from a revenue point of view."
