New details about President Donald Trump's efforts to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey stunned a CNN panel on Wednesday.

Katelyn Polantz, CNN's senior legal correspondent, reported during "The Arena" on Wednesday that Trump prosecutors sought testimony from mobster Sammy "The Bull" Gravano about whether the now-infamous "86 47" picture that Comey posted on his Instagram could be a threat against the president's life. Gravano told prosecutors that the term 86 "could" refer to killing, but demurred on whether it actually did mean it in the context of the Comey case, Polantz reported.

A pair of CNN anchors issued a brutal fact-check to President Donald Trump on Wednesday over his claims that more people died from COVID-19 under the Biden administration than in his first term.

Trump has repeatedly blamed the Biden administration for the number of deaths that were caused by the pandemic, although political analysts and experts have pointed out that Trump was one of the leading proponents of misinformation about the virus.

President Donald Trump has spent years insisting that immigrant communities are “taking our jobs” and that expelling migrants via the mass deportation campaign he’s imposed on cities and towns across the country would swiftly result in an employment boom—but a new study reveals how aggressive raids by federal agents are resulting in a decline in employment for US-born citizens as well as their immigrant neighbors and coworkers.

A study authored by Elizabeth Cox and Chloe East and published by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that while Trump’s sweeping raids and arrests of hundreds of thousands of people have pushed those who have been deported out of their jobs, and “immigrants who remain in the US are working less due to chilling effects,” those changes have done nothing to stimulate job growth among US citizens.

Republicans on Capitol Hill are scrambling to save an embattled cybersecurity agency after they voted to gut it to appease President Donald Trump, according to a new report.

Politico reported on Wednesday that Republicans have changed their tune on the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency after an unreleased OpenAI model attacked another company and roamed free on the internet for four days. The move comes at a time when the Trump administration is ramping up its rhetoric about elections and is attempting to make some wholesale revisions to how American elections are conducted ahead of the midterms.

Scandal-plagued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is turning into the child nobody wants with two major campaign funders waiting for the other to step into the breach.

The Republican Party's top spending committees are locked in a "high-stakes game of chicken" over Paxton's floundering Senate campaign—each hoping the other will kick in tens of millions needed to save his sinking candidacy.

President Donald Trump appeared to endorse a theory that Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett – whom he nominated in 2020 – is "clearly terrified of the left," sharing a prominent right-wing figure's post about her voting record on social media Wednesday.

Conservative podcaster Tim Pool wrote that "Amy Coney Barrett is clearly terrified of the left" in response to a viral post on X highlighting her voting record and a supposed drop-off in her alignment with the bench's other conservative justices. Trump shared Pool’s post on his social media platform Truth Social without additional commentary.
