Lev Parnas, who was a central figure in the 2019 Ukraine scandal that led to the impeachment of Donald Trump, is still telling his story — and is now revealing insights into "diplomatic impropriety" that he says is at the heart of current investigations targeting the Biden family.

It's a message Republicans are not eager to promote, The Palm Beach Post reports.

Newly revealed recordings of right-wing attorney Kenneth Chesebro describing the last-minute scramble to block certification of President Joe Biden's election win provides special counsel Jack Smith with powerful new evidence.

The recordings made by Georgia prosecutors and obtained by CNN provide new details into the scheme to get fake elector certificates from two key battleground states to Washington, D.C., just two days before Jan. 6, 2021, and Salon reported on commentary by legal experts explaining the significance of this new evidence.

The Biden camp is pushing an "upbeat narrative" that expects voters will see the threat Donald Trump poses and realize the 2024 election will be a choice between sanity and erraticism. But, according to NBC News' Eamon Javers and Peter Nicholas, there are plenty of "twists" that could upend that strategy.

One possibility is the fact that Biden could end up dropping out of the race. While some people think there's no conceivable way Biden could justify dropping out at this stage, his poll numbers are tanking, his age is taking a toll on his public image, and his son Hunter's legal troubles are mounting, NBC reported.

A federal appeals court has ruled against Donald Trump for a second time this month in a lawsuit filed by police officers over the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The former president had argued that he should be immune from the lawsuit because his conduct should be considered part of his official duties and "constituted speech on matters of public concern."

Donald Trump's own words captured on video helped get him disqualified from the 2024 primary ballot in Maine, according to a legal expert.

That state became the second, after Colorado, to remove the former president from its March 5 primary ballot over his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection using Section 3 of the 14th Amendment — and Secretary of State Shenna Bellows made her decision after viewing video evidence provided by a bipartisan group of state legislators, reported Newsweek.

As part of his plea deal with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, former Donald Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro must come clean about his role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results — including the fake electors scheme.

According to CNN, a newly released batch of leaked recordings shows the extremes that Trump went to in order to get fake Electoral College documents to Washington, D.C. before Congress' certification of the electoral vote count on January 6, 2021 — with Chesebro sharing details including a plot to fly fake ballots to D.C.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade was asked about a decision on Thursday by Maine's secretary of state to bar Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot and how the Supreme Court will react to it.

Speaking with host Willie Geist, McQuade praised Secretary of State Shenna Lee Bellows for her reading of the 14th Amendment and use of testimony from the House select committee on the Jan. 6 riot to arrive at her decision.

Donald Trump has recently revived long-standing comparisons to Adolf Hitler, but a columnist hit him Friday for being more like a "crybaby conqueror" — though his fanatical supporters seem happy to embrace either.

Trumpists tend to call themselves conservative, which has traditionally signaled a belief in limited government and low taxes, but Chicago Sun-Times columnist Gene Lyons noted with horror that MAGA followers had essentially become fundamentalist fanatics.

Donald Trump's legal team has been attempting to stall various legal proceedings against him, but an expert said the former president would be wise to allow one of them to proceed.

The ex-president has been indicted four times on 91 counts and found liable for both fraud and sexual abuse, although his lawyers are working to push trial dates in those criminal cases past the 2024 election. But MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos told "Morning Joe" that Trump would be smart to go ahead and face trial in Manhattan.

Appearing on CNN the morning after the Maine secretary of state booted Donald Trump off of the state's ballot for leading an insurrection on Jan. 6, a former Republican state senator who helped lead the effort applauded her work — and then had a few words to say about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni.

Speaking with CNN's Erika Hill, ex-Sen. Thomas Saviello (R) admitted the Supreme Court will have to ultimately rule on the decisions now made by both Maine and Colorado to cite the Constitution's 14th Amendment and keep the former president off the ballot.

Donald Trump’s biggest Republican foe unleashed an attack on the states that have kicked him off the ballot Friday, hitting them for strengthening the former president's “martyr” message.

Chris Christie was speaking just hours after Maine became the second state to rule that the Constitution’s 14th Amendment made Trump ineligible for public office.

Booting Donald Trump from the primary ballot in two states has left the 2024 election season in a state of “chaos” that the Supreme Court must step in to fix immediately, experts said on CNN Friday.

They were speaking hours after Maine became the second state in the country to rule that the former president wasn’t eligible to stand for public office. Colorado did the same a week before in a decision that has already been appealed.
