Harrison Floyd, one of Donald Trump's co-defendants in an election subversion case, apparently avoided violating his bond conditions on Thursday when he attended Rudy Giuliani's defamation trial — though his appearance risked doing so.

Floyd was seen in court on the fourth day of a trial where Giuliani is accused of defaming two Georgia election workers by claiming they rigged the 2020 presidential vote.

Donald Trump is not only maintaining his lead in the polls to be the 2024 Republican Party but is pulling away as no single challenger appears able to make up the difference.

However, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin suggests, there is strength in numbers and an alliance between former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie could be one way to derail the Trump train.

The rapid decision from the Supreme Court to agree to listen to arguments from special counsel Jack Smith that Donald Trump does not have absolute immunity from being charged with crimes that he committed while president is not good news for the former president.

According to one former federal prosecutor, the very fact that the nation's highest court responded so rapidly is a "bad omen" for the four-time indicted ex-president.

At Donald Trump's rally in Iowa on Wednesday night he spent a substantial amount of time trying to allay fears about reports of his mental decline, at one time telling the crowd, "I’ll be the first to know.”

As has been reported after multiple speeches being given by the former president, has seemed at times "disoriented" while addressing crowds, and has confused former President Barack Obama with current President Joe Biden.

The Washington Post and the New York Times have been providing in-depth, detailed reporting on Project 2025, Donald Trump and his allies' game plan for giving the United States' federal government a total MAGA makeover if he wins the 2024 GOP presidential primary and defeats President Joe Biden in the general election.

Project 2025, according to reporting in the Post and the Times, is designed to undermine the country's system of checks and balances and make sure anyone working in the federal government is an unquestioning Trump loyalist. And critics of Project 2025, from liberals and progressives to right-wing Never Trump conservatives, have been attacking it as a recipe for full-fledged authoritarianism.

The New York Young Republican Club recently held its annual gala in New York's financial district, and former President Donald Trump gave the keynote address with some of the global far right's most notorious political figures in attendance.

According to Talking Points Memo (TPM), the gala's attendees included not just American far-right politicians like Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado), Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) and Paul Gosar (R-Arizona), but also European right-wing extremists like Austrian politician Gerald Grosz and European Parliament member Susanna Ceccardi, who is from Italy's far-right Lega party. German politician Maximilian Krah — whose party, Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD) has been criticized as a "neo-Nazi party" — was also at the event.

Rudy Giuliani is currently spending his days in court awaiting to find out how much he will have to pay to two former poll workers in Georgia after being convicted of defaming them and things are about to go from bad to worse for the man once called "America's mayor."

According to Daily Beast reporter Jose Pagliery, the former mayor and Donald Trump lawyer is penniless and, because he can't pay his legal bills among the many other debts he is being sued for, he won't be able to put up much of a defense when his Georgia racketeering trial begins late next year.

Oakland County Circuit Judge Jeffery S. Matis on Wednesday set a March 4 trial date in the case against attorneys Matthew DePerno and Stefanie Lambert Junttila and former state Rep. Daire Rendon (R-Lake City) citing a need to move the case forward.

DePerno, Lambert Junttila and Rendon were each indicted as part of a probe into potential tampering with voting tabulators following the 2020 election where Joe Biden was elected president of the United States over former President Donald Trump.

In response to special counsel Jack Smith's request of the Supreme Court to expedite their decision on whether Donald Trump is immune from prosecution, the former president's lawyers resorted to name calling.

They wrote, "It is as if the Special Counsel 'growled, with his Grinch fingers nervously drumming, 'I must find some way to keep Christmas from coming. … But how?'"
