The hard-right Freedom Caucus has elected a new chairman who has endorsed one of Donald Trump's primary challengers.

Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), the freshly minted chair of the caucus that has long been aligned with the former president, previously endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who had been a member of the group when he was a House member, reported NBC News.

Many defenders of former President Donald Trump have been claiming that the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol Building isn't something that he encouraged or condoned in any way. And far-right conspiracy theorists have falsely blamed everyone from FBI agents to leftist antifa supporters for the attack — with no evidence to support those claims.

But special counsel Jack Smith's office, according to The Guardian's Hugo Lowell, has "indicated" that it is planning to feature three witnesses at Trump's election interference trial "who could potentially show how January 6 rioters moved on the Capitol in response to the former president's tweets."

A federal jury began hearing arguments in Washington on Monday to determine how much former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani should pay for defaming two Georgia election workers.

US District Judge Beryl Howell, in a ruling in August, found Giuliani liable of defaming Fulton County poll workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea Moss with his November 2020 election lies.

The move by special counsel Jack Smith to quickly move up the ladder and ask the Supreme Court to rule on Donald Truimp's claim of presidential immunity in the Washington D.C. court case was praised by one former federal prosecutor who pointed out that Smith brought in an expert to press the case.

On Monday the court agreed to expedite the case, thereby skipping the Court of Appeals, leading to the prospect that could keep the trial on track for a March start date.

Writing on her Substack platform, ex-U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance wrote the move by Smith is unprecedented if for no other reason it involves a former president of the United States.

Vance then argues that the special counsel, "is asking them to tell Trump that immunity (and double jeopardy, an argument with even less merit than immunity) is off the table so the case can proceed to trial."

Mainers are challenging former President Donald Trump’s primary election eligibility.

Two challenges filed with the state claim Trump action’s in relation to the Jan. 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol bar him from taking office again. One challenge takes an alternate approach: Since Trump maintains he won re-election in 2020, he is ineligible to seek a third term as president.

Former President Donald Trump's White House communications director complimented special counsel Jack Smith Monday after the federal prosecutor managed to get the Supreme Court to agree to expedite the process of determining Trump's immunity.

Anthony Scaramucci — who lasted as Trump's communications director for only 10 days — was talking with CNN's Kaitlan Collins.

"Businesses are fleeing our country," is what ex-President Donald Trump said during a New York Republican event Saturday, according to The Messenger.

"It's business-unfriendly and they're going to other places," Trump insisted.
