Federal prosecutors are asking for six months of prison for Capitol protester Ray Epps, who was the subject of conspiracy theories after the U.S. Capitol attacks of Jan. 6, 2021.

In a 29-page sentencing memo this week, prosecutors recommended prison for Epps' role in urging rioters to go into the U.S. Capitol.

Former President Donald Trump already knows he's not going to get the Supreme Court to absolve him of the factual finding he participated in an insurrection, said former federal prosecutor Elie Honig on CNN Wednesday — but he has ways to get his name back on ballots in Colorado and Maine.

"If we're talking about the Fourteenth Amendment, what Donald Trump does in his brief that he submitted yesterday challenging the disqualification is he gives himself a lot of different ways to win," said Honig.

A majority of Trump supporters want Ron DeSantis to be Vice President if their guy gets back into the White House, according to a USA Today study. The paper also said there was more chance of snow in July.

"Sorry, folks," the reporter wrote. "That's almost certainly not going to happen, given the fractured relations between the two after DeSantis emerged for a time as the most likely alternative to Trump.

To hear it from conservative columnist George Will in The Washington Post, there's already an authoritarian in the White House.

Will argued President Joe Biden is already using tactics many fear Trump will bring with him if he wins the presidential election. He lists actions he said were unconstitutional — student loan forgiveness and the vaccine mandate among them.

Donald Trump will have a very complicated schedule in 2024, dealing with a barrage of legal problems while running a presidential campaign.

In addition to four criminal indictments, the former president is facing a variety of civil lawsuits. Regardless, poll after poll is showing that he is on track to win the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.

Donald Trump’s top operatives are desperately trying to keep him out of the public eye in an effort to hide the “chaos and the crazy” from voters, a former aide said Wednesday.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served as communications director in the former president’s White House, told CNN there are two “sophisticated” people on Trump’s staff who are trying to steer him away from the limelight.

Donald Trump might be praising the Supreme Court’s refusal of special counsel Jack Smith’s plea for an expedited hearing on the former president’s immunity claim, but he might be celebrating too soon.

Watergate prosecutor Nick Ackerman warned Wednesday that what Trump considers good news is going to blow up in his face.

The plaintiffs who persuaded a majority of the Colorado Supreme Court to block former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot under a Civil War-era insurrection clause urged the U.S. Supreme Court to promptly weigh in on the case in a new filing.

The 33-page brief from the attorneys representing six Colorado Republican and unaffiliated voters was filed with the nation’s highest court on Tuesday. It followed the Colorado Republican Party’s petition last week for a so-called writ of certiorari, a formal order the Supreme Court issues when it agrees to review a case.

Out of all of Trump's legal "Hail Marys," the notion that he can't be tried criminally after being absolved through impeachment could be dead on arrival.

Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance, appearing on MSNBC's "The Last Word" with Lawrence O'Donnell, called it a "stone-cold loser."
