The attorney for Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign who was a leading architect of the plan to organize fake presidential electors in Arizona and other battleground states that the twice-impeached president lost is set to meet with prosecutors in the Grand Canyon State on Monday.

Attorney General Kris Mayes earlier this year launched an investigation into the 11 Arizona Republicans who falsely claimed to be the electors, even though the election was certified showing Joe Biden won by about 10,000 votes.

There is a method to the madness behind former President Donald Trump's antics around his impending criminal trials, argued Salon writer Gregg Barak on Friday — it's his innate confidence man skills at play.

"Trump’s unique ability to acquire power, even after losing the 2020 presidential election and his failed coup two months later, came from his perseverance and expertise as a huckster and conman, along with his uncanny ability over decades to double down on corruption, lawlessness, and deception," wrote Barak.

During a townhall event with Fox News' Sean Hannity on Tuesday, former President Donald Trump remarked that during a second term, he would not be a dictator "other than Day One."

Trump told Hannity, "I want to close the border, and I want to drill, drill, drill. Other than that, I am not a dictator."

Donald Trump's defense lawyers have made their fourth unsuccessful attempt to end his New York business fraud trail, ABC News reported.

Attorneys argued following testimony from defense witness and accounting expert Eli Bartov, who said the case against Trump lacks merit because the former president's statements of financial condition don't contain any evidence of fraud. He also contended that errors found regarding the values of Trump's properties were likely unintentional.

Donald Trump paid an expert witness for his defense substantially more than had been previously indicated.

New York University accounting professor Eli Bartov testified Thursday that he did not believe the former president had committed fraud when filing financial disclosures with applications for bank loans. On cross-examination Friday, Bartov testified that he was paid $1,350 an hour for his testimony, and he worked a total of 650 hours on the case, reported The Messenger.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY ) is being showered with praise from both sides of the aisle after she grilled the presidents of Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania and MIT over school policies about hate speech on their respective campuses — specifically related to calls for genocide aimed at Jewish students.

Video of the exchanges where the New York Republican demanded answers from new Harvard President Claudine Gay and Penn President Elizabeth Magill went viral, in no small part because Stefanik repeatedly posted the clips on her social media accounts. They have led to near-universal praise from Republicans and Democrats, including newly elected Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) who called out Magill saying her vague answers showed a “failure of leadership.”

According to the New York Times, the Harvard-educated Stefanik already has what can be generously described as a "fraught" relationship with her alma mater due to her support of Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection and her defense of him, as a member of the House Republican leadership, during his two impeachments. That in turn led the university to cut ties with her.

The District of Columbia court clerk set a deadline for later this month for filing key paperwork in Donald Trump's effort to halt his prosecution.

Judge Tanya Chutkan denied his motion to dismiss charges filed against him by special counsel Jack Smith, and the court clerk then set a Dec. 26 deadline for his attorneys to file forms needed for him to appeal that ruling.

As part of a deep dive into what to expect in the 2024 presidential election, one noted Democratic strategist claimed the outcome between presumptive nominees Donald Trump and President Joe Biden could hinge on just 400,000 voters.

According to the report from the Washington Post, the continued use of the Electoral College means that the few remaining swing states will have an outsized impact on the results of a national election.

Donald Trump's allies are developing new methods to potentially steal the 2024 election after removing a safeguard in several Republican-led states, according to a report.

Nine GOP-led states have withdrawn from the Electronic Registration Information Center, or ERIC, after Trump allies targeted the multi-state database with conspiracy theories, and prominent election denier Cleta Mitchell has played a central role in persuading them to move away from that bipartisan security effort and instead use an open-source EagleAI software, reported Rolling Stone.
