Ex-White House staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin explained what she claims is the real reason so many Republicans won't leave Donald Trump despite his losing track record — they're making money.

A former deputy press secretary in President Donald Trump's administration is speaking out against her former boss and what she says was his role in sparking the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

A group of Christian nationalists who believe that their religious faith should have dominion over the American government spent time partying at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort as they openly fantasized of returning to power and crushing their foes, according to a report.

An online activist group is trying to bring down Donald Trump's Truth Social network from the inside before the 2024 election, according to a report.

The North Atlantic Fella Organization, which was founded last year to battle pro-Russia propaganda related to the invasion of Ukraine, launched a campaign last month to dominate trending topics on the website. It has proven to be so successful they believe they can take down Truth Social entirely, reported WIRED.

Writer E. Jean Carroll has asked a federal judge to rule Donald Trump cannot claim he did not sexually assault her in an upcoming defamation trial.

Ken Chesebro, the pro-Trump lawyer who has pleaded guilty to a felony charge of conspiring to commit filing false documents in regards to the Georgia racketeering case against Donald Trump and his co-defendants, has asked a judge to loosen his probation restrictions so he can travel to visit attorneys, Law&Crime reported.

In a brief filed to Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee, Chesebro said he needs to travel to Nevada, Arizona and the District of Columbia to “meet with counsel, etc.” since “there are investigations of the ‘election fraud’ cases ongoing.”

A judge's decision not to keep Donald Trump off the 2024 ballot in Colorado despite ruling that he was an insurrectionist is being appealed.

Last week, a Colorado court made a factual finding that Trump was an insurrectionist, but ruled that he still belongs on the ballot. The lawsuit that tried to get him removed, launched by a collection of Republican and unaffiliated voters, argued that Trump's activities on Jan. 6 fly in the face of the 14th Amendment in the U.S. Constitution, and a similar law in Colorado, that bars people from holding public office if they are insurrectionists.

Many Never Trump conservatives have been arguing that if former President Donald Trump returns to the White House and successfully carries out his authoritarian agenda, it will be terrible from a capitalist standpoint.

Former President Donald Trump's second term plans have little motivation beyond getting revenge on all the people he believes have wronged him, ABC News' Jonathan Karl warned on CNN Tuesday morning.

Former President Donald Trump's lawyer seems to think only the broadest reading of First Amendment matters above all other laws when it comes to instituting gag orders against his client.

Former Acting U.S. Solicitor General Neal Katyal, in an appearance on MSNBC's "The Last Word" with Lawrence O'Donnell, laid into the lawyer representing the GOP frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race on his performance that seemed to argue that the First Amendment blocked the government from imposing any restrictions on a criminal defendant ahead of their trial.
