A New York Times columnist hit back at President Donald Trump's assertions that violent rhetoric from left-wing political groups contributed to the attempt on his life during the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday in a fiery piece.

Jamelle Bouie argued in a new opinion piece on Wednesday that Trump is nowhere near as concerned about the impact of his own language as he claims to be about the language others use about him. He cited Trump's recent comments about a social media video created by six Democrats that Trump described as "seditious," and called the lawmakers "traitors."

A prominent legal scholar warned on Wednesday that the Supreme Court just made reforming the institution an "unavoidable" part of future political administrations.

Richard Hasen, a law professor at UCLA, argued in a new op-ed for Slate that the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais "will go down in history as one of the most pernicious and damaging Supreme Court decisions of the last century." The case gutted "what remained" of the Voting Rights Act's protections for voters of color. Hasen said the decision will not only increase racial gerrymandering, but also strip millions of voters of "rudimentary fair representation" at all levels of government.

A political analyst flagged a startling possibility as reports indicate the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner may not have happened as it seemed.

On Saturday, reports indicated that a lone alleged gunman, Cole Allen, rushed through security at the Washington Hilton and fired multiple rounds, striking one Secret Service agent, before being apprehended by law enforcement. The rounds allegedly were fired multiple floors below where the press, President Donald Trump, and members of Trump's cabinet were located.

Political commentator Piers Morgan cooked up a devastating montage of President Donald Trump's violent rhetoric that he played on Wednesday during a fiery takedown of a MAGA pundit's talking point.

Morgan had MAGA commentator Clay Travis, conservative radio host Ben Ferguson, Democratic strategist Mike Nellis, and liberal YouTuber Cenk Uygur on a new episode of his show, "Piers Morgan Uncensored." During the panel segment, Travis and Ferguson both claimed that the violent rhetoric espoused by Democrats had inspired the alleged shooter at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, 92, (R-IA), befuddled his colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday when he was caught on a hot mic questioning some of the answers that witnesses were giving.

The committee met to question several of President Donald Trump's judicial nominees, and some Democrats asked the nominees who won the 2020 general election. There have been multiple hearings where Democrats have asked Trump judicial nominees the same question, and they have refused to say outright that former President Joe Biden won the election.

A series of leaks that made it into the newspapers on Wednesday about how President Donald Trump talks about himself behind closed doors alarmed a pair of political analysts.

Nico Hines, host of "The Daily Beast Podcast," discussed a new report from The Atlantic detailing how Trump considers himself among history's greatest men, in the same ranks as figures like Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar. Hines noted that Trump has spoken highly of himself in the past, but the remarks captured in the report, which cites "a senior administration official and a longtime Trump confidant," show that his grandiose self-view has reached a new level.

President Donald Trump stunned political analysts and observers during a press gaggle in the Oval Office on Wednesday after he was asked about a recent indictment secured by his Department of Justice.

On Tuesday, the DOJ indicted former FBI Director James Comey on two felony counts of threatening Trump's life and interstate communication violations. The charges stem from a picture Comey posted on his Instagram account of seashells arranged to read "86 47," a term that some conservatives have construed to mean that Comey was advocating for Trump's death.
