Special counsel Jack Smith warned the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s classified documents case that she is pursuing a legal premise that “is wrong” and said he would probably appeal to a higher court if she rules that a federal records law can protect the former president from prosecution. In a late-night legal filing Tuesday, Smith’s office pushed back hard against ...
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Donald Trump planned his campaign schedule this week to spotlight what he calls “Biden’s border bloodbath” — which he recently labeled “the biggest” issue of the election, even more pressing than the economy. When a reporter shouted a question about abortion at Trump’s event here, the audience drowned it out with boos and yelled “fake news!” ...
If you are presented with the word “Zuckerbucks,” the odds are extremely good that you will have one of two reactions. The first is confusion. You will see the word and either have no idea what it refers to or, perhaps, remember that you have seen it floating around in the context of Donald Trump’s false claims about the 2020 ...

From the outside, being a member of the House of Representatives seems like a uniquely crummy job. Sure, you have some ostensible power, but it doesn’t actually manifest very often for many people, thanks to the chamber’s general antipathy toward consensus.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will probably forever be known as the prosecutor who became the first person to indict a sitting or former U.S. president: Donald Trump. Trump is set to go on trial on April 15 on charges of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. ...
