Bannon attorney David Schoen told Judge Juan Merchan that "irreconcilable differences have arisen" on Bannon's defense team.

"The question is,...

The finding came at Biden's personal residence in Wilmington, Delaware, and follows two other classified batches from his vice presidential days that were flagged last year, Attorney General Merrick Garland revealed Thursday....So far, there have been at least three distinct classified document discoveries. The first came on Nov. 2 of last year, while a Biden lawyer was clearing out a closet in the president's old office space at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, a foreign policy-focused think tank. Biden "periodically used this space from mid-2017 until the start of the 2020 campaign," according to White House...

What's going on at CNN This Morning? Don't tell us there's been an outbreak of objectivity!

Today, CNN This Morning took a surprisingly jaundiced view of the Biden admin's handling of disclosures of information regarding classified docs in Biden's possession as a private citizen after leaving the vice presidency.

The electronic strike zone will be used in all 30 Class AAA parks in 2023, sources told ESPN, seemingly another significant step toward the implementation of the technology at the big-league level in the near future. The Automatic Balls and Strikes system, commonly referred to as ABS, will be deployed in two different ways. Half of the Class AAA games will be played with all of the calls determined by an electronic strike zone, and the other half played with an ABS challenge system similar to that used in professional tennis.

Russian Navy ships and submarines have suddenly left their base at Novorossiysk, in the Black Sea, en-masse. This is highly unusual and many fear that this is a change in tactics. The Western Press keeps trying to paint Russia as losing the war so, quite frankly, they can get more people to volunteer to join the military if they think they are on the winning side. There is no question that the US and Russia are waging the most intense confrontation since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Our model on that confrontation aligned with our major war model showing that...

Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz predicts neither former President Donald Trump nor President Joe Biden will be criminally prosecuted for having classified documents at personal locations. "I think in the end these allegations cancel each other out. I don't think anybody's going to be prosecuted and I don't think anybody should be prosecuted," Dershowitz said Thursday during an appearance on Newsmax TV's "Spicer & Co." "Nobody took things home in order to sell them to the Chinese, probably it was mostly inadvertent, laziness, carelessness, maybe in some instances a desire to have material that they could look to help them...

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday appointed a special counsel to investigate the classified documents from Joe Biden's time as vice president. He said on Nov. 14, he appointed U.S. Attorney John Lausch, a nominee of former President Donald Trump, to conduct the initial investigation into classified documents found at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C. and inform Garland whether a special counsel needed to be appointed.

A French hunter who shot dead a British man he mistook for a wild boar got a two-year suspended sentence on Thursday, days after the government outlined tighter rules for the sport. “There isn’t a day I don’t think about it, it’s marked me for life. I’m sorry,” the shooter told the court at the November opening of his trial for involuntary manslaughter, admitting that he had not “identified the target”. During the busy times of the hunting season, large parts of the French countryside reverberate with the sound of gunshots, leading many walkers to avoid forested areas for their...

Governor Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) is branding China a “hostile nation” and is warning them to stay out of the Sunshine State’s real estate market, telling the Chinese Communist Party their investments are not welcome in Florida.

A seasoned prosecutor who served in the Trump administration will act as special counsel to look into President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents.
