In a bombshell release, the House Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Jim Jordan, has unveiled a comprehensive report titled “Lawfare: How the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and a New York State Judge Violated the Constitutional and Legal Rights of President Donald J. Trump.” This interim staff report, a result of extensive investigations by the Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, exposes the egregious violations of President Trump’s rights by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan. The report scrutinizes Bragg’s 34-count criminal indictment against Trump, which was announced on April 4, 2023....

CNN reported: Former President Donald Trump can now publicly speak about witnesses like Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels who testified at his New York criminal trial, according to a court order on Tuesday that rolls back parts of a gag order Judge Juan Merchan imposed before the trial began. Trump, however, cannot discuss any prosecutor, court staffer or their family members, as the latest order from Merchan upholds that portion of the gag order. That aspect of the gag order remains in effect at least until his sentencing, which is set for July 11, the latest ruling says.

Mark speaks with Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey about the most recent court ruling to reject President Biden’s federal student loan forgiveness and Missouri filing suit against the state of New York for interfering in the 2024 election.

I watched something on Friday that left me scratching my head, and maybe someone can sort it out for me. Doesn't everyone know the first rule when it comes to "Judge Judy" Sheindlin is: "Nobody messes with Judge Judy, period"? CNN host Chris Wallace was certainly blindsided when he had the former TV jurist as his guest on the latest episode of "Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace," which is broadcast on the Max streaming platform on Fridays. In a preview released before the show aired, Wallace asked Sheindlin what she thought of former President Donald Trump's legal tactics, but felt...

Welcome to DailyMail.com's U.S. politics live blog for the latest news from Washington D.C. Judge Judy has slammed Manhattan DA ALvin Bragg for his 'nonsense' deicision to prosecute Donald Trump in his hush money case. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has ruled on the Second Amendment issue of whether domestic abusers should be allowed to own guns.

Manhattan prosecutors on Friday approved allowing Donald Trump to rip witnesses in his hush money case now that the verdict’s in — while detailing horrific new death threats they argued was tied “directly” to the convicted ex-president’s “dangerous rhetoric.” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office agreed with lawyers for Trump, 78, that the limited gag order in the case — in which a jury the presumptive Republican presidential nominee guilty of covering up a payment to a porn star — should be lifted as it relates to trial witnesses like Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels.“The compelling interest in protecting the...

When Columbia students took over Hamilton Hall at the end of April, it seemed the university was finally getting tired of their antics. A spokesman for the school warned that there would be consequences, specifically expulsion.We made it very clear yesterday that the work of the University cannot be endlessly interrupted by protesters who violate the rules. Continuing to do so will be met with clear consequences. Protesters have chosen to escalate to an untenable situation—vandalizing property, breaking doors and windows, and blockading entrances—and we are following through with the consequences we outlined yesterday.Students occupying the building face expulsion.And that...

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced he is filing a lawsuit against the state of New York for what he called "their direct attack on our democratic process through unconstitutional lawfare against President Trump." On Thursday, Bailey said on his podcast, "The Bailey Wire," that his office would be taking steps to combat illicit prosecutions against the former president. Bailey said it's time to restore the rule of law. "Radical progressives in New York are trying to rig the 2024 election. We have to stand up and fight back," he exclusively told Fox News Digital. Bailey said the state's actions...

A New York Appeals court on Tuesday denied Trump’s bid to appeal a gag order in Alvin Bragg’s case after a jury already returned a guilty verdict. President Trump previously asked the Court to lift the gag order “because the trial has concluded.” Biden’s DOJ hatchet man Matthew Colangelo earlier this month asked Merchan to keep the gag order in place to “avoid threats to the fairness of the trial itself.”

What happened to "Michael Anderson" the guy who posted on Facebook that his cousin, who was a juror in the trial presided over by Judge Juan Merchan, told him that the jury had already found President Trump guilty of clerical bookkeeping entries to cover up an underlying crime that was never defined?There was supposed to have been an investigation into whether Michael Anderson was a hoaxster. If it had been found out that he made a fake post then that news would have been already BLASTED out all over the news media. However, so far we have heard... nothing.I don't...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has conducted an internal investigation and allegedly found no evidence of collusion between its officials, including Joe Biden‘s DOJ hatchet man, Matthew Colangelo, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office. The Gateway Pundit reported in April 2023 that Colangelo was the linchpin in the “get Trump” movement in New York, hired by Bragg’s office in December 2022 to spearhead politically motivated investigations against former President Donald Trump. Bragg’s top prosecutor, Matthew Colangelo, was the Former Acting Associate Attorney General for the U.S. Department of Justice and is a lifelong left-wing activist. Colangelo’s past is littered...

In a new development in Trump’s Manhattan “hush money” case, Justice Merchan has communicated to the involved parties about an incident involving a comment left on the court system’s Facebook page. The comment, left on May 29, one day prior to Trump’s conviction, reads: “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted 🎉 Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!! ❤️” Theoretically, if the comment is found to be true and a juror was discussing the verdict of the case with their cousin, Justice Merchan could rule a mistrial.

Democratic Manhattan District Alvin Bragg’s office defended on Wednesday keeping former President Donald Trump under his gag order, requesting that it stay in place at least through Trump’s sentencing hearing in late July and any post-trial motions. Trump attorney’s asked Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday to lift the order, writing in a letter that the “concerns articulated by the government and the Court do not justify restrictions on the First Amendment rights of President Trump” now that the trial has concluded. Prosecutors disagreed, responding that the order was intended to protect more than just the trial proceedings. “As the People...

The office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is backed by Soros, is now under fire for allegedly leaking sensitive sentencing information about former President Donald Trump to the far-left media. In the wake of a trial widely criticized as a sham, where Trump was convicted on all 34 felony charges in a ‘hush money’ scandal, sources suggest that DA Bragg’s office may recommend Trump serve a year at the notorious Rikers Island. Judge Merchan told jurors they did not have to agree on a crime—a practice unheard of in US history. The jury only had to agree that...

VIDEO Has there ever been a more USELESS FBI Director than Chris Wray? Of course, he is useless only if you want him to do the right thing. Otherwise he has proven himself to be a very useful partisan hack for the Democrats. The result is his trademark evasive answers when challenged about the election interference LAWFARE now being conducted against President Trump. Otherwise Wray has no problems with the FBI engaging in blatant election interference such as when the FBI INTERFERED in the 2020 election by not revealing that Hunter Biden's laptop which it had in its possession was...
