Elections officials in Georgia have to certify results by the date required in state law, a judge ruled Monday, saying they have no discretion to delay certification because of fraud concerns or other potential issues that may arise as votes are being counted. Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney wrote in an order Monday that "election superintendents in Georgia have a mandatory fixed obligation to certify election results" by Nov. 12.

Judge Tanya Chutkan agreed to unseal Special Counsel Jack Smith’s evidence attached to the 165-page ‘opening brief’ which was already used to attack President Trump. This is Jack Smith’s dirty October surprise. Trump’s lawyers earlier Thursday asked Judge Chutkan to keep Jack Smith’s evidence appendix from public view.

I don’t know whether it will be peaceful,” the retiring 81-year-old president said during his surprise 15-minute appearance in response to a question from National Public Radio’s Tamara Keith. “The things that [former President Donald] Trump has said and the things that he said last...

One of the dismissed charges accused Trump and others of trying to overturn Joe Biden’s...

Kennedy Jr. has been disqualified from appearing on New York's general election ballot after a judge ruled Monday that he falsely claimed a New York residence on his nominating petitions, leading to their invalidation. Judge Christina Ryba ruled that Kennedy's claim of a New York address as his "place of residence" was a "false statement," concluding that it was evident he had no plans to move back to the Empire State and said he only listed the location for political gain. Ryba's ruling is expected to be appealed by the Aug. 15 deadline. If her...
