Read the indictment charging Donald Trump with seven crimes here.

Trump added to the confusion when he said in an interview with Fox personality Sean Hannity, “There doesn’t have to be a process, as I understand it. ... If you’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified. Even by thinking about it.” Most national security legal experts dismissed the former president’s suggestion that he could declassify documents simply by thinking about it. But as an ABA Legal Fact Check posted Oct. 17 explains, legal guidelines support his contention that presidents have broad authority to formally declassify most documents that are not statutorily protected,...

Donald Trump in 2018 signed a sweeping national security bill into law. The bill increased punishments for those who mishandle classified information. The measure is of note after the Mar-a-Lago raid, thought to be connected to government documents.

ABC breaking news. Trump has been notified to appear next Tuesday to face at least 7 count indictment.

President Biden, the former Senator from Delaware, addressed the Business Roundtable on Monday afternoon. "We're at an inflection point, I believe, in the world economy, not just the world economy, the world, that occurs every three or four generations," the president said. "[A general told me that] 60 million people died between 1900 and 1946 and since then we've established a liberal world order, and it hasn't happened in a long while."

The fugitive parents of accused Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley broke down in court Saturday morning as their charges were read aloud. James, 45, and Jennifer, 43, Crumbley were captured early Saturday in the basement of a building on the 1100 block of Bellevue Street in Detroit, less than half a mile from the Canadian border, police confirmed. They were taken into custody after leading authorities on a large-scale manhunt.

What Trump said early in his speech: Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you, we’re going to walk down, we’re going to walk down. Anyone you want, but I think right here, we’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to...

Yes, the source is tiktok. Hold your laughter. This appears to be a valid account with some amazing footage in and outside the Whiteshouse by a member of staff. To me this is some really great video.

President Donald Trump exits the White House after four years of tumult much as he arrived, with only a handful of loyalists and family members at his side. In his final days in office, Trump found friends and political allies in short supply following the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, when a mob of his supporters breached the building to try and stop the formal certification of his election loss to Joe Biden. He leaves Washington with his Republican Party out of power and his popularity at the lowest point of his presidency.

With all due respect to the Robinsons, can we please get a clear and final answer regarding twitter linked videos and stories? I have tried to post same earlier and my post was deleted while others post and their stories remain up on the site. In particular I was trying to link to a video that Jack Posobiec psoted on twitter. Jack is a Christian, Veteran Navy intel officer, and China analyst. Post seem to be up to the whim of the moderator as compared to a stated policy that is equally applied. I really do not care what the...

An FBI agent has claimed in a sworn affidavit that a progressive activist was participating in the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, taking an active role in the chaos that unfolded that day rather than merely being present to document the riot as he earlier claimed. John Sullivan, an anti-Trump activist from Utah, told Just the News last week that he had been present at the riot, including inside the Capitol, "specifically [as] a journalist, just to record the events that were going down." Yet FBI agent Matthew Foulger alleged in an affidavit on Wednesday that, rather than merely act...

Panic buttons installed in Ayanna Pressley’s congressional office were torn out before rioters stormed the Capitol last week, her staff have said. Sarah Groh, who serves as Ms Pressley’s chief of staff, was with the congresswoman when president Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the US Capitol building last Wednesday. She told the Boston Globe that she had reached for the panic buttons installed in Ms Pressley’s office as they tried to barricade themselves in. But, when they went to press panic buttons, Ms Pressley’s staff saw that they weren’t there, and appeared to have been ripped out. “Every panic button in...

Two Capitol Police officers have been suspended for their alleged roles in the riot on Jan. 6, said Rep. Tim Ryan, who is chair of the House Appropriations subcommittee handling the investigation into the police response to the Capitol attack last week. “I know that there were two people that were suspended,” Ryan said during a press call. “One was the selfie officer and another was an officer that put a MAGA hat on that started directing some people around,” the lawmaker said. Ryan confirmed that there are approximately 10 to 15 Capitol Police officers under investigation for their behavior...

Its the qualifier that is confusing. "I just want to find 11,780 votes which is one more than we have." What did President Trump mean by which is one more than we have?

A federal appeals court on Saturday dismissed a lawsuit by Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and other Republicans that sought to expand Vice President Pence's legal authority to effectively overturn President-elect Joe Biden's electoral win.

Dismissed for lack of standing.

Just over 240 days ago the average American taxpayer was so graciously given $0.20 per day to live one. No it does not matter if you have no kids or 7 kids, $0.20 seemed reasonable considering the amazing meal you could have had on a $5.00 per day menu per person. This is a pandemic and everybody has to chip in for the greater good of the country. We now understand that 8,000,000 taxpayers have exasperated their checking account and there is nothing left. In the spirit of the holidays, however, we are going to extend our gracious offering after...

This is the updated list of SCOTUS motions in Texas vs PA, GA, MI, and WI. Newest motions are at the top. The original motion is Texas vs COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,STATE OF GEORGIA,STATE OF MICHIGAN,AND STATE OF WISCONSIN at the bottom of the table. Texas filed this as a State v State complaint arguing that SCOTUS has exclusive original jurisdiction. This means Texas is claiming there is no other possible venue to hear this case other than at the Supreme Court. The case was added to the docket, but has not yet been accepted. Remember, they filed a request for...
