On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear Donald Trump’s arguments that he is immune from prosecution for his efforts to steal the 2020 presidential election. It is likely that all — or nearly all — of the justices agree that a former president who attempted to seize power and remain in office illegally can be prosecuted. I suspect that some justices may also wish to clarify whether doctrines of presidential immunity might apply in other contexts — for example, to a president’s actions as commander in chief during a time of war. But the justices should also recognize the...

The national antiwar-impeachment group, World Can’t Wait, drew 150 people, representing the range of the city’s cultural milieu, to the San Francisco Main Library’s Koret Auditorium Sunday to “drive out the Bush Regime” and reverse its slide toward what many see as an imperial presidency. The meeting was one of at least 11 such events around the country this month and last, from New York to Los Angeles, mobilizing public sentiment for impeachment, despite the repeated insistence by Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party leadership that the issue is “off the table.” An American Research Group poll last week found...

Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) took aim at former President Trump for launching an initiative to sell Bibles on Tuesday and encouraged him to read what the Bible says about adultery. “Happy Holy Week, Donald. Instead of selling Bibles, you should probably buy one,” Cheney wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, in response to a screenshot of Trump’s Bible pitch on Truth Social. “And read it, including Exodus 20:14,” Cheney added, referring to the verse that commands, “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” In his latest effort to raise funds, Trump pitched his “God Bless...

Speculation is growing about the role former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) will play in the 2024 election as President Biden and former President Trump barrel toward a rematch. Cheney has vowed that she’ll do whatever it takes to keep Trump from returning to the White House. She has left the door open to running an independent bid and recently launched her political action committee, the Great Task, after Nikki Haley dropped her long-shot primary challenge against Trump.

Anchor Jake Tapper said, “You still haven’t ruled out a presidential run of your own in 2024, as far as I know.

Anchor Jake Tapper said, “What you say, doing what Donald Trump wants him to do. Donald Trump has not responded directly at all to Navalny’s death last night, he was attacking prosecutors at his rally in Michigan. He’s posted dozens of times on his Truth Social social media app calling Biden an incompetent president. So it’s not as he hasn’t been...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) went after Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Monday, saying he is not “fit to serve” after he said he would have chosen not to certify the 2020 election results without pro-Trump electors. Vance said Sunday in an ABC “This Week” interview he would have allowed states to send multiple slates of electors to Washington after the 2020 election and “Congress should have fought over it from there,” adding there “were problems” in the 2020 election. “Yesterday, J.D. Vance claimed that Trump could defy rulings of the Supreme Court as President,” Cheney wrote on X, formerly...

It’s becoming increasingly clear that U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney was dishonest, manipulative, and destructive while serving on the Jan. 6 Committee. A lawsuit filed by my friend and long-time attorney Stefan Passantino on Dec. 20, 2023 lays it out. I know both participants well. I entered Congress in 1978 with Liz Cheney’s father, Dick Cheney. I watched Liz Cheney become a competent, effective implementor of American policy around the world. Few things have made me sadder than watching her drift into an anti-Trump fanaticism – which ultimately convinced her that breaking the rules, destroying innocent people, and pandering fake news...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) blasted what she called a “circus” in the House on Wednesday, when Hunter Biden, the president’s son, made a surprise visit to a hearing of the Oversight and Accountability Committee. During an appearance on ABC’s “The View,” Cheney said she had “only seen clips” of the chaos that broke out in the hearing room just minutes before she went on the program, but she said elected representatives need to do a better job of respecting the congressional inquiry process. “These are not games,” Cheney said, before adding Hunter Biden “should be held accountable like anyone...

Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming said she believes former President Donald Trump should be disqualified from being on presidential primary ballots across the country.

Former President Donald Trump marked the third anniversary of the January 6 Capitol attack by again demanding that the 'hostages' be released by President Joe Biden. Trump brought up January 6 at both of his Iowa appearances Saturday on the campaign trail, saying at one of them that participants in the riot three years ago acted 'patriotically and peacefully.' He also continued to go after former Rep. Liz Cheney, one of only two Republicans to participate in the House of Representatives' probe after the attack. After a nearly three and half hour delay - due to a malfunctioning small private...

Donald Trump used his social media platform to falsely accuse Liz Cheney of destroying evidence gathered by the congressional January 6 investigation, saying she was guilty of 'extreme sabotage.' It is not the first time he has made the claim and suggested it is all part of denying him the testimony, video footage and documents he needs to defend himself in criminal trials. Cheney, one of his biggest critics inside the Republican Party, quickly hit back, posting a link to online materials collected by the investigation. The former president is due to go on trial in March in Washington, D.C.,...

Cheney said, “Every single president, Republican and Democrat, since George Washington, has ensured the peaceful transition of power. Donald Trump tried to seize power. So we can disagree with Biden policies, but the fact that he tried to seize power, the fact that he ignored the rulings of 61 courts, the fact that he ignored his own attorney general, his own White House counsel, who told...
