    MSN/The Hill ^ | Ashleigh Fields
    Former United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice bucked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s intelligence following weeks of scrutiny over leaks at the Pentagon amid massive spending reductions at the Department of Defense (DOD). Rice, who previously served as national security adviser in the Obama administration, questioned Hegseth’s proven ability to lead on an international level in conversation with “No Lie With BTC” podcast host Brian Taylor Cohen. “Well, if you’re a white male Christian cisgender macho MAGA man, you can be as dumb as a rock and be deemed qualified to serve as secretary of Defense. That’s apparently what we’ve learned from...
  • Campaigning Skadden associate resigns citing Big Law's failure to challenge Trump's attacks on law firms

    A lawyer at Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom who helped coordinate an open letter calling on the leaders of US law firms to speak out against the Trump administration's efforts “aimed at dismantling rule-of-law norms” has given her conditional notice to the firm. Rachel Cohen, a Chicago-based associate at Skadden since 2022, revealed the move on LinkedIn today (21 March). She said she had contacted "multiple trusted partners" in the firm's management after President Trump issued an executive order against Perkins Coie on 6 March, but her emails had gone unanswered or received delayed responses. The Perkins Coie order...
  • Hunter Biden may be avoiding testifying in laptop suit because of possible 3-month trip to South Africa: docs

    Hunter Biden is trying to dodge a deposition in a lawsuit involving his infamous laptop because he wants to decamp to South Africa for three months — and he’s using the LA wildfire as “an excuse,” new court papers allege. Former Trump White House aide Garrett Ziegler — whom Hunter claimed illegally hacked his laptop and spread its embarrassing contents — is fighting the Biden scion’s request to drop a lawsuit against him. Biden said in a filing last week that he cannot pursue the suit because he is broke due to his art no longer selling and the wildfire...

    Employees at the Department of Housing and Urban Development cafeteria this morning were surprised by a strange video of President Donald Trump on the television screens. The video featured the words 'Long Live the Real King' in front of artificially generated footage of President Trump kissing billionaire Elon Musk's feet. Footage of the video playing on the cafeteria screens was shared by a HUD source with Vox reporter Rachel Cohen who posted it on social media.
  • Democrat fears National Guard might to 'do something' to stop Biden: "The Guard is 90-some-odd percent, male. Only about 20% of white males voted for Biden"

    The "virtual" inauguration for Joe Biden on Wednesday will be anything but normal. Already, 25,000 National Guard troops have been dispatched to Washington, D.C., in response to the Jan. 6 riot. On Monday, an inauguration rehearsal was interrupted because of a fire in a nearby homeless camp. Now, a House Democrat from Tennessee, Rep. Steve Cohen, is expressing distrust of the Guard troops. "The Guard is 90-some-odd percent, I believe, male. Only about 20% of white males voted for Biden," Cohen told CNN. "You gotta figure that in the Guard, which is predominantly more conservative, and I see that on...
  • LA Mayor Karen Bass' past in communist Cuba revealed... as insiders say her political career is 'over'

    She rose from being a doctor’s assistant to running one of the largest cities in America. But today, embattled Karen Bass, 71, is a lightning rod for anger over her handling of historic wildfires that turned huge swaths of Los Angeles into a charred hellscape. And now her alleged missteps have imperiled her political career and further damaged her crumbling reputation with millions of Angelenos. Last night, in yet another on-air embarrassment, she was taken to task in front of millions by none other than President Trump. He admonished her for her poor handling of the fires disaster, telling her...

    Michael Cohen, a former personal attorney for Donald Trump, said Saturday on MSNBC’s “Velshi” that if the former president wins the election, “people will start flying out of windows” or end up in prisons like in Russia. Cohen said, “State-sponsored news just like what you have in Russia and their station which is called Pravda and means truth which is ironic, right? All of this goes away under a Donald Trump administration. Why? Because he doesn’t want to hear anything negative being said about him. The fact that you have this television show, the fact that you have the ability...

    Last Thursday, in a courtroom in Manhattan that voted against him 88-12% in 2020, a jury, heavily persuaded by a judge, who contributed to Joe Biden in 2020, convicted President Donald Trump on 34 counts of falsification of business records. The case concerns payments that were made to former Trump attorney Michael Cohen in 2017. Cohen claimed the payments were reimbursement for a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to ensure her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with President Trump.

    EXCLUSIVE: House Majority Whip Tom Emmer is demanding that the Justice Department "take immediate action" to prosecute ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen for making false statements and admitting to stealing during the unprecedented criminal trial of former President Trump. Fox News Digital exclusively obtained a letter Emmer, R-Minn., sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland Wednesday, urging the DOJ "take immediate action" on the multiple criminal referrals from congressional committees related to alleged lies Cohen has told Congress. Emmer also demanded information on top Manhattan prosecutor Matthew Colangelo, who worked as a senior Justice Department official in the Biden administration . ...and...

    Whatever Trump did after the 2016 presidential election, it seems safe to say that it did not retroactively promote his victory.Last January, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg summed up his case against Donald Trump this way: "We allege falsification of business records to the end of keeping information away from the electorate. It's an election interference case." That gloss made no sense, because the records at the center of the case—11 invoices, 11 checks, and 12 ledger entries that allegedly were aimed at disguising a hush-money reimbursement as payment for legal services—were produced after the 2016 presidential election. At that...

    (CNN) - The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office made a significant tactical error announcing they were resting their case after calling Michael Cohen as their final witness in the Donald Trump hush money trial. But it’s not because Cohen, a convicted felon and disbarred lawyer, was a bad witness. He actually did pretty well in responding to the prosecution’s warm-up when confronted with his prior bad acts, convictions and bias toward the former president, staying steady on the stand and not losing his cool. But Cohen lost his footing during cross-examination Thursday, where it appeared he omitted important information when recounting...

    The prosecution’s 'star witness' Michael Cohen is back on the stand for a third day, as the court waits with bated breath to find out whether former President Donald Trump could testify himself. He finally admitted under oath that he stole $60,000 from the Trump Organization by ‘grossing up’ payments for tax. Donald Trump was seen shaking his head as his former ‘fixer’ made the revelation, confirming he’s a common thief. Cohen also dramatically revealed that he dealt with an apparent photo ‘extortion’ blackmail attempt involving the ex-president’s daughter, Tiffany. Cohen admits he was handling Tiffany Trump ‘blackmail’ Blanche continues...

    Joe Biden is a despicable human being and a flaming racist. He was a "dear" friend of Robert Byrd, a former Exalted Cyclops of the KKK. Biden considers him a mentor. It shows. At what should have been a happy day for the graduates of Morehead University, Biden raised a dark cloud over the ceremony as he stoked the fires of racial hatred for his own personal gain. Instead of focusing on the young people, Biden once again made the day about himself invoking his deceased family members. He bragged about ignoring the Supreme Court rulings. Biden did what he...
  • UNDER DURESS: Prosecutors Allegedly Threatened Convicted Perjurer Michael Cohen to ‘Flip on Trump or We INDICT YOUR WIFE!’

    Convicted perjurer Michael Cohen testified under oath that he was coerced into pleading guilty by threats from prosecutors aimed not just at him but at his family. During a tense courtroom exchange, it became evident that the deep state’s tactics might have stooped to new lows in their relentless pursuit against Trump. Thursday’s session in the ongoing trial saw Trump’s legal team cross-examine Cohen, following two days where the prosecution grilled him in an effort to link the former president to alleged criminal activities. According to reports from The Gateway Pundit’s Paul Ingrassia, who is closely monitoring the proceedings, Cohen’s...

    Jury members in Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial are being "treated like chumps," says legal analyst Jonathan Turley. He also believes star prosecution witness Michael Cohen suffered a "dramatic implosion" on Thursday. Turley, who is a frequent Fox commentator and professor at George Washington University Law School, expresses extreme doubt in a blog that the prosecution has any basis for conviction and poses the question of whether the jury "is realizing that they are being played by the prosecution." He also says: "With the dramatic implosion of Michael Cohen on the stand on Thursday with the exposure of another...

    Not since Stormy stumbled out of a Nevada hotel room has anyone been so underwhelmed. For four weeks, botoxed cable news hosts have been consumed, a presidential election has been hamstrung and those eating lunch have been revolted by sloppy, salacious testimony flowing like raw sewage out of a courthouse in lower Manhattan. It's here that the first former US president in history has been put on trial for the crime of… well, we still don't know exactly.

    Political commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin said Thursday on CNN’s coverage of former President Donald Trump’s business record trial that witness Michael Cohen after the defense lawyer Todd Blanche’s cross-examination. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Michael Cohen says he never sought a job at the white house. Bryan Lanza here who worked on the 2016 campaign, says, that’s not true. He recalls Michael Cohen wanting to be White House council. We have some journalists on our panel here saying that’s not true. They were recalling Michael Cohen saying he was going to join the White House. He was very excited to do...
