Conservative lawyer George Conway said former Trump aide Hope Hicks’ testimony at former President Trump’s hush money trial “absolutely” corroborates his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen’s story about Trump in the case. “She put in Donald Trump’s mouth, the fact that he understood that those payments were made on his behalf before the election by Michael Cohen,” Conway said on CNN’s “The Situation Room” with host Wolf Blitzer, while speaking about Trump. “And that’s just… that’s devastating testimony. It absolutely corroborates Michael Cohen’s story, which has been corroborated in numerous respects, and it shows that he knew that when he was signing...

A new article out from Politico reveals that a select group of lawyers and legal pundits have been working behind the scenes to quash a Trump second term using the media. They've been sharing narratives, honing points, and working together to "intellectually stress-test the arguments facing Trump on his journey through the American legal system." The names of those who have been at these meetings are all too familiar and their tactics mirror those undertaken in 2020 to manipulate media to sway the presidential election in Biden's favor. A group began meeting weekly in 2022, every Friday, on Zoom calls...

Conservative legal commentator George Conway suggested President Biden “just has to be normal,” and authentic in his State of the Union address Thursday if he wants to consolidate his base. Asked how Biden can make a “positive case” to voters for the next four years, Conway told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that the president has “to be empathetic, he’s got to be himself.” “I think at the end of the day, he doesn’t have to do a hard sell,” he added. “He does have to get out there; he just has to be normal.” Conway, a staunch critic of former President...

Conservative attorney George Conway railed against former President Trump, calling him an “evil man,” after a jury ruled Trump must pay columnist E. Jean Carroll for defaming her by repeatedly denying her sexual assault allegations. “He’s somebody who can’t control himself,” Conway told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Friday, echoing rhetoric from the judge presiding over the case. “And, he can’t control himself because he’s a deeply disturbed, a morally bereft human being who has no conscience, has no morality, has no empathy, has no remorse and is sadistic as we saw during the trial.”

Attorney George Conway said Friday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that he believed supporters of former President Donald Trump were part of a “narcissistic” cult that had gone beyond reason and facts. Anchor Joy Reid said, “You know, Donald Trump is not a politician. He’s just a stand-in for people who are mad at the world. And he somehow managed to convince them that his personal legal peril. He stole those classified documents. He sexually abused E. Jean Carroll, he is the one who lied about the election and got people to commit crimes because they’re stupid enough to do it....

Conservative attorney George Conway on Wednesday suggested former President Trump won’t be successful if he appeals the Colorado Supreme Court decision disqualifying him from appearing on the state’s ballot. “He lost, it’s over,” Conway, a prominent Trump critic, said during a panel on CNN, adding later, “He’s done in Colorado courts. He’s got no further avenue to review for those state law issues that the dissents raised.”

When I review divided appellate-court decisions, I almost always read the dissenting opinions first. The habit formed back when I was a young law student and lawyer—and Federalist Society member—in the late 1980s, when I would pore (and, I confess, usually coo) over Justice Antonin Scalia’s latest dissents. I came to adopt the practice not just for newsworthy rulings that I disagreed with, but for decisions I agreed with, including even obscure cases in the areas of business law I practiced. Dissents are generally shorter, and almost always more fun to read, than majority opinions; judges usually feel freer to...

Vocal Trump critic George Conway said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that former President Donald Trump endorsed and encouraged violence with his “apocalyptic rhetoric.” Discussing an armed Utah man accused of making violent threats against President Joe Biden being killed by FBI agents this morning, host Joy Reid said, “This guy was 75 in Utah.”

George Conway said Wednesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that it iujpossible Mark Meadows, former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff during the Capitol riot, has been cooperating with the federal investigation into Trump. Cooper said, “CNN’s reporting also that the Trump team has not identified anyone else who received a target letter, according to sources. I’m wondering what you read into that. Does it mean that other Trump associates aren’t being charged, or do you think there are other targets that haven’t been revealed yet? It also raises questions about if there is somebody who is cooperating? Is a...

George Conway, an attorney and prominent conservative critic of former President Trump, said Monday that the former president’s comments on a newly released audio tape discussing holding onto classified documents are “stunning,” calling him a “sociopathic criminal.” Descriptions of the recording had been included in the 37-count federal indictment alleging Trump’s handling of sensitive material violated the Espionage Act and obstructed justice with his handling of sensitive material after leaving the White House, but the audio was not publicly available until CNN aired it Monday.

Fox News contributor Kellyanne Conway said Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” that progressive activist Cornel West’s third-party presidential bid could decide the 2024 election. Conway said, “Even if you don’t become president, you as a third party candidate spoiler can decide who is the president. This happened in 1992 when we had Bush 41 as the incumbent and a guy named Bill Clinton the Arkansas governor got elected with 43 1/2% of the vote. Why? because Ross Perot got 19% of the popular vote even though he did not rack up any electoral votes.”

George Conway, an attorney and prominent critic of former President Trump. said early Tuesday that it would be “kind of fitting” for Trump to go to jail over “something so stupid and pointless” as keeping classified documents from the White House. “Of all the things that this man has done … this documents case is probably the easiest, shortest, simplest, and yet carries the most severe likely penalties of any of the cases, any of the legal issues that he’s ever faced,” Conway said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Now, people will say, you know, in a just world, he would...

Former Trump aide Kellyanne Conway said Thursday on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow” that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) spent “way too much time on the culture wars.” Conway said, “President Trump is pulling away out there as full-time job campaigning for president. He has announced filed paperwork five-plus months ago. If you want to win, you have to play. So many others are supposedly running. Ron DeSantis has a huge war chest. He has done a great job as governor of Florida. He has lots of time to have a splashy announcement, hired consultants, maybe right people, maybe not. But he’s...

Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that millions of Americas “pretend” former President Donald Trump was a “sane human being.” Co-host Joe Scarborough said, “George, members of our former party going out, continue to go crow about how this is a weak charge, this is miscarriage of justice, this is the politicization, the weaponization of government, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Again, they don’t know. None of us know the extent of this, and it’s just so reckless. It may end up. Maybe it ended up being exactly what we originally thought this was...

Ron DeSantis (R-FL) should focus on Florida’s economic success instead of “woke and COVID.” Conway said, “I give President Trump and Governor DeSantis credit for being out there connecting with voters. You had Kamala Harris and Joe Biden at home. They were in California and Delaware yet again, as if all the nation’s problems have been solved. I thought up Trump getting at CPAC and saying I can finish the job. We had lower crime, lower prices. Only he can say that I’ve...

That’s according to Page Six, which cited unnamed sources late Friday to claim the pair tried to fix issues in their marriage, but are now preparing for a divorce. Both have now hired lawyers, according to Page Six.

Fox News contributor and former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said Wednesday on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow” that voters want a president to talk about their grievances, not his own, like the former president’s remarks about suspending the Constitution over the 2020 presidential election. Host Larry Kudlow said, “This business about suspending the Constitution because we learned there was free speech by finagling with Twitter. I mean, come on. You don’t suspend the Constitution. And he’s got to get off 2020. He just has to.” Conway said, “Look, I think elections are always about the future, not the past. People want...

Kroger has agreed to pay $180,000 to settle a lawsuit that involved two employees who say they were fired for refusing to wear LGBT-themed aprons due to their religious beliefs. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the women by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in the final months of the Trump administration. The EEOC is a bipartisan commission that includes appointees of both President Biden and former President Donald Trump. According to the suit, a Conway, Ark., grocery store “engaged in religious discrimination when it disciplined and ultimately fired the employees for refusing to wear an apron...
