Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway said Thursday on CNN’s special coverage of the hearing held by the House Select Committee investigating January 6 that former President Donald Trump’s “criminality” is being established. Anchor Wolf Blitzer said, “let me get your reaction to one of the most newsy developments we got, that John Eastman, this attorney that was advising the then president of the United States, he was beginning to believe that maybe he did commit an illegal act and wanted his name on that pardon list.”

Republican attorney George Conway on Sunday dished out some legal advice for the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, as the panel gears up for a series of public hearings starting this week. The Democrat-led panel will seek to prove that last year's insurrection was just one part of a wider conspiracy to undermine American elections that had been led by then-President Donald Trump. Conway, a prominent Washington, DC-area lawyer, has been a fervent critic of Trump's since the GOP commander-in-chief was in the White House - despite his wife Kellyanne Conway being one...

Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” The Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway reacted to former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann being acquitted of lying to the FBI about supposed “collusion” between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia during the 2016 campaign. Conway said that special counsel John Durham’s probe into the “Russian collusion” hoax should be “headed into the trash can.” He described both the case and investigation as jokes.

Former President Donald Trump called out the mental state of George Conway, husband to former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, and said, “His mind is completely shot.” Trump shared a screenshot of a tweet that included a picture of George Conway from a recent CNN appearance with a caption that asked, “Is George Conway ok…?”

ALincoln Project video calling on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from cases involving the January 6 Capitol riot has been viewed more than half a million times as of Saturday afternoon, following its release on Friday. Justice Thomas has faced pressure to recuse himself from such cases since reports outlining the role that his wife, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, played in attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Text messages she allegedly sent to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows showed her expressing support for overturning the election, based on unproven claims of voter fraud.

Attorney General Merrick Garland is not going to save democracy. Nor is the attorney general of New York, Letitia James; the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg; nor the Fulton County district attorney, Fani Willis. As the apparent collapse of the New York district attorney’s investigation makes clear, criminal cases are hard to make. Donald Trump, despite his many seemingly criminal acts, is unlikely to ever spend a day in jail. Observers of the Trump malignancy have an unfortunate habit of wish casting—believing that their most optimistic fantasies will become reality. They did this with the Mueller investigation—remember “It’s Mueller Time”?—and...

Sunday, the disgraced group has "a growing list of detractors" as many fear it could actually be enticing Trump to run for president again in 2024 despite its goal of defeating "Trumpism," and that it's become "ineffective" and "counterproductive" following Trump's loss in 2020, reports of internal strife and its failed hoax in Virginia to paint Republians as White supremacists. The Lincoln Project also continues to reel over co-founder John Weaver's sexual harassment scandal and a string of resignations earlier this year. "It was the darling of the resistance for savagely attacking Donald Trump. But now, everyone keeps rolling their...

The Charlottesville City Council rebuked the Lincoln Project on Thursday over a tiki torch stunt the group organized last week to protest a campaign event for Virginia Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin (R). In a letter to Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt, the Charlottesville City Council said the anti-Trump activist group "tore open a still-healing wound in Charlottesville" with the stunt. The council further criticized the group, stating, “Your post-demonstration press release promised the potential for more such painful memories.

The Lincoln Project co-founder Stuart Stevens has refused to apologize after the 'Never Trump' group admitted to planting five people carrying tiki torches in front of the Republican candidate for Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin's bus. Stevens' statement came as liberals and Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe's staff joined conservatives in bashing the stunt. McAuliffe's campaign manager called it 'disgusting.' CNN's Chris Cuomo asked Stevens, appearing with longtime Democratic strategist James Carville, if he wanted to apologize for the smear.

T The Lincoln Project claimed responsibility for a demonstration outside of Virginia Republican gubernatorial contender Glenn Youngkin's campaign bus that recalled the 2017 Charlottesville < "Today's demonstration was our way of remaining Virginians what happened in Charlottesville four years ago, the Republican Party's embrace of those values, and Glenn Youngkin's failure to condemn it," a statement from Lincoln Project said.

WASHINGTON — Hundreds of officials who worked for former Republican President George W. Bush are endorsing Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden — the latest Republican-led group coming out to oppose the re-election of Donald Trump. The officials, who include Cabinet secretaries and other senior people in the Bush administration, have formed a political action committee — "43 Alumni for Biden" — to support the former vice president in his Nov. 3 race, three organizers of the group told Reuters, which first reported the story. The group on Wednesday put out a statement announcing its formation.Bush was the country's 43rd...

Lincoln Project (TLP) co-founder George Conway said the organization “should shut down, absent full disclosure of its finances” in response to fresh reporting that TLP knew about the inappropriate behavior by Co-founder John Weaver as early as last year, along with additional information conveying that one-third of “TLP’s fundraising went to a firm run by one of the founders,” from which the four co-founders “were paid.”

George Conway, cofounder of the Never Trump Lincoln Project, and Kurt Bardella, a former senior adviser to the embattled organization, have publicly called to shut down the operation because of continued fallout over allegations of cofounder John Weaver preying upon young men, including minors, and subsequent reports that some of the super PAC’s leaders knew of the allegations as early as March 2020.

George Conway, who co-founded The Lincoln Project, is calling for an investigation into the anti-Trump group following a series of reports regarding allegations that another organization co-founder, John Weaver, sent unsolicited sexual messages to young men as well as a 14-year-old boy. Conway, a conservative attorney and husband of former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, tweeted Tuesday that "THE LYING HAS TO STOP" and demanded that the group waive nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) to allow for all current and former employees to reveal any knowledge they have about the claims. "An investigation is necessary. But it has to be thorough, and...

The Lincoln Project is a 'toxic' workplace with a culture of infighting where women are sidelined, young men are referred to as 'wizards' and political rivals are disparaged, current and former staffers have claimed. The anti-Trump PAC has had a tumultuous week after being rocked by sexual harassment allegations involving co-founder John Weaver and subsequent claims the group knew about it months before acknowledging it publicly. Now, nearly two dozen current and former staffers - or people associated with the group - have detailed in interviews with the 19th the 'toxic' inner workings of the Lincoln Project.

The 16-year-old has been in the news a lot over the past several months, and has racked up over a million TikTok followers. Claudia has taken breaks from social media in the past, but she returned to Twitter this weekend to talk about her experience on Idol. She also posted plenty of honest thoughts on Instagram and TikTok. In the days leading up to her audition airing, Claudia posted on TikTok that she was “not happy” about it. She added that she was “nervous...

The Lincoln Project’s fundraising page has been shut down, following a wave of scandals which continue to engulf the organization. The donation page on the Lincoln Project website has listed as inactive since Saturday after a number of its founders resigned amid reports of sexual misconduct and misappropriation of funds. The anti-Trump PAC consisted of a group of Republican strategists working to unseat former President Donald Trump, after criticizing him in media appearances throughout his term. But the group imploded last month when multiple young men went public with allegations of sexual harassment against co-founder John Weaver which other members...
