After a year of legal, judicial, and political drama, Special Counsel Jack Smith just filed a superseding indictment to replace the first indictment he handed down against Donald Trump in August 2023 related to the events of January 6 and the former president’s alleged attempts to “overturn” the 2020 election. Trump faces the four same charges—three conspiracy and one obstruction count—but the new version is nine pages shorter as Smith had to follow the presidential immunity guidance set forth by the Supreme Court in the Trump v US opinion published on July 1.

The Justice Department has hit the Eagle Forum of Alabama with a voluminous subpoena that violates the organization’s First Amendment rights to speak freely, engage in the political process, and talk to their elected representatives. It’s an intimidation tactic, pure and simple, and shows just how partisan the department has become. This out-of-control behavior should scare every citizen and volunteer organization, no matter where they stand on the political or social spectrum. Eagle Forum is a very small non-profit in Alabama. It only has one full-time employee and a second, part-time employee. Virtually all of its work on issues of...

Peter Navarro outside the federal courthouse in Washington on Friday, taking questions from reporters. (AP) Legal experts say the indictment filed on Friday against former Trump White House official Peter Navarro is nothing more than a political witch hunt.

Under the subpoena, which was issued in February, Navarro was instructed to provide a deposition and documents to the committee. Because he refused, Navarro faces two counts. Each of the charges carries potential penalties of between...

Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said Sunday that special counsel Robert Mueller's report shows there's "potential" for President Trump to be prosecuted after he leaves office.

Jim Jordan has been one of the most effective investigators in pursuing the cabal that weaponized the FBI and intelligence agencies to fight the candidacy and then the presidency of Donald Trump.  Rather than answer him with facts and documents, the left is out to destroy him, which tells anyone paying attention that he is on to something. This campaign began to tar him with scandal, no matter how far-fetched.  George Rasley explains at Conservative HQ: NBC News published an article on Tuesday, quoting Mike DiSabato and Dunyasha Yetts, two former Ohio State University wrestlers, claiming that when Jim Jordan worked as assistant...
