Former Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney would likely have to testify before a new U.S. House subcommittee that’s investigating the events that took place before and after Jan. 6, 2021, if she gets subpoenaed, which a subcommittee member has already said is likely to happen. Despite Cheney receiving a pardon from former President Joe Biden during his final hours in office, presidential pardons come with the caveat that they remove Fifth Amendment privileges for the recipient. The Fifth Amendment grants the constitutional right to not answer questions in a court of law. Many Republicans have criticized the work of the United...

Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who resigned from Congress last week after President-elect Trump tapped him for attorney general, multiple news outlets reported Tuesday.

Vice President Kamala Harris plagiarized material in addition to her book Smart on Crime, an analysis by Washington Free Beacon’s Aaron Sibarium found Tuesday. The additional allegations of plagiarism diminish the credibility of the Harris campaign’s denial of plagiarism. The Beacon’s Sibarium reported Harris also plagiarized pages of congressional testimony from a Republican colleague and a fictionalized story about human trafficking. Sibarium reported on Harris’s material from congressional testimony: Virtually her entire testimony about the bill was taken from that of another district attorney, Paul Logli of Winnebago County, Illinois, who had testified in support of the legislation two months...

A European couple who videotaped the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely could be “incredibly favorable” to ex-Marine Daniel Penny’s defense at his upcoming trial, his lawyers say — but the mystery lovebirds have refused to testify. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Maxwell Wiley revealed Monday that the two European eyewitnesses have rebuffed prosecutors’ bid to get them to turn over the footage and return to the city for Penny’s trial next month, according to a transcript obtained by The Post. The couple “apparently took a video of the incident, and since that time have declined to testify in the Grand...

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.

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...

Fani Willis could be hit by last minute testimony from a key witness in her ethics hearing, as she fights to remain on Donald Trump's election interference case. Prosecutors have requested that Stan Brody, who works at Acumen Wines, give testimony during closing statements in Willis' ethics hearing, after he told CNN last month that he hosted the Fulton County district attorney, and a man he later learned was special prosecutor Nathan Wade at a two-hour wine tasting in early 2023. Brody said that Willis paid with cash for two bottles of wine, each valued at roughly $150, and for...

The White House sent an angry letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland a day before the Special Counsel report on President Joe Biden's mishandling of classified information was released. White House Counsel Ed Siskel complained in a letter on February 7 that Special Counsel Robert Hur's report included 'multiple denigrating statements' about Biden's memory. Details of the White House letters between Justice Department officials were first published by Politico. 'A global and pejorative judgment on the President's powers of recollection in general is uncalled for and unfounded,' the letter read. The latest development in the special counsel saga as Congress...

In his deposition last week, Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris and his lawyer invoked attorney-client privilege at least 17 times over questions related to his payments and work for Hunter Biden. According to the transcript of the testimony reviewed by Just the News, Morris said that he began representing Biden about one week after the December 2019 California fundraiser for his father, Joe Biden, who became president in 2020. The details surrounding this meeting were previously reported by Just the News. Morris’ early representation of Hunter Biden allowed him to invoke the privilege frequently, to avoid answering questions about his first...

Donald Trump threw his hands in the air and said he’d “love it” if the judge at his New York defamation trial threw him out of court for loudly ripping sex abuse accuser E. Jean Carroll as she testified Wednesday. The “Ask E. Jean” advice columnist’s lawyers twice complained that the former president was providing running commentary to his team within earshot of the jurors — including calling Carroll’s testimony “false” and grousing that “she now seems to have finally gotten her memory back.” “Mr. Trump has a right to be present here but that right can be forfeited if...
