Trying to confirm the rumor that Trump requested that Jack Smith add Don Jr. to the witness list after the Judge ordered that he is not to have any contact with witnesses.

Republican leadership was counting on full attendance today to force VP Harris to come break the tie on Jared Bernstein. But Sen. Tuberville missed the cloture vote just now, so Republicans are furious.

Tuberville is headed to Bedminster for Trump’s event tonight…

Byron York on Fox News speculates that Trump may have held on to classified documents simply because "he really liked momentos" and "souvenirs" pic.twitter.com/HLBSkbmNcg

Yeah; use that defense.

Donald Trump has been arrested more times than he’s been elected.

President Trump is a 76 year old man, he is not an impressionable child. He can't escape accountability by kicking, screaming, or denying reality this time. The rule of law still means something in America- even if it's just a meaningless term in his MAGA bubble.

Trump has now been arraigned in the Manhattan and Miami without any major violence erupting. You know why? Because people are now scared of being prosecuted for it after January 6.

Enforcing the law maintains order. Don’t pardon the J6 convicts. They are an important deterrent.

Byron's coming around.

Imagine how surprised he'll be when he discovers, as every single Espionage Act defendant before Trump has discovered, motive doesn't matter.

And, frankly, Trump claims to have fewer noble motives than his partners in Espionage Act defense. https://t.co/gbZZ8b0Goj

"Motive" is a murder mystery term; it’s not a legal term. No prosecution ever carries the burden of proving motive.
