Former President Trump isn't just campaigning for the White House. Increasingly, he could be campaigning for his freedom. Trump this week announced he has been informed he is a target in the Justice Department investigation into his efforts to remain in power after losing the 2020 election, a development that could foreshadow additional federal charges against him. |

Former President Trump's muddled messages on early voting risk hurting Republicans as they look to revamp their strategy heading into 2024. During a town hall interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity this week, Trump said he would encourage Republicans to do early voting. At the same time, he also sowed doubt over the approach — baselessly alleging people make "phony ballots" and claiming "a lot of bad things happen to those ballots." |

Former President Trump's campaign Friday celebrated the judge in his Mar-a-Lago classified documents case setting a trial date for next May, months after the date prosecutors had requested. A Trump spokesperson called the new order from Judge Aileen Cannon "a major setback" to the Justice Department's (DOJ) "crusade to deny President Trump a fair legal process" as the former president faces federal criminal charges on 37 counts in relation to his alleged mishandling of classified documents after his time in office. |

Republican presidential candidate and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie took another swipe at former President Trump on Friday, claiming he's a "con artist" amid his legal woes. The Trump campaign's financial disclosures for the first quarter revealed that just over half of the money he raised for his 2024 bid has been used to pay legal fees, the Washington Post reported. Christie called the move "ridiculous," and claimed the former president's supporters were likely left in the dark. |

The FBI improperly used surveillance powers to conduct searches for information on a U.S. senator, a state lawmaker and a state judge, according to court records released Friday as part of a public records request. The FBI's improper use of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was documented in an opinion from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) and is sure to pose challenges for an intelligence community lobbying for the reauthorization for what it sees as one of its most vital tools |

Hunter Biden's lawyer filed an ethics complaint against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) Friday, requesting that an ethics watchdog "immediately" initiate a review of Greene's conduct after she showed sexually explicit photos of Biden at a congressional hearing this week. In a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), Biden attorney Abbe David Lowell slammed Greene's actions as "abhorrent behavior that blatantly violates House Ethics rules and standards of official conduct." |

President Biden announced on Friday that he is adding CIA Director William Burns to serve as a member of his cabinet, elevating further an official he has dispatched on face-to-face missions in Russia and China to confront America's most pressing national security issues. It's rare for the CIA director to be given a seat in the cabinet – an advisory body that includes the major federal agencies but can be expanded to include other senior U.S. officials that the president views as leading on key priority issues. |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said in an interview Friday that the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol "was not an insurrection." During an interview with actor Russell Brand, DeSantis was asked if he would consider those who participated in the Jan. 6 riot "insurrectionists" or "protesters." The Florida Republican downplayed the events of the Capitol attack, saying in part of his response, "it was not an insurrection." |

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has cleared the donor threshold necessary to qualify for the first GOP debate, his campaign confirmed on Friday. Tricia McLaughlin, a senior adviser on Ramaswamy's campaign, confirmed to The Hill that Ramaswamy had reached 65,000 unique donors — well over the required minimum of 40,000 donors. |

Republicans are mounting up to defend Jason Aldean's song "Try That in a Small Town" and its music video against accusations of racist imagery and threats of violence. Aldean's video, which went up on YouTube last week and quickly drew attention on social media, features clips of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests interspersed with footage of crimes — including an apparent convenience store robbery, a carjacking and depictions of people setting American flags on fire. |

OPINION | In cinemas across America this weekend, "Oppenheimer" audiences are getting a crash course in the history of the Manhattan Project. While chronicling the story of the "American Prometheus," the film traces the efforts of U.S. civil and military institutions to marshal science, resources and a "can do" spirit in a desperate race to beat the Nazis to the atom bomb. While the story and the history behind it illuminate one of the greatest — and most notorious — achievements of the 20th century, the history of the Manhattan Project also offers important lessons that are directly applicable to the geopolitical competition and technology race that 21st century America now finds itself in. |
OPINION | Thanks to House investigators, it has become increasingly clear: President Biden knew about and was likely involved in Hunter Biden's dealings with companies tied to the Chinese Communist Party. And he almost certainly lied about it.
That evidence is coming from credible IRS whistleblowers who have testified to that effect, as well as bank records, emails, audio tapes and eyewitnesses that confirm Biden's complicity. |
