Donald Trump and Deutsche Bank's years-long symbiotic relationship came to the forefront of his New York civil fraud trail this week when top executives who once loaned the former president's business hundreds of millions of dollars gave the most compelling defense yet in his trial. The executives bolstered arguments Trump's counsel has made from the start: that the bank wanted to work with the Trump Organization, did its own due diligence and found no fraud. |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is facing high stakes ahead of next week's Republican primary debate in Alabama, as he looks to regain lost ground in the final weeks before the Iowa caucuses. The forum, which is hosted by NewsNation — a news organization owned by Nexstar, which also owns The Hill — comes as former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley poses a major threat to DeSantis in polling out of Iowa and New Hampshire. Additionally, Haley is appearing to shore up support from the donor class as well as the powerful, Koch-aligned group Americans For Prosperity (AFP). |

The Republican presidential primary calendar won't officially kick off until the Jan. 15, 2024, Iowa caucuses, but former President Trump's dominant position in the polls has already sparked chatter about who could join him on a general election ticket. Trump is leading his primary rivals by an average of 60 percent at the national level and more than 20 percent in state surveys, creating a sense that the nomination is his to lose. |

| Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) claims that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) was "a collaborator" in former President Trump's efforts to remain in power after the 2020 election. "If you look at what Donald Trump is trying to do, he can't do it by himself. He has to have collaborators," Cheney said in an interview on CBS Sunday Morning.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) went after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) at a campaign event in Prosperity, S.C., Friday in the wake of a debate between the two. "I have never been in a situation, being on stage with somebody, who told so many bold-face lies," DeSantis said of his debate with Newsom. "I mean, it was unbelievable." He criticized Newsom for his comments on taxes and inflating President Biden's agenda, arguing he is "trying to basically sell ice to an eskimo." |

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said he's looking forward to questioning former pandemic chief Anthony Fauci over the origins of COVID-19 during a congressional hearing scheduled for next month. Paul has been the loudest voice calling for investigations into government action surrounding COVID-19 origins, specifically into U.S. government funding of biotech research in China. He's a major proponent of the "lab leak" theory of COVID, but the disease's exact origin is still unknown. |

President Biden's role in high-stakes talks between Israel and Hamas is drawing attacks from his 2024 presidential challengers, pulling the fraught issue of hostage negotiations into America's presidential race.

OPINION | If Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis were a stock, a lot of people in the political world would have begun "short selling" it months ago. While many on the Republican side of the political world believe DeSantis to be a nice guy and a good family man who saved Florida from the insanity of COVID-19 lockdown dictates, they also see him as someone not built for retail politics — he can come across as aloof, uninterested in the process, disrespectful of some major donors and prone to making one unforced error after the other. |
OPINION | As 2023 nears its end, employers continue to have a hard time finding workers nationwide. And unfortunately, there appears to be no end in sight. Recent work from the Manufacturing Institute notes that the United States could have as many as 2.1 million unfilled jobs in 2030. And without having access to the workers they need, the U.S. economy will suffer. The same report projects a loss of $1 trillion resulting from unfilled jobs. |
