New York DA Alvin Bragg set for showdown with House Republicans over Trump hush money conviction: Live updates

When asked how his wife Melania is holding up, Trump said she was “good” and remains supportive of his presidential campaign. However, he admitted, it was not easy for her to see “fake” reports.

“I don’t think it’s an easy thing for her,” he said. “And I think if it wasn’t good, she wouldn’t want to tell me about it to be honest with you. Because, you know, she sees that I’m fighting like hell, I’m trying to become president and make America great again.”

Conservatives are calling for a boycott of department store Kohl’s over its refusal to sponsor the Republican National Convention, which is being held in the state where the retailer is headquartered.

The Republican convention is set to take place in Milwaukee between July 15 to July 18. Donald Trump is expected to be formally named the party’s nominee for president to face off with President Joe Biden. However, the convention will take place just days after Trump is set to be sentenced after being convicted of 34 felonies in connection to hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Bragg’s testimony comes at the demand of House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, who sent a letter last month stating that the DA and Matthew Colangelo, a prosecutor on the case, participate in a House panel on 13 June.

Jordan, long a Trump loyalist, described the trial as an act of “unprecedented political prosecution” against the former president, according to The Hill.

Pictures of President Joe Biden‘s son with drug paraphernalia and bare-chested in a bubble bath. Text messages between Hunter Biden and drug dealers. Testimony from Hunter’s exes about relationships destroyed by his drug use.

Hunter Biden’s trial on gun charges brought by his father’s Justice Department has put on full display tawdry and embarrassing details about the president’s son, all while first lady Jill Biden watches from the courtroom in Wilmington, Delaware.

Prosecutors on Friday rested their case accusing Hunter Biden of lying when he swore that he was not a drug user on a federal form to buy a gun in October 2018. The defense could call at least one more witness when the trial resumes on Monday before lawyers make their closing arguments.

Donald Trump insisted on Truth Social on Saturday that “all” of his trials have been “concoted” by Joe Biden to thwart him ahead of the 2024 election in November.

He insisted, in all caps, that the trials are a “POLITICAL WITCH HUNT.”

Former President Donald Trump is taking credit for lower insulin prices, despite the fact that they occurred under Joe Biden’s presidency.

On Saturday, Trump took to TruthSocial to celebrate the lower prices — and himself.

“Low INSULIN PRICING was gotten for millions of Americans by me, and the Trump Administration, not by Crooked Joe Biden. He had NOTHING to do with it,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “It was all done long before he so sadly entered office. All he does is try to take credit for things done by others, in this case, ME!”

In reality, insulin prices are lower in part thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed under Biden’s administration.

The act introduced provisions intended to reduce the price of medicine for seniors, including capping the price of insulin at $35 per month for Medicare recipients.

Biden has also pushed for a universal insulin cap that would cover more Americans.

Right-wing media host Sean Hannity is running with an obvious troll post highlighted by Judge Juan Merchan, who adjudicated Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York, claiming, erroneously, it was evidence of a fixed trial.

“This is, by far, a very alarming development,” Hannity said. “Was the fixing from the beginning? Is this cause for a mistrial?”

It is not cause for a mistrial, as the trial is already over.

The post in question was made on social media by someone describing themselves as a “professional s***poster.”

“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted. Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!” the post said.

Judge Merchan mentioned the post in a letter he sent to attorneys involved in the trial, noting that the post was “labeled as one week old,” meaning it was made after the verdict had already been announced.

Social media users were quick to point out to Hannity that the social media post had been debunked.

Even still it didn’t stop the usual rogues gallery of MAGA coathangers from running with it as though it was irrefutable evidence of the former president’s innocence.

Right-wing provacatuer Laura Loomer also incorrectly claimed that the former president could be granted a mistrial, and Representaitve Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed the “fix was in from the beginning.”

In May, Giuliani launched Rudy Coffee, a signature coffee line with politically-themed flavors like “Fighting for Justice” and “America’s Mayor.”

His partner in the venture is Burke Brands, the South Florida-based maker and distributor of Don Pablo coffee, The Daily Beast reported.

Former House Democrat Tulsi Gabbard appears to have thrown herself into consideration for secretary of state or defense secretary in a potential Donald Trump administration.

Gabbard, who has reportedly met with the Trump campaign in recent months, was asked on the Wisconsin-based radio show The Regular Joe Show on Thursday whether there was “one thing” she could do that “would be serving the country in the best way possible” if Trump is elected president.
