    New York Times: “In the hours after the new charges became public, Mr. Trump, whose advisers have been blunt that he must win the election to overcome his legal challenges, highlighted the stakes for him of the 2024 election.”

    “He suggested in an interview with a right-wing news site that if he is elected, he will use the powers of the presidency to insulate himself from legal accountability on the documents case and the other inquiry being conducted by Mr. Smith into Mr. Trump’s efforts to retain power after his 2020 election loss.”

    Meanwhile, the Des Moines Register notes former Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) said Trump is running for another term in the White House for one reason: “to stay out of prison.”



    Jack Smith has a 97% conviction rate.

    If he does go to prison, this will be looked back upon as a presage of things to come.

    Selective enforcement is not justice. Trump now has all the support he needs, everyone knows they would be next.

    Who else refused to give classified information back and didn't face prosecution? Name one person.

    Trump can be president from prison, but no phone, no social media, and one phone call a day. I'd put him in segregation for his own safety, too, possibly in the butt wiggler wing—pedos are the less violent inmates.

    Nikki Haley told CBS News that if the new accusations made against Donald Trump are true, “it’s incredibly dangerous to our national security.”

    Said Haley: “It doesn’t matter if you’re Republican or Democrat. You shouldn’t be erasing anything unless you have something to hide.”

    Trump Compares Prosecutors to Nazis in Deranged Post-Indictment Statement

    Donald Trump predictably cried “election interference” on Tuesday—while also likening his prosecutors to Nazis—just after a grand jury returned a third indictment against the former president. This time, Trump was charged for his alleged attempt to unlawfully overturn the 2020 election.

    Shortly after news of the indictment broke, his campaign released an unhinged statement claiming that the entire effort is simply a way for his opponents to derail his 2024 presidential bid. “Why did they wait two and a half years to bring these fake charges, right in the middle of President Trump’s winning campaign for 2024?” the statement rhetorically asks. “The answer is, election interference!”

    Trump once again referred to these investigations as “witch hunts,” even going as far as to compare the investigators to Nazis. “The lawlessness of these persecutions of President Trump and his supporters is reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the former Soviet Union, and other authoritarian, dictatorial regimes,” the statement said.

    Financial Turmoil: Trump Campaign's $108K Payment to Melania's Hairstylist

    In the first months of 2023, a pro-Trump super PAC, Save America, came under scrutiny for paying Melania Trump's hairstylist, Hervé Pierre Braillard, a staggering $108,000. The payment was listed as "strategy consulting" in their operating expenses report, raising eyebrows about the nature of the transaction.
