Donald Trump Jr doesn't remember anything when under oath
Donald Trump Jr.'s testimony in the New York civil fraud trial against the Trump Organization has raised questions and garnered attention due to his repeated claims of not recalling key details. Despite his significant role in the Trump business empire, he maintained a hazy memory of the events in question, particularly concerning documents that assigned unrealistic values to real estate holdings. Trump Jr.'s attempt to distance himself from these documents was evident as he frequently responded with, “I don't recall,” which is typically more acceptable in criminal trials. As the trial unfolds, the potential consequences of this strategy remain uncertain, and it has left many observers wondering about the broader legal strategy employed by the Trump family. Eric Trump is expected to soon testify, and both Donald Trump and Ivanka Trump are anticipated to appear in court next week.
Trump's CURRENT lawyer on possibility of Trump in JAIL
The possibility of former President Donald Trump spending a night or a weekend in jail is getting more attention as he seemingly is incapable of abiding by the terms of his gag orders. The topic has been raised by several legal experts, including Trump's former lawyer Ty Cobb. Trump's current lawyer, Alina Habba, was asked about this on Newsmax and dismissed the idea, emphasizing that they are not considering the possibility of Trump's getting incarcerated. Some believe that Trump is protected by the Secret Service and that he hasn't committed any criminal or civil wrongs, while others see these arguments as missing the point since he can’t act with impunity. The potential impact of Trump's incarceration is hard to predict, but it could certainly help boost his support in the Republican primary as the indictments have arguably done.

SHOCK POLL: RFK Jr 22% in 3-way race vs Trump & Biden
A recent poll has generated intrigue by revealing that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. commands 22% support in a three-way race against Donald Trump and Joe Biden. This Quinnipiac University poll challenges the conventional wisdom that an independent run by Kennedy would predominantly hurt Biden, as the data suggests that Kennedy may siphon more votes from the Republican nominee, causing anxiety among the right wing. Kennedy's switch from running as a Democrat to an independent has broadened his appeal, particularly to Republican voters who may have been undecided or disenchanted with their candidate, making him a potent third-party contender. This shift in dynamics underscores the evolving influence of third-party candidates on the political landscape and the need for both parties to reassess the potential impact of Kennedy's candidacy in the upcoming election.

Republicans TURN on fellow Republican Senator on Senate floor
The Senate witnessed an extraordinary confrontation within the Republican caucus as Senator Tommy Tuberville continues to object to military promotions due to abortion-related issues. The objection has held up more than 300 Department of Defense nominations, prompting concerns about national security and the impact on the careers of servicemen and women. Senator Lindsey Graham voiced his criticism, highlighting the potential damage to the military's readiness and accusing Tuberville of using his position to push personal beliefs on cultural and social matters. Meanwhile, Senator Mitt Romney expressed his concerns about the abuse of senators' powers to hold up military promotions, emphasizing the importance of using this power responsibly and avoiding harm to the capabilities and well-being of the military. Despite this confrontation, it remains uncertain whether this issue will be resolved anytime soon.
