A federal judge Tuesday denied Donald Trump’s request to move the New York hush money case to federal court, finding there is nothing in the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling that alters his view of the fact that the payments were “private, unofficial acts.” Last week, the former president’s attorneys sought to move the state case to federal court, an effort they previously lost, citing the Supreme Court’s decision this summer that granted immunity for...

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that former President Trump may not request to move his hush money criminal case to federal court after failing to show “good cause,” meaning the case will remain in New York state court. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said in a four-page order that the two reasons Trump offered as to why his case should be removed — that New York courts were biased against him and that his trial judge did not adequately review the issue of presidential immunity...

A federal judge in Manhattan on Tuesday rejected an effort by former President Donald Trump to remove his criminal hush money case to the federal courts, saying there is “nothing” in the Supreme Court‘s recent immunity decision that should allow for such a move. “Nothing in the Supreme Court’s opinion affects my previous conclusion that the hush money payments were private, unofficial acts, outside the bounds of executive authority,” wrote U.S. District Judge Alvin K....

Whistleblowers have told Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., that Secret Service personnel are "woefully unprepared" and given inadequate training to properly protect candidates – including former President Trump – in new claims regarding the assassination attempt against the Republican presidential nominee. Hawley appeared on "Jesse Watters Primetime" Tuesday night to reveal whistleblowers' claims that when Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents were reassigned to work on the...

The US has charged Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and several other prominent figures in the Palestinian group in connection with its deadly attack in Israel on 7 October last year. The justice department said it was indicting six Hamas members with seven charges, including the murder of dozens of US citizens, conspiracy to finance terrorism and use of weapons of mass destruction. The criminal complaint covers decades of alleged attacks by Hamas, as well as last October's unprecedented assault...

Accepting his party’s nomination in 1984, Democrat Walter Mondale vowed to cut the deficit with a memorable line about the tough medicine either he or Ronald Reagan would have to administer to the country. “Let’s tell the truth,” Mondale said, “Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He won’t tell you. I just did.” Now, as Labor Day marks the final stretch of another presidential campaign, it’s time for another round of truth-telling. The best possible outcome in November for the...

President Biden’s reaction to the Hamas execution of six hostages, including American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, was emblematic of the incoherent mess he has made of U.S. policy toward Israel since the terrorist group massacred over 1,200 in the October 7 attacks. In a Sunday statement following the Israeli discovery of the bodies, Biden warned, “Make no mistake, Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes.” Yet by the next morning, Biden told reporters that Israeli prime minister...

Republicans are alarmed that former President Trump’s support among women is deteriorating in the polls and that his efforts to stop the bleeding don’t appear to be working. While Republicans are no strangers to the gender gap between the parties in presidential elections, they now face a “chasm” between male and female voters. Republican pollster Whit Ayres says “it’s going to be a challenge” for Trump to chip away at Harris’s big lead among women. “The real challenge right now for...
