The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot on the U.S. Capitol has unanimously recommended that Mark Meadows, former chief of staff under President Donald Trump, be charged with criminal contempt of Congress. Meadows claimed that the committee was pressuring him to reveal information protected by executive privilege. Last week, days after promising to cooperate with the panel’s investigation, Meadows withdrew his cooperation and thereby violated Congress’s subpoena. On Monday evening, the committee voted 9 to 0 to recommend Meadows be charged with criminal contempt. The penalty for this...

Former President Donald Trump sent out a strange tweet wishing a happy Father’s Day “to all, including the Radical Left, RINOs, and other Losers of the world. Hopefully, eventually, everyone will come together!” Trump, who is still banned from Twitter, emailed this message to his supporters who went on to share it on various platforms.

This message comes at a time when it is thought that Trump is preparing to create his own social media platform. The Trump O...

Some prosecutors believe President Donald Trump will pose a flight risk after he leaves office on Jan. 20, given that he will likely face criminal charges, possibly related to his role in inciting the violent mob at the Capitol. While the Senate remains unlikely to convict Trump of the charge of incitement of violence brought by the House in their articles of impeachment due to the number of sitting Republicans that would be required to switch sides, Trump could still face charges at a lower level — particularly as he loses his presidential immunity. The attorney general for the District of Co...

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) has been criticized following the violent pro-Trump protest in D.C. Wednesday which left one woman dead, as his words and actions may have helped to incite the mob.
