Under the leadership of Alina Habba, the legal team representing Donald Trump is preparing to contest the $83.3 million jury verdict that favored E. Jean Carroll. A newly discovered alleged conflict of interest between Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, and Manhattan federal judge Lewis Kaplan forms the premise of their appeal.

Noem, speaking on “America Reports,” stated, “I’ll drive in more razor wire from South Dakota if I have to, for [Abbott] to do his job.” She underscored the role of governors as commanders-in-chief of their National Guards, emphasizing the weight of this…
In a developing situation at the Texas border, there’s a brewing tension between state and federal forces, particularly in Eagle Pass. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has voiced strong concerns over this escalating situation, making a bold statement that suggests a collusion between President Biden’s administration and criminal cartels controlling parts of the border. In an interview with Fox News, Paxton expressed uncertainty about President Biden’s forthcoming actions following a Supreme Court decision. This decision indicates that the federal government could remove razor wire in Shelby Park, a state-controlled area, without explicitly stopping Governor Greg Abbott from reinstating it. Paxton…
