Hannity explained that the debate was supposed to run from 9 to 10:30 PM, but it went past that time, leading to Newsom's team pulling him out. DeSantis noted, 'I was just kind of sitting there. I didn't know what to do.'

Leon, a George W. Bush appointee, accused the administration of offering "shifting" arguments for why the $400 million project is not subject to congressional oversight. DoJ lawyers have argued that the project is covered by a federal law that allows the president "to undertake 'alteration' and 'improvement' of the White House, 'as the President may determine.'"

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., and others had asked the high court to let New York use its existing congressional map for this fall's election, even though a state court said the map unlawfully diluted the voting power of Black and Latino residents. The emergency request was backed by the Trump administration, which has pushed red states to rejigger maps to improve Republicans' chances of keeping control of Congress.

On the [government's] reading, the president would have had no need ever to seek the Senate's advice and consent for his [US attorney] appointments. Whenever there was a fair prospect of the Senate's rejecting his preferred nominee, the president could have appointed that individual unilaterally to serve ad infinitum. It is unthinkable that such an obvious means for the executive to expand its power would have been overlooked by Congress.

The prosecution of SGO furthers their collective false narrative that President Trump did not actually lose the 2020 election. Attorneys for the company said the decision was prompted by Trump's demands to prosecute his perceived enemies and his 'mantra' that Smartmatic helped rig the 2020 U.S. presidential election won by Joe Biden.

President Trump's firing of IGs and removal of acting IGs, and then the subsequent appointment of some very political folks as IGs ... does raise the specter of a politicized inspector general community," one of those fired watchdogs, Mark Lee Greenblatt, told Nextgov/FCW.

REPRESENTATIVE MAGGIE GOODLANDER (D-NH): Mr. Colby, concerns have been raised on a bipartisan basis in this hearing about your commitment to the truth, and I want to give you an opportunity to truthfully answer a very simple question, which is: Who won the 2020 presidential election?

The Washington Roundtable discusses Donald Trump's threats to "nationalize" elections in fifteen states, the recent F.B.I. raid to seize 2020 voting records at an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia, and the ways in which the Administration might meddle with a free and fair vote in 2026. Their guest, Richard Hasen, is the director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project at U.C.L.A.'s School of Law.

The suggestion, in which Trump did not specify which places he was referring to, amounts to an invitation to contradict the Constitution, given that it establishes in Section IV of Article I that in the United States, state laws govern elections, conceived as a decentralized process for which officials of both parties are responsible in the thousands of districts into which the vast map of the country is divided.
