    Appeals Court Reopens Path to Dismiss Trump’s Hush Money Conviction

    A federal appeals court has reopened a potential path to dismissing President Donald Trump’s controversial hush money conviction, a major development that could upend the first criminal verdict ever rendered against a U.S. president.

    On Thursday, a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit revived Trump’s bid to move the case out of New York state court and into federal court—where he plans to argue that the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity shields him from prosecution for actions connected to his time in office.

    The appeals panel said it “cannot be confident” that the lower court properly evaluated Trump’s arguments before rejecting his request last year.

    “The court bypassed what we consider to be important issues bearing on the ultimate issue of good cause,” the panel wrote.

    The judges did not express an opinion on whether Trump’s strategy should prevail, but sent the case back to the lower court for further review.

    “We leave it to the able and experienced District Judge to decide whether to solicit further briefing from the parties or hold a hearing to help it resolve these issues,” the panel added.

    Trump’s team has long maintained that the Manhattan prosecution was politically motivated and orchestrated by Democratic officials seeking to damage his 2024 campaign. The conviction—34 counts of falsifying business records—stemmed from what prosecutors described as a “hush money” payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Trump has denied the alleged affair and consistently argued that the payments were legal expenses.

    The move to federal court, if successful, could provide a new venue for Trump to challenge what many conservatives view as an abuse of prosecutorial power and a double standard in the justice system. The Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision in July strengthened Trump’s position, establishing that presidents are entitled to significant constitutional protections against criminal prosecution for official acts.

    Trump Offers Explanation In First Comments Since Democrats’ Election Success

    President Donald Trump offered an explanation on Wednesday morning after Democrat candidates swept the 2025 elections.

    In his first remarks since the elections, President Donald Trump said that the ongoing government shutdown was partly to blame for Republican losses on Election Day.

    Trump told reporters during a breakfast with GOP lawmakers at the White House that election night on Tuesday “was not expected to be a victory,” and provided the 36-day government shutdown as one of two possible reasons.

    “I think, if you read the pollsters, the shutdown was a big factor,” Trump said. “Negative for the Republicans, and that was a big factor.”

    Trump added: “And they say that I wasn’t on the ballot and was the biggest factor. But I don’t know about that. But I was honored that they said that.”

    His remarks come after Democrats won resoundingly in multiple states on Tuesday, with exit polls showing economic worries were very much on the minds of voters.

    “I don’t think it was good for Republicans,” Trump said of the election results. “I don’t think it’s good. I’m not sure it was good for anybody.”

    Some major losses for Republicans included the New York City mayoral race, and contests for governor in New Jersey and Virginia. Democrats also secured another expected win in California, where voters approved a new congressional map that is designed to help their party win five more U.S. House seats in next year’s midterm elections.

    On the morning following the defeats, Trump called on lawmakers to bring the 36-day government shutdown, now the longest on record, to an end. 

    “We must get the government open,” Trump said, going on to push Republican senators to end the filibuster.

    “It’s time for Republicans to do what they have to do,” he said. “Terminate the filibuster.”

    Anti-Trump Judge Boasberg Hit With Articles of Impeachment

    Just in…

    Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) isn’t backing down. On Tuesday, he filed impeachment articles against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg — the same judge who signed off on subpoenas in the secretive “Arctic Frost” probe targeting Republican lawmakers.

    “Chief Judge Boasberg has compromised the impartiality of the judiciary and created a constitutional crisis,” Gill told Fox News Digital. “He is shamelessly weaponizing his power against his political opponents… Judge Boasberg was an accomplice in the egregious Arctic Frost scandal where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators.”

    Gill’s impeachment resolution hits Boasberg with one count of abuse of power, accusing him of authorizing “frivolous nondisclosure orders” that blocked telecom companies from alerting lawmakers their phone records were being subpoenaed.

    Documents released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) show that Verizon followed those gag orders — while AT&T refused. Both the subpoenas and the gag orders bore Boasberg’s signature, igniting outrage from GOP senators like Ted Cruz, who called the operation “worse than Watergate.”

    The judge’s defenders point out that the Stored Communications Act gives him discretion in approving such orders — but it’s unclear what evidence Boasberg reviewed before granting them.

    Republicans say the surveillance trampled on the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause, which protects lawmakers from law enforcement over their legislative work. Legal experts note that protection isn’t absolute — and the balance of power between Congress, the courts, and the executive branch is now back in the spotlight.

    This isn’t Gill’s first attempt to oust Boasberg. He threatened impeachment earlier this year when Boasberg halted Trump-era migrant deportation flights but backed off after GOP leaders said it wasn’t the right moment.

    Report: Jack Smith Quietly Plotting ‘Counterattack’ On Trump

    Jack Smith, the special counsel who tried to bring down Donald Trump over classified documents, is still talking tough — even after his cases fell apart.

    According to The New York Times, Smith made the remarks last month during a discussion at University College London with former Justice Department prosecutor Andrew Weissmann. Smith said the evidence demonstrated Trump’s “willfulness”—a key legal element that distinguished Trump’s case from the separate investigation into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents, which resulted in no charges.

    “The rule of law allows for different outcomes when the facts are different,” Smith said. “One of the major differences between the two cases is the obstructive conduct in the case that I investigated.”

    He explained that to prove illegal possession of classified documents, prosecutors must show the defendant knowingly broke the law.

    “In my particular case, we had tons of evidence of willfulness,” Smith said, pointing to Trump’s repeated public claims that the documents were his and his refusal to return them after investigators demanded their return.

    Smith even cited Trump’s social media posts as proof of guilt — saying Trump’s insistence that the documents were his somehow showed “willfulness.” Critics say that sounds more like criminalizing free speech than proving a crime.

    Trump fired back on Truth Social: “He is a CRIMINAL AND SHOULD BE IN JAIL. A MAJOR LOWLIFE AND FAILURE.”

    But the facts tell a different story: Biden walked free, Trump’s case got tossed, and Smith’s record of political prosecutions is in tatters.

    Both of Smith’s cases have since been dismissed. A federal judge threw out the classified documents case in July 2024, and Smith dropped election-related charges after Trump’s November victory. The Justice Department’s own guidance bars the indictment of a sitting president, and the Supreme Court expanded presidential immunity in a ruling last year.

    Meanwhile, congressional Republicans have referred Smith to the Justice Department for allegedly overstepping his authority by subpoenaing metadata from lawmakers’ phones during his probe into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

    Illinois Man Charged After Repeated Calls For Trump’s Execution

    Federal authorities say an Illinois man repeatedly posted videos calling for President Donald Trump’s execution, prompting a Secret Service investigation and a federal charge for making interstate threats.

    A criminal complaint filed Oct. 31 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and unsealed Monday identifies the defendant as Trent Schneider, 57, of Winthrop Harbor. He is charged with making a true threat to injure another person in interstate commerce.

    Authorities say Schneider posted violent videos and memes on Instagram as his home faced foreclosure. In a video posted Oct. 16, the complaint alleges he looked into the camera and said, “People like me have suffered real f—ing crimes from f—ing judges, doctors, lawyers, police. They all should be killed. All of them should be executed for what they’ve done.”

    The affidavit quotes Schneider continuing, “They need to be killed. They need to be executed, ok? They are frauds, ok? I think it’s time. I’ve waited long enough. I’m going to get some guns. I know where I can get a lot of f—ing guns and I am going to take care of business myself. I’m tired of all you f—ing frauds. People need to f—ing die and people are going to die. F— all of you, especially you, Trump. You should be executed.”

    Prosecutors contend Schneider reposted the same video nearly 20 times, often tagging Trump Tower Chicago; each post included the caption: “THIS IS NOT A THREAT!!! … AFTER LOSING EVERYTHING and My House Auction date is 11.04.2025 @realDonaldTrump SHOULD BE EXECUTED!!!”

    A viewer in Florida reported one post to authorities, which led the Secret Service to identify Schneider’s Instagram account and open an investigation. Agents visited his Winthrop Harbor home on Oct. 22 and observed cameras on tripods in the driveway. Schneider reportedly came outside, ordered officers off his property and later posted a video showing them leaving, again with the execution caption.

    The complaint notes prior encounters with law enforcement: Schneider was interviewed in 2022 over violent posts targeting public officials and later arrested that year after allegedly threatening to “shoot up” a T-Mobile store. A court found him unfit to stand trial in 2023.

    According to prosecutors, Schneider’s social-media anger appeared linked to his home’s impending foreclosure, set for auction on Nov. 4. He allegedly referenced “losing everything” and blamed judges and other officials he labeled “frauds.”

    CBS Chicago reported the Secret Service enlisted the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and a SWAT team to execute arrest and search warrants; Schneider was taken into custody without incident.

    If convicted on the federal charge, he faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, the Justice Department says.

    Report: Trump Administration Planning New Mission In Mexico Against Cartels

    The Trump administration has launched detailed planning for a bold new mission to send American troops and intelligence officers into Mexico to dismantle violent drug cartels, according to two current U.S. officials and two former senior officials familiar with the effort.


    Initial training for this potential operation — which would include ground operations inside Mexico — is already underway, though a full deployment is not, at this moment, imminent. The officials say the scope is still being debated and no final decision has been made.
    Under the proposed plan, U.S. troops — many drawn from the elite Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) — would operate under Title 50 status (the U.S. intelligence framework) and coordinate with officers from the Central Intelligence Agency.


    This would mark a sharp departure from previous administrations, which generally confined U.S. efforts in Mexico to support roles (advising local police or army units) rather than direct action. The new approach signals that the Trump team views cartels as an insurgent threat to U.S. national security — not simply a law-enforcement challenge.


    If green-lit, the mission is expected to remain largely covert, without public fanfare. The administration is framing this as part of an “all-of-government” approach to protect American communities from cartel violence and drug flows.
    Key to the plan will be drone strikes targeting drug laboratories and cartel leadership. Some of these drones require operators on the ground, hence the need for special forces and intelligence personnel inside Mexico.


    This push builds off an earlier move: the State Department designated six Mexican cartels — along with MS‑13 and the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua — as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. That step unlocked sweeping legal authorities for U.S. spy agencies and military units to go after their networks.


    Furthermore, President Trump has publicly acknowledged authorizing covert CIA action inside Venezuela and has signaled that land-based strikes on cartel targets could follow.


    The reported move into Mexico thus reflects a two-front strategy: continuing pressure on Venezuela-based narcotics networks while now looking to tackle the land routes and infrastructure of cartels operating in North America. According to the officials, both the intelligence community and military assess that the “hemisphere war” on narco-terror must intensify — and that the U.S. has both the sovereign interest and legal authorities to act.

    Context on the Venezuela Campaign

    Here are some of the key developments and background on the recent Trump administration effort against drug trafficking and narcoterrorism in Venezuela.

    • In early September 2025, U.S. forces struck a vessel off the coast of Venezuela carrying illegal narcotics. The administration described the target as operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization.
    • In October 2025, President Trump announced that another strike resulted in six “narcoterrorists” killed aboard a boat allegedly trafficking drugs from Venezuela toward the U.S.
    • The administration formally told Congress that the U.S. is now in a “non-international armed conflict” with certain drug cartel organizations, marking a shift in legal posture from purely interdiction to armed confrontation.
    • The region’s deployment has included U.S. Navy warships in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, paired with surveillance platforms and special operations forces.
    • The Trump team argues this is justified by the scale of the drug-flow threat: ships carrying huge loads of narcotics destined for U.S. streets and deaths — making the fight one of national security, not just crime-control.
    • On the flip side, critics argue there are serious legal, sovereignty and human-rights concerns: whether strikes in international waters or even near foreign shores are consistent with U.S. and international law when the targets are suspected smugglers rather than declared enemy combatants.

    Trump Responds To Reports Of Impending Military Strikes Against Venezuela

    The White House refuted media reports suggesting that President Donald Trump’s administration was poised to strike military targets within Venezuela. 

    Although Trump has signaled for weeks that he’s prepared to launch land operations against Venezuela, the White House cast doubt on the new media reports.

    “Unnamed sources don’t know what they’re talking about,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a Friday statement to Fox News. “Any announcements regarding Venezuela policy would come directly from the President.”

    The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the Trump administration had identified military targets within Venezuela that are being used to transport drugs, although the news outlet said that Trump hadn’t formalized a decision on whether he would launch land strikes against these targets.

    Trump told reporters Friday on Air Force One a decision hadn’t been made about whether he would strike military targets within Venezuela, Bloomberg News reported. 

    Additionally, the Miami Herald reported Friday that the administration had decided to conduct strikes against these military installations within Venezuela that could come “in a matter of days or even hours.”

    Both the Journal and the Miami Herald cited anonymous sources familiar with the plans. 

    The Herald reported that the pending strikes were part of a larger effort the Trump administration is initiating to crack down on the Cartel de los Soles, which Attorney General Pam Bondi has said Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro heads up.

    The Trump administration does not recognize Maduro as a legitimate head of state, and the administration has increased pressure to remove him from power.

    Michael Wolff Sues Melania Trump Over Legal Threat Against His Epstein Connection Claims

    Author Michael Wolff — known for his sensational and often controversial takes on former President Donald Trump — is now suing former First Lady Melania Trump after she warned of legal action over his remarks linking her to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

    Wolff, who has a long history of making provocative claims about the Trump family, accused the Trumps of “threatening those who speak against them.”

    The dispute stems from a since-retracted story published by The Daily Beast in July, based on an interview with Wolff. The outlet later admitted the piece “did not meet editorial standards” and issued an apology after Melania Trump’s legal team challenged “the headline and framing.”

    Despite the outlet’s own acknowledgment of its failure, Wolff is now claiming that the Trumps use legal action “to silence their speech, to intimidate their critics generally, and to extract unjustified payments and North Korean-style confessions and apologies,” according to the Associated Press.

    He filed his lawsuit on the very day Melania Trump’s lawyer had given him to retract his statements, apologize, and pay damages.

    The controversy began with comments Wolff made on The Daily Beast Podcast, hosted by Joanna Coles, during a discussion of Epstein’s connections to various public figures. Wolff alleged, without providing evidence, that “[Melania] was very involved in this Epstein relationship. There is this model thing, and she’s introduced by a model agent, both of whom Trump and Epstein are involved with. She’s introduced to Trump that way, Epstein knows her well.”

    Wolff later told Fox News Digital that he “had nothing to do with the article” that The Daily Beast published — a statement critics see as an attempt to distance himself from the outlet’s retracted piece.

    Melania Trump’s spokesperson, Nicholas Clemens, responded firmly:

    “First lady Melania Trump is proud to continue standing up to those who spread malicious and defamatory falsehoods as they desperately try to get undeserved attention and money from their unlawful conduct.”

    Wolff’s lawsuit now argues that it’s “fair to ask” whether Melania Trump “fits into the Epstein story,” and that he intends to put the Trumps under oath.

    The former first lady, however, has consistently fought back against false claims and media attacks since her time in the White House — and this latest case appears to be another chapter in a long line of media figures using innuendo to generate headlines at her expense.

    State Prosecutors Hint At Possible New Charges After Trump Commutes Santos Sentence

    Former New York Republican congressman George Santos walked free on Friday after President Donald Trump commuted his federal sentence — but the move may not end his legal ordeal. A local prosecutor on Long Island appeared to signal that state-level charges could be used to sidestep the president’s act of clemency.

    Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly said on the social platform X that her office had been “at the forefront” of the effort to “bring Santos to justice.” Donnelly’s jurisdiction includes part of the district Santos once represented in Congress.

    “I am proud of the work my office has done, and the conviction achieved in partnership with the U.S. Attorney’s office,” Donnelly said. “While the office cannot comment on ongoing investigations, suffice it to say that I remain focused on prosecuting political corruption wherever it exists regardless of political affiliation.”

    Her statement — vague but pointed — has fueled speculation that prosecutors could seek state charges mirroring the federal case, a move critics say would effectively undermine Trump’s commutation and keep Santos entangled in the court system despite his early release.

    A spokesperson for the Nassau County D.A.’s office declined to elaborate when asked whether an investigation was ongoing.

    Trump’s Message: “Unequal Justice” and Political Targeting

    Announcing the commutation on Truth Social, President Trump praised Santos’s “Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN,” suggesting the former lawmaker’s punishment was disproportionate.

    “George Santos was somewhat of a ‘rogue,’ but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren’t forced to serve seven years in prison,” Trump wrote.

    Santos had served just 84 days of a seven-year sentence after pleading guilty last summer to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Prosecutors had accused him of multiple financial and campaign-related offenses — including money laundering and falsifying records — but supporters argue that he faced harsher treatment because of his party affiliation and outspoken loyalty to Trump.

    Possible State Move Seen as Political

    Republicans are already warning that a state prosecution would represent another example of “lawfare” — the use of legal mechanisms to target political opponents.

    Santos himself, who had initially said he wouldn’t seek clemency before later telling interviewer Piers Morgan he’d accept “whatever the president is willing to give me,” has yet to comment on Donnelly’s remarks.

    For now, the former congressman is free — but the signals from Nassau County suggest that the battle between Trump’s justice reform message and New York’s prosecutors may be far from over.

    Former GOP Senator Jumps Into Race In Battleground State

    By

    Former U.S. Senator John E. Sununu officially entered the 2026 race in New Hampshire, campaigning to succeed retiring Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen. In his launch video, Sununu told voters: “Congress just seems loud, dysfunctional, even angry. I want to return to the Senate to help calm the waters.”

    Sununu served three terms in the House before defeating then-Governor Shaheen in 2002 to win the New Hampshire Senate seat; he lost the rematch in 2008. His return comes nearly two decades after leaving public office for the private sector.

    For Republicans, this is a golden opportunity. New Hampshire is the region’s only true swing state, and with Shaheen stepping aside, the seat opens up in a cycle where the GOP seeks not just to defend but expand its Senate majority. National Republicans believe Sununu brings strong name recognition and credibility in the Granite State.

    Still, the path is not automatic. Sununu must first secure the GOP nomination. His strongest competition comes from former Senator and Ambassador Scott Brown. Brown has leaned into the Trump-era base, emphasizing his alignment with President Trump’s agenda and fundraising heavily. He’s already called out Sununu’s past independent streak, pointing to his backing of John Kasich in 2016 and Nikki Haley in 2024, as well as his published op-ed branding Trump a “loser.”

    President Trump has remained officially neutral so far. While that leaves Sununu without an immediate endorsement booster, it also leaves room for maneuver. Reports suggest national Republican strategists view Sununu as the strongest candidate to flip the seat — a flip that would not only return it to the GOP column, but help lock in and expand the Senate majority Republicans are aiming for.

    Sununu emphasized the campaign will focus on Granite State issues such as healthcare affordability, energy costs, housing and border security, rather than Washington partisan squabbling. He said: “Maybe you’re surprised that I’m running for the Senate again. I’m a bit surprised myself. Why would anyone subject themselves to everything going on right now? Well, somebody has to step up and lower the temperature. Somebody has to get things done.”

    In short: the Republican field now features a heavy-hitter with deep state roots, strong ties to New Hampshire, and a credible path to winning in 2026. The GOP has the chance to turn this open seat into a win — but Sununu will have to navigate primary politics, reconcile his past positions with today’s Republican base, and secure key endorsements to prevail.

    Sununu & Trump: A Complicated Relationship

    Understanding Sununu’s past interaction with Trump helps clarify the dynamics at play in this race.

    Background of Sununu’s past opposition

    • In 2016, John E. Sununu served as a national co-chair for John Kasich’s presidential campaign. He did not support Trump’s 2016 bid.
    • In the 2024 Republican primaries, Sununu backed Nikki Haley rather than Trump.
    • He authored an op-ed published just ahead of the New Hampshire presidential primary with the blunt headline “Donald Trump is a loser.”

    Why this history matters

    • That record means Sununu begins the 2026 Senate contest with baggage in the Trump-aligned wing of the party. Some voters will view him skeptically if they believe loyalty to Trump is a key litmus test.
    • On the other hand, his independence also offers advantages: he can appeal to moderate Republicans, independents and swing voters in New Hampshire who may have turned off by raw partisan rhetoric. Because New Hampshire is a swing state, that broader appeal could be a strategic asset.

    Where Trump stands (so far)

    • Trump has not yet endorsed in the New Hampshire GOP Senate primary, leaving the field open.
    • While Trump once publicly signaled support for Sununu’s brother (former Governor Chris Sununu) in a possible Senate run, John E. Sununu must still make his case to the President and his base.
    • Some Republican strategists believe that Trump may be pragmatic — if Sununu emerges as the strongest candidate to flip the seat, the president could be willing to support him despite the earlier friction. As one adviser put it: “President Trump appreciates winners … and understands that John E. Sununu puts this race on the map for Republicans.”

    What Sununu must do

    • He needs to demonstrate to GOP primary voters that, despite his past, he is committed to key Republican priorities (border security, low taxes, energy independence, etc.).
    • He may need to secure Trump’s endorsement — or at least neutralize opposition from the pro-Trump base.
    • He needs to keep the campaign message centered on winning the seat back for Republicans, rather than internal Republican feuds.

    Why a Sununu Win Matters for Republicans

    • Seat flip potential. With Sen. Shaheen retiring, this is a rare open seat — and Republicans have a strong opportunity to convert it. Flipping a Democratic seat in a swing state is a direct path to expanding the GOP Senate majority.
    • Midterm dynamics favoring Republicans. Holding a 53-47 majority after the next election would give Republicans greater flexibility on legislation, confirmations, and oversight. A successful 2026 campaign in New Hampshire would contribute meaningfully to that goal.
    • Messaging advantage. A win in a northern swing state helps buck the narrative that Republicans can only win in deep red states. Demonstrating competitiveness in a place like New Hampshire strengthens the GOP’s appeal to independent and moderate voters.
    • National momentum. Winning this seat could provide momentum going into 2028 and reinforce the party’s strategy of targeting vulnerable Democratic seats. It also signals to donors and activists that the GOP has a winning blueprint beyond the usual battlegrounds.

    Bottom Line

    John E. Sununu’s entry into the 2026 Senate race is a major development for Republicans. He brings name recognition, prior Senate experience, and a base in a state that is both competitive and critical to national Senate math. The complications with his past stance toward Trump are real — but not necessarily insurmountable

    We’re so close to victory! Stand with Winsome Sears — give now to keep this campaign charging forward.
