Biden team worried about next big embarrassment to hit president 

By Haisten Willis | Colorado Springs Gazette The Biden campaign fears that the results of a classified documents investigation could lead to embarrassing information, and possibly photos, that could damage President Joe Biden's reelection chances. Biden's aides believe special counsel Robert Hur's investigation won't lead to any criminal charges, according to Axios, but unflattering details and photos could still lead to political damage. Former President Donald Trump is facing felony charges related to his handling of classified documents. Soon after his Mar-a-Lago home was raided in August 2022, Biden weighed in by asking aloud how "anyone could be that irresponsible." READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTE

Speaker: ‘The President has executive authority right now’ to act on border crisis

By Jack Birle | Colorado Springs Gazette House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) placed blame for the border crisis on President Joe Biden, insisting the president should act on solving the crisis as Senate negotiators are slated to release the text of their proposed border security bill on Sunday. Johnson put the ball in Biden's court to act on the border, arguing he has the authority to enact measures the House GOP has pursued through its H.R. 2 bill, which has not been considered by the Senate while speaking on NBC News's Meet the Press on Sunday. "I have been saying what the requirements are to fix the problem. I don't care if they call the legislation HR 2 or not. What we're saying is you have to stem the flow. The President has executive authority right no...

Haley takes the gloves off with Trump, but is it ‘too little, too late’?

By Christian Datoc | Colorado Springs Gazette COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA — Nikki Haley has a message for former President Donald Trump: "I'm not going anywhere." Haley, Trump's ambassador to the United Nations and the sole candidate standing in his way to a third straight Republican presidential nomination, is in the midst of a monthlong, all-or-nothing effort to win the primary in her home state of South Carolina. And she's finally taking pointed shots at Trump's age, character, and overall fitness for office along the way. Haley spent the early months of her campaign focusing attacks on Trump for ballooning the national debt while in office. However, since coming in second place in New Hampshire, she has pulled a page out of President Joe Biden's own playb...

While talking with families of fallen soldiers, Biden reportedly repeated false story his son, Beau, was killed in action in Iraq By Haisten Willis | Colorado Springs Gazette President Joe Biden participated Friday in the dignified transfer of three U.S. service members who were killed last weekend in Jordan.

Trump’s Steele dossier complaint dismissed by London high court

By Misty Severi | The Gazette A London judge dismissed former President Donald Trump’s privacy lawsuit against former British spy Christopher Steele on Thursday, where Trump accused Steele of making “false and scandalous claims” in a dossier. British Judge Karen Steyn said there were "no compelling reasons" to let the lawsuit go to trial and that Trump had allowed many years to pass without legal action to “vindicate his reputation in this jurisdiction” since he was made aware of the dossier’s existence in January of 2017. The lawsuit, which was filed against Steele and his consultancy company Orbis Business Intelligence in October, focused on a 35-page dossier that included unverified allegations about Trump and the 2016 presidential election.

Don’t expect re-run of 2016 to stop Trump’s nomination, RNC party leaders say

By Rachel Schilke | Colorado Springs Gazette Republican Party leaders will not allow history to repeat of a showdown at the Republican National Convention to prevent former President Donald Trump from becoming the party's nominee. The party experienced a last-ditch effort from a group of delegates in 2016 trying to prevent Trump from being selected for the Republican presidential nomination. However, party members are not expecting any outbursts from delegates at this year's convention, held July 15-18. “It didn’t happen then, and it’s not going to happen now,” David Bossie, a Trump ally and RNC member from Maryland, told NBC News. “There is no one who is going to attempt to do that. ... There’s none of that conversation that has happen...

Biden: jobs report ‘proof’ economy ‘strongest in the world’

By Haisten Willis | Denver Gazette President Joe Biden called the United States economy the "strongest in the world' as the January jobs report showed the country adding 353,000 jobs last month. "Today, we saw more proof [of the economy's strength], with another month of strong wage gains and employment gains of over 350,000 in January, continuing the strong growth from last year," Biden said. "Our economy has created 14.8 million jobs since I took office, unemployment has been under 4% for two full years now, and inflation has been at the pre-pandemic level of 2% over the last half year." The economy beat expectations in January and added 353,000 jobs, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday morning, showing that the labor ...

If Punxsutawney Phil is correct, goodbye snow and cold

By Asher Notheis | Colorado Springs Gazette Get ready for warmer weather! Punxsutawney Phil made his annual appearance on Groundhog Day and predicted that the United States will not see another six weeks of winter. Thousands gathered at Gobbler’s Knob, located in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, early Friday morning to see if the iconic groundhog would see his shadow. This year's ceremony marked the 138th Groundhog Day celebration. Groundhog Day consists of Punxsutawney Phil making a public appearance at Gobbler's Knob, during which it is predicted that a longer winter can be expected if Phil sees his shadow. Traditionally, Phil will not see his shadow if the weather is cloudy, thus blocking the sun and preventing shadows being created from it. The hist...

In bipartisan effort, House passes bill to deport illegal immigrants who receive DUIs

By Peyton Sorosinski | GAZETTE.COM The House approved a Republican-proposed bill Thursday with support from 59 Democrats that would indefinitely deport undocumented immigrants who are charged with driving under the influence in the United States. "In the United States, someone dies in a crash with an impaired driver every 45 minutes. I lost two of my young newlywed constituents to an illegal immigrant driving under the influence of alcohol," Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL), who brought forth the legislation, told Fox News. While it was primarily Republicans in favor of the measure, the final tally of votes was 274-150. All Alabama House Republicans voted in support of the bill, and the state's lone Democratic Rep. Terri Sewell opposed it, 1819 News&...
