Trump doubles down on call for Liz Cheney to be prosecuted; Cheney fires back: ‘lies’

By MIRANDA NAZZARO | The Hill Former President Trump doubled down Sunday on his push for former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) to be prosecuted over allegations she and the other Jan. 6 committee members purposely withheld testimony and details from their investigation into the former president’s actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. Trump, on Truth Social on Sunday, posted an article former Trump administration aide Kash Patel published in The Federalist last week in which Patel claimed Cheney and the House Jan. 6 committee “suppressed evidence” about the former president’s authorization of National Guard troops during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. “SHE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR WHAT SHE HAS DONE TO OUR COUNTRY! SHE ILLEGALLY DESTROYED THE ...

Donald Trump Jr. suggests MAGA is ‘the new Republican Party’

By Ryan King | New York Post Donald Trump Jr. mused that the “Make America Great Again” movement has replaced the old guard of the Republican Party. Trump Jr. hailed the recent leadership shakeup at the Republican National Committee backed by his father and argued that it illustrates the MAGA takeover. “I think the RNC is gonna be a little bit more of that old-school establishment. That Republican Party frankly no longer exists outside of the D.C. Beltway. But it takes a little while to make that transition,” Trump Jr. said on Newsmax’s “The Balance.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Cheney, J6 Committee suppressed exonerating evidence of Trump’s push for National Guard

By MOLLIE HEMINGWAY | The Federalist Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s January 6 Committee suppressed evidence that President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital, a previously hidden transcript obtained by The Federalist shows. Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops. In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview, which Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now. Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato’s first transcribed interview with the committee was conducted on January 2...

WATCH LIVE: State of the Union address and responses from Sen. Britt, Donald Trump

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice President Joe Biden is preparing to deliver his final State of the Union address of his first term to Congress.

‘They call it Super Tuesday for a reason,’ Trump says as he celebrates victory

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice Super Tuesday was just that, President Donald Trump said March 5 following Republican Party primary elections in 16 different states – 15 of which he won. “They call it Super Tuesday for a reason,” he said. “There’s never been anything so conclusive. This was an amazing night, an amazing day; it has been an incredible period of time.” A handful of opponents were whittled down to one by Super Tuesday, and by Wednesday morning his only remaining opponent, Nikki Haley, suspended her campaign.  In a post on Truth social, Trump called for Haley’s supporters to unify under him and “join the greatest movement in the history of our nation.” In Colorado, he won the Republican primary by 30 percentage points, taking victories in 57 of 64 coun...

‘Now that it’s over, it’s over,’ McConnell says in support of Trump following Haley exit

By BURGESS EVERETT | Politico Mitch McConnell is endorsing Donald Trump for president, a move that the Senate GOP leadermadeafter Trump's only main rival dropped out of the GOP primary. Despite their nonexistent relationships over the past three years, McConnell has always maintained he would support the eventual Republican nominee — and Nikki Haley's Wednesday suspension of her campaign unlocked McConnell's formal endorsement. His decision to formally back Trump amounts to a detente, however involuntary, after a rocky three years between the two men. It also illustrates that the two men may still need each other politically: McConnell is trying to take back the Senate majority for Republicans at the end of the year, while Trump is trying to win many of the same battleground ...
