President Trump is testing pressure points within the GOP with a series of particularly bold moves that have shown just where some Republicans are willing to draw a line on certain issues.

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro on Saturday slammed President Trump’s effort to receive a $230 million payment from the Department of Justice (DOJ) as compensation for the various federal probes into his conduct. “I think that it’s rife with conflicts of interest,” Shapiro told NewsNation’s Batya Ungar-Sargon. “I cannot see a world in which that does...
