Rudy Giuliani called on a Georgia state judge Thursday to schedule a hearing over a motion to throw out his criminal indictment on election interference charges. The demand comes nearly four months after the motion was originally filed on Sept. 8. Giuliani pleaded not guilty to a set of charges surrounding the broad Georgia election...
Republican Presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis will appear in back-to-back town hall events in Iowa on Thursday night. The town hall events will provide Haley and DeSantis, who have battled for second place behind former President Trump during the entirety of their campaigns, an opportunity to win over voters in the Hawkeye State...
It's the border bill that could cause a government shutdown. Congressional Republicans are threatening to shut down the government if Democrats don’t pass House Resolution — or H.R. 2 — a sweeping bill that would drastically restrict the asylum process while establishing a vast new surveillance system to forcibly freeze regional migration and crack down on the...
