The prosecutors are trying to warn U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon off potential jury instructions they say rest on a “fundamentally flawed legal premise.”

Lawyers for Donald Trump are renewing arguments that he is immune from prosecution for official acts taken in the White House.

In exchange for Alex Saab, President Nicolás Maduros will free some or all of the at least 10 U.S. citizens who remain imprisoned in Venezuela.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit rejected Donald Trump’s sweeping claims that presidential immunity shields him from liability in lawsuits brought by police officers and Democratic lawmakers.

FBI Director Christopher Wray is making a fresh push to Congress to authorize a spy program that Biden administration says is vital to preventing terrorism, catching spies and disrupting cyberattacks.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon pushed back several pretrial deadlines in a ruling Friday but left the May 2024 trial date intact.

Trump’s lawyers filed a long-shot motion citing comments Tanya Chutkan made in sentencing hearings related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. The Justice Department says the Trump team took her comments out of context.

The Justice Department says a witness in the federal prosecution of Donald Trump over the hoarding of classified documents switched lawyers last month and provided new information that implicated the former president.

Donald Trump earlier this month was informed by Jack Smith’s office that the former president was a target of the Justice Department’s investigation of efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The May 20, 2024, trial date is a compromise between a request from prosecutors for December and a request from defense lawyers to schedule it after the 2024 presidential election.

Such a letter can precede an indictment and is used to advise individuals that prosecutors have evidence linking them to a crime.

Donald Trump’s valet, Walt Nauta, has entered a not guilty plea to charges that he helped the former president hide classified documents from federal authorities.

In his first televised interview since his arraignment last week on federal charges, the former president acknowledged that he personally went through boxes of documents taken from the White House to Mar-a-Lago.

Pence’s grand jury appearance in Washington is a milestone in the Justice Department’s investigation into the conversations and events preceding the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

A federal appeals court on Wednesday moved former Vice President Mike Pence closer to appearing before a grand jury investigating efforts to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election.
