Washington CNN —In her new book “Enough,” former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson paints the closing days of the Trump White House as even more chaotic and lawless than she previously disclosed in her shocking televised testimony last summer. “We killed Herman Cain,” Meadows told Hutchinson and asked for his wife’s phone number. Unlike White House communications director Alyssa Farah, who resigned on December 3, 2020, or deputy White House press secretary Sarah Matthews, who left on January 6, 2021, Hutchinson remained. In the summer of 2017, Trump’s first year in office, Hutchinson was an intern in Sen. Ted Cruz’s office. It turns out, Hutchinson writes, that she coordinated with Farah, who is now a CNN political commentator, telling her everything she knew.

Make no mistake, though: There's still a pretty solid chance he pulls it off and becomes the president again. Despite the 91 felony charges across multiple indictments, yeah, Trump obviously still has a shot at winning again. An extra 11,000 votes in Arizona, an extra 20,000 votes in Wisconsin, an extra 12,000 votes in Georgia, and Trump wins the 2020 election. That's fanciful thinking, and a second Trump presidency is well within the realm of the possible. Most significantly, Trump is running the table on a field of some pretty solid and rather electable Republican alternatives.

Rupert Murdoch is stepping down from his role at Fox and News Corp., according to a company statement. "For my entire professional life, I have been engaged daily with news and ideas, and that will not change," Murdoch wrote. AdvertisementAdvertisementIt's unclear how Murdoch's media empire will change post-Rupert. Lachlan Murdoch, 52, has been CEO since 2019 after the baton switched back and forth between him and his brother James as to who would succeed their father. And while he's privately criticized Trump, he's also said that the Fox audience supports the former president, suggesting he knows that supporting Trump is good for Fox's business, CNN has reported.

A strike by the United Auto Workers union against the Detroit automakers would help President Joe Biden and other politicians pick a side when it comes to organized labor, UAW President Shawn Fain said Wednesday night. Fain said the union is set to meet Thursday morning with GM, following a Wednesday afternoon meeting with Ford. Stellantis said Wednesday that it "intends to pass the UAW a counter offer to the members' economic demands by the end of the week." "He must know something we don't know.

Trump had his mug shot taken as he was booked at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta. The sheriff office’s record listed the former president as “White Male 6’ 3” 215 lbs” with “Blond or Strawberry” hair and “blue” eyes. He attacked investigators through his public rhetoric, refused to follow traditional decorum and seemed to say whatever he wanted to. As a result, when many Americans see a mug shot like this, the photograph barely causes a stir.

On Monday, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis announced the fourth indictment against Trump — as well as 18 others — for alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. The indictment is sweeping, invoking Georgia’s version of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and 40 other counts. While this Georgia indictment does not provide the easy-to-read narrative that Smith gave us in the federal election interference case, the evidence here was exhaustively collected over more than two years. Since these charges have been brought in Georgia state court — and not federal court — neither Trump, should he win in 2024, nor any another Republican president can issue a pardon. Under Georgia law, a state pardon can only be given by a state pardon board — not the governor — and only afterfive years have passed following completion of the sentence.

Trump, the former Republican president seeking a return to office in 2024, said Democrat Biden was "waging war on the U.S. auto industry" through "crippling" electric vehicle mandates and urged the UAW to endorse him. Biden's campaign responded that Trump was "the most anti-union president in modern history, stacking his cabinet with anti-union officials." Trump said he advocated trade policies to help U.S. autoworkers during his presidency, including renegotiating trade deals. Biden's campaign said that he supported incentives that helped dramatically add more U.S. electric vehicle and battery production. Earlier this month the UAW called on the Biden administration to soften its proposed vehicle emissions rules.

Trump's lawyers say his classified documents trial should be postponed until after the election. His lawyers argued it's hard for the former president to balance campaigning with all the indictments and lawsuits he's facing. If Judge Aileen Cannon — a Trump appointee — agrees, it could allow Trump to pardon himself in 2024 if he wins. They made the argument while appearing Tuesday before US District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, for a pretrial hearing. Trump is facing a slew of criminal indictments and civil lawsuits, which his defense lawyers said are clashing with his plans for the 2024 campaign trail.

But what the gifted writer Tom Perotta likely couldn’t imagine was an election in which two unpopular candidates square off for president. That doesn’t happen in high school, even in a satirical movie.

As a result, Biden might not even appear on the New Hampshire ballot, effectively ceding the state to Kennedy and author and speaker Marianne Williamson.

That’s essentially what Trump threatened to do against Clinton.
