Donald Trump gave a rambling response to a question about his faith at a town hall. A woman in Iowa asked Trump how his faith has grown since he first ran for president and asked who has mentored him in his "faith journey." Trumn added that he has gotten to know evangelicals because of his presidency and name-checked prominent evangelists Franklin Graham and Paula White. Attendees pray together before President Donald Trump addresses the crowd at the King Jesus International Ministry during a "Evangelicals for Trump" rally in Miami, FL on Friday, Jan. 3, 2020. Pence joked that he had "once invited President Trump to a Bible study," calling it "an experience," according to The Washington Post.

Trump’s defense secretary who preceded Esper, James Mattis, had already turned full throttle against Trump before the 2020 election. He opposes Trump’s prosecution in New York by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, for alleged participation in a hush money scheme before the 2016 election. He also questions whether Trump should be prosecuted in connection with January 6, 2021, or his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Any ultimate prosecution with regard to the 2020 election could be a mistake, Barr said, arguing a candidate should have First Amendment rights. There’s an even larger questionRepublicans can defend Trump against prosecution all they want, but for Barr, that’s not the point.

Trump, who currently holds a large lead over DeSantis in a distant second in polls on the 2024 Republican nomination, also took critical shots at other candidates lower down in the rankings, suggesting they exit the party's primary. Trump's comments were made to Fox News host Sean Hannity in a town hall in Clive, Iowa. DeSantis quipped to reporters during a campaign event in New Hampshire. I'll have that this country hopping in six months," Trump, who can only serve one more term, sniped back. Remarking on former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson, Trump said: "nobody knows who the hell he is."

On the recording, Trump acknowledges he held onto a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran. Over the course of the Justice Department’s investigation, prosecutors have expressed skepticism that all classified documents had been returned. The federal government recovered dozens of documents with classified markings from Trump at various points throughout 2022. The audio of Trump acknowledging he had a classified document undercuts Trump’s repeated claims that he declassified everything he took from the White House when he left office. Trump attorney Jim Trusty declined to say on CNN this week whether the document was ever returned to the National Archives.

The main takeaway for me: prosecutors must determine if classified information meets a sort of Goldilocks test. It is about criminalizing (the information) being kept outside of a protected area, even by somebody who is allowed to have classified information. … All of the discussion has been about how Trump and others may have handled documents after knowing there’s a criminal investigation that exists. We know there’s an obstruction of justice investigation around that. A key thing in an obstruction of justice investigation is knowing that there’s a proceeding that you could potentially be obstructing, like a criminal investigation.

For the third time in Mr. DeSantis’s three trips to Iowa this year, Mr. Trump planned to follow close behind with a two-day swing of his own. In March, when Mr. DeSantis came for his book tour, Mr. Trump arrived days later in the same city and drew a bigger crowd. It was Mr. DeSantis who one-upped him then, appearing at a barbecue joint nearby. “The weather was so nice that we felt we just had to come,” Mr. DeSantis said to laughs in Clive. Mr. Hamer, who was at the governor’s event in Council Bluffs on Wednesday, said he had voted for Mr. Trump in 2016 and 2020 but was now leaning toward Mr. DeSantis.

Since the end of his presidency, Mr. Trump has largely been relegated to appearing on right-wing networks and podcasts. The town hall will be Mr. Trump’s first appearance on CNN since the 2016 campaign. And that’s a clear contrast to what other candidates may or may not do.”The town hall has been months in the making. But Mr. Hannity ultimately did an interview with Mr. Trump instead, and the town hall never materialized. As the conversations about a Fox News town hall fizzled, the Trump team began negotiating with CNN in earnest.
