Earlier this month, Eric Hovde, the Wisconsin Senate candidate endorsed by Donald Trump, suggested that many senior citizens in nursing homes are not qualified to vote.
“We had nursing homes where the sheriff of Racine investigated, where you had 100% voting in nursing homes,” Hovde said of the 2020 election during an interview on the Guy Benson Show. “Well, if you’re in a nursing home, you only have five, six months life expectancy. Almost nobody in a nursing home is in a point to vote. And you have children, adult children showing up that said, who voted for my 85- or 90-year-old father or mother?”
The Wisconsin Senate Candidate’s campaign spokesman said he did not mean to imply that elderly people should not vote.
“In no manner did Eric Hovde suggest that elderly people should not vote,” Hovde spokesman Ben Voelkel said in a statement. “He was referring to specific cases in Racine Co.

The disciplinary panel of the D.C. Bar has ruled that former Trump Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark committed ethical violations when he promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election, such as the baseless claim that smart thermostats were used to steal the election.
Clark, an environmental lawyer with no background in criminal law, was under consideration by Donald Trump for the position of acting attorney general of the United States shortly before the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. However, Trump abandoned the idea due to the threat of mass resignations from his own Justice Department appointees.
Clark appeared before the disciplinary panel over the past two weeks at risk of potential disbarment. He repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. The panel’s preliminary finding will now be reviewed by the D.C. Bar’s full board of professional responsibility, with the final decision on Clark...

Former President Donald Trump has been indicted again, this time on criminal charges in Georgia related to his efforts to reverse the election results in that state in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election.
The charges that came down late Monday were expected, as Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has for the past two years investigated Trump and his allies. The former president faces dozens of other criminal charges in federal courts in Washington, D.C., and Florida, as well as New York state charges.

Prosecutors discovered a previously unknown memo drafted by a lawyer allied with former President Donald Trump, which outlined a plan to overturn the 2020 election, according to the New York Times on Tuesday.

Chesebro argued that even if the plan failed to pass, it would bring attention to claims...

Although he canceled his outdoor rally in Iowa due to tornado warnings, Donald Trump did not let his Saturday night end without addressing a crowd.

Jeffrey Clark and Michael Flynn were leading figures in Donald Trump’s efforts to carry out a coup d’etat in 2020 and 2021. The result was mob violence, deaths at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., an array of criminal investigations and lawsuits, and what one former senior Trump aide went on the record to call “the worst day for the Republican Party since Lincoln’s assassination.”
In any other era, scandals like that would be enough to send those men off into immediate political retirement. But this isn’t one of those eras.
