The office that's also prosecuting Donald Trump for alleged racketeering got off to a rough start in the long-running gang case.

The MAGA lawyer has proposed splitting the remaining Georgia defendants into three groups, with the leading GOP presidential candidate in his own trial.

To state the obvious but necessary, being stabbed is not part of any prison sentence.

A silly-at-best ritual masks a darker present, and possible future, for presidential clemency.

The dissent called out the GOP-appointed majority's "hyperaggressive view of the Second Amendment."

Former federal judge J. Michael Luttig called the voters' appeal the "most compelling brief on a question of ... constitutional law that I have ever read."

A state trial judge found that Trump engaged in insurrection but can still be president again (weird). It's not the final word on the 14th Amendment.

A three-judge federal appeals court panel in Washington didn't sound fully satisfied with either side's position on Monday.

Plus, the Supreme Court finally released an ethics code this week — but it's barely worth the paper its printed on.

It’s the latest court ruling in the cross-country effort to keep Trump off the ballot under the Constitution’s insurrectionist ban.

The limited restraint barred the former president from making statements about court staff after he targeted the judge’s law clerk.
