Hours after the publication of our story this morning, attorney Lin Wood confirmed he will be a state’s witness after receiving a subpoena to testify in Sidney Powell’s case — but he denies that means he “flipped” on Trump.

BREAKING: Jeffrey Clark is starting to TURN on Trump.

Clark now claims that he tried to get DOJ to co-sign false claims of voter fraud ONLY because he was pressured to do so by Donald Trump in late 2020.

Clark is throwing Trump under the bus.

BREAKING: MAGA world suffers another humiliating setback in court as the lawyers of Jeffrey Clark — a former Trump assistant attorney general indicted in Georgia — openly admit that they're doing terribly.

During a court appearance today, Clark and his lawyers argued in favor of moving his trial to federal court, where they hope that he can land a jury polluted by Trump supporters.

The judge, who was reportedly "visibly frustrated and annoyed" grilled the attorneys over their frivolous request so intensely and extensively that one of them muttered aloud: "This is not good.

As a general rule, if you're lawyer thinks you're screwed, you're screwed. If Clark had any sense he'd plead guilty, flip on Trump, and try to save his own skin. Perhaps he will.

Jeffrey Clark’s push to move his trial from Fulton County to Federal Court is not going well.

By not going well, I mean:

- he didn’t show up for the hearing

- Judge Jones was not inclined to enter his written statement as evidence

- the Judge also declined to admit portions of a supporting affidavit by former AG Meese

Time to pick out some trial pants, Jeff.

For the first time in U.S. history, two of the eight seats on the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff are filled by interim officers, thanks to Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s eight-month-long hold on military promotions

The judge in former U.S. President Donald Trump's upcoming trial over his handling of classified documents made two key errors in a June trial, one of which violated a fundamental constitutional right of the defendant and could have invalidated the proceedings, according to legal experts and a court transcript.

New: Judge Aileen Cannon made multiple errors in a criminal trial 4 days after she was tapped to preside over Trump’s charges. The mistakes, including improperly closing the courtroom, raise questions on how she’ll approach the Trump case. w/ @SarahNLynch
