Trump News Today – Live: Conservative billionaire foundations move away from former president

Mike Roman, a senior adviser to Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign in charge of election day operations, is cooperating with federal prosecutors working for special counsel Jack Smith in the criminal investigation reviewing the effort to overturn the 2020 election, according to CNN.

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan rejected the former president’s claims that he had absolute presidential immunity from the civil suit, clearing the way for the magazine columnist to pursue about $10 million in damages from him.

Angry protesters called Congressman George Santos a “dog killer” on Friday when the Republican appeared in a federal courthouse in Long Island, his first hearing since pleading not guilty last month to a 13-count indictment related to fraud and money laundering charges.

The US Supreme Court has struck down President Joe Biden’s plan to cancel student loan debt for millions of Americans, reversing his campaign trail promise as borrowers prepare to resume payments this summer.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hit back Thursday at former President Donald Trump’s claim that the Sunshine State chief is betraying him by launching his own presidential campaign during an appearance on Fox News.

Mr. DeSantis, who currently trails the twice-impeached, twice-impeached former president by a wide margin in most polls of likely GOP primary voters, told Fox host Jesse Watters that no politician — even a former president like Trump — is entitled to support from some after Watters raised Trump’s criticism during a television interview.

When a draft from the Supreme Court Dobbs vs. Jackson meaning that would overturn Roe v. Wade leaked last May, US Senator Tina Smith had just three words.

“This is bulls***,” the Minnesota Democrat tweeted. She had similar words when Walgreens announced in March of this year, it would not dispense abortion pills in states where abortion remained legal.

She talked to Erik Garcia of The independent.

The network of political organizations established by brothers Charles and David Koch will continue to fund conservative causes — as long as they don’t support Donald Trump.

The Kochs’ network, Americans for Prosperity Action, is reportedly funding candidates who will help the Republican Party move past Trump, a spokesperson said New York Times.

The network has already raised more than $70 million.

This will be the first year the network has taken on a primary race, with the group’s intent reportedly aimed at stopping Trump — the clear Republican front-runner — from winning the primary. The Times reports that a top official at the network, Emily Seidel, wrote to the group’s donors that it was time to “have a president in 2025 who represents a new chapter.”

The Supreme Court overturned decades of policy when it ruled this week that race-based admissions was unconstitutional, barring universities from considering race as a factor in student applications.
