Letâs be clear here that the documents case is about more than just âtaking classified documents homeâ.
The biggest charge is that he refused to return them, after of course changing gears from stating he didnât have any, to he didnât have any any longer, to the I-declassified-them-all line.
Read the actual indictment below. There are highlights which shed light on the degree of obstruction Trump and co are alleged to have gone to in relation to the documents themselves.
He could have just returned them, and we wouldnât have been here. But he blames everyone but himself. thatâs that logic and understanding some people here claim to have
I was replying with my opinion on something ( the Bowman case) that Trendwithbenifits posted, you are the one who chose to participate in that conversation.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ousted from leadership role in historic vote. Hereâs what to know.
Enough Republicans joined Matt Gaetzâs effort in a pair of floor votes.
Rep. Matt Gaetzâs efforts to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy were successful as the GOP civil war continues to rage in Congress.
Gaetz, the outspoken Florida Republican whoâs dealt with a barrage of scandals since being elected in 2016, has been a consistent antagonist of McCarthy. On Monday night, Gaetz announced he would be filing a âmotion to vacateâ that if successful would remove McCarthy from his post.
McCarthy and his allies could have handled Gaetzâs motion in a few ways, but they chose to hold a vote to âtableâ it on Tuesday afternoon. If it had been successful, it would have killed Gaetzâs motion and allowed McCarthy to retain his speakership. It failed, with 11 Republicans defecting.
Later that afternoon, the first vote on a motion to vacate in more than a century passed, ending McCarthyâs speakership. Eight Republicans in total voted in support of the final measure.
âChaos is Speaker McCarthy,â Gaetz said in a floor speech defending his actions. âChaos is somebody who we cannot trust with their word.â
McCarthy could run again for the now-vacant speakership, something his allies have suggested is likely.
