Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a complaint Wednesday requesting a criminal investigation into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Willis, who brought the racketeering case against Trump and co-defendants for alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, allegedly hired a man she is romantically involved with as special prosecutor and approved “lucrative” compensation that he in turn used to take her on vacations, a motion filed by a Trump co-defendant Monday alleged. Greene sent a criminal referral to Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr on Wednesday expressing “serious concerns” about the allegations, NBC News reported.
It's a bittersweet day for college football fans. University of Alabama head coach Nick Saban has told his team that he is retiring. The 72-year-old leaves the sport as one of the most legendary coaches in college football history, with seven national championships under his belt — six of them with Bama.
"Saban, 72, just completed his 17th season at Alabama, which ended in a loss to eventual national champion Michigan in the Rose Bowl. In 17 seasons, he won 201 games — tied with Vince Dooley (Georgia) for the second-most wins at a single school in SEC history, behind only Bear Bryant,

X CEO Elon Musk is taking a public stand for stricter U.S. voting laws, calling for mandatory in-person voting requiring identification across all 50 states in multiple comments on his social media site.
The tech mogul has recently made multiple posts on the matter, writing on Monday that it is “insane” to be able to vote without providing official identification.
“In the USA, you don’t need [a] government-issued ID to vote, and you can mail in your ballot,” he wrote. “This is insane.” (X) After being questioned on what could be done to fix the insanity, Musk said voting should work like purchasing alcohol.

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark is pictured for the first time in five years in exclusive DailyMail.com photos – amid continuing revelations surrounding the dead financier’s horrific sex slave ring.
Property developer Mark, 69, was dapperly dressed on top against the cold as he headed out of his New York City home on Wednesday.
It was the first time he has been pictured since the days following Epstein's August 2019 jailhouse suicide as the pedophile awaited trial on charges for his sex ring. Sporting a goatee beard and mustache, the younger sibling looked snug in a black and white patterned scarf, trilby hat and puffed jacket as he first dumped the trash.
Hunter Biden is the gift that keeps on giving. And I’m not talking about the STDs he’s probably given and received from his “lady” friends.
This president’s son, who has absolutely no business skills and typically is not even sober, has collected tens of millions from foreign governments and businessmen. Some of that money has found its way through labyrinth shell corporations and into the hands of the “Big Guy.” Some of it has not found its way into the hands of the Internal Revenue Service, though it should have.
Republicans want to learn more about this.

Low on law, high on theater. That’s the best way of looking at Hunter Biden’s Capitol Hill stunt Wednesday morning. The president’s son crashed a public meeting at which the House Oversight Committee was slated to vote on a resolution, based on which the full House would eventually hold him in contempt of Congress — ironically, for defying a subpoena demanding that he show up at the Capitol so the committee could depose him. I say "low on law" because, in the absence of enforcement, law is just a talking point.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday suspended his campaign for president.
"It’s clear to me tonight that there isn’t a path for me to win the nomination. Which is why I’m suspending my campaign tonight for President of the United States," Christie said at a town hall event in Windham, New Hampshire.
Christie, a long shot for the nomination in a race dominated by former President Donald Trump, in recent weeks had faced increased calls from fellow Republicans and from some voters to end his bid to give rival Nikki Haley a boost as she aims to close the gap with Trump.
The White House wouldn't say on Wednesday if President Joe Biden knew son Hunter was going to crash Republicans' contempt hearing on Capitol Hill, a surprising move that resulted in chaos in the Capitol.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she wouldn't detail private conversations of the president's and argued Hunter Biden is a private citizen who makes his own decisions.
'Hunter, as you all know, is a private citizen. He's not a member of this White House, but he makes his own decisions,' she said during her daily press briefing.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is reportedly going to make an announcement he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race on Wednesday evening.
According to journalist Mark Halperin, Chris Christie will make the announcement Wednesday at 5 pm ET in New Hampshire just days before the Republican Iowa presidential Caucuses.
“Two sources he will NOT make an endorsement today,” Mark Halperin said on Substack.While waiting for Chris Christie to make his announcement, he was caught on a hot mic trashing Nikki Haley!
Radical Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) visited the Biden White House three times between April 2022 and August 2023, according to White House visitor logs.
In September 2022, Letitia James announced a civil fraud lawsuit against former President Donald Trump and his family.
AG James has been investigating whether the Trump Organization inflated values of some of its properties.
“Today, I filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump for engaging in years of financial fraud to enrich himself, his family, and the Trump Organization.” Letitia James said in September 2022.
The judge in former President Donald Trump's New York fraud trial has barred him from speaking in his own defense during closing arguments later this week.
The former president, 77, is a defendant in the case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
His business empire in New York is on the line, and James has asked for his business to be fined $370 million for inflating property prices to get favorable loan deals.An attorney for Trump informed Judge Arthur Engoron earlier this week that the ex-president wished to speak during the closing arguments and Engoron initially approved the plan, The Associated Press reported.
Palm Beach, Florida — Former President Donald Trump, the 2024 GOP frontrunner for president, told Breitbart News exclusively that Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco is the person who is actually pulling the strings at the Department of Justice (DOJ), not Attorney General Merrick Garland.
While expanding on his earlier point about how Democrat President Joe Biden is “surrounded by vicious people,” Trump noted that Monaco seems to be the person really in charge at the Justice Department and that Garland is just a figurehead.
“Lisa Monaco, she’s really running the Justice Department, rather viciously and rather illegally, and that will be found out over the next year and a half, I predict,”
A decades-old claim about a former president’s allegedly self-described health condition resurfaced as Epstein court documents were unsealed.
Following an order from U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska, documents from Virginia Giuffre’s civil lawsuit against financier Jeffrey Epstein’s associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, were made public further connecting the conductor of the “Lolita Express” to high-profile individuals.
Among named names was that of former President Bill Clinton, prompting rape accuser Juanita Broaddrick to offer her own testimony to the character of the longtime Democratic Party leader
The Ohio House of Representatives on Wednesday afternoon voted to override Governor Mike DeWine’s veto of legislation that would ban child gender transition hormone therapy and surgeries as well as boys in girls’ sports.
In a 65–28 vote, the chamber, after convening for a special session, rejected the Republican governor’s attempt to kill the SAFE Act. The bill now heads to the state senate, which will be in session on January 24, for an override vote. In a statement following his veto, DeWine explained that he’d be announcing subsequent action specifically regarding child gender transition procedures, but not hormone injections and puberty blockers.
Republicans have voted to recommend Hunter Biden officially be held in contempt of Congress for refusing to sit for a closed-door deposition as part of their impeachment investigation into his father Joe.
The House Judiciary Committee was first to vote to approve the contempt resolution 23-14 along party lines, teeing up a full floor vote as early as next week.
If that gets cleared, Hunter's case would be referred to the Biden-led Department of Justice for prosecution and he could face up to a year in prison if convicted.
Donald Trump won’t deliver his own closing statement at his New York civil fraud trial after all — after the judge said he needed to stick to “relevant, material facts.”
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron emailed Trump attorney Christopher Kise Wednesday saying he was assuming the 77-year-old former president wouldn’t agree to the “lawful limits” and “therefore, he will not be speaking in court tomorrow.”
Kise first notified the judge in a January 4 email that after the lawyers give their arguments in the $370 million case on Thursday, “President Trump plans to present argument at closing as well,” court records show.
Don Lemon is back.
The former CNN host who was fired from the network in April 2023 announced on Tuesday the launch of his new program on X.
“I’ve heard you … and today I am back bigger, bolder, freer!” Lemon said in a post on the social media site. “My new media company’s first project is The Don Lemon Show. It will be available to everyone, easily, whenever you want it, streaming on the platforms where the conversations are happening.” (Snip) Tucker Carlson, who was fired from Fox News the same day Lemon was terminated from CNN, welcomed him.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) is expected to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, according to a report.
Journalist Mark Halperin broke the news on his Substack after speaking with two anonymous sources.
Halperin wrote that the Christie campaign was expected to make an announcement at 5 p.m. Eastern time. Christie is not expected to immediately announce an endorsement. (X) Christie has been the one GOP contender who dared to call out front-runner Donald Trump for his election lies and other untruths.

We're certainly getting a lot of drama in the House on Wednesday.
As I reported earlier, Hunter Biden showed up as they were considering his contempt resolution and then fled after he was blasted by both Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). This was one heck of a meeting and some kind of drama. Mace even said that Hunter had no "balls." And he was called a "coward" as he fled the room. Then reporters even pursued Hunter as he fled the hearing and asked him what his favorite type of crack was. Of course, he wasn't answering that one.

Welcome to San Francisco, where the city's leaders promote homeless encampments, fluff communists, do nothing about rising violent crime, and coddle terrorist regimes that have committed mass murder. As you can, what was once one of America's most beautiful locations really has its priorities in order.
Do you want an illustration of just how messed up San Francisco is? Its city council just voted for a "ceasefire" between Israel and Hamas by an 8-3 margin. Now, I know what you're thinking. What right or authority does an American city council have to tell a foreign nation it must stop fighting a terrorist government that massacred

Corruption Charges Threatens Everyone

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is fighting for his political life, and he knows it. The embattled New Jersey Democrat was slapped with a superseding indictment where he allegedly helped the Qatari government in return for lavish gifts. Menendez is already facing corruption charges and acting as a foreign agent vis-à-vis his relationship with Egyptian officials. When federal agents raided his home last September, over $400,000 were stuffed in various items of clothing, along with gold bars, which appears to be a sticking point with a lot of his Democratic colleagues. The Garden State liberal has faced corruption charges before, thus far avoiding conviction.
The U.S. House of Representatives descended into disorder as Hunter Biden made an unexpected appearance during a session convened to discuss advancing a vote on holding him in contempt for failing to comply with a subpoena.
Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) launched a scathing attack on Biden as tensions flared on the House floor.
The hearing, initially set to be a procedural step, took a dramatic turn when Hunter Biden entered the room. His presence, which caught both the committee members and the public off guard, quickly became the focal point of the proceedings.
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy left White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stammering with one simple question about the disappearance of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Austin did not immediately disclose his Jan. 1 hospitalization with his staff for several days. He underwent an elective medical procedure to treat a urinary tract infection on Dec. 22, and then entered the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on Jan. 1 after suffering from “severe pain.”Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr., who is not in the chain of command, learned of his hospitalization on Jan. 2, and
After Hunter Biden fled his own contempt hearing Wednesday morning (as Nick Arama covered here), reporters swarmed him to ask questions. One reporter who's known for following Democrats to ask them tough questions is Fox Business' Hillary Vaughn, and she didn't disappoint on this occasion either. She had the following exchange with Hunter Biden:VAUGHN: Why did you put your dad on speakerphone with your business partners if he ahd no involvement in your business?
BIDEN: Do you have a dad? Does he call you?
VAUGHN: Yes.BIDEN: Do you answer the phone?
VAUGHN: Yes.
BIDEN: Okay.
VAUGHN: But why did you need to talk to him during business meetings
Police officers are urging Canadians not to publicly share home security footage of porch pirate mail thieves, claiming it could be a violation of their privacy rights and defamatory. Quebec provincial police (SQ) communications officer Lt.

Instead, Richard suggested calling 911 if anything was stolen.

First son Hunter Biden made a surprise appearance Wednesday at a House Oversight Committee hearing where members were debating a resolution holding him in contempt of Congress. Hunter, 53, ignored the requests from the Oversight and Judiciary committees to sit for interviews Dec. 13 and instead gave a speech ripping Republicans leading an impeachment investigation of his father. The first son showed up with his lawyer Abbe Lowell and “sugar brother” Kevin Morris and sat in the front row of the hearing room. Rep.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels fired their largest-ever barrage of drones and missiles targeting shipping in the Red Sea, forcing the United States and British navies to shoot down the projectiles in a major naval engagement, authorities said Wednesday. No damage was immediately reported. The attack by the Iranian-backed Houthis came despite a planned United Nations Security Council vote later Wednesday to potentially condemn and demand an immediate halt to the attacks by the rebels, who say their assaults are aimed at stopping Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The migrant buses into sanctuary New York City aren't stopping.
And now they've run out of hotel space as winter kicks in and the sanctuary city with its "right" to housing for all comers takes it on itself to find some place to house them.
So now the kids are being thrown out of their own school, James Madison High School, where Chuck Schumer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg are alums, for the sake of the migrants.

Former President Donald Trump’s net favorability remains superior to President Joe Biden’s, Morning Consult found Tuesday, an extraordinary finding amid a bevy of legal onslaughts against Trump.

Gwendolyn Beck, now 65, ran for Congress in 2014 as an independent representing Arlington, Virginia, but had long been known as an associate of Epstein's.
She was photographed in 1995 with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago in 1995, and five years later, was back at Mar-a-Lago with Prince Andrew and Melania Knauss, Donald Trump's girlfriend.
Disgraced New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez’s ex-girlfriend allegedly participated in orgies with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and underage girls, newly-released court documents claim. Gwendolyn Beck, 65, a longtime associate of Epstein’s was singled out by his victim Virginia Giuffre in a January 2016 deposition, a transcript of which was finally released to the public on Tuesday. As part of the deposition, Giuffre was provided with a list of names and was asked which ones she was not trafficked to as a teenager.

Legal woes that would have buried a candidate have become a feature of Trump’s 2024 run as other Republicans hit campaign trail in IowaFour candidates were on the campaign trail, meeting and greeting voters in frigid Iowa.

Arab, Muslim and younger voters face a choice between Biden, who does little to stop mass Palestinian death, and the xenophobic Trumpe have a chaotic and unpredictable election year ahead. That would normally elicit anxiety, but mostly I’m feeling hopeless.
The election is less than a year away, and Joe Biden’s approval rating has sunk to its lowest level yet, clocking in at a paltry 38%, according to a recent Washington Post average of 17 different polls. Biden’s unblinking support for Israel and unwillingness to demand a ceasefire has made dear Uncle Joe appear to many as just another callous politician, numb to Palestinian suffering.
Is this the inconvertible evidence needed to prove the Biden regime colluded with corrupt Fulton Country District Attorney Fani Willis to prosecute Trump?
As the Gateway Pundit’s Cristina Laila previously reported, Willis’ alleged lover Nathan Wade met with the Biden’s White House Counsel multiple times in 2022, before the Trump indictment on bogus charges. Willis hired Wade as a special prosecutor in 2021 and financially benefitted from their relationship, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution

Conservatives and liberals, Republicans and Democrats, Independents and Libertarians, all are for successful rehabilitation of American criminals.

Joe Biden has talked about climate change endlessly since taking office, but a new survey shows that most voters in swing states do not care about the issue at all.
This would only be surprising to the left, but most people are not thinking about supposed climate change when they’re struggling to pay for basic items like food, heating energy and gas for their cars.
Besides the economy, people across the country are also deeply concerned about issues like crime and the mess Biden has made at the southern border.

Iran has developed a new attack drone for Russia's war in Ukraine and appears close to providing Moscow with surface-to-surface missiles, an informed security source has claimed.
The Shahed-107 was described as an "explosive and reconnaissance" unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), possibly fitted with technology to seek out high-value battlefield targets such as British and American multiple-launch rocket systems used by Ukrainian forces. The source told Sky News "a few units" of the specially-designed drone may have been offered to Russia in a deal estimated to be worth more than $2m (£1.6m).
This reflects "the significant force design work Iran is engaged in to support Russia's interests regarding Ukraine", the source said.
Hunter Biden’s Manhattan art dealer said Tuesday that he never worked with the White House on an ethics pact to ensure buyers would remain anonymous — and added that the top purchasers were known to the first son, contrary to prior claims from President Biden’s aides.

The special prosecutor that Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis is accused of having an “improper” relationship with billed the Fulton County DA’s office $4,000 for two eight-hour meetings with White House officials while overseeing the election interference case against former President Donald Trump, according to court documents.
The apparent meetings attended by Nathan Wade, an Atlanta-based private attorney hired by Willis to assist in the prosecution of the Trump and his co-defendants, took place in 2022 after he was tapped for the role, according to invoices included in a bombshell court filing by Michael Roman, a former Trump 2020 campaign official.

President Joe Biden’s administration pledged from day one to restore truth and transparency to the federal government — but now it’s facing a maelstrom of criticism and credibility questions after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s hospitalization was kept secret for days, even from the White House. The controversy has prompted a government-wide review of what protocols are in place to prevent such failures and the Pentagon is scrutinizing its own procedures following the extraordinary lapse, which left even Austin’s top deputies unaware of his condition for days.
Former President Trump’s legal team suggested Tuesday that even a president directing SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent would be an action barred from prosecution given a former executive’s broad immunity to criminal prosecution.
The hypothetical was presented to Trump attorney John Sauer who answered with a “qualified yes” that a former president would be immune from prosecution on that matter or even on selling pardons. In the hearing that reviewed a motion from Trump’s team to toss his election interference charges, Sauer argued that presidents can only be criminally prosecuted if they have already been tried and convicted by the Senate.
