According to a new report from a journalist who claims they witnessed the event, Donald Trump was seen during court on Tuesday editing angry speeches that were later given to the press outside the courtroom by his allies. If true, this constitutes an egregious violation of his gag order, as it would be proof that he is directing his friends about what to say and who to attack - including the people protected by the gag order.

Also, MyPillow founder Mike Lindell went into a blind rage over the fact that Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson gave remarks to reporters outside the Trump hush money trial this week, with Lindell raging that Johnson has no passion for the country and no passion for Donald Trump. This rant came in spite of the fact that Johnson adamantly defended Trump during his remarks. It is likely that Lindell was just jealous that he didn't go to the trial and Johnson did.

And Donald Trump is facing yet another investigation as Democrats in both the House and Senate demand answers about his possible extortion attempt against the fossil fuel industry. Trump recently told a crowd of oil executives that he would kill regulations for them (among other things) if they gave him $1 billion, and now Democrats in Congress are demanding answers from the executives about the whole interaction. This is the type of investigation that could spur an actual criminal investigation by the time it ends.

Finally,  even though both major parties already have their nominee (due to the allegation of delegates), Donald Trump is still struggling to unite the Republican Party and solidly win primaries. This week, the states of West Virginia, Nebraska, and Maryland held their primaries, and Trump struggled as roughly 20% of the voters in all these states combined voted for Nikki Haley - who dropped out of the race two months ago! Those numbers do not bode well for Trump in November, as people would rather vote for a zombie candidate than either stay home or vote for him.
