What major legal development involving Trump is discussed?
Special counsel Jack Smith has moved to drop all charges against Donald Trump in the January 6th case. Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips has the latest.
What motion did Jack Smith file regarding Trump?
Smith filed a motion to dismiss the charges against Trump, citing the DOJ's long-held policy of not prosecuting sitting presidents. Filing now awaits final approval from Judge Tanya Chutkan. This comes after Trump's recent election victory, with Trump signaling plans to wind down the case earlier this month. Smith had previously moved to vacate deadlines in a separate election interference case.
What are the implications of Trump's Supreme Court ruling?
though he stopped short of dismissing them entirely. Trump, who pleaded not guilty to all charges, argued for presidential immunity, and won a Supreme Court ruling which shielded him from prosecution for official acts. Legal experts speculate Smith could also withdraw an appeal in a classified records case, previously dismissed after a judge ruled Smith's appointment as special counsel was unlawful.
How will the FCC's new chair align with Trump's agenda?
President-elect Donald Trump's pick for Federal Communication Commission chair is pledging to align closely with Trump's agenda as he prepares to lead the agency. Brendan Carr, a current FCC commissioner, outlined his priorities in an interview, vowing to fight censorship, restore public trust in media, and streamline bureaucratic processes for economic growth.
What recent controversies surround the FCC and media censorship?
Yeah, look, that type of lawfare is going to end for too long in this government, particularly over the last couple of years. Your last name dictated how the government treated you. If your last name was Soros, well, the commission bent over backwards and gave you a special unprecedented commission-level shortcut to buy 200 radio stations. If your last name was Musk, well, then you lost $800 million contracts that you lawfully got. Everybody now is going to get a fair shake going forward.
Will Soros still be able to acquire those 200 radio stations?
There's a petition for reconsideration pending at the FCC right now, and I want to take a very hard look at that.
Over 200 illegal immigrants were detained at the southern border in Texas yesterday, including 60 unaccompanied minors. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo has the latest.
One of the children, a two-year-old girl from El Salvador, told border officials that she traveled by herself and was looking for her parents, saying they're in the United States. In her hand, she held a scrap of yellow paper with a name and phone number written on it. Officials released video of the child's encounter, calling it a stark reminder of the risks children face on these perilous journeys, often trafficked by criminal organizations. Venezuela, ¿sí? ¿Qué tantos años tienes? Since 2021, over 529,000 migrant children have entered the U.S., and reports show that more than 320,000 remain unaccounted for.
A judge in Ohio has denied the dismissal of a gun charge against an illegal immigrant. The man, who has lived in the US for 15 years, faces charges for processing firearms as an undocumented immigrant. Federal agents began investigating him after he allegedly purchased at least 22 guns while lying about being a US citizen on federal forms. During a raid of his home, agents seized around 170 firearms and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition. The migrant claimed his Second Amendment rights, but the judge rejected that claim, citing U.S. firearm regulation.
