Eric Trump claims Putin could tell Donald Trump was 'a very strong person'
Donald Trump has sued Hillary Clinton and other Democrats, claiming that they tried to rig the 2016 election by tying the former president’s campaign to Russia.
The move is not the only legal news today as the January 6 House select committee will meet to consider criminal contempt referrals for Donald Trump allies Dan Scavino and Pete Navarro.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump has withdrawn his endorsement from Alabama congressman and Senate candidate Mo Brooks, citing his longtime ally’s “horrible mistake” of suggesting that Republicans need to move on from the claim that the 2020 election was stolen.
Mr Trump accused the congressman of “going woke” in a lengthy statement. In a response, Mr Brooks revealed that from September 2021 onwards, Mr Trump repeatedly asked him to rescind the 2020 elections, immediately remove Joe Biden from the White House, reinstall him as president, and hold a new special election for the presidency – all of which the Alabama lawmaker says he knew to be legally impossible.

1648163729 ICYMI: Cruz’s critical race theory attacks backfire spectacularly
While other Republicans at Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing drilled down into matters of child pornography and gender identity, Ted Cruz went at Joe Biden’s nominee on the GOP’s number one issue du jour: critical race theory, a specific academic body of thought that the party and various conservatives now use as a catch-all term for any effort to teach children about racism (in their view, highly inappropriate).
Mr Cruz’s method of attack was to show Ms Brown Jackson various childen’s books featuring antiracist arguments and storylines, but he appears to have scored something of an own goal by driving one of the books’s sales figures through the roof.
