Trump DOJ lawyer forced to eat his own words by New Jersey judge

A Department of Justice lawyer was forced to eat his own words after boasting about getting New Jersey's voter rolls then failing the next day.On Wednesday, a federal judge dismissed a DOJ case seeking New Jersey's unredacted voter rolls. The decision gave the Trump DOJ its 18th straight defeat in court when it comes to its nationwide effort to grab state voter rolls.However, Democracy Docket noted in its coverage of the decision that the DOJ's loss was made more ironic by one of its attorneys boasting the day before that it would secure New Jersey's voter rolls.The boast came after a software glitch led to thousands of noncitizens being mistakenly added to the rolls. The DOJ argued that New Jersey had to hand over its voter rolls because of the error.However, New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) refused the DOJ and wrote in a post on X that "New Jersey will not provide the personal information of thousands of New Jersey residents," along with a copy of a letter to Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon saying as much."The request had no legal basis," Sherrill added. "I will always protect New Jerseyans' personally identifiable information."DOJ Attorney Jesus Osete, who describes himself on his profile as Dhillon's number two, responded to Sherrill with a post of his own. "Challenge accepted," Osete's post read.The next day, U.S. District Judge Zahid Quraishi, a Biden appointee, answered that challenge by throwing out the DOJ's case, Democracy Docket noted.Quraishi even noted that the software glitch had "no bearing" on whether the DOJ had a right to voter rolls.

Trump's voided presidential pardon backfires in Fauci fight

President Donald Trump's campaign to void former President Biden's pardons has backfired by giving Dr. Anthony Fauci legal justification to refuse testimony at a Senate hearing, according to pro-Trump former prosecutor Bill Shipley. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment repeatedly when subpoenaed by the Senate Homeland Security Committee to discuss the pandemic response and COVID-19 origins. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) threatened "repercussions" for Fauci's silence and had Capitol Police remove his attorney David Schertler from the hearing room, Politico reported. "Congress should write Fauci a Grant of Immunity using the exact language of the Pardon so it is co-extensive," Schertler wrote on social media. He argued Trump's threats to invalidate Biden's pardons, which Trump declared "null and void" in December 2025, gave Fauci legitimate grounds to claim his testimony could incriminate him if the pardon is voided. Shipley added, Trump's quest to void Biden's pardons had undermined the efforts of Senate Republicans, who contended the pardon should strip Fifth Amendment protections because it eliminates threats for prosecution. Shipley suggested Congress could grant immunity to compel testimony, or Fauci would face contempt charges. Your browser does not support the video tag.

Trump's Michigan endorsement causes upheaval on social media

President Donald Trump's endorsement of Amir Hassan for Michigan's 8th Congressional District triggered outrage among his Truth Social followers. "From bravely fighting for our incredible U.S. Navy, to protecting his Community as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer, Amir has served our Nation with distinction, and will bring that same Fighting Spirit to the U.S. Congress," Trump wrote. Despite Hassan's campaign literature stating "Jesus Christ is his Lord and Savior," Trump supporters attacked the endorsement based on Hassan's perceived Muslim faith. Followers flooded the post with religious objections. Truth Social user Conita Drew wrote a 542-word response, "Have you lost your mind, endorsing Muslim candidates?" they began, and added, "You are not the man that I voted for three times." User JoniMarieForLiberty warned Trump, "YOU ARE BEING MISLED, President Trump! This guy is a snake in the grass. Muslim and never voted for a republican in his whole life. Moved to Michigan last summer and immediately filed to run for office. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!"The backlash reveals deep religious divisions within Trump's base regarding candidate eligibility based on faith.Watch the video below.
