Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida has faced international condemnation and scrutiny as the last GOP governor stepping up the party’s widely derided plan to ship vulnerable groups of migrants out of their states as a sign of cold protest against President Joe Biden.

But the arrival of 50 migrants on Martha’s Vineyard – known as a summer getaway for America’s wealthiest – has galvanized communities across the small island off the coast of Massachusetts, providing immediate shelter and relief to a group of people and families deceptively herded on planes out of Texas more than 2,000 miles away at taxpayer expense.

Former President Donald Trump and his aides pushed AT&T to sell CNN to Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch as the then-president pushed to block the telecommunications company’s merger with Time Warner early in his presidency.

Doug Mastriano, the Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, was registered to vote in neighboring New Jersey until he launched his gubernatorial campaign last year, New Jersey Globe reported.

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham tried to defend his defense of then-President Donald Trump’s conduct during his first impeachment, describing him to two veteran Washington reporters as a liar and using swear words .

In their next book The Divider: Trump in the White House 2017-2021, authors Peter Baker and Susan Glasser recall how they met Mr Graham outside a Washington DC steakhouse less than 48 hours after Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry into whether Mr Trump extorted the president of Ukraine in a now infamous July 2019 phone call. The Independent obtained a copy before its publication date of September 20.

The analysis found that more than a third of the nearly 75 accounts ‘reTruthed’ by the former president on his Truth Social profile over the past month promoted QAnon, the fringe conspiracy theory about a secret cabal of abusers of children who conspired against Mr. Trump while he was in office.

Maggie Haberman, of The New York Times, tweeted that Judge Raymond Dearie was known for his steady hand and that Mr. Trump’s lawyers were “looking” for such a person to serve as special counsel in the Justice Department’s case against the former president.

“An agent in New York reminds me of a key fact about Dearie, whose courthouse I covered two decades ago: He is known to be exceptionally slow in his pace. That’s what the team Trump is looking for,” she wrote.

Judge Dearie has until November 30 to review documents seized by FBI agents at Mar-a-Lago.
