Newsweek - Michael Whatley, Donald Trump's hand-picked Republican National Committee chair, lumped in Ukraine with China and Iran when listing the United States' "aggressive" adversaries on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures.
Trump on abortion: Leave it to the states
PBS - As Donald Trump seeks the presidency for a third time, he is being vigorously opposed by a vocal contingent of former officials who are stridently warning against his return to power and offering dire predictions for the country and the rule of law if his campaign succeeds. It’s a striking chorus of detractors, one without precedent in the modern era, coming from those who witnessed first-hand his conduct in office and the turmoil that followed.
Daily Beast - The little-known insurance company that rescued Donald Trump by providing a last-minute $175 million bank fraud bond isn’t just unlicensed in New York; it hasn’t even been vetted by a voluntary state entity that would verify it meets minimum “eligibility standards” to prove financial stability. Perhaps even more troubling, the legal document from Knight Specialty Insurance Company doesn’t actually promise it will pay the money if the former president loses his $464 million bank fraud case on appeal.

The internal strife at the RNC has prompted the Trump campaign to privately admonish its new leaders in recent weeks. And the move to orchestrate a purge may have partly backfired with far-reaching consequences for the RNC, multiple sources familiar with the matter said.
Axios - Republicans' impeachment probe of President Biden is unraveling because of a lack of evidence. But their work could become the basis for federal investigations and even prosecutions of the Biden family if Donald Trump wins re-election, Axios' Stephen Neukam has learned. Trump has vowed retribution against his enemies if he wins in November. People close to Trump are still plotting to use the Justice Department against Biden and his family. A source close to the Trump campaign told us that "everything you have seen from the Biden DOJ," in terms of charges against Trump, "you can expect to see from the Trump DOJ." House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said in a fundraising email last month that "when President Trump returns to the White House, it's critical the new leadership at the DOJ have everything they need to prosecute the Biden Crime Family and deliver swift justice."MORE
