President Trump signaled that he's welcomed his former fixer, Michael Cohen, back into his good graces in a remarkably friendly interview that aired in full on Sunday. The big picture: The president and Cohen discussed a wide range of topics, including Trump's proposed ballroom, how the economy is doing during his second term and how so-called "weaponization" is destroying America. - The interview is the first time Trump and Cohen have spoken publicly since the attorney was a key witness in the hush money trial that led to Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. - Trump and Cohen have repeatedly traded barbs over each other's alleged wrongdoing.

Luigi Mangione faces second-degree murder charges for a killing that would qualify as first-degree in every other state, a legal distinction rooted in New York's abolished death penalty that could shape the outcome of a case already complicated by a federal guilty plea and a looming double jeopardy fight. Retired New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano laid out the issue on Newsmax's "National Report" on Friday, explaining why the December 2024 fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel, an alleged ambush Napolitano called "the most planned and premeditated murder", carries only a second-degree label under New York's criminal code. The reason is straightforward. New York reserves…Open
AI:Luigi Mangione faces second-degree murder charges in New York due to a legal technicality stemming from the state's abolition of the death penalty, which prevents him from being charged with first-degree murder despite his admitted premeditated killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Following a federal guilty plea for stalking charges where Mangione openly confessed to the ambush, his defense is now utilizing a double jeopardy strategy to attempt to dismiss the state murder case entirely. This legal maneuvering is further complicated by significant procedural errors made by Pennsylvania police during the initial search of Mangione's belongings and a judicial landscape that continues to grapple with the fallout of New York’s…Open

Luigi Mangione's legal team is demanding that a New York judge either livestream his state murder trial or explain why the public cannot watch, setting up a transparency fight weeks before jury selection begins. Mangione's attorneys filed a written request with New York Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro on Friday, asking the court to broadcast the trial live or, at minimum, set up a live overflow feed inside the courthouse so journalists and members of the public who cannot get a seat can still follow the proceedings in real time. The 28-year-old defendant, accused of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Midtown Manhattan sidewalk in December 2024, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and multiple weapons…Open

For nearly a decade Michael Cohen was presented by the political establishment, the corporate media, and partisan prosecutors as the man who would finally bring down Donald Trump. They called him an insider. They called him a confidant. They called him a witness with direct knowledge of Trump’s business dealings and personal affairs.

Just after midnight on June 2, 2026 he stated, “When a Star Witness…Open
