The Daily's Verdict
This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.
Bias
60%
Examples:
- Donald Trump has called for Special Counsel Jack Smith to be arrested after the prosecutor’s team said some evidence in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case are no longer in their ‘original, intact’ form.
- If the judges rule in Smith’s favor, the case could end up before the justices next month.
- It has always been clear that the ‘Documents Case’ is nothing but an Election Interference Scam concocted by Crooked Joe Biden, Deranged Jack Smith, and their Hacks and Thugs.
- Smith has sought urgent consideration from the courts, contending that there’s an intense public interest in resolving the case in 2024.
- The three-judge appeals court panel assigned to the case appears to concur with Smith’s claims of urgency, setting an extremely quick series of deadlines that culminate in oral arguments set for Jan. 9.
- Trump is also slated to go on trial in Florida on May 20 on a second set of charges brought by Smith alleging that Trump refused to return a raft of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving office.

- Grace Chong, the chief operating officer for War Room, was one of those who expressed hope for Bannon’s attempt to stay out of jail because of Walker’s dissent.
- In another Truth Social post, Trump accused Smith of ‘blatant evidence tampering’ and called for the case to be thrown out.
- Instead, Bannon claims that he was relying on the advice of his former lawyer, Robert Costello...
- Steve Bannon was sentenced to four months in jail
- That he and his team committed blatant Evidence Tampering by mishandling the very Boxes they used as a pretext to bring this Fake Case.
- They got one judge to dissent, which is great.
