Katie Mettler March 30 at 8:50 PM Two weeks ago, lawyers representing the Sandy Hook families suing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones recorded a three-hour interview with him, a court-ordered formality that, under normal circumstances, would have remained private until the defamation lawsuit eventually went to trial.

Joe Biden has an Al Franken problem. Though he hasn’t even officially announced he’s running for president, on Friday Biden was hit with the first of what could be more #MeToo accusations. Lucy Flores, a former Nevada assemblywoman, wrote that in 2014, when she was seeking office and Biden was still vice president, he smelled her hair and then planted an unwanted kiss on the back of her head. The…

EARLIER: After an epic Friday tweetstorm in which President Trump attacked the media, the Federal Reserve, Democrats, Mexico and its border policies, and radical leftists opposed to his policies, he opted for a different cause in a relatively quiet online Saturday morning. The Commander-in-Tweet has taken up the cause of Special Warfare Operator Chief Edward “Eddie” Gallagher, who is awaiting a court-martial trial in San Diego for allegedly stabbing to…

<!– –> × SEARCH QUOTES Politics President Donald Trump has an Obamacare problem. His administration restarted its efforts to kill the health care law this week, backing a lawsuit that argues all of the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional.
