Barr, tell it, a superseding indictment that prosecutors filed in the case earlier this month is nothing but cover for the fact that they violated Collins' rights under the Constitution's speech or debate clause. That provision aims to shield legislative activity from undue interference from the...

This time, it is Anthony Scaramucci, who in 2017 served as communications director for the White House for all of about a week.

Scaramucci has said many things about Trump in the past week. He now calls Trump a liar and the "Mad Night King" and even compares him to the Reverend Jim Jones, the cult leader who led hundreds to...
