Trump Document Case Tossed Out

Nearly two years after the Biden Administration authorized the use of force during the FBI’s raid on President Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case against the former president. The August 8, 2022 raid has been a point of contention, with critics arguing it demonstrated excessive measures by federal authorities.

Judge Cannon ruled that the appointment of a special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland was unconstitutional. Justice Clarence Thomas had previously noted that without a law establishing the office of Special Counsel, such prosecutions cannot proceed. He further stated that "a private citizen cannot criminally prosecute anyone, let alone a former President." This perspective was echoed by Judge Cannon in her decision to dismiss the case.

President Trump Announces Running Mate

President Trump announced Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his vice-presidential running mate this week. Senator Vance is known for his working-class roots and his best-selling autobiography "Hillbilly Elegy." His background includes military service and success in business, which supporters believe will resonate with voters disillusioned by current policies.

Gosar Receives Taxpayers’ Friend Award

Representative Paul Gosar received recognition from the National Taxpayers Union (NTU) for his voting record supporting limited government and low taxes. Gosar was one of only 38 House Members and three Senators to earn the “Taxpayers’ Friend Award” for the 2023 Congressional session.

The NTU evaluates every roll call vote in Congress based on its fiscal or regulatory impact on taxpayers. Achieving an "A" rating is considered a significant accomplishment.
