Fox News Politics: Prosecutorial Pass
Welcome to the latest edition of the Fox News Politics newsletter, where we bring you the most up-to-date information on the Trump transition, exclusive interviews, and more Fox News politics content.
Here’s what’s happening in the world of politics:
– President-elect Donald Trump has begun endorsing replacements to replenish the GOP majority in the House as his cabinet picks continue to shrink the lead. This comes as Special Counsel Jack Smith seeks to dismiss all charges against Trump stemming from the investigation into the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol breach. Smith has also filed a motion to drop his appeal in a classified records case against Trump, signaling a winding down of the case after Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election.
– The White House is insisting that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have one of the most successful administrations in history, despite losing the 2024 election. Meanwhile, PETA protests Biden’s turkey pardon with a “Hell on Wheels” display, featuring subliminal messaging meant to promote veganism.
– In other news, Pam Bondi, Trump’s pick for attorney general, has been praised as loyal and qualified for the top U.S. prosecutor role. Trump is also planning to lift Biden’s LNG pause and increase oil drilling during his first days in office. Additionally, ICE groups are praising Trump for his picks to lead the immigration team.
– On Capitol Hill, the size of the slim Republican majority in the House hangs on three uncalled races. Trump has urged a Florida Republican to mount a congressional bid, and an Ohio congressman vying to replace JD Vance in the Senate says Trump’s agenda must be a priority on “Day One.”
– Across America, Maryland Governor defends a $190K Trump-centric consulting contract as President-elect Trump moves in next door. New York Democrat Rep. Ritchie Torres dubs Gov. Kathy Hochul “the new Joe Biden” and warns of a potential 2026 election loss. Gavin Newsom threatens intervention if Trump kills Biden’s $7.5K EV tax credit, and the Denver mayor says he’s prepared to go to jail over opposition to Trump deportations of illegal immigrants.
