The Department of Justice should "make an inquiry" into Donald Trump's recent incitement of political violence against President Joe Biden, according to a former federal prosecutor Saturday. Former federal prosecutor Shan Wu, who previously argued that Judge McAfee was "losing control" of Trump's criminal case in Georgia, appeared on
CNN to talk about Trump's legal troubles. Specifically, the host asked Wu about Trump's recent posting of an image featuring Biden bound and gagged in the back of a pick-up truck.

Wu noted that, while Biden had a "very political response," that's because they "can't tell DOJ or law enforcement to do something because they want to appear hands off." "But really the DOJ should make an inquiry," he added. "They should make sure that these things as are being checked out. And frankly, they could talk to the former president's campaign and say, hey, this kind of thing is very dangerous, doesn't mean they're investigating him, are bringing charges, but that's a proper thing for them to do to keep the peace."

Donald Trump on Saturday put on display multiple photos of the daughter of the judge in his hush money criminal case, even as the prosecution argues that targeting her could violate an established gag order in the case over purported payments to an adult film star. Trump, who was previously put on the spot for his attacks on Judge Merchan's daughter, including posting her name publicly, has been accused of intentionally stirring up violence against the jurist's adult daughter. Merchan's daughter works in an industry that services politicians, including prominent
Democrats. His earlier attacks prompted a debate in court filings over what the gag order covers, but he signaled Saturday he's not relenting in his fight against Merchan's daughter.

Judge Merchan should be immediately sanctioned and recused, and this fake 'case,' only kept alive by the Highly Conflicted Judge, should be completely dismissed right away - THERE IS NO CASE, THERE IS NO CRIME," Trump said Saturday. "Andy McCarthy, Jonathan Turley, and all Legal Experts and Scholars universally agree that this is a case that should have never been brought. IT IS A POLITICAL, ELECTION-INTERFERING WITCH HUNT, JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER HOAXES, HEADED UP AND COORDINATED BY THE DOJ, AGAINST THE POLITICAL OPPONENT OF CROOKED
Joe Biden IN ORDER TO HELP GET THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE
United States RE-ELECTED!" Trump's Truth Social post also included a link to an article , entitled Dem clients of daughter of NY judge in Trump hush money trial raised $93M off the case , which includes multiple photos of Merchan's daughter. When Trump posted the article to his
Social Media platform, which recently went public, two photos of the judge's daughter were prominently displayed on the former president's profile. Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance saw the post and said, "You can't have a legal system with integrity & the ability to counteract you if you're a wannabe dictator." "That's why Trump is trying to delegitimize [our] institutions," she added. CONTINUE READING Show less Donald Trump on Saturday claimed that Joe Biden's
White House banned religious-themed egg designs from its Easter celebration, but that policy extended even into Trump's term, according to some insiders. Trump and other MAGA-worlders melted down over the alleged change, represented by a White House invitation for children from families of the National Guard to submit artwork to appear on the traditional holiday event, and also to ensure eggs kindly refrain from using religious symbols of any kind. White House Deputy Assistant to the President Elizabeth Alexander poured cold water on the claim. ALSO READ: 11 ways Trump doesn’t become president "*Fyi on all the misleading swirl re White House and Easter: the
American Egg Board flyer’s standard non-discrimination language requesting artwork has been used for the last 45 years, across all Dem &
Republican Admins—for all WH Easter Egg Rolls —incl previous Administration’s," she reported on Saturday. Jon Favreau, speechwriter to former President
Barack Obama and co-host of the "Pod Save America" podcast, also noticed the implications for the ex-president. "Also: looks like MAGA God Donald Trump 'banned religious-themed egg designs' from the WH contest too, as has every WH for the last 45 years," Favreau wrote. White House Deputy Communications Director Herbie Ziskend also drew attention to the statement pointing fingers back at Trump, as did Jesse Lee, a former economic communications official for Biden and a senior advisor to Speaker
Nancy Pelosi. "For anybody on the fence about buying a Trump Bible to fund his porn star hush money defense, he's lying about Easter now too so maybe don't," Lee wrote Saturday.

Rubio, who vehemently opposed Trump when he ran against him in the 2016 GOP primary, has since been a dedicated loyalist for Trump. Recently, reports suggested that Rubio was among those Trump is rumored to be considering for his second-in-command. Enter Dr. Jack Brown, an expert who recently analyzed the now-infamous
State of the Union response by Sen. Katie Britt, an
Alabama Republican. ALSO READ: ‘It’s on my ID’: Presidential candidate Literally Anybody Else explains legal name change "Last Sunday, Sen. Marco Rubio was interviewed by Jonathan Karl on ABC's 'This Week'. What follows is a body language analysis of a short but crucial portion of their exchange," Brown wrote. "Jonathan Karl reiterated what Rubio had said earlier in the week, 'You said it would be an honor to be offered a spot on Trump's ticket. Really?' Rubio answered, 'Yeah' and proceeded to give a lengthier explanation." Rubio then says, "That's a decision that he's going to make. He has plenty of really good people to pick from." That stood out for Brown. "Just after Rubio says, '...to pick from', Rubio displays an excellent example of what is known as a 'microexpression'. There are many varieties of microexpressions (for many different thought-emotions) – and this particular one indicated contempt," according to Brown's analysis on Saturday. "This microexpression is centered on the region of the right corner of his mouth (his right, not ours), jaw, and (less pronounced) right 'mustache area', and lateral to his right nostril." His right nostril, according to Brown, "is also flared and his right eye (eyelids) are momentarily slightly closed." "It's helpful to think of a microexpression of contempt as an evanescent, unilateral snarl," the expert added. "Note that although Rubio is complementary with his words toward Trump's other possible VP picks – however the Senator's body language says the polar opposite."
