Trump Could Pardon Notorious Criminal To Aid His Convicted Ally
Recent developments within the Justice Department suggest that President Donald Trump may be considering a controversial move: absolving former President Richard Nixon of his Watergate-related misconduct. This comes amidst a report that the Justice Department is reviewing the actions of Watergate special prosecutors. This peculiar inquiry appears to stem from a presentation by Geoff Shepard, a former aide to Nixon and a self-proclaimed revisionist historian.

NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx says he'll respond today to domestic violence allegations - video/audio where he describes slamming his wife into a door and throwing his toddler across a room.
Voters/reporters new to Marx may not realize he has a long history of justifying violence.

It's the second time Trump officials have moved to limit scrutiny of the agency run by Pulte.

Trump keeps stealing money from the government to bolster his political prospects. It should be seen as a crime spree not legitimate actions of an American government.

David Robinson resigned this week. He was among the longest-tenured employees at OpenAI—and oversaw safety reports on 12 frontier launches.
He is very worried: “The time for trial and error is over.”
