Federal Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing former President Donald Trump's classified documents case, has just denied one of a series of defense motions to dismiss many of the counts against him, according to a new order issued late Monday afternoon. Cannon did, however, agree to strike one paragraph from the indictment, though it's not linked to any particular charge in the indictment. In her order, Cannon expressed agreement with Trump's team that "much of the language" in Special Counsel Jack Smith's speaking indictment of Trump and his two co-defendants "is legally unnecessary."

Jurors began deliberating Monday afternoon in Hunter Biden's federal gun trial after prosecutors urged them to use "common sense" to find him guilty of three felony gun charges, claiming to have proved their case "beyond a reasonable doubt seven ways to Sunday." "If this evidence did not establish that Hunter Biden was a crack addict, and an unlawful user, then no one is a crack addict or an unlawful user," said prosecutor Derek Hines. Abbe Lowell, the lead defense attorney, rebutted that claim by characterizing the government's case as nothing more than "speculation and conjecture."

Trump's remarks were focused on defending religious liberty. A study released by the Pew Research Center in April examining religion and political affiliation found that protestants mostly align with the Republican Party -- however, a large majority of Black Protestants (84%) identify with the Democrats.
