• Romney denounces demagogue' Trump as he announces retirement

Former Trump White House chief Mark Meadows's request for an emergency stay of the order sending his criminal case back to Fulton county superior court, while he appeals to the 11th circuit, has been denied by a federal judge.

The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case issued a protective order pertaining to classified evidence in the case, according a court filing.
