Walsh’s career at this point is mainly dedicated to whipping up vicious conspiracy theories about LGBTQ people. Only about half of Americans trust the court to weigh in on cases about science and technology (55 percent), the role of the federal government (53 percent), and the Affordable Care Act (49 percent). The KFF poll went a step further and found that only 37 percent of Americans trust the court to decide on cases about reproductive and sexual health. This is the lowest number since the NPR/PBS/Marist poll was first conducted in 2018, when almost twice as many people said they had confidence in the court. This matches a poll conducted by NPR, PBS NewsHour, and the Marist Institute for Public Opinion in late April that found that 62 percent of Americans say they have not very much confidence or no confidence at all in the Supreme Court. The KFF poll found that 58 percent of Americans disapprove of how the Supreme Court does its job. The scandals have tanked public opinion of the nation’s highest court. These were soon followed by reports that Justice Neil Gorsuch sold property to the CEO of a law firm whose lawyers have argued about two dozen cases before the Supreme Court and that Chief Justice John Roberts’s wife was allegedly paid more than $10 million by law firms, at least one of which has argued before the Supreme Court.

The poll also followed a series of bombshell reports that Justice Clarence Thomas secretly accepted lavish gifts for decades from billionaire Republican megadonor and Nazi memorabilia collector Harlan Crow. KFF surveyed nearly 1,700 adults between May 9 and 19, shortly after the Supreme Court kept mifepristone legal. The Guardian reported that it is possible prosecutors are investigating whether Nauta knew exactly what was in the boxes he was moving. But Corcoran took breaks during the multiday search, leaving the storage room unattended multiple times. Nauta had previously testified that Trump asked him to move boxes out of the storage room both before and after the subpoena was issued.Īccording to Corcoran’s notes, Nauta had offered to help him look through the boxes in the storage room, which Corcoran declined.
The notes reveal that Trump and his valet, Walt Nauta, knew exactly where and when Corcoran was planning to search for the documents at Mar-a-Lago. Some of those notes revealed that Corcoran had warned Trump about needing to comply with the Justice Department’s subpoenas. She also ordered him to hand over records of Trump’s alleged “criminal scheme,” including handwritten notes, invoices, and transcriptions of personal audio recordings. Judge Beryl Howell ordered Corcoran to comply with a grand jury subpoena for testimony on six different lines of inquiry. Mike Lee has also indicated he opposes the bill, tweeting that the House Rules committee should reject the deal and negotiators draw up a new one, “this time without the capitulation.” The speaker has repeatedly been willing to overlook Santos’s many, many fabrications and legal troubles in order to keep the House majority. Santos’s opposition is surprising, given he essentially owes his continued congressional career to McCarthy. Members expected to vote “no” include Andy Ogles, Clay Higgins, and George Santos. McCarthy made multiple concessions to the caucus in order to become speaker, including restoring the motion to vacate, which would allow any single member of the House to call for a vote to remove him. Other definite “no”s include Chip Roy, Anna Paulina Luna, Byron Donalds, and Lauren Boebert-all members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus that vehemently opposed McCarthy’s bid for speakership and has been a thorn in his side ever since he won the gavel.
