Trump followed up Miller's statement with confirmation of his own, saying “I’m doing things having to do with putting our own platform out there that you’ll be hearing about soon,” Trump told Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe in the debut episode of her “The Truth” podcast, which was released Monday.
CNN’s viewership during the 8-11 p.m. ET slot dropped 36% since Biden moved into the White House. Even more so, the viewership decline was sharper among the key demographic of all adults aged 25-to-54, plummeting 47% during the same period.

“I stand before you today to declare that the incredible journey we began together four years ago is far from over,” Trump said in his first speech leaving Washington. “We are gathered this afternoon to talk about the future — the future of our movement, the future of our party, and the future of our beloved country.”
A clear reversal from his previous comments when the Kentucky Republican said the GOP needed to move past Trump. “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people," McConnell said on the Senate Floor two weeks after a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Trump's argument was the subpoena issued by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance was broad and issued in bad faith.

The Wyoming Representative, who has served in congress since 2017, reportedly refused to apologize for voting to impeach former President Donald Trump during a closed-door meeting on Wednesday. Cheney was among the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach the former president for inciting the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
"If you voted that it was unconstitutional then how in the world would you ever hope to convict somebody for this?" Paul asked his colleagues on Tuesday. "Forty-five of us, almost the entire caucus, 95% of the caucus, voted that the whole proceeding was unconstitutional. This is a big victory for us. Democrats can beat this partisan horse as long as they want-- this vote indicates it's over, the trial is all over."
House Democrats will "carry the sole impeachment charge across the Capitol late Monday evening, a rare and ceremonial walk to the Senate by the prosecutors who will argue their case," according to AP News. The 50 democrats in the Senate hope enough Republicans in the chamber, some who've publicly denounced Trump, will unify with them to bar the cast-off president from holding office again in the future.
