A rights group said the group had been “lied to” and deceived after being transported from Texas to California. The circumstances are similar to a stunt orchestrated by Florida’s rightwing Republican governor last year in Martha’s Vineyard.

Mike Pence has filed the paperwork necessary to run for president, though he will wait till Wednesday to make the campaign official with a speech in Iowa.

It’s unclear who the lawyers met with, but when we find out, we’ll let you know.

The Guardian reported last week that Evan Corcoran, a lawyer for the former president, was waved off by Trump’s associates when he asked to search his office at Mar-a-Lago for classified documents, and instead only checked a storage room. When federal agents last August searched the property, the office was one of the areas where the classified documents were found.

“Haley spent an hour and a half doubling down on her Maga agenda – reminding Americans she supports a national abortion ban and ending Social Security and Medicare as we know it,” said Rhyan Lake, a spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee (DNC). “Take it from Team Haley – her extreme, anti-freedom candidacy is just as Maga as the rest of the 2024 GOP field.”

In the town hall, Haley attempted to distance herself from Trump and the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol, saying, “He thinks it was a beautiful day I think it was a terrible day.” But the DNC noted she has endorsed election denying Republicans across the country, including Nevada’s Adam Laxalt, and New Hampshire’s Don Bolduc, both failed Senate candidates.

Haley attacked Trump and Ron DeSantis for “not being honest” about the sustainability of social security and medicare, two major government aid programs. But the DNC said she has embraced cuts to the programs proposed by Paul Ryan, a former Republican speaker of the House. “Haley has been shamelessly campaigning to end Social Security and Medicare as we know it — which would hurt hard working families and seniors across the country.”

Good morning, US politics blog readers. We heard more from presidential candidate Nikki Haley at a CNN-hosted town hall last night, who, like all Republicans not named Donald Trump, has a tough hill to climb to overcome the party’s frontrunner for the nomination. She criticized both the former president (also her ex-boss, since she worked as his UN ambassador) and Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor who is viewed as the next-best contender. But in some ways, Haley is more like Trump than she lets on. Pressed about her stance on abortion, she wouldn’t say what sort of restrictions on the procedure she would support, only that she’d aim to get some sort of legislation through Congress. That sounds a lot like the former president, who has demurred on saying whether he’d sign a national ban. Expect to hear more reactions to Haley’s town hall appearance as today goes on.

The California governor, Gavin Newsom, has weighed into the row between his condition and Florida more than the situation of a team of sixteen migrants who were being left exterior a Sacramento church.

A rights group mentioned the group had been “lied to” and deceived after staying transported from Texas to California. The instances are very similar to a stunt orchestrated by Florida’s rightwing Republican governor final yr in Martha’s Vineyard.

Now Newsom has mentioned kidnapping charges in relation to the incident. Here’s his tweet, criticising Ron DeSantis soon after California authorities pointed the finger at the Florida governor around the incident:

Cornel West, the philosopher, creator, critic, actor and civil rights activist, has announced he is running for president.

West introduced his campaign for the People’s Bash with a Twitter online video on Monday.

He explained:

“I treatment about you. I care about the high quality of your lifestyle, I treatment about irrespective of whether you have accessibility to a work with a dwelling wage, respectable housing, ladies getting control more than their bodies, health care for all, the escalating destruction of the planet, the destruction of American democracy.”

Observe his complete marketing campaign launch video clip right here:

The world’s major cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, is staying sued by the SEC over allegations of mishandling shopper money and lying to regulators and investors.

Binance has hit back at the claims and my colleague Lauren Aratani is reporting all the newest on the lawsuit in our dedicated website. You can stick to latest updates here:

Mike Pence has submitted the paperwork essential to run for president, however he will hold out till Wednesday to make the marketing campaign official with a speech in Iowa. In the meantime in Washington, lawyers for Donald Trump have stopped by the justice section, wherever unique counsel Jack Smith is reportedly nearing a conclusion on whether or not to advocate prices in excess of the categorised documents federal brokers identified very last calendar year at Mar-a-Lago. It’s unclear who the lawyers satisfied with, but when we discover out, we’ll enable you know.

Here’s what else has occurred now so far:

• New Hampshire governor Chris Sununu has declined to leap into the race for the GOP’s presidential nomination.

• Nikki Haley participated in a CNN-moderated town hall last evening, but even they could not get her to make her stance on abortion obtain clear.

• Pence’s edge above other Republicans: he in fact rides motorcycles.

Republican voters pining to send a governor to the White Dwelling needn’t fear Chris Sununu’s determination to forgo a operate.

North Dakota governor Doug Burgum – who is minimal identified outside his property condition – is envisioned to also on Wednesday declare his candidacy for president, the similar day Mike Pence kicks off his campaign in Iowa. Here’s a teaser movie Burgum just posted:

Other governor solutions for Republican voters: Ron DeSantis, who is a distant second spot to Donald Trump in the most recent polls.

In an interview with CNN, New Hampshire’s Republican governor Chris Sununu explained he will not operate for the party’s presidential nomination next year.

“We’ve taken the previous 6 months to really sort of glance at things in which almost everything is and I’ve made the decision not to run for president on the Republican ticket in 2024,” reported Sununu, who was re-elected to a fourth two-calendar year term as governor past calendar year.

Sununu has preserved his attractiveness in what is thinking of a blue-leaning swing state, and also attempted to distance himself from Trump, telling CNN previous year that he thinks that “clearly shifting on” from the former president.

You know who else was at the “Roast and Ride” in Iowa this weekend? The Guardian’s David Smith! He has the whole tale on what he aptly phone calls “a slice of pure Americana”:

There were hay bales and Harley-Davidsons. There was sliced pork and marketing campaign paraphernalia. There had been earnest speeches about defeating Democrats successful back again the White Household. But at the centre of it all was a Donald Trump-formed hole.

The Republican presidential most important for 2024 received below way in earnest on Saturday when 8 contenders – minus Trump – took component in Iowa senator Joni Ernst’s “Roast and Ride”, a combination of barbecue-rally and motorbike journey.

The yearly function is a slice of pure Americana. When a young pastor offered a prayer from the again of a pickup truck outdoors a major yellow barn owned by Harley-Davidson, bikers eradicated their caps, put them over their hearts and bowed their heads. The convoy rode in staggered formation earlier church buildings, suburban houses with clipped lawns, buying malls and rolling farmland to the Iowa point out fairgrounds.

Mike Pence, set to make his entry into the most important official following 7 days, was the only White Property hopeful to basically get part in the charity parade. The former vice-president, who turns 64 subsequent week, rode a cobalt blue bicycle and wore denims, boots, a white helmet and a black leather-based vest with patches that explained “Indiana”, “Pence”, “rolling thunder” and messages supportive of the military services.

Pence was amid the Republican aspirants who, talking in entrance of bales of hay and an outline of the Iowa map, sent speeches of about ten minutes every inside a wood-roofed building where about a thousand voters ate lunch on green table cloths. But none outlined Trump by identify, supplying the impression of a get together in denial.

Say what you will about Mike Pence, but the previous president was the only candidate to truly get on a motorcycle this past weekend, when several GOP presidential contenders went to the “Roast and Ride” in Iowa.

The occasion, organized by the state’s GOP senator Joni Ernst, was attended by Florida governor Ron DeSantis, senator Tim Scott and Nikki Haley, all official contenders. Pence hadn’t made his campaign official yet at the time of the rally, but distinguished himself by not just roasting, but also using:

The Democrats have welcomed Mike Pence to the presidential race with a major smile and open arms.

Just kidding — they detest him. Pence may have damaged with Donald Trump on January 6 and finished up functioning from a mob of his infuriated supporters, but the Democratic National Committee does not want voters to forget about the policies he supported as vice-president, Indiana’s governor, and a member of the House of Representatives.

Here’s what DNC chair Jaime Harrison experienced to say about Pence, now that he’s officially on the marketing campaign path:

In Mike Pence’s have words, he was a member of the extraordinary Tea Bash ‘before it was amazing,’ and he hasn’t slowed down considering that. Pence pushed an extraordinary agenda in Congress and the Indiana statehouse right before turning out to be Donald Trump’s MAGA wingman for 4 many years and then campaigning for election deniers final year. Now, he’s promising to choose the Trump-Pence agenda even further, top the charge for a countrywide abortion ban, reducing Medicare, and ending Social Stability as we know it.

Pence’s entrance will no doubt drag an increasingly MAGA 2024 GOP industry even further more to the extremes.

Previous vice-president Mike Pence has officially entered the 2024 presidential race, pitting him towards his previous boss Donald Trump and a host of other candidates together with Florida governor Ron DeSantis for the Republican party’s nomination.

The Federal Election Commission’s web page exhibits Pence and his marketing campaign committee, Mike Pence for President located in Carmel, Indiana, officially registering nowadays. The previous vice-president will publicly announce the bid on Wednesday in Des Moines, Iowa.
