The January 6 House panel has said that at least nine people close to Trump requested preemptive pardons following the Capitol attack.

Two days after losing a bitter primary to a rival she once deemed a “sellout” for occasionally working with Democrats, Katie Arrington appeared at a “unity rally” to urge South Carolina Republicans to come together and back Rep. Nancy Mace in the fall general election.

Trump talked about issuing so-called blanket pardons to members of his family and staff, according to videotaped testimony by a former White House aide.

The committee debuted new evidence of Trump allies seeking pardons, while building out key elements of its case and linking Trump lawyers' plot to DOJ.

Various Republican House members requested pardons from President Donald Trump in the final days of his administration, according to testimony presented before the Jan. 6 committee.

Now, Brooks says he may be willing to testify before the Jan. 6 panel, as long as it takes place entirely in public, according to CNN.

Yet more setbacks for Trump in Georgia, plus the significance of Katie Britt's GOP nomination in Alabama.

Meanwhile, moderate Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser won her Democratic primary, offering a fresh warning to progressives. Takeaways from the latest round of midterm primary elections:LOYALTY RUNS ONE WAYThroughout his life in business, entertainment and, eventually, politics, Trump demanded loyalty from those around him. Trump initially backed Brooks, but rescinded that endorsement after the campaign got off to a lackluster start. Then, less than two weeks before the runoff, Trump backed Katie Britt, a candidate more oriented toward the GOP establishment but someone whose victory seemed more assured. Her victory allows Trump to take credit for the win — even if he waited until the last minute to back her.

Donald Trump extended his losing record in Georgia on Tuesday after two Trump-backed U.S. House candidates lost in landslides.

Bee Nguyen defeated former state Rep. Dee Dawkins-Haigler in the secretary of state's race.

Britt and Mo Brooks face off in the June 21 runoff that will decide the Republican nominee. Trump eventually endorsed Britt in the race’s final stretch after she emerged as the top vote-getter in the state’s May 24 primary. But the Alabama Senate runoff has drawn particular attention both because of the drama surrounding Trump's endorsement and the fact that the winner will likely prevail in November in a state Trump won twice by more than 25 percentage points. Trump initially endorsed Brooks in the spring of 2021, rewarding an ardent champion of his baseless claims of a stolen election. While Brooks, 68, and Britt, 40, have similar views, their race represents a clash between two wings of the party and different generations.

Katie Britt has secured the GOP nomination for an Alabama U.S. Senate seat, ousting U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks in a runoff, according to a race call by The Associated Press.
