But since then, Trump and Republicans have pursued a campaign to scandalize Smith's investigations, making false and misleading claims about the conduct of an operation to investigate January 6 and the attempt to overturn the election, code-named Arctic Frost.

Steve Bannon wants to make one thing clear: He did his time in a brutal prison, not in a leisurely camp like that p*ssy [Michael] Cohen. Bannon made that comment, and shared details about his four-month prison term for a forthcoming book from ABC Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl titled Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America; an excerpt from the book, set to be released on Oct. 28, was published by The Atlantic on Tuesday.

President Trump signed a series of executive orders, including one terminating the security clearances of those who work at the law firm Perkins Coie.
