Khan and Trump, two scared puppies Nobody in public life knows how to get under former President Donald Trump’s thin skin like former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The way she needles him with her acerbic wit and boss-lady moves is legendary. And so she remarked that he looked like a “scared puppy” at his DC arraignment last week. ‘I wasn’t in… Read more.
Former president Donald Trump pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges that he conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election, appearing in the federal courthouse that sits just blocks away from where his angry supporters stormed the Capitol in an effort to keep him in power.
