Tulsi Gabbard announces she’s no longer a Democrat
The Department of Justice has asked the Supreme Court to refrain from intervening in an ongoing dispute between the government and former president Donald Trump over classified documents found during the 8 August search of his Mar-a-Lago property.
In a brief filed with the high court on Tuesday, the US solicitor general said Justice Clarence Thomas should keep in place a three-judge panel’s order allowing the government to block “highly sensitive” documents from a special master and use them to further the criminal probe into the twice-impeached ex-president.
It comes as Tulsi Gabbard’s decision to quit the Democratic Party left various observers, including Fox News, speculating she could be Mr Trump’s choice for vice president in 2024.
A Twitter poll by a Newsmax journalist showed Ms Gabbard received 37 per cent “yes” votes that asked if she is “really a viable candidate to be a Republican Vice President pick”.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden said on Tuesday that he believes he “can beat Donald Trump again”. Both men are widely expected to run again in 2024, but neither has publicly made their plans official.
