2 renowned strategists say the US should defend Taiwan with nuclear strikes. Experts say such talk is just a taste of what’s to come.

Trump complains that Kamala Harris calls him a felon as part of latest bid to get hush-money judge to recuse himself

Kamala Harris framing the presidential race as "prosecutor vs. felon" may have touched a nerve with Donald Trump.Such framing is "false" and "inaccurate," according to a new defense filing that asks the judge in his hush-money case to voluntarily step down prior to a pending sentencing that Trump has also challenged."Harris immediately framed her candidacy with a specific false reference to this case as a contest of 'prosecutor vs. convicted felon,'" Trump's filing complains.Harris's framing is an "inaccurate attack," it adds, without describing an inaccuracy.
