A co-founder of the Lincoln Project, the super PAC founded by Republican strategists known for its viral ads tearing into Donald Trump, is calling for the organisation to be “reformed or shut down,” as a new a Showtime documentary delves into the numerous financial scandals and interpersonal conflicts that have dogged the controversial organisation.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says that Donald Trump’s ego may never recover from the blow dealt to him by Joe Biden in 2020.

In an appearance on ABC’s This Week on Sunday the former Trump ally mocked his fellow 2016 contender over a photo recently posted by the president showing him behind a large, wooden desk at Mar-a-Lago that bears striking resemblances to the massive Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

Mr Christie said that the president’s choice of decoration showed that Mr Trump still needed to think of himself as commander-in-chief, which he argued was the underlying reason why he and his team had held on to documents, including classified materials, rather than turn them over to the National Archives.

Former Trump ally and New Jersey Governor Chris Christe is considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 in the Trump-critic lane of the party.

“I’m definitely thinking about it. I haven’t made any final decisions about what I’m going to do or not do and I won’t make any final decision until next year,” Mr Christie told Fox News while campaigning in North Scituate in Rhode Island.

“Once you’ve run for president and you’ve had the opportunity to meet folks all across the country, and you see what’s going on in this country now, it’s hard to turn your back on that,” he added. “So I’m going to continue to be a force, whether it’s as a candidate or in supporting other candidates … to try and make the country better.”

He was asked if there’s any space for a Trump critic in a GOP primary.

“Of course, there is,” he said. “I disagree with the premise that [the GOP is] dominated by Donald Trump. I don’t think that it is. What it’s dominated by are conservative principles that we want to stand for.”

“We want to win again. The problem here as you know is that we haven’t done much winning since 2016,” he said. “It’s time to start winning again and that’s the kind of approach if I run that I would bring. We need to nominate someone who can win a general election. Not someone who will go down in flames in one.”

The former Archivist of the United States under President George HW Bush has said he’s worried about Donald Trump trying to delegitimize the National Archives and Records Administration.

Don Wilson told Insider about his concerns after Mr Trump claimed that Mr Bush took millions of files to a “Chinese restaurant-slash-bowling alley” with a “broken front door and broken windows”.

“I’m rather appalled, quite frankly,” Mr Wilson told the outlet. “Obviously either his advisers, speech writers, or someone doesn’t really get their facts right. And then I guess he thinks they make a good sound bite, but they’re completely false.”

“Reports that indicate or imply that those Presidential records were in the possession of the former Presidents or their representatives, after they left office, or that the records were housed in substandard conditions, are false and misleading,” NARA told Insider in a statement.

Former reporter Kari Lake was on CNN this Sunday facing questions from Dana Bash when she dodged multiple inquiries regarding whether she would accept the result of the election if she lost.

After sparring over Ms Lake’s false claims about the 2020 election for several minutes, Bash pivoted and asked whether Ms Lake would accept the result of next month’s midterms in Arizona, where she is facing Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs in the governor’s race.

Deflecting several time, Ms Lake answered finally: “I’m going to win the election and I’m going to accept that result.”

It’s an important question given Ms Lake’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election and her frequent mention of that view on the campaign trail — but the Republican candidate was furious with Bash for bringing it up over other issues like the economy or immigration.

“You want to have me on here and talk 2020 election, and you’re the one who accuses me of constantly talking about it?” she asked.

Bash responded: “I would never bring this up, ever, had you not been bringing this up, consistently, on the campaign trail.”
