A Trump-boosting Republican member of Congress has been indicted on charges of insider trading — from the White House, no less. Trump's former campaign chairman and another former aide are squabbling in court over who is the bigger criminal. And in a closely watched special congressional race in Ohio — a seat Republicans have held for 35 years in a district Trump won by 11 points and Mitt Romney by 10 — the Republican was clinging to a 0.9-percentage-point lead Wednesday despite Trump's intervention and vast sums of Republican dollars.
"Congratulations to Troy Balderson on a great win in Ohio," Trump proclaimed, even though the number of uncounted provisional and absentee ballots meant the race could not be called.
