Former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of “Eric” in the Republican primary for a US Senate seat to replace retiring Sen. Roy Blunt has sent members of the party into a frenzy. There are two GOP frontrunners named Eric in this race – former Gov. Eric Greitens and state Attorney General Eric Schmitt. Both appeared to assume they had been endorsed by Mr Trump. There is also a third GOP candidate named Eric McElroy on the Republican primary ballot. Speaking on Twitter, Mr Schmidt wrote: “I am grateful for President Trump’s support.” But Mr. Greitens also announced that he was “honored to receive President Trump’s endorsement.” “Just had a great phone call with President Trump, thanking him for his support! Together we will do MAGA and Save America,” he added. Meanwhile, Guy Reffitt, the Jan. 6 rioter who was found guilty of five felony counts earlier this year, received on Monday the longest sentence handed down to a participant in the Capitol riot so far. Reffitt was the first Capitol riot defendant to be tried before a jury after pleading not guilty.

What would happen if the January 6 panel issues a criminal impeachment against Trump?
ICYMI: The House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6 moved last week to provide transcripts of witness interviews to the Justice Department, once again raising the specter of what that would mean and whether it would prompt the DOJ to take public action with faster pace.
