How Neil Gorsuch Bucked Trump—And Almost Derailed His Own Nomination
Good morning from the Hive newsroom! Ahead of Donald Trump’s arraignment tomorrow in Manhattan, Kelly Rissman writes how the former president’s campaign is cashing in, raising more than $4 million in the 24 hours after the news broke. (Trump is also planning to give remarks at Mar-a-Lago Tuesday night). Meanwhile, former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson announced yesterday that he will run for president, while suggesting Trump’s indictment is “too much of a sideshow and distraction.”
Elsewhere, in an excerpt from her new book, Nine Black Robes, Joan Biskupic chronicles Neil Gorsuch’s trajectory to the Supreme Court—and how it was almost derailed after the conservative justice “expressed dismay at Trump’s attacks on federal judges, particularly related to the Muslim-country travel ban.” Thanks for reading.

In her forthcoming book, Nine Black Robes, Joan Biskupic chronicles everything from Gorsuch’s family history to his tumultuous nomination in 2017, which was nearly nixed after the conservative judge did what no one on the right dared at the time: defy Trump.
