When Schmitt was Missouri's AG he brought a lawsuit to stop student debt cancellation. The basic facts that lawsuit was based on were false. Getting the facts wrong is Schmitt's special skill, but when SCOTUS is politically motivated to do something the facts & law don't matter.
A screenshot of the headline from this article: https://newrepublic.com/article/172337/case-against-student-debt-relief

They’re not defending Eric Schmitt so much as defending the conspiracy theory defense of Trump’s coup attempt. By mixing up sports teams when lying to discredit Jack Smith, Schmitt made an error that cannot stand: instantly disproven on something so easy to grasp that insinuation doesn’t work.

Interesting details on how the Iowa steel deal got done. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/u...
Mesabi executives have leaned on a Trump-world insider as the company has sought to expand its footprint in the United States. The company hired Jason Miller, a longtime Trump adviser, as its lobbyist, paying him at least $240,000 through his company SHW Partners, according to lobbying disclosure records. The government of India also hired Mr. Miller’s company, paying $150,000 per month for “strategic counsel, tactical planning and government relations assistance on policy matters before the U.S. government,” according to federal filings under the Foreign Agent Registration Act.
