Julie Kelly đşđ¸ @julie_kelly2 Spent most of the day at Ft. Pierce federal courthouse to cover two hearings in classified docs case. Special Counsel team's frustration with Judge Aileen Cannon is really evident. And it's glorious. David Harbach, one of Smith's lead prosecutors and usually a cool customer in court, had a series of mini temper tantrums this morning. At times pounding his fist on the podium and clapping his hands in anger to emphasize a point, Harbach was totally unprofessional, demeaning, and petulant. Cannon asked Harbach to "calm down" during one diatribe about accusations DOJ threatened one of the...

House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik filed an ethics complaint against Judge Juan Merchan for an alleged conflict of interest pertaining to his daughterâs role at a firm known for representing Democratic politicians. Merchan, an acting Supreme Court justice in New York, is presiding over the unprecedented criminal trial against former President Trump stemming from charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Stefanik, R-N.Y., filed the complaint with the New York State Commission on Judiciary Conduct, warning that Trump, who pleaded not guilty to all 34 counts of falsifying business records, faces "a maximum of 136 yearsâ imprisonment" if...

As is evident to anyone with even half a brain, the Trump trial in New York City is a farce. What many may not know is how Donald Trump has been hunted since the day he declared himself a candidate for President a second time. We shall see the amazing coincidences that have followed since. Joe BidenEven before Trump announced his candidacy for a second term as President Joe Biden was all but ordering Merrick Garland to prosecute Trump. That set in motion a galaxy of actions with the single goal of imprisoning Biden's political opposition all in the name...

Newly disclosed images show former President Donald Trumpâs valet Walt Nauta moving boxes in Mar-a-Lago in June 2022, not long after investigators lodged a subpoena, according to prosecutors. The images came in a broader tranche of previously sealed filings that were made public Tuesday ahead of a Wednesday hearing on Nautaâs bid to toss out the indictment against him on the grounds of vindictive prosecution. Prosecutors allege that the boxes Nauta helped move contained classified information. A grand jury slapped a subpoena against Trump in May 2022 for all outstanding documents, and his attorney Christina Bobb later signed off the...

Some background on the Deep State vendetta to stop or kill Trump: BREAKING: Newly Unsealed Doc Reveals Biden FBI Authorized the Use of Deadly Force During Mar-a-Lago Raid â Armed Agents Prepared to Confront Trump ----------- Another note: This raid was probably done to try to retrieve the missing binder on âCrossfire Hurricaneâ, the plot to destroy Trump over the Russia collusion hoax. I hope Trump still has it and that it is digitized and placed in multiple places where it will be mass distributed over the internet if he is not able to do a routine delay. A dead...

*** [I]n my 60 years as a lawyer and law professor, I have never seen a spectacle such as the one I observed sitting in the front row of the courthouse yesterday. The judge in Donald Trumpâs trial was an absolute tyrant, though he appeared to the jury to be a benevolent despot. He seemed automatically to be ruling against the defendant at every turn. Many experienced lawyers raised their eyebrows when the judge excluded obviously relevant evidence when offered by the defense, while including irrelevant evidence offered by the prosecution. But when the defenseâs only substantive witness, the experienced...

Muy Macho Joe Scarborough has once again proven himself the toughest hombre this side of Nantucket. Among several past displays of his sizzling manliness, Scarborough once boasted he'd force a tourist to eat his camera if he found him snapping pics inside the Capitol somewhere Scarborough didn't approve. [snip] Scarborough then trained his macho sights on Trump. Joe said that Judge Merchan has shown "restraint" in the face of Trump "going out and, and attacking him personally, suggesting that he's corrupt, suggesting that the court system is rigged, making it extraordinarily personal toward him and members of his family." Scarborough...

An attorney who once represented Michael Cohen testified Monday that Donald Trumpâs fixer-turned-foe had told him the ex-president âknew nothingâ about the hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels â moments before irking the judge by rolling his eyes and muttering on the stand. Robert âBobâ Costello, the second witness called by Trumpâs lawyers at his Manhattan criminal trial, contradicted previous testimony by Cohen that the real estate mogul was aware of the deal to pay Daniels $130,000 to silence her story about having a tryst with him. âMichael Cohen said numerous times that President Trump knew nothing about...

Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi unveiled âThe Apprenticeâ at the Cannes film festival on Monday. The film is about Donald Trumpâs rise to one of the most successful âwinnersâ in the New York real estate game. One scene shows Trump raping his wife Ivanna. Another shows Trump popping amphetamine pills and getting liposuction. The ghouls at the Cannes Film Festival gave an 8-minute standing ovation. ââThe Apprentice,â the story of the 45th and possibly 47th presidentâs early years as a real estate developer, earned a eight-minute standing ovation on Monday. Itâs probably safe to assume that the film festival crowd isnât...

President Trumpâs election lawyer John Eastman on Friday was arrested in Phoenix on conspiracy, fraud, forgery and other felony charges related to the 2020 Trump alternate electors plan even though he had ZERO communication with the Arizona electors! Last month Trump 2020 alternate electors, GOP state legislators, former Arizona GOP chairwoman Kelli Ward and others were indicted by a state grand jury in Arizona. A total of 18 people involved in the Arizona alternate electors plan were indicted by the Arizona grand jury last month.

Cohenâs testimony on cross-examination unraveled his claims about Trumpâs motivations, a phone call he previously alleged, and his collusion with Bragg.Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Braggâs flimsy case against former President Donald Trump rests on the testimony of its star witness, convicted liar Michael Cohen. But unsurprisingly, Cohen â and his allegations against Trump â fell apart on the witness stand under cross-examination by Trumpâs defense team on Thursday.Even CNN couldnât help but admit it.âI donât think Iâve ever seen a star cooperating witness get his knees chopped out quite as clearly and dramatically as what just happened with Michael Cohen,â...

Day 18 of the historic first criminal proceedings against former President Donald Trump is approaching in the New York hush money trial. However, legal experts say prosecutors have not yet determined what âother crimeâ is required to raise misdemeanor charges to a felony conviction. On Thursday, Michael Cohen, the former presidentâs lawyer and fixer, was back on the witness stand for his second cross-examination by the defense team. The trial is proceeding smoothly and ahead of schedule. Still, there is a clear flaw in the prosecutionâs case that Trump is guilty of 34 felonies related to first-degree business record falsifications....

The world is watching New York City turning into a banana republic. A lot of investors and job creators are watching too. They are wondering about their money, and what a partisan AG and DA will do to their investments if they donât want to pay to play. I remember a Mexican investor once telling me that he invests in the U.S. because he trusted the judicial system, no matter who was president. My guess is that investors are looking at New York City now and wondering, âWhy?â Believe it or not, but New York City may be arresting an...

Legal experts believe Donald Trump could have flouted his court-imposed gag order by apparently manufacturing a scenario where his supporters communicated on his behalf. According to Newsweek, Trump has been penning notes for his political sympathizers to read outside the courthouse during his New York criminal trial, a move which could contravene the gag order. The purpose of the order is to prevent Trump from talking about the jury or any witnesses in the hush money case. "Those notes are not privileged documents, and if their contents mirrored some of what Trump's GOP cronies said to the press, the notes...

Stormy Daniels is joining the long list of celebrities who have threatened to flee America because of Donald Trump. Given that Cher, Barbra Streisand, Snoop Dogg and every other Trump-hating celebrity is still stateside, Cockburn is doubtful Daniels will keep her word. In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Barrett Blade, Danielsâs porn star husband, revealed that the couple will likely leave the United States if Trump is acquitted in his hush money trial. âI know that we would like to get on with our lives,â Blade said. âI know that she wants to move past this.â Blade added his...

Donald Trumpâs Manhattan âhush moneyâ trial has been the place for prominent Republicans to see and be seen in recent days â with some hoping the 45th president will remember their loyalty if he gets elected the 47th president this fall, sources tell The Post. On Tuesday, Trump was flanked by former 2024 primary rivals Vivek Ramaswamy and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, as well as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and a pair of Florida GOP congressmen, Byron Donalds and Cory Mills. Other boldface political names to swing by Manhattan Criminal Court include Sens. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Tommy Tuberville...

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday requested the judge overseeing ex-Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon's criminal contempt of Congress case to order that he begin his four-month prison sentence, after an appeals court last week upheld his conviction. Prosecutors said there is no legal basis for Judge Carl Nichols to continue the stay on Bannon serving his sentence after the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals' conclusive ruling that rejected the basis for Bannon's appeal on all grounds. "Consequently, there is no longer a 'substantial question of law that is likely to result in a reversal or an order for a new trial,'"...
