Far-left Judge Engoron put Trump on the witness stand after he blasted the former president and accused him of potentially violating the gag order with his remarks to the press. He also fined Trump $10,000. Radical Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million in ‘damages’ when there is no victim in this fraud case and she is also seeking to ban Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York. President Trump briefly spoke with the press during the mid-morning break. He criticized Michael Cohen as a “discredited witness” and called Arthur Engoron a...

A third attorney who falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen flipped Tuesday and agreed to cooperate in the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia — saying she had “deep remorse” for her actions. Jenna Ellis, 38, tearfully said she “failed” to do “due diligence” on claims that the election was stolen through fraud in swing states including Georgia, where President Biden beat Trump by fewer than 12,000 votes — joining former Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and Ken Chesebro in also pleading guilty. *** “I believe in and I value election integrity,” she went on. “If I...

Lara Logan discusses her upcoming investigative series on January 6, titled "The Rest of The Story," which will be released shortly on Twitter/X, with Charlie Kirk: CHARLIE KIRK: How many federal agents do you think were present on January 6? What does your reporting suggest would be a fair estimate? LARA LOGAN: I think that's unknowable. Right now that is unknowable for us because that information is being withheld. The FBI was forced to acknowledge during the Proud Boys trial that they sent 30 or 40 agents undercover on the ground. We know from the FBI whistleblowers that there were...

CNN — A federal judge on Monday issued a gag order on former President Donald Trump, limiting what he can say about special counsel Jack Smith’s federal prosecution into his alleged attempt to subvert in the 2020 presidential election.The order restricts Trump’s ability to publicly target court personnel, potential witnesses, or the special counsel and his staff. The order did not impose restrictions on disparaging comments about Washington, DC, – where the jury will take place – or certain comments about the Justice Department at large, both of which the government requested.

A New York Appellate Judge on Friday smacked down far-left Judge Arthur Engoron and paused his order to dissolve Trump Org. Last week Judge Engoron issued an order to rescind Trump’s business licenses as punishment in Letitia James civil lawsuit. Engoron effectively ordered the dissolution of Trump Org. “Engoron ordered that some of Trump’s business licenses be rescinded as punishment, making it difficult or impossible for them to do business in New York, and said he would continue to have an independent monitor oversee Trump Organization operations.” – AP reported last week. “If not successfully appealed, the order would strip...

Far-left Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron barred Trump and Trump’s family members from transferring assets or creating new entities without notifying an appointed court monitor on day 4 of Letitia James’ Stalinist show trial. The independent court monitor, Barbara Jones, is a former federal judge appointed by Bill Clinton. Nothing to see here, move along. ABC News reported: As the questioning of witnesses continues, Judge Engoron has issued an order outlining the next steps to dissolve Trump’s companies in New York. Engoron last week found that Trump and his adult sons used fraudulent documents to conduct business, and ordered...

The Manhattan judge deciding Donald Trump’s $250 million civil fraud trial lost his cool on Wednesday — slamming his hand on the bench and snapping, “This is ridiculous” — as the former president’s lawyers grilled his ex-accountant over inconsistent testimony. The judge’s annoyed reaction came after Trump’s side claimed that Donald Bender, a partner at accounting firm Mazars USA, was evading their questions. The attorneys had also repeatedly insisted they needed to meticulously go through Trump’s financial records with Bender “year by year.” “Don’t waste time,” Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron said sternly. Trump attorney Jesus Suarez had spent...

Here for today's kangaroo court in New York... Lots of links to live video, lots of news reports. Here is an offered live thread for anyone, like me, now watching...

House GOP members are preparing a motion to expel Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., amid his renewed threat to pursue a motion to vacate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The House Republican members will seek to expel Gaetz if the ethics committee report comes back with findings of guilt, Fox News has learned. One member told Fox News the report is mostly written but does not know what it contains. Yet following threats to vacate McCarthy, the member said of Gaetz, "No one can stand him at this point. A smart guy without morals." It takes a two-thirds vote to expel. ......

The Georgia prosecution of former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants is staying in Fulton County court. At least for now. U.S. District Court Judge Steve Jones rejected bids by four defendants in the election subversion case who had wanted to move the proceedings to federal court. In written orders handed down Friday, Jones denied the requests of former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, ex-Georgia Republican Party chairman David Shafer, state Sen. Shawn Still, and onetime Coffee County Republican Party chairwoman Cathy Latham, remanding them back to Fulton County Superior Court. “We are disappointed with the Court’s ruling. We will...

Donald Trump, his adult children, and his former “fixer” Michael Cohen are among the witnesses the New York attorney general plans to call at an upcoming trial over her $250 million lawsuit against the former president. Trump, 77, is listed as “witness No. 27” in Attorney General Letitia James’ list of people her office anticipates possibly calling to the stand during the Manhattan Supreme Court trial, which could start as soon as Monday and last up to three months. James’ office, which is seeking at least $250 million and an order barring the ex-commander-in-chief from doing business in New York,...

Politico reporter Kyle Cheney is clearly on pins and needles waiting for the January 6 trial of Donald Trump, which isn't until next March. But on Monday, he offered "pregame" excitement in a story titled Inside the courtroom of Trump’s D.C. judge."Cheney began: "U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan is poised to preside over a historic trial that will feature a defendant unlike any who has set foot in her court or any other: former President Donald Trump."Although Cheney noted she was an Obama appointee, the judge was presented as an impartial hero against Trump: "Chutkan probed potential jurors’ strong...

Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis fired back at Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan’s Thursday over his probe of her Trump election interference case. Late last month, Jordan (R-Oh.) demanded a tranche of documents detailing communications between Willis and federal officials about former President Donald Trump, arguing her case could interfere in the 2024 election.

Federal District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who oversees the election interference case against former President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., revoked an earlier motion she approved after lawyers representing President Trump said court rules were not followed. On Sept. 5, prosecutors on special counsel Jack Smith’s team had asked the judge to allow documents to be filed under seal— hidden from the public—but allow redacted versions of the documents on the public docket. That is routine in cases that may involve classified or otherwise sensitive information. Judge Chutkan promptly approved the motion. Shortly after, President Trump’s lawyer opposed and asked the...

The five Proud Boys members who were unjustly charged with “Seditious conspiracy” for a crime they never committed and found guilty by a kangaroo court they never had a chance with.Washington DC is broken. And the courts are ruled by complete partisan monsters who use the iron fist of the law to humiliate and destroy those who do not believe in their same Marxist utopian vision for America.This week the families and friends of the five Proud Boys political prisoners flew in to Washington DC for the sentencing today.U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly oversaw an all-day hearing Tuesday in the...

Anna Bower @AnnaBower New: Federal court judge DENIES Mark Meadows’s bid to stave off arrest or immediately remove his criminal case in Fulton County to federal court.

Sometime in the next three weeks, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is expected to ask a grand jury to indict multiple people for trying to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election result. July 31 is the first of 10 days between now and August 18 that Willis has instructed most of her staff to work remotely, citing safety precautions.That window comes as U.S. Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith is preparing to bring criminal charges stemming from his federal investigation into the Jan, 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Willis says the two investigations have not coordinated.“I don’t know...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) urged former President Trump and his supporters not to interfere with the legal process as it plays out in Georgia following Monday night’s indictment. “As a nation built on the rule of law, we urge Mr. Trump, his supporters, and his critics to allow the legal process to proceed without outside interference,” the top Democrats in Congress wrote in a joint statement issued late Monday. Their request comes after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) announced the fourth indictment against Trump since April. The 19 co-defendants...

UPDATE: Primed for immediate nullification. The indictment was briefly unsealed before the grand jury voted. This is clear and demonstrable evidence of a prejudicial and malicious prosecution. Divine providence.The Fulton County DA Fani Willis has been preparing a malicious prosecution against Donald Trump for over a year.The novel theories around the prosecutorial approach have been widely discussed and the grand jury foreperson previously gave rather odd public statements during gleeful interviews about the evidence the jury had received. It is and was ridiculous in the extreme; however, that’s how lawfare works.Today Reuters and other media noticed the court filings against...
