A key ally of Donald Trump filed a complaint Tuesday against a district judge out of Washington, DC, who appeared on CNN last week and took jabs at the former president. US District Judge Reggie Walton went on the cable news network to discuss Trump’s attacks on the judge overseeing his “hush money” case out of Manhattan and was openly critical of the 45th president. Mike Davis, the founder of the Article III Project, an advocacy group that pushes for the nominations of conservative judges, ripped Walton’s CNN appearance as “judicial misconduct.” “We are seeing a dangerous pattern in which...

There’s a whistleblower in her office who we have talked to, our, the committee staff,” Jordan said, and had to pause as the crowd noise interrupted him. “The whistleblower — I think she’s like 4-foot-11 — but Fani Willis had seven police escort her out when she fired this lady, because this lady raised the concern that Ms. Willis was not spending federal funds — not following the grant, the rules of the grant and the grant dollars in the appropriate manner.... Jordan explained that the information obtained from the whistleblower — identified by the Washington Examiner as former Fulton...

From the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump:An appellate judge LIFTED the unconstitutional gag order that was disgracefully imposed upon me by the Trump-hating judge in New York City.Since I am now 100% free to speak without being censored for the time being, I’m going to tell you exactly what’s on my mind.This sham New York Trial is nothing but a political witch hunt incited by rabid anti-Trump Democrats – both the Judge AND the Attorney General – who want to impose the “corporate death penalty” upon me and even my family.

Former President Donald Trump’s defense team filed a motion for mistrial in New York Attorney General Letitia James’s civil fraud prosecution against him. At the core of the filing is the ongoing concern Trump and his lawyers have over public perception and political bias – especially as it pertains to Judge Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over the case, and his law clerk Allison Greenfield. “This appearance of bias threatens both Defendants’ rights and the integrity of the judiciary as an institution,” Trump’s attorneys argued in the filing, adding: “Greenfield’s unprecedented role in the trial and extensive, public partisan activities,...

Donald Trump doesn't know Thomas Robertson. But the former president’s fate appears inextricably tied to that of the former Army Rangerm, who was convicted last year for his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021 protest at the U.S. Capitol. That’s because the prosecutions of Trump and his supporters, including Robertson, have often depended on reimagining the law in novel ways. To advance the narrative that Trump colluded with Russia, for example, the Department of Justice seized on the little-used Foreign Agents Registration Act to justify probes and wiretaps of Trump allies. In the Georgia election fraud case against Trump and...

A New York judge has fined former President Donald Trump $5,000 on Friday over a disparaging post about a court staffer on his campaign website. This development comes after a gag order was imposed on Trump, prohibiting him from making supposedly incendiary statements about individuals involved in the civil fraud trial. Along with the fine, Judge Arthur Engoron also threatened to hold Trump in contempt of court for future offenses, meaning the former president could face jail time.Former President Donald Trump was fined $5,000 on Friday after his disparaging social media post about a key court staffer in his New...

Nobody is above the law, unless your name is Letitia James. It appears as though New York’s first black, female state Attorney General has a dark money problem.

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...

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.

If you read nothing else this week, read Victor Davis Hanson’s article in American Greatness detailing how Obama began “the most radical revolutions” in our history. As legal matters -- the lawfare waged against former President Trump and the Department of Justice’s pussyfooting around the Biden bribery took this week’s center stage, it’s useful to note his remarks on the weaponization of justice in this country. Here’s a sample: Administrations and their efforts to stock the justice department with supporters come and go. But in the last decade the Left has viewed the Department of Justice as a political extension...
