What to watch for at Trump’s Fulton County hearing Friday​

Former President Donald Trump’s attorneys in the Georgia election subversion case are set to defend their client in a Fulton County courtroom for the first time on Friday as they try to have the charges thrown out on First Amendment grounds.

The historic indictment of Trump and 18 co-defendants in August, which includes felony racketeering charges, is one of several legal cases facing the former president. But it’s in Georgia where he and his alleged co-conspirators face a combined 41 state charges for trying to overturn legitimate election results in the 2020 presidential election.

WASHINGTON, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Donald Trump does not have immunity from criminal charges for actions he took as president, a U.S. judge ruled on Friday, rejecting his bid to toss out the case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith accusing him of unlawfully trying to overturn his 2020 election loss.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan found no legal basis for concluding that presidents cannot face criminal charges once they are no longer in office. Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in the 2024 U.S. election, served from 2017 to 2021.

 

Jack Smith Plans to Present Evidence at Trial Showing Trump ‘Baselessly Claiming Election Fraud’ Dating to 2012​

Special Counsel Jack Smith's prosecutors said Tuesday they expect to present evidence at Donald Trump's upcoming criminal trial showing he spread claims of election fraud dating back to at least 2012 as part of their case to help establish the former president's motive and intent.

In a nine-page court filing on Tuesday, Smith's office provided U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan with advance notice they planned to offer evidence pre-dating and post-dating Trump's alleged criminal acts "not to show the defendant’s criminal propensity, but to establish his motive, intent, preparation, knowledge, absence of mistake, and common plan."

Perfect!

How do you enter evidence into the trial...?

DISCOVERY!
 

Baselessly, besides the few court cases that are currently ongoing. And the recently convicted people of fraud in various areas. Totally baseless.

Special counsel takes Trump immunity issue to Supreme Court​

Prosecutors asked the Supreme Court on Monday to decide whether former President Donald Trump can face criminal charges, in a move to keep a March trial date for allegations connected to Trump’s alleged effort to overturn the 2020 election.

Special Counsel John L. “Jack” Smith wrote in Monday’s filing that the court should shoot down one of Trump’s main defenses: that his status as president at the time of the alleged acts protects him from prosecution.

Rudy Giuliani hit with $148M verdict for defaming two Georgia election workers​

WASHINGTON — Rudy Giuliani should pay a pair of Georgia election workers he repeatedly and falsely accused of fraud $148 million in damages, a federal jury said Friday.

The eight-person jury awarded Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, the sum after a four-day trial, during which they testified that Giuliani’s lies in support of former President Donald Trump’s bogus stolen-election claims subjected them to a torrent of racist and violent threats and turned their lives upside down.

“Today’s a good day. A jury stood witness to what Rudy Giuliani did to me and my daughter and held him accountable and for that I’m thankful,” Freeman said.

Moss said, "The lies Rudy Giuliani told about me and my mommy after the 2020 presidential election have changed our lives and the past few years has been devastating."

"We’re very grateful to the jury for taking the time out of their busy lives to do their civic duty to listen to everything that we’ve been going through," she added.

Juries are sending a clear message to right-wing conspiracy peddlers: Pay up​

  • Alex Jones owes the Sandy Hook families he defamed $1 billion.
  • Now Rudy Giuliani owes two Georgia election workers $148 million.
  • The massive judgments are a message that defamation around conspiracy theories is going to be costly.
Rudy Giuliani and Alex Jones have the freedom to spread conspiracy theories, whether they're about the 2020 election or the Sandy Hook mass shooting.

But the two right-wing personalities — one a once-beloved mayor, the other an online commentator who sells supplements — are getting a message from US courts: defamation comes with a hefty price tag.

Juries in both Jones' and Giuliani's cases slapped them with whopping judgments for defaming innocent people with their conspiracy theories, holding them legally liable of sparking harassment from their supporters.

Trump's million dollar expert 'lost all credibility,' judge in NY civil fraud trial says​

NEW YORK, Dec 18 (Reuters) - An expert witness paid nearly $1 million by Donald Trump to testify at his New York civil fraud trial "lost all credibility" by "doggedly" justifying the former U.S. president's business records, the judge overseeing the case said on Monday.

Eli Bartov, a New York University accounting professor, testified on Dec. 7 that he did not see any evidence of fraud in Trump's family real estate company's financial statements, which New York state's attorney general alleges overstated property values in order to win favorable loan and insurance terms.

Bartov testified he spent 650 hours on the case at a rate of $1,350 per hour, meaning his compensation totaled around $877,500. Bartov said his invoices were paid both by the Trump Organization and by Save America, a political action committee supporting Trump's 2024 election campaign.

Trump Georgia Co-Defendant’s Lawyers File Notice to Withdraw From RICO Case​

ATLANTA — Attorneys for Trevian Kutti, one of Donald Trump's co-defendants in the Georgia election racketeering case, filed notice on Monday night they no longer intend to represent the embattled publicist who has gained notoriety for her outlandish public statements.

The three-page notice provides no rationale for her Chicago and Atlanta-based lawyers seeking to jump ship. Reached by phone, Darryl Cohen, Kutti’s Atlanta-based attorney, said that “in order to have a good lawyer-client relationship, the client has to listen, the client has to be on board and you have to be paid.”

Donald Trump's attorneys have now been fined or penalized more than $150 million for participating in efforts to help the former president overturn his election loss, and many of them are still unable to pay ruinous legal fees.

Rudy Giuliani was ordered to pay more than $148 million in damages last week for defaming two Georgia election workers, and he had previously been ordered to pay more than $133,000 in legal fees in the case, and other attorneys for the ex-president have problems of their own, reported Forbes.

'Very dirty game': Trump threatens 'repercussions' for Biden if he doesn't nix indictments​

Donald Trump on Tuesday warned the current president of "repercussions" if he doesn't "withdraw" indictments the ex-president faces.

Trump, who is speaking live in Iowa Tuesday evening, said before going on stage that President Joe Biden should be worried about the "two-way street" he's facing.

"So, now we have reached a point when a President of the United States has WEAPONIZED the Department of Justice as though we were a Third World Country. They don’t want to run against me, and never have," Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. "I am leading in the Polls, by a lot, and based on the results of the failed Biden Administration, this will continue. But 'Justice' Weaponization is a very dirty game to play, and it can have repercussions far greater than anything that Biden or his Thugs could understand."

Judge orders Rudy Giuliani to start paying Georgia election workers $146 million​

Former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss can immediately seek enforcement of their $146 million financial judgment against Rudy Giuliani because there is good reason to assume he will not comply, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

“Giuliani’s failure to ‘satisfy even more modest monetary awards entered earlier in this case,’ provides good cause to believe that he will seek to dissipate or conceal his assets during the 30-day period,” U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell wrote in her order.

Supreme Court won’t fast-track ruling on Trump’s claim of immunity​

December 22, 2023 at 2:30 p.m. EST

The Supreme Court on Friday said it will not fast-track consideration of Donald Trump’s claim that he has immunity from prosecution for actions he took as president, a question crucial to whether he can be put on trial for plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The court’s one-sentence order, from which there were no noted dissents, means a federal appeals court in Washington will be the first to review a district judge’s ruling earlier this month rejecting Trump’s claim of immunity. Arguments are scheduled for Jan. 9.

The little-mentioned civil trial is scheduled to start on January 29, Newsweek reported Monday.

The lawsuit which was filed in 2018 claims Trump was paid millions of dollars to endorse the company ACN, which was marketing a video phone — a technology that became quickly outdated with the advent of smartphones.

Judge Drops Most—but Not All—Counts in Trump’s Jan. 6 Civil Case​

A U.S. district court judge on Tuesday dismissed most of the civil counts against former President Donald Trump and several others for their alleged role in the death of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died while defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Sicknick’s parter, Sandra Garaza, filed the lawsuit last January, alleging wrongful death, conspiracy to violate civil rights, two counts of negligence under an anti-riot law in Washington, D.C., and a claim under the D.C. Survival Act.

But on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, dismissed three out of the five counts—leaving only the conspiracy to violate civil rights charge and the D.C. Survival Act claim.

Appeals Court to Consider Constitutionality of Jack Smith’s Appointment​

Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel might be in trouble.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit advised counsels in Smith’s criminal case against Trump to be prepared during previously scheduled January 9 oral arguments to address issues raised in briefs filed by amicus curiae.

The court made the announcement after an explosive amicus brief filed by attorneys for former Attorney General Ed Meese arguing that Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland is unconstitutional and so the court must reject his prosecution against Trump.

Meese, joined by Steven Calabresi, the co-chairman of the Federalist Society, and Gary Lawson, a prominent constitutional law professor, argues essentially that Garland improperly appointed Smith to an office that does not exist with authority Garland does not possess.

Trump shared a Breitbart News article on the brief, firing off on Smith’s appointment on Truth Social.

“Biden’s Flunky, Deranged Jack Smith, should go to HELL,” Trump wrote, continuing:
