Sidney Blumenthal: Prosecutors are charging Trump using laws made to fight the KKK. Here’s why

Prosecutors charging Trump with KKK lawsn Tuesday, in response to the federal case brought by special prosecutor Jack Smith over Trump’s alleged role in the January 6 insurrection, Trump threatened a new round of violence – or “bedlam” – if he loses the election. In early February, the US supreme court will also rule on the Colorado supreme court’s decision to disqualify Trump from the state’s ballot for his part in the insurrection.

The two cases might appear to be disconnected, but they are inseparable in law and history. They are united by Congress’s Reconstruction-era action to enforce the 14th amendment’s extension of constitutional rights against the former Confederates’ campaign of racial and political violence – the Ku Klux Klan Acts of 1870 and 1871.

Fani Willis breaks silence on misconduct accusations

Fani Willis answers allegationsDistrict Attorney Fani Willis on Sunday defended the qualifications of special prosecutor Nathan Wade in the state’s case against former President Trump, marking her first public remarks since allegations of misconduct involving Wade were weighed against her last week.

Willis, speaking Sunday with a congregation at the Big Bethel AME Church ahead of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, did not directly address the allegations of an improper relationship with Wade, but fiercely rejected claims she acted improper in hiring Wade in the state’s election interference case involving Trump and more than a dozen co-defendants.

Supreme Court set for pivotal cases that could claw back federal administrative power

SCOTUS set to limit aadministrative power to protect consumers

The Supreme Court will hear a dispute this week that could lead to a decision dramatically clawing back the power of federal agencies, putting a number of consumer and environmental protections in jeopardy.

At issue is whether courts should defer to interpretation by federal agencies when a law could have multiple meanings, a practice known as Chevron deference.

In practical terms, this means the court is considering whether to weaken the ability of a presidential administration to put forward regulations meant to counter pollution or climate change or to protect consumers without clearer authorization from Congress.

Hunter Biden pleads not guilty to federal tax charges after an earlier deal imploded

Hunter Biden pleads not guilty President Joe Biden’s son pleaded not guilty Thursday to federal tax charges filed after the collapse of a plea deal that could have spared him the spectacle of a criminal trial during the 2024 campaign.

Hunter Biden has been accused of nine felony and misdemeanor tax offenses. The charges stem from what federal prosecutors say was a four-year scheme to skip out on paying the $1.4 million he owed to the IRS and instead use the money to fund an extravagant lifestyle that by his own admission included drugs and alcohol.

“We’re here today because you’ve been accused by the United States of a criminal offense,” Judge Mark Scarsi said to Biden, who entered the not guilty plea himself.

The judge set a tentative trial date of June 20 during the half-hour-long hearing.

'Control your client': Takeaways from closing arguments in Donald Trump's NY real estate fraud trial

Trump clains political persecutionThe day began with a bomb scare, peaked with a Donald Trump rant, and included a scolding from the judge. "Control your client," an exasperated state Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron admonished at one point in the closing arguments.

The former president insisted Thursday in the final hours of his New York fraud trial that the case was politically motivated and brought for publicity, drawing the curtain on proceedings that could bar him from running a business in the state and cost him hundreds of millions of dollars.

Trump's lawyer calls fraud case 'manufactured,' as judge faces threat

Trump trial in NYCDonald Trump's lawyer argued on Thursday that a New York civil fraud case that threatens the former U.S. president's business empire is motivated by politics, as a threat against the judge overseeing the case prompted the court to bolster security on the trial's final day.

"This entire case is a manufactured claim to pursue a political agenda," attorney Christopher Kise argued as Trump watched from the defense table. "It has always been press releases and posturing, but no proof at all."

New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking to ban Trump from the state's real-estate industry and force nearly $370 million in penalties for allegedly manipulating the value of his properties to win better financing terms. Justice Arthur Engoron has already ruled that Trump and his company engaged in fraud.

The New York Times reported that authorities in suburban Nassau County responded to a bomb threat at Engoron's home. The judge has been a frequent target of Trump's criticism.
