Trump's Presidential Immunity Oral Arguments Begin April 25 In Supreme Court

Supreme CourtThe Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on April 25 on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal charges in his federal election interference case.

The criminal case being prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith is on pause while the high court considers Trump’s claim that an ex-president cannot face charges for official acts performed while in office.

It could take months for the justices to issue an opinion. If they rule that the election case can go forward, Trump could be on trial shortly before the November presidential election.

Sure, Nikki Haley lost big on Super Tuesday. But warning signs for Trump are flashing.

Trump and Haley

Nikki Haley does not like to lose. And she didn't get in the Republican presidential primary to play games.

Haley, the former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, often points to her winning record in politics. Before she entered this year's race, she hadn’t lost an election.

Yet, in the nominating contests so far, the only win Haley has notched is in last weekend's primary in Washington, D.C. Former President Donald Trump has dominated everything else.

Trump demands new E. Jean Carroll trial, citing ‘restrictions’ on testimony

E.Jean CarrollFormer President Trump demanded he receive a new trial after a jury ordered him to pay $83.3 million in advice columnist E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan has previously rejected many of the arguments contained within Trump’s two separate post-trial motions, both filed Tuesday.

In particular, the former president took aim at how Kaplan, an appointee of former President Clinton, heavily restricted what Trump could tell jurors while on the witness stand.

Kaplan imposed the limitations after finding Trump liable for defamation prior to trial because of Carroll’s win in a separate lawsuit last year. January’s trial was limited to the issue of damages.

TVNL Comment:  Sore loser Trump hasn't learned that you can't keep breaking the law and demanding a new trial.  How do so many Americans support this ugly man?

Text messages shed new light on scope of fake electors plot after 2020 election

Kenneth Chesebro

Right-wing attorney Kenneth Chesebro, who helped devise the Trump campaign’s fake electors plot, continued proposing ways to overturn the 2020 presidential election even after the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, according to texts and emails made public Monday as part of a lawsuit.

The texts also reveal that an attorney for Donald Trump claimed to have sent a memo to the White House – “the real decision makers” – about how to carry out the fake electors plot across the country.

The new materials were disclosed after Chesebro and former Trump lawyer Jim Troupis, who are both from Wisconsin, settled a lawsuit brought by Wisconsin’s real Democratic electors from 2020. These revelations build on what is known about Trump’s efforts to cling to power, which led to federal and state election subversion indictments. Chesebro pleaded guilty in Georgia and has been identified by CNN as one of the unindicted co-conspirators in the federal case. Trump has denied wrongdoing.

Ex-Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg Pleads Guilty To Perjury In Civil Fraud Trial

Weisselberg pleads guilty

Allen Weisselberg, Donald Trump’s former corporate finance chief, has pleaded guilty to two counts of perjury in connection with testimony he gave during the former president’s civil fraud trial last fall.

The 76-year-old surrendered to the Manhattan district attorney’s office early Monday following weeks of negotiations with prosecutors. He will be sentenced to five months in jail, according to The Associated Press.

“Allen Weisselberg looks forward to putting this situation behind him,” Seth L. Rosenberg, one of Weisselberg’s lawyers, said in an emailed statement to HuffPost.

Weisselberg, who was also sentenced last year to five months in prison after being found guilty of multiple tax fraud charges in 2022, had been suspected of lying about his former boss’ finances during a sworn deposition in May and while on the stand during Trump’s trial in October.

AIPAC uncorks $100 million war chest to sink progressive candidates

AIPAC to spend big aginst progressives

A California Democrat running for Rep. Katie Porter’s seat suddenly became the target of an unexpected barrage of negative ads from the nation’s premier pro-Israel group this year. So he emailed a former Michigan representative, Andy Levin, for advice.

Levin was ousted from his House seat in 2022, after the American Israel Public Affairs Committee spent $4 million against him. Levin was one of a handful of Democrats targeted by AIPAC last cycle, when the group went after a range of progressive candidates in mostly open House primaries over their criticism of Israel.

He told Dave Min, who has not called for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza but has privately criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to reach out to progressive Jewish groups for help. That’s what Levin had done.

Trump confuses Obama for Biden again at Virginia rally speech

Trump confuses Obama for BidenDonald Trump confused Barack Obama for Joe Biden at a rally in Virginia on Saturday, triggering further questions about the age of the likely Republican presidential nominee who has made a string of such gaffes.

It also comes at a time of similar concerns about Biden. At 77 and 81 respectively, Trump and Biden are the oldest people to run for the presidency in US history.

“Putin has so little respect for Obama that he’s starting to throw around the nuclear word. You heard that. Nuclear. He’s starting to talk nuclear weapons today,” said Trump, on Saturday night in Richmond.

The crowd reportedly went silent as the Trump referenced Obama, who left office more than seven years ago. It’s the third time Trump has made the blunder in the past six months.
