US judge delays Trump's federal 2020 election subversion trial

US Judge delays trial

A US judge has formally postponed Donald Trump’s trial on federal charges that the former president sought to overturn the 2020 election results.

The trial was due to start on 4 March in Washington before the delay ordered from the federal judge Tanya Chutkan.

Trial delays in general are not unusual in court cases. The delay in Trump’s trial in particular stems from an appeal by the ex-president that claims he is immune to prosecution for actions taken while he was in the Oval Office.

Chutkan had indicated in January that Trump’s original trial date – chosen last summer – would not hold because the case had been frozen by the former president’s appeal.

Fani Willis says she's staying on Donald Trump's Georgia election case despite accusations

Fani WillisFulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Friday refused to step down over a relationship with the private lawyer she hired as special proecutor in the election fraud case against former President Donald Trump and 14 others, saying she had done nothing wrong.

"In 2022, District Attorney Willis and I developed a personal relationship in addition to our professional association and friendship," special prosecutor Nathan Wade said in court documents filed on Friday. "I have no financial interest in the outcome of the 2020 election interference case orin the conviction of any defendant."

"To be absolutely clear, the personal relationship between Special Prosecutor Wade and District Attorney Willis has never involved direct or indirect financial benefit to District Attorney Willis," the DA's office said in a court filing.

Willis has charged Trump and a host of other attorneys, campaign officials, and election workers over their alleged – and unsuccessful – efforts to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 victory in the state.

Special counsel questioned witnesses about 2 rooms FBI didn’t search inside Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence: Sources

Special counsel questioned witness about secret room at Mar a Lago

Special counsel Jack Smith’s team has questioned several witnesses about a closet and a so-called “hidden room” inside former President Donald Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago that the FBI didn’t check while searching the estate in August 2022, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

As described to ABC News, the line of questioning in several interviews ahead of Trump’s indictment last year on classified document charges suggests that — long after the FBI seized dozens of boxes and more than 100 documents marked classified from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate — Smith’s team was trying to determine if there might still be more classified documents there.

Ex-CIA software engineer sentenced to 40 years for giving secrets to WikiLeaks

Ex CIA software engineer gets 40 years

A former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) software engineer who was convicted for carrying out the largest theft of classified information in the agency’s history and of charges related to child abuse imagery was sentenced to 40 years in prison on Thursday.

The 40-year sentence by US district judge Jesse Furman was for “crimes of espionage, computer hacking, contempt of court, making false statements to the FBI, and child pornography”, federal prosecutors said in a statement. The judge did not impose a life sentence as sought by prosecutors.

Joshua Schulte was convicted in July 2022 on four counts each of espionage and computer hacking and one count of lying to FBI agents, after giving classified materials to the whistleblowing agency WikiLeaks in the so-called Vault 7 leak. Last August, a judge mostly upheld the conviction.
