Alina Habba suggests Trump will give her government job to hit Democrats ‘deep and hard’

 

Alina Habba, a lawyer for Trump, suggested at a Turning Point Action conference that if Trump wins another term, he might give her a government position to target his enemies. She emphasized going after Democrats and being relentless in Washington. The remarks hint at Habba possibly being tasked with attacking Trump’s foes from within the government.

She insinuated that Trump’s opponents hide their actions by focusing on him, diverting attention from their own deeds. Habba asserted that after one year, the spotlight will turn on them, promising a thorough investigation. The video of her speech at the conference captures these implications.

 

Trump Endorses Call for Capitol Police Who ‘Beat the Hell Out of Innocent J6 Protesters’ to Be Prosecuted

 

Former President Donald Trump endorsed a call for Capitol Police officers who confronted rioters on January 6, 2021, to be prosecuted for their actions. The call came after videos surfaced showing officers using force against protesters. The riot, incited by Trump’s false election claims, led to the assault of around 140 police officers. Nearly 300 defendants have been charged in connection with the riot, which occurred while Congress was certifying the election results.

During the riot, Trump criticized Vice President Mike Pence for not overturning the election results, further escalating the situation. The violence forced Pence and Congress to evacuate the Capitol. Trump’s tweet endorsing the prosecution of Capitol Police officers follows ongoing investigations and charges related to the events of January 6.

The Department of Justice has identified numerous individuals charged with assaulting or impeding officers during the riot. Trump’s involvement and rhetoric during the event have faced scrutiny and criticism for potentially inciting the violence that unfolded on that day.

This development adds to the ongoing controversy surrounding the events of January 6 and the repercussions faced by those involved. Trump’s recent endorsement of prosecuting Capitol Police officers highlights the continued division and legal proceedings stemming from the riot.

 

Trump demands removal of Judge Merchan in meltdown before contempt hearing

 

Donald Trump went on an all-caps tirade demanding the removal of Judge Juan Merchan before a contempt hearing related to his attacks on Truth Social. Facing a criminal trial on 34 felony counts, Trump accused the trial of being a ‘witch hunt’ orchestrated by Democrats and presided over by a conflicted judge. Legal experts noted that Trump’s defiance of a gag order could lead to financial sanctions or even jail time. The former president’s actions were described as showing contempt for the court and the law.

Former President Trump indicated that he is willing to testify in his first criminal trial in Manhattan, which could be a win for the prosecution according to legal experts. Trump’s lawyers have fought against bringing up civil court losses, while prosecutors argue that such information is crucial to assessing Trump’s credibility. The trial is expected to last four to six weeks, with the verdict likely to be issued before the GOP selects its general election nominee.

 

Trump warns of losing presidential immunity consequences for himself and Biden

 

Former President Trump warned of the consequences of losing his presidential immunity, stating that if he loses it, so will ‘crooked’ President Joe Biden. Trump argues that without immunity, the presidency’s power and prestige would diminish, leaving it vulnerable to extortion and blackmail. He believes that immunity is crucial for a president to function properly and prevent the opposing party from indicting former presidents. Trump’s criminal trial on charges related to hush money payments awaits the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, expected by mid-June.

Trump pleaded not guilty to charges brought against him by Special Counsel Jack Smith, claiming immunity. He expressed concerns that the presidency would be consumed by other branches of government without immunity. Trump highlighted the risk of former presidents being indicted immediately by the opposing party if immunity is not granted, jeopardizing the functioning of the presidency. The Supreme Court is fast-tracking Trump’s appeal on presidential immunity, delaying his criminal trial.

Meanwhile, Trump is required to attend his New York City criminal trial daily, with the trial expected to last through early June. His attorneys’ request to delay the trial until after the Supreme Court’s ruling on immunity was denied. Trump sought permission to attend the Supreme Court arguments on immunity, but the judge overseeing the trial declined. The Supreme Court is set to rule on the issue by mid-June, impacting Trump’s criminal trial charges brought by Smith.

The Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity will determine the course of Trump’s criminal trial, which is on hold pending the decision. Trump faces charges related to conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstructing official proceedings. This marks the second time this term that the Supreme Court is hearing a case involving Trump, following a recent ruling in his favor regarding ballot access challenges in Colorado.

 

Texas Republicans rue Democrats for dismissing Mayorkas impeachment without trial

Senate Democrats swiftly dismissed the impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, much to the dismay of Texas Republicans and other GOP members who sought a full Senate trial. Despite efforts by Republicans to debate and consider the Constitution and the law, Democrats, holding the majority, voted to dismiss the charges brought by the House on the grounds of being unconstitutional.

Mayorkas was impeached by the House in February, on the orders of Donald Trump as revenge for his two impeachments. Mayorkas was accused by Republicans of failing to enforce border laws and lying to Congress, neither of which Republicans were able to provide evidence for, and in fact Mayorkas leading the bi-partisan border negotiations at the exact same time Trump’s lackies were pushing for impeachment shows how dishonest Republicans have always been around impeachment dating back to Bill Clinton.

Republicans introduced various procedural motions to delay the dismissal, highlighting concerns about the southern border crisis and the constitutionality of not holding a trial. The Senate Democrats’ decision was criticized by GOP members like Texas Reps. Michael McCaul and August Pfluger, who emphasized the abandonment of constitutional responsibility.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer led the effort to deem the articles of impeachment unconstitutional, leading to a swift dismissal. Mayorkas, the first cabinet secretary to be impeached in 150 years, maintained focus on advancing the Department of Homeland Security’s missions amidst the impeachment drama.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz expressed disappointment at the lack of a full trial, linking the impeachment to border policies and humanitarian crises. Cruz’s fury at Democrats for not hearing out arguments and the subsequent dismissal by Senate Democrats marked a contentious chapter in the impeachment proceedings.

 

Trump mocked as ‘feeble’ after confusing Jimmy Kimmel and Al Pacino in bizarre rant

 

Former President Donald Trump faced mockery and criticism after confusing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel with actor Al Pacino in a social media rant. Trump’s error-filled diatribe on Truth Social claimed Kimmel stumbled during the Oscars, which was actually presented by Pacino. The confusion led to Trump being labeled ‘feeble and confused’ by opponents.

Despite Trump’s claims of Kimmel’s poor performance, reviews of the 96th Academy Awards were generally positive, with ratings climbing for the third consecutive year. Al Pacino, not Kimmel, announced the Best Picture winner, and the actor’s odd delivery was due to producer instructions to skip reading all nominees again.

The Biden-Harris campaign quickly seized on Trump’s misstep, highlighting it as another example of his confusion and flubs. The incident underscores the former president’s tendency to make complete misstatements, providing ammunition for his critics.

Trump’s mix-up between Kimmel and Pacino was widely criticized, with the incident showcasing his penchant for errors and misinformation. The confusion further fueled the ongoing narrative of Trump’s struggles with accuracy and his opponents’ efforts to capitalize on his missteps.

 

Donald Trump posts video of truck showing hog-tied Joe Biden

The Biden campaign team accused Mr Trump of “regularly inciting political violence” ahead of November’s election.

A spokesman for the Trump campaign said Democrats have been calling for “despicable violence” against Mr Trump.

Mr Trump posted the video on his social media site Truth Social on Friday.

According to the caption, it was filmed in Long Island, New York, on Thursday when the former president attended the wake of a New York City police officer who was killed during a traffic stop.

The video shows two passing trucks on the road, both covered in US flags and flags claiming support for the police.

The second truck was emblazoned with the words “Trump 2024”, and the rear of the vehicle features an image of Mr Biden with his hands and feet tied.

Mr Trump’s promotion of the video drew criticism from Mr Biden campaign’s team.

“Trump is regularly inciting political violence and it’s time people take him seriously – just ask the Capitol police officers who were attacked protecting our democracy on 6 January,” spokesman Michael Tyler said, referring to the storming of Congress by the former president’s supporters after he falsely claimed the 2020 election had been stolen from him.

Judge Rejects Trump Dismissal Effort in Classified Documents Case

A federal judge rejected former President Donald J. Trump’s attempt to dismiss charges of mishandling classified documents by arguing he converted them into personal property under the Presidential Records Act. Judge Aileen M. Cannon ruled that the act does not provide a pretrial basis to dismiss the case, a victory for special counsel Jack Smith. The judge requested proposed jury instructions on how the act might impact the case. Smith argued against it, emphasizing the act’s irrelevance. Judge Cannon agreed the act wasn’t enough to dismiss the case but hinted discussions on its impact would continue.

Trump’s lawyers claimed the act allowed him to designate sensitive materials as private records, which was legally questioned by Judge Cannon and the appeals court. The ruling may affect another attempt by Trump’s lawyers to have the case dismissed based on presidential immunity from prosecution. The Supreme Court will consider this assertion in another case involving Trump’s alleged election interference. Trump’s lawyers argue that his immunity stems from converting the removed documents into personal property under the act.

One question both Republican job applicants and potential Trump jurors must answer

There is a prevalent question in both job interviews for Republican positions and potential jurors in Trump’s upcoming trials: ‘Do you believe the 2020 election was stolen?’ Job applicants in key states are being tested for loyalty to Trump, while prosecutors aim to assess juror impartiality. Trump’s first criminal trial, involving ‘hush money’ payments to Stormy Daniels, is set for April. The prosecution sees questioning jurors on the election as a way to gauge impartiality. Trump’s attorney disputes the need for the question, calling it irrelevant to the case. The former president faces 34 felony counts related to covering up an alleged affair with Daniels.

Donald Trump Rages at Judge, Calls for Immediate Recusal

Donald Trump criticizes Judge Merchan for imposing a gag order before his hush-money trial in April, calling for the judge’s immediate recusal and sanction. The case involves allegations that Trump falsified payments to lawyer Michael Cohen, which Trump denies. Trump insists the case is a political witch hunt to interfere with the election. He accuses the DOJ of bias and coordination against him to aid Joe Biden’s reelection. Trump’s attacks on Merchan and his daughter have escalated, claiming a social media post aimed at his imprisonment.

Judge Merchan recently imposed a gag order on Trump, prohibiting public comments about the trial’s participants, except for Merchan and prosecutor criticism. The judge cited Trump’s history of inflammatory remarks as the reason for the order. Trump’s campaign to discredit the case and the judge continues, with accusations of political bias and unjust legal actions.

Trump’s denial of the charges and insistence on the case’s dismissal reflect his ongoing fight against the legal challenges he faces. The upcoming trial is crucial as it marks the first of four criminal cases against Trump. The former president’s rhetoric on the case is central to his campaign narrative as he seeks to regain the presidency.

Despite the gag order, Trump remains vocal on his Truth Social platform, using it as a tool to rally supporters against what he perceives as biased legal proceedings. The escalating conflict between Trump and Judge Merchan underscores the contentious nature of the upcoming trial and its potential implications for Trump’s political future.
