Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to tap California attorney and entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his running mate, according to a report. Shanahan, a Democratic donor who was once married to Google cofounder Sergey Brinn, funded Kennedy’s pricey Super Bowl campaign commercial, Mediaite reported Saturday. The pair “align on numerous issues,” including his condemnation of vaccines, and she can help funnel money into Kennedy’s long-shot bid and get him on ballots in all 50 states, sources close to the campaign told the outlet. The pick notably keeps New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whom Kennedy said was...

We are in North Idaho and need a real tough, combative, junkyard dog real estate attorney with a good track record. How do you go about finding such an attorney? The lot below us sold after being in one family for many decades. A developer bought it (call him Party 1) and has been less than forthcoming about his plans for the property. He proposes to build a second building on the property that will partially block our lake view and completely block another neighbor's lake view. The building plans comply with setback and height limitations so there's nothing there...

Hunter Biden's attorney has spoken out to slam the tax evasion charges against the president's son, claiming that nobody similarly situated would be criminally charged. 'Where's the fairness, justice and decency in this?' attorney Abbe Lowell said in an interview with CNN on Friday, after Hunter was hit with nine new charges carrying a penalty of up to 17 years in prison. The 56-page indictment filed by Special Counsel David Weiss accuses Hunter of scheming to avoid $1.4 million in taxes he owed from 2016 through 2019, while spending lavishly on drugs, prostitutes, and an extravagant lifestyle. 'The charges in...

Cohen.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Scruggs will have his day in court, but no single case will restore the equilibrium razed by J6 prosecutors.By way of introduction, my name is Adam Johnson — but most people know me as “the Lectern Guy.” On Jan. 6, 2021, I kind of broke the internet after I was photographed smiling and waving as I was carrying then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s podium through the Capitol rotunda. Suffice it to say, the authorities did not look kindly on what I did, and I was later arrested.Eventually, I was transferred to a courtroom after four...

An attorney in Venice, California, filed a federal lawsuit on Saturday to bar former President Donald Trump from California’s 2024 presidential primary election, arguing that he is disqualified due to his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, according to a report. The lawsuit argues that the Fourteenth Amendment states that no one can hold office who has previously taken an oath of office to support the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or gave aid to those who did, according to a Los Angeles Times report. The attorney, Stephen Yagman, filed the lawsuit on behalf...

Hunter Biden attorney Christopher Clark is withdrawing from representing the president’s son in a Delaware probe, pointing to a continuing legal battle over a plea agreement in the tax case that dissolved before it could be approved by a judge. Clark’s notice to the court indicates he could be a witness in coming challenges over the disintegration of the deal, which the Justice Department moved to withdraw minutes after Attorney General Merrick Garland elevated Delaware prosecutor David Weiss to serve as a special counsel in the matter. “Based on recent developments, it appears that the negotiation and drafting of the...

First son Hunter Biden’s legal team was accused of pulling a dirty trick late Tuesday to block the release of damning evidence ahead of his expected guilty plea to federal charges of tax evasion and weapons crimes. The drama began in the morning when the House Ways and Means Committee filed an amicus brief to Delaware US District Judge Maryellen Noreika arguing that the 53-year-old had benefited from “political interference which calls into question the propriety of the investigation” into alleged crimes including money laundering, felony tax evasion and failure to register as a foreign agent. The filing included testimony...

President Joe Biden has nominated April Perry, a former official with the Cook County State’s Attorney Office, to be the next U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. If approved by the Senate, Perry would replace John Lausch, who retired on March 11. A former Chicago Fraternal of Police Official, Martin Preib, blasted the nomination saying that Perry, Kim Foxx’s Chief Ethics Officer from 2017 to 2019, said nothing publicly when Foxx dropped the charges – in the face of overwhelming police evidence -- against actor Jussie Smollett for faking a hate crime. Perry resigned her position a few...

Former President Donald Trump stubbornly rejected his legal team’s efforts last year to settle the classified documents case — and prevent him from being indicted by a federal grand jury, according to a bombshell report. Christopher Kise, one of Trump’s attorneys in the fall of 2022, wanted to quietly approach the Justice Department to negotiate a deal with Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Washington Post reported, citing seven insiders. Kise told others he hoped his overture would “take the temperature down” by promising a professional approach and the return of all the materials from the former president’s Mar-a-Lago estate. But...

A pair of senior partners at the California-based mega-law firm Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith split from the company last month to build their own “compassionate” firm, but internal emails show they used wildly offensive and demeaning language — repeatedly referring to women as “c–ts” and a judge as “sugar t-ts.”

AN analysis of uncounted provisional ballots shows the 2022 Arizona attorney general's race may be called for GOP nominee Abe Hamadeh instead of the now-Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes. Hamadeh is challenging the election in court, suing Mayes to ensure all votes were counted in their midterm election contest, which Hamadeh lost by just 280 votes, according to an automatic statewide recount. Last week, Mohave County Superior Court scheduled oral arguments on May 16 for Hamadeh's motion for a new trial, which he filed after learning that vote total discrepancies in Pinal County were allegedly not brought to the attention...

When former fashion exec Alina Habba celebrated her 39th birthday last month, Donald Trump made sure the statuesque brunette and key member of his legal team celebrated in style — in an opulent dining room with his closest advisors and a big cake adorned with red and yellow flowers.

Hunter Biden's lawyer claimed there will be '3 more', in text messages with a right-wing nonprofit about Donald Trump’s arrest. The heated text exchange, between hotshot Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris and a 'researcher' working with the conservative think tank Marco Polo, has raised questions over what the First Son's legal team know about prosecutors' plans against the former President. The news comes as Morris sued Marco Polo and its founder, former Trump White House staffer Garrett Ziegler, in a Los Angeles court last week for alleged harassment, invasion of privacy and 'criminal impersonation' over the nonprofit's investigation into Hunter's abandoned...
