    The son of a man charged with trying to assassinate President Donald Trump on a Florida golf course had an outburst inside a North Carolina court, saying his arrest on a child porn charge was motivated by political persecution. Oran Routh appeared in court in Greensboro on Wednesday for a plea bargain hearing, FOX 8 reported. During the proceedings, Judge William Osteen asked Routh questions in multiple ways before accepting his guilty plea. Routh reportedly gave long-winded answers that didn’t directly address the questions. He was then ordered held until his sentencing. Prior to entering his plea, Routh was remanded...

    The Hague (AP) -- The International Criminal Court on Friday called on its member states to stand up against sanctions imposed by US President Donald Trump, saying that the move was an attempt to “harm its independent and impartial judicial work”. And the embattled court got plenty of support from traditional US allies in Europe who stood up against the Trump measure. “Sanctioning the ICC threatens the court’s independence and undermines the international criminal justice system as a whole,” said European Council President António Costa, who heads the summits of the European Union’s 27 leaders. It was the toughest direct...

According to court papers, the district provided the books to teachers and expected them to be incorporated into the classroom by...

    The North Carolina Supreme Court on Tuesday in a 5-1 vote blocked the state from certifying Democrat incumbent justice Allison Riggs as the winner of the race as her GOP opponent, Jefferson Griffin, challenges the election. As previously reported, North Carolina’s Supreme Court race headed for a recount due to a close final tally as the Democrat pulled ahead two weeks after Election Day. Democrat incumbent Sarah Riggs closed the race with 2,770,818 votes to GOP challenger Jefferson Griffin’s 2,770,193 votes. The race went to a recount since the vote difference is fewer than 10,000 votes.

    Rudy Giuliani was held in contempt of court Monday and accused of trying to “run out the clock” to avoid paying his $148 million defamation verdict — which may now cost him his $3.5 million Florida condo. Manhattan federal court Judge Lewis Liman found the former Big Apple mayor in contempt twice for blowing through deadlines and not turning over key information ahead of a Jan. 16 trial over whether he has to give up the Florida abode and his prized Yankees World Series rings. Giuliani owes the multi-million dollar tab to Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter...

    resident Biden has been forced to stop auctioning off materials used for the border wall after the Texas Attorney General stepped in to block the sales. The unused material was put up for grabs by Congress who put a plan in place on how to dispose of the excess product after ending wall construction in 2021. Attorney General Ken Paxton said on Friday that he had stopped the administration from getting rid of any more before president-elect Trump takes office in January. The Biden administration agreed with the court order, according to Fox News, allowing President Trump to use the...

    The man who got kicked in the face in a shocking moment of pickleball violence just wants to be done with it and has no plans on pressing charges. Footage of the fiery on-court altercation at a tournament in Mexico has gone viral, surprising many given pickleball’s reputation as a friendly sport. In what appeared to be a match point, the eventual kicker, who was wearing pink shorts, received a serve before approaching the net, where he illegally stepped over the non-volley line. That mistake gave away a foot fault, and ultimately the match.

    Special counsel Jack Smith asked a federal appellate court on Wednesday to halt his appeal in President-elect Donald Trump’s classified documents case, citing the results of the 2024 election. “As a result of the election held on November 5, 2024, one of the defendants in this case, Donald J. Trump, is expected to be certified as President-elect on January 6, 2025, and inaugurated on January 20, 2025,” Smith wrote to the Atlanta-based 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals. “The Government respectfully requests that the Court hold this appeal in abeyance — and stay the deadline for the Government’s reply brief,...

    The Supreme Court on Friday rejected an emergency appeal from Republicans that could have led to thousands of provisional ballots not being counted in the battleground state. The justices left in place a state Supreme Court ruling that elections officials must count provisional ballots cast by voters whose mail-in ballots were rejected. As of Thursday, about 9,000 ballots out of more than 1.6 million returned have arrived at elections offices around Pennsylvania lacking a secrecy envelope, a signature or a date, according to state records. Pennsylvania is the biggest presidential election battleground this year, with 19 electoral votes. In 2020,...

    A conservative watchdog group is calling a ruling by the Arizona Superior Court of Maricopa County pertaining to a list of noncitizens registered to vote a “huge win.” The court’s ruling said officials in Maricopa County must give America First Legal (AFL) the list of those individuals, Fox News reported on Thursday. AFL filed the lawsuit on behalf of its clients in August against Maricopa County Recorder Steven Richer, asserting he failed to remove illegal aliens from the voter roles, according to Breitbart News. The court’s recent order said, “As the Court admonished the parties prior to and during the...

    A Florida murderer lept out of his courtroom chair towards his victim’s family when a heartbroken father called his teen daughter’s killer an “animal” for fatally shooting her over a pair of Yeezys. The family of 18-year-old Andrea Camps Lacayo had the chance to speak face-to-face to Adrian Cosby, who is accused of murdering the high school senior in 2020, during Cosby’s sentencing on Friday. “You are the epitome of evil and darkness that this world represents,” Camps Lacayo’s father Anthony Camps told Cosby in a victim impact statement according to NBC Miami. “There is no forgiveness on this earth...

    Aloha spirit be damned, the Hawaii Supreme Court has deemed the oil industry unwelcome in the state. In a ruling late last year, the court affirmed that the city of Honolulu could file a lawsuit alleging that Sunoco, Exxon, ConocoPhillips, and an assortment of other companies have caused it injury via their products’ greenhouse gas emissions. Now it may be up to the US Supreme Court to set the matter straight: Is climate change an area of special federal interest or can states give Big Oil the boot? If the latter, the outcome from 50 new sets of legal hoops...

    A panel of New York appeals court judges appeared skeptical about the gargantuan $454 million civil fraud judgment Donald Trump was dealt after he was found liable for business fraud — with one jurist calling it “troubling.” The former president is attempting to reverse or reduce the judgment of $354 million — plus an additional $100 million in interest — after a judge sided with New York Attorney General Letitia James, who argued in a lawsuit Trump inflated his net worth by billions to get better loan and insurance terms. Trump’s lawyers, who have called Judge Arthur Engoron’s February ruling...

    John O'Hurley, the "Seinfeld" actor and narrator of the documentary "Watergate’s Secrets and Betrayals," says that the new film about the scandal that sunk Richard Nixon’s presidency finally proves that the former president "didn’t get his day in court." Fox News Digital spoke to O’Hurley, as well as the documentary’s director, George Bugatti, about their new film which they believe should reset the narrative about the Watergate scandal and show it was weaponized to force Nixon from office in 1974. "What the film will expose is the fact that he didn't get his day in court. And there were a...

    The Alaska Supreme Court has ruled that a congressional candidate currently serving a 20-year prison sentence can remain on the ballot in the election, running for the state's U.S. Representative seat, according to Anchorage Daily News.

    New York’s highest court threw out former President Donald Trump’s request to lift his gag order in his business records case. The New York Court of Appeals dismissed Trump’s appeal to lift the gag order that limits him from making public remarks against his prosecutors or their families. Trump’s attorneys requested Judge Juan Merchan lift the order after his conviction, arguing the gag order limits his First Amendment rights and that lifting the order would be in the public’s interest before the presidential election. Yet, the court’s ruling said that “no constitutional question is directly involved” in dismissing Trump’s appeal.
