A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the Biden Justice Department to produce a copy of a search warrant executed at his Mar-a-Lago estate, where the FBI conducted a nine-hour-plus search on Monday. Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart ordered the DOJ to “file a Response to the Motion to Unseal” the warrant after requests were made by the Times-Union, a newspaper located in Albany, N.Y., as well as the conservative legal group Judicial Watch. The judge said that the DOJ must respond no later than Aug. 15, reports said.

The Florida magistrate judge who reportedly signed off on the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s home allegedly disparaged the former president and shared “woke” content on what appears to be his personal Facebook page. Josiah Lippincott, a Hillsdale College Van Adel Graduate School of Statesmanship Ph.D. candidate and writer, first reported that Bruce Reinhart — the suspected judge who approved the raid of Mar-a-Lago — apparently denigrated then-president-elect Trump in 2017 via Facebook. In a Facebook post screenshotted by Lippincott and reviewed by Defiant America Reinhart wrote, “I generally ignore the President-elect’s tweets, but not this one. John...

Ever since President Trump announced that Mar-A-Lago had been raided by the FBI, we’ve been looking for answers. How did this happen? Why did this happen? Who knew about it, and when did they know about it? While we’ll likely find out more about who and when later, what we do know now is how it happened. New details have come to light about the judge who signed off on the search warrant that will make you sick to your stomach — and suggest this effort by the Biden administration to target Trump will backfire drastically.

After telling an adult female prosecutor that courts didn’t let “girls” litigate in the “old days,” a federal judge tried to ban her from his courtroom for life. An appellate court unanimously reversed that prohibition, and one Donald Trump appointee called him out for behavior “beneath the dignity of a federal judge.”U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes, an 80-year-old Ronald Reagan-appointee to the Southern District of Texas, imposed the sanction on a Assistant U.S. Attorney after the lawyer made errors that resulted in the dismissal of an indictment. The 5th Circuit ultimately reversed Hughes’ ruling. Hughes rebuked the prosecutor: “You’re supposed...

ALBANY — Gov. Hochul is facing political pressure to appoint a progressive jurist to the state’s highest court following the sudden resignation of Chief Judge Janet DiFiore. Critics contend that DiFiore, who stepped down amid reports of a state ethics probe, led a conservative bloc of four judges that pushed the seven-member Court of Appeals to the right ideologically. Lawmakers and advocates are hoping that Hochul will take the opportunity to appoint someone with a broader understanding of how the criminal justice system impacts minority and low-income New Yorkers, or someone with a public defender background to lead the courts.

A Ramsey County judge has ruled that several Minnesota laws regulating abortion are unconstitutional. The lawsuit was originally filed by an unnamed obstetrician-gynecologist, an unnamed nurse midwife and Our Justice, a Minnesota nonprofit that helps those seeking abortion, in 2019, claiming that several state abortion laws were unconstitutional because they violate the right to privacy, equal protection, free speech, the prohibition on special legislation, and a prohibition on vague laws. What are the laws the ruling addresses? Specifically, the trio pointed to the “physician-only law,” the “hospitalization law,” “reporting laws,” the “two-parent notification law,” “felony penalties” laws, the “mandatory disclosure...

OLYMPIA - In the weeks before the start of the 2022 legislative session, majority Democrats signed off on a plan for conducting business in the House of Representatives in the ongoing pandemic. It required lawmakers be vaccinated to participate in floor session and to access their offices. It restricted where the public could go. Overall, many elements didn’t sit well with Republicans. Six of them, including Granite Falls Rep. Robert Sutherland, sued in November, alleging the House plan created “separate and unequal classes of legislators” and violated their right to freedom of speech and laws regarding discrimination. On July 1,...

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin will receive 20 to 25 years in prison after a judge accepted a plea deal he struck with prosecutors in December. In December, Chauvin pleaded guilty to charges of violating George Floyd’s civil rights when he pinned his knee on Floyd’s neck, killing him. In exchange, Chauvin agreed a sentencing between 20 to 25 years in prison. Chauvin’s decision to enter a plea deal came after initially rejecting another plea offer in September.

A retired federal judge appointed by former President George H.W. Bush warned in an opinion piece published by CNN on Wednesday that Republicans are “already a long way toward recapturing the White House in 2024, whether Trump or another Republican candidate wins the election or not.” In his essay, J. Michael Luttig broke down what he called the “Republican blueprint” to steal the 2024 election ― the cornerstone of which, he said, was the Supreme Court’s embrace of the “independent state legislature” doctrine. The 2020 election fraud lies peddled by former President Donald Trump and his allies are just “the...
