Democrats are outraged that President Trump and Elon Musk are saving billions for the American people. On Friday we were reminded that this is not the first time Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly made headlines. Back in June 2024 Life News reported on Kollar-Kotelly’s disgraceful actions. In May, 2024, in a federal Washington, D.C. court, Kollar-Kotelly sentenced Harlow to two years in jail and 36 months of supervised release for protesting at a notorious late-term abortion clinic in Washington, D.C. with eight others. She was the tenth defendant to be sentenced by the Biden Regime related to the peaceful abortion protest. Paulette...

President Trump on Tuesday defended his decision to grant clemency for nearly 1,500 Jan. 6 protestors, including those who were charged and convicted of crimes against police officers. Speaking from the White House, Mr. Trump pointed to left-leaning district attorneys across the country who have pursued light sentences for severe crimes. “Murderers today aren’t even charged. You have murderers in this country that aren’t charged all over,” the president said. “Take a look at what’s gone on in Philadelphia. Take a look at what’s gone on in LA where people murder people and they don’t get charged.” Mr. Trump said...

President-elect Donald Trump has expressed his outrage in a post on Truth Social after New York Judge Juan Merchan set a sentencing date of January 10 in his New York “hush money” case. Trump said that if the judge’s decision is allowed to stand, “it would be the end of the Presidency as we know it.” If it is not overturned or postponed, the sentencing will occur just ten days before Trump returns to the White House. Trump responded to the date being scheduled by writing, “Every Legal Scholar and Pundit, including the highly respected, and sadly recently passed, David...

President-elect Donald Trump's guilty verdict on 34 felony counts in New York won't be thrown out due to his presidential election, Judge Juan Merchan ruled Friday, keeping one of the only remaining criminal cases against Trump alive as the judge set Trump’s sentencing for Jan. 10, just 10 days before his inauguration.

Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed hundreds of pages of special counsel Jack Smith‘s highly anticipated evidence against former President Donald Trump on Friday, but they contained few new revelations. The four-volume document dump contained more than 1,800 pages of evidence, but most of it was redacted or previously known information. One volume contained transcripts of interviews conducted by the defunct Jan. 6 Committee while another contained a compilation of Trump’s social media posts.The filing was the second part of a two-part behemoth motion that Smith submitted to the court to defend his charges against Trump in the wake of the Supreme...

Judge Tanya Chutkan agreed to unseal Special Counsel Jack Smith’s evidence attached to the 165-page ‘opening brief’ which was already used to attack President Trump. This is Jack Smith’s dirty October surprise. Trump’s lawyers earlier Thursday asked Judge Chutkan to keep Jack Smith’s evidence appendix from public view. President Trump’s lawyers argued in a two-page filing that Jack Smith was trying to interfere in the election by publicly docketing more evidence in the January 6 case. “There should be no further disclosures at this time of the so-called ‘evidence’ that the Special Counsel’s Office has unlawfully cherry-picked and mischaracterized —...

Politico loves the smell of Lawfare in the morning. The Playbook team of Eugene Daniels and Rachael "Impeachmas" Bade was so excited about this newly unsealed Jack Smith filing designed to harm Donald Trump that they blatantly declared that this Smith filing was "The first October surprise of 2024."Let us now join Daniels and Bade gleefully delighting in Smith's "mountain of evidence" against Trump.

Earlier on Tuesday, as Mia covered, Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a new indictment against former and potentially future President Donald Trump in the January 6 case. With considerable righteous indignation, Trump reacted to the news in a series of posts to his Truth Social account. Trump began with strong words for Smith, referring to the move as "an effort to resurrect a 'dead' Witch Hunt in Washington, D.C., in an act of desperation, and in order to save face," calling Smith out for being "Deranged" and saying he was "illegally appointed." In referring to the indictment out as "ridiculous,"...

Special counsel Jack Smith has charged former President Donald Trump in a superseding indictment in his federal election interference case. "Today, a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia returned a superseding indictment, ECF No. 226, charging the defendant with the same c, riminal offenses that were charged in the original indictment," a Justice Department spokesperson said Tuesday.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office won’t oppose former President Donald Trump’s request to delay his upcoming sentencing in his Manhattan criminal case, prosecutors said in a letter Monday, potentially punting the ex-president’s sentencing until after the election as he appeals an upcoming ruling over whether the verdict against him should be thrown out. Trump has asked for the sentencing in his criminal case, now scheduled for September 18, to be postponed until after the November election, arguing he should have time to appeal a ruling set to come out on September 16 over whether the verdict against him should be...

he Fulton County District Attorney’s office on Thursday admitted it received two letters from Joe Biden’s White House Counsel amid its Trump witch hunt. This is clear evidence that Joe Biden’s White House is coordinating with Fani Willis’s office. The admission was made during a hearing for former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark. Jeffrey Clark served as the Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General under Trump and was under consideration to be Trump’s Attorney General. In August Fani Willis hit President Trump and 18 others with RICO and conspiracy charges for daring to challenge the 2020 election. (image) Fani Willis criminalized...

Far-left Judge Juan Merchan delayed President Trump’s ‘hush money’ sentencing until September 18. Earlier Tuesday Alvin Bragg’s office agreed to delay Trump’s sentencing set for July 11 after the Supreme Court decided on presidential immunity. .... Snip.... Judge Merchan said he will issue a ruling related to the presidential immunity argument on September 6. NBC News reported: The judge in Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial on Tuesday approved a delay of the former president’s sentencing after his lawyers asked for more time to review the potential impact of the Supreme Court’s immunity decision. Trump’s lawyers have indicated that they...

A New York Appeals court on Tuesday denied Trump’s bid to appeal a gag order in Alvin Bragg’s case after a jury already returned a guilty verdict. President Trump previously asked the Court to lift the gag order “because the trial has concluded.” Biden’s DOJ hatchet man Matthew Colangelo earlier this month asked Merchan to keep the gag order in place to “avoid threats to the fairness of the trial itself.”

Former Attorney General William Barr called the New York hush money case against former President Trump an “abomination” in a Wednesday interview and said he was confident the guilty verdict will be overturned on appeal. “When people were talking about it, I said that the case was an abomination, and I didn’t think it was going to be brought at the end of the day because it was so vaporous,” Barr told Fox News’s Jimmy Failla in an interview on “Fox Across America.” “I was surprised they went ahead with it,” Barr said about New York prosecutors. “And it’s met...

The office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is backed by Soros, is now under fire for allegedly leaking sensitive sentencing information about former President Donald Trump to the far-left media. In the wake of a trial widely criticized as a sham, where Trump was convicted on all 34 felony charges in a ‘hush money’ scandal, sources suggest that DA Bragg’s office may recommend Trump serve a year at the notorious Rikers Island. Judge Merchan told jurors they did not have to agree on a crime—a practice unheard of in US history. The jury only had to agree that...

Democratic Manhattan District Alvin Bragg’s office defended on Wednesday keeping former President Donald Trump under his gag order, requesting that it stay in place at least through Trump’s sentencing hearing in late July and any post-trial motions. Trump attorney’s asked Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday to lift the order, writing in a letter that the “concerns articulated by the government and the Court do not justify restrictions on the First Amendment rights of President Trump” now that the trial has concluded. Prosecutors disagreed, responding that the order was intended to protect more than just the trial proceedings. “As the People...

Even those who dislike the former President see a case of legal and political malpractice.How dare Mitt Romney. And Sens. Susan Collins and Mitch McConnell. The anti-Trump press corps is dismayed that Republicans of all stripes, even those who aren’t fond of Donald Trump, have criticized the Manhattan prosecution and guilty verdict. The media coverage after the verdict has followed the usual Trump-era pattern. Democrats pursue some anti-Trump operation—impeachment, a Russia collusion probe, a prosecution. The press then descends as one to chide Republicans, with the unsubtle implication that they must be unethical sellouts if they oppose what Democrats are...

VIDEORemember the underlying crimes that President Donald Trump supposedly committed but the Manhattan DA wouldn't name? Well, a liberal named Francesca Fiorentini who got up on her high horse about Trump's crimes was challenged to name his crime on Piers Morgan Uncensored and the result was hilarious. Why? Because she was unable to do so. Francesca even cheated and tried to Google the answer on the sly on her cell phone during the interview but still got it wrong. Although Francesca acted like a flustered child I did a search on her and was astounded to find out that she...

Ana Navarro told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is using the struggle of Cubans during the communist regime of Fidel Castro to suck up to former President Donald Trump. On Fox News, Rubio said, “This is the quintessential show trial. This is what you see in communist countries. This is what I grew up having people in this community tell me about that happened in the days of the Castro revolutions. Obvious those led to executions, and this on the other hand is an effort to interfere in an election.” Navarro said, “How...
