Here’s the latest information you need to know about each prosecution Democrats are waging against the Republican presidential candidate.While the cases against Donald Trump in Georgia and Florida have either stalled or fallen apart completely, the former president is still actively fighting attempts to imprison him in New York and Washington D.C. after a Supreme Court decision cast further doubt on the legitimacy of the lawfare cases. In New York, Trump is fighting to postpone a sentencing that is currently scheduled to take place 48 days before Election Day. On Monday, District Attorney Alvin Bragg tossed the ball into Judge...

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 Donald Trump’s lawyers officially ask Juan Merchan to vacate Sept 18 sentencing date based on pending presidential immunity questions in the case.

A high-profile former federal prosecutor has issued a warning about the imminent incarceration of President Donald Trump in the Manhattan case led by Soros-linked Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and presided over by Democrat Judge Juan Merchan. Andrew McCarthy, a former assistant U.S. attorney at the U.S. Southern District of New York, wrote in a Fox News column that Trump could be jailed on Sept. 18, despite the mounting legal issues complicating the Manhattan case. Among these issues is the Supreme Court’s ruling that Trump cannot be prosecuted for acts made while in office and that these acts cannot be...

Earlier this week, crooked New York Judge Juan Merchan rejected a recusal request for the third time in Trump’s “hush money” case. The dirty judge’s decision was released to the public on Wednesday. Judge Merchan’s daughter’s platform made tens of millions of dollars from her father’s case against Trump. President Trump is STILL under a partial gag order in the case. Can someone please explain how this is legal? And why are Republicans not outraged by this criminal lawfare against the party’s presidential candidate? In May, Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts after he was accused of paying...

President Trump is still under a partial gag order in this case. CBS News reported: Former President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to get the judge presiding over his New York criminal case to recuse himself has been denied. It was the third time Justice Juan Merchan has rejected Trump’s demands that he step aside from the case. Each effort revolved around claims that the judge was compromised because his daughter works as a Democratic consultant. Trump’s lawyers first made the request in May 2023, before the case went to trial, arguing that Merchan should step aside because of work Merchan’s...

Kamala Harris’s husband’s first marriage ended after he got his children’s nanny pregnant, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff cheated on his first wife Kerstin with the blonde nanny, who also taught at their children’s pricey private school. The woman, Najen Naylor, 47, did not deny the story when approached by DailyMail.com at her home in the New York millionaires’ playground, The Hamptons.

Five mental health professionals, some of whom already accused Donald Trump of being “dangerous,” prepared a risk assessment for New York state Judge Juan Merchan to consider in his July 11 sentencing decision on Trump, according to forensic psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee, a longtime critic of the former president. It isn’t clear whether all five are psychiatrists or may have other training. Their risk assessment could be a factor in the severity of Merchan’s sentence for Trump in Manhattan Criminal Court, which could be up to 20 years in prison for all 34 felony counts on which he was...

BREAKING: NY Judge Merchan Informs Lawyers of ‘My Cousin is a Juror, Trump is Getting Convicted’ Facebook Post Left on NY Court Page, Pre-Verdict.In a new development in Trump’s Manhattan “hush money” case, Justice Merchan has communicated to the involved parties about an incident involving a comment left on the court system’s Facebook page. The comment, left on May 29, one day prior to Trump’s conviction, reads: “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted 🎉 Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!! ❤️”The fact that the judge has written to the involved parties may indicate...

In a new development in Trump’s Manhattan “hush money” case, Justice Merchan has communicated to the involved parties about an incident involving a comment left on the court system’s Facebook page. The comment, left on May 29, one day prior to Trump’s conviction, reads: “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted 🎉 Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!! ❤️” Theoretically, if the comment is found to be true and a juror was discussing the verdict of the case with their cousin, Justice Merchan could rule a mistrial. Given his record of rulings against Trump...

A new poll shows that a sizable plurality of the American people believe that the New York trial of former President Donald Trump was a politically-motivated show trial.As the Daily Caller reports, the ABC News/Ipsos poll shows that 47% of Americans believe the trial was indeed a political hit job, while 38% say that the trial was legitimate and fair.On the question of the “guilty” verdict, 50% of respondents believe the verdict was correct; by contrast, just 27% believe the verdict was wrong, while the remaining 23% said they “don’t know” what to believe with regards to the verdict.Among those...

Stormy Daniels has today urged Melania Trump to leave her husband, not because of his alleged affair with the adult film star, but due to his status as a convicted felon. Throughout the six-week trial of the former president, Melania was noticeably absent, never once appearing in court. While other members of the Trump family showed their support during the proceedings, Melania's absence has sparked speculation about the state of their 19-year marriage. Now, Stormy, who is said to have had an affair with Trump a year after he married Melania, has called on the former model to divorce him...

Some of the commentary made by MSM political pundits is so over-the-top biased and fraught with manipulative intent the light from the place where narrative engineering emanates could not reach their bias for a year. It is infuriating in the extreme. Entering the game of gaslighting comes one of the most politically conniving narrative engineers in media, George Stephanopoulos. Today, during an interview with President Trump attorney Will Scharf, Stephanopoulos attempts to claim the Biden administration was not involved in the Alvin Bragg case against President Trump. Speaking on “ABC’s This Week,” Stephanopoulos claimed, “of course, the attorney general of...

Whatever Trump did after the 2016 presidential election, it seems safe to say that it did not retroactively promote his victory.Last January, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg summed up his case against Donald Trump this way: "We allege falsification of business records to the end of keeping information away from the electorate. It's an election interference case." That gloss made no sense, because the records at the center of the case—11 invoices, 11 checks, and 12 ledger entries that allegedly were aimed at disguising a hush-money reimbursement as payment for legal services—were produced after the 2016 presidential election. At that...

OK, serious answers only please... I'm trying to understand exactly what felony Trump was convicted of in yesterday's verdict. Here's what I understand (please correct me if I am wrong or inaccurate in any of my interpretation) : 1) Trump was accused of a sexual affair with Porn Star Stormy Daniels almost 20 years ago. 2) 9 years later, as Trump was planning to ran for President, he had Stormy Daniels sign a non-disclosuer agreement in exchange for paying her $130,000 for her silence. 3) Trump is being charged with falsifying business records in relation to this particular payment. Now,...

The husband of adult film actress Stormy Daniels on Thursday said the guilty verdict in former President Trump’s case is a “big weight off her shoulders.” Asked on CNN for Daniels’s reaction, husband Barrett Blade said she is still “processing” the news and feels a “little vindicated” over the outcome. “This wasn’t her seeking justice for herself. She was standing up for herself early on and saying what was right, but this whole hush money trial has really … it’s not her story,” Blade told CNN’s Erin Burnett.

The jury reached a verdict after day two of deliberations in the NY lawfare case against Trump. The announcement is incoming.

<p>Deliberations resume this morning, after Merchan rereads instructions back to the jurors.</p>

It’s true that Trump has been charged with a non-crime and that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump has been severely undermined by his own witnesses. In fact, several Democrat experts have said Trump could be acquitted because of how bad some of the prosecution’s witnesses have been for the case. But between the partisan jury and Biden donor Judge Juan Merchan’s jury instructions, it seems likely that Trump will be found guilty. So the question is: what happens if the jury returns a guilty verdict? According to conservative radio host Mark Levin, in the event of a...

Prosecution closing arguments went on for hours and hours and hours. This must have irritated the heck out of the jury. Not a sign of confidence in their case. Jury instructions begin at 10 am ET. Thoughts?

A possibly disturbing development has unfolded, leading many to believe the fix is already in for a Trump conviction or imprisonment. .... Snip.... The prosecution has not proven Trump committed any of these crimes or even had an affair; he will likely be found guilty anyway, given the rigged jury. Now, we learn that Secret Service officials have met with jailhouse officials to prepare for President Trump to go to prison. What is possibly even more alarming is that corrections officers will be responsible for protecting agents assigned to Trump. Recall what that Jeffrey Epstein died under suspicious circumstances after...
