A European couple who videotaped the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely could be “incredibly favorable” to ex-Marine Daniel Penny’s defense at his upcoming trial, his lawyers say — but the mystery lovebirds have refused to testify. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Maxwell Wiley revealed Monday that the two European eyewitnesses have rebuffed prosecutors’ bid to get them to turn over the footage and return to the city for Penny’s trial next month, according to a transcript obtained by The Post. The couple “apparently took a video of the incident, and since that time have declined to testify in the Grand...

he FBI’s director has revealed that investigators still do not know whether it was a bullet or some shrapnel which grazed Donald Trump’s ear during his attempted assassination. Christopher Wray told a marathon session of the US House Judiciary Committee that the FBI was still working to determine exactly what hit the former president’s ear during the shooting. “My understanding is that either it [a bullet] or some shrapnel is what grazed his ear,” he said.

Cross-examination will be lit!

Political commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin said Thursday on CNN’s coverage of former President Donald Trump’s business record trial that witness Michael Cohen after the defense lawyer Todd Blanche’s cross-examination. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Michael Cohen says he never sought a job at the white house. Bryan Lanza here who worked on the 2016 campaign, says, that’s not true. He recalls Michael Cohen wanting to be White House council. We have some journalists on our panel here saying that’s not true. They were recalling Michael Cohen saying he was going to join the White House. He was very excited to do...

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s paralegal testified on Friday that his office deleted from their evidence three pages of phone records between convicted liar Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Keith Davidson without notifying former President Donald Trump’s legal team, according to reports. Trump attorney Emil Bove questioned paralegal Jaden Jarmel-Schneider on Friday about three pages of 2018 phone records between Davidson and Cohen that Bragg’s office had deleted, according to CNN. Additional phone records between Daniels manager Gina Rodriguez and then-National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard regarding Daniels’ claim about her alleged affair were also deleted, according to The Epoch...

Last week, House lawmakers heard from whistleblowers who said they have information about why the National Guard‘s response to the Capitol riot was severely delayed. The Committee on House Administration’s oversight panel conducted a hearing last Wednesday called “Three Years Later: D.C. National Guard Whistleblowers Speak Out on January 6 Delay.” The whistleblowers also were expected to provide details about then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy’s role in the response.

Fani Willis could be hit by last minute testimony from a key witness in her ethics hearing, as she fights to remain on Donald Trump's election interference case. Prosecutors have requested that Stan Brody, who works at Acumen Wines, give testimony during closing statements in Willis' ethics hearing, after he told CNN last month that he hosted the Fulton County district attorney, and a man he later learned was special prosecutor Nathan Wade at a two-hour wine tasting in early 2023. Brody said that Willis paid with cash for two bottles of wine, each valued at roughly $150, and for...

The White House sent an angry letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland a day before the Special Counsel report on President Joe Biden's mishandling of classified information was released. White House Counsel Ed Siskel complained in a letter on February 7 that Special Counsel Robert Hur's report included 'multiple denigrating statements' about Biden's memory. Details of the White House letters between Justice Department officials were first published by Politico. 'A global and pejorative judgment on the President's powers of recollection in general is uncalled for and unfounded,' the letter read. The latest development in the special counsel saga as Congress...

In his deposition last week, Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris and his lawyer invoked attorney-client privilege at least 17 times over questions related to his payments and work for Hunter Biden. According to the transcript of the testimony reviewed by Just the News, Morris said that he began representing Biden about one week after the December 2019 California fundraiser for his father, Joe Biden, who became president in 2020. The details surrounding this meeting were previously reported by Just the News. Morris’ early representation of Hunter Biden allowed him to invoke the privilege frequently, to avoid answering questions about his first...

Donald Trump threw his hands in the air and said he’d “love it” if the judge at his New York defamation trial threw him out of court for loudly ripping sex abuse accuser E. Jean Carroll as she testified Wednesday. The “Ask E. Jean” advice columnist’s lawyers twice complained that the former president was providing running commentary to his team within earshot of the jurors — including calling Carroll’s testimony “false” and grousing that “she now seems to have finally gotten her memory back.” “Mr. Trump has a right to be present here but that right can be forfeited if...

Lawmakers jetted home to spend the holiday week in their districts after narrowly avoiding a shutdown with a stopgap spending bill that bought them until the new year to work out a long-term government funding plan - wrapping up a marathon 10 weeks of session in the House. But after the week's respite, here's what to look out for on Capitol Hill: Biden Impeachment Top Republicans leading the...

A third attorney who falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen flipped Tuesday and agreed to cooperate in the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia — saying she had “deep remorse” for her actions. Jenna Ellis, 38, tearfully said she “failed” to do “due diligence” on claims that the election was stolen through fraud in swing states including Georgia, where President Biden beat Trump by fewer than 12,000 votes — joining former Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and Ken Chesebro in also pleading guilty. *** “I believe in and I value election integrity,” she went on. “If I...

Donald Trump obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in loans using financial statements that a court has since deemed fraudulent, a retired bank official testified Wednesday at the former president’s New York civil fraud trial. Trump’s “statements of financial condition” were key to his approval for a $125 million loan in 2011 for his golf resort in Doral, Florida, and a $107 million loan in 2012 for his Chicago hotel and condo skyscraper, former Deutsche Bank risk management officer Nicholas Haigh testified. But although the bank didn’t conduct its own full appraisals of Trump’s properties, it sometimes gave sizable “haircuts”...

A Trump employee who monitored security cameras at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate abruptly retracted his earlier grand jury testimony and implicated Trump and others in obstruction of justice just after switching from an attorney paid for by a Trump political action committee to a lawyer from the federal defender’s office in Washington, prosecutors said in a court filing Tuesday. The aide — described as “Trump Employee 4” in public court filings but identified elsewhere as Yuscil Taveras — held the title of director of information technology at Mar-a-Lago.
