Michael Cohen, former President Trump’s onetime fixer-turned-foe, is expected to take the stand on Monday in Trump’s New York criminal trial, according to a source with knowledge of the matter. Billed as a star witness for the Manhattan district attorney’s office, Cohen’s testimony is expected to mark the culmination of prosecutors’ case in chief as it approaches its end. It could last multiple days. Cohen is expected to implicate his ex-boss as he testifies about a hush money deal with adult film actress Stormy Daniels that underpins Trump’s case. Many of prosecutors’ witnesses so far have conceded they had no...

NEW YORK — New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan blamed Donald Trump’s attorney Susan Necheles in court Thursday for not sufficiently objecting in real time to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels’s detailed testimony this week — and again said Daniels’s testimony does not warrant a mistrial. In the lead-up to his ruling against a mistrial, Merchan observed that there were “many times when Ms. Necheles could have objected but didn’t.” The judge acknowledged that he wished New York prosecutors hadn’t asked Daniels certain questions. But in a biting review of Necheles’s performance as Trump’s defense lawyer, Merchan cited one incident...

The well known boxing promoter Don King was recently asked for his thoughts on the 2024 election and if he had a message for Trump. He responded, ‘Get reelected.’ He went on to say, ‘We must reelect him to save ourselves.’ Love him or hate him, Don King is an icon and he certainly understands what’s at stake in the election. RedState has more: The 92-year-old legendary boxing promoter on Wednesday endorsed former President Donald Trump to become future President Donald Trump in November. Like Trump, King has never been afraid to speak his exact mind. Referring to the former...

GAG ON THIS, JUDGE MERCHAN🚨 Judge Merchan's daughter, Loren, didn't just donate 20 bucks...or receive 10k from a candidate...or just work for Kamala Harris. Her firm (of which she is partner) received 2.15 MILLION DOLLARS DIRECTLY FROM BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2020. Receipts

I've received two cell phone calls in the past few days and both were labelled "Likely Scam" in red letters. The number was not shown so I didn't consider answering it. On the second such call curiosity got to me and I decided to answer. It was the RNC soliciting donations. I hung up and then went to the previous "scam" call and that was from the National Republican Congressional Committee. the numbers were 771-202-xxxx and 771-213-xxxx. They've been doing something similar with email from Republican entities. The Trump Campaign, RNC, NRCC, and the FEC need to be alerted, although...

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 NEW: Judge Cannon preparing to unseal nonpublic defense motions filed by Trump related to Mar a Lago raid, DC Judge Beryl Howell order that pierced atty-client privilege in docs case, and a prosecutorial abuse motion. Keeps getting good...

Judge Juan Merchan has ordered President Trump to remain silent as the media and Democrats spin lie after lie against his record and character. This is how free societies die. Just as shocking as the Democrat party’s lawlessness is the Republican party’s total avoidance to confront these vicious political acts. We all know this lawlessness cannot continue yet Republicans remain too weak to raise their voices with the rare exception the courageous few who are shunned by their own party elites. On Thursday the media continued their toxic reports on Trump and porn star Stormy Daniels, a opportunist who owes...

In its obsession with ‘getting Trump,’ it now stands in bright sunlight for all to see. As I’ve watched the political Uniparty and administrative Deep State conspire to destroy Donald Trump over the last eight years, a tinge of optimism has taken root inside me. Not only have his tormentors been unsuccessful, but also a growing share of the population see the attacks against him as un-American, vindictive, and dangerous. There is a heightened social awareness that D.C. is filled with corrupt people who operate the tentacles of government solely for their own benefit and enrichment. No matter how omnipotent...

Former President Donald Trump’s defense on Thursday seemingly worked to paint the picture that porn actress Stormy Daniels attempted to financially benefit from his wealth and fame, according to reports. Daily Caller courts reporter Katelynn Richardson noted that during the defense’s cross-examination of the porn star, who nearly blew the trial for the prosecution on Tuesday, Trump attorney Susan Necheles was “pushing to show Daniels was motivated by money when she entered into her 2016 NDA [non-disclosure agreement].” Daniels notes she did the 2018 Anderson Cooper interview for free. Necheles: After the interview, you negotiated a book contract for $800,000?...

On Wednesday, former President Trump blasted President Biden after Biden accused Israel of attacking population centers and threatened to withhold military aid to the Jewish state if Israel attacked Rafah, the last stronghold of the terrorist group Hamas. Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett in reference to 2,000-pound bombs the U.S. has supplied Israel, “Civilians have been killed in Gaza as the consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers,” despite the fact that Israel does not target “population centers” and takes exhaustive steps to warn civilians that they need to leave specific areas before...

Trump’s attorneys filed a motion for mistrial on Thursday after Stormy Daniels took the witness stand. Stormy Daniels took the witness stand again Thursday in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ trial against Trump in New York City. ..... Snip..... Trump’s attorneys on Tuesday moved for a mistrial over Stormy Daniels’ testimony, but the crooked judge rejected it. “What’s the jury to do with that? It’s still extraordinarily prejudicial to insert safety — safety concerns into a trial about business records. There’s no way to unring the bell in our view,” Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche argued. “As a threshold matter, Mr....

Cernovich @Cernovich Trump needs a VP that will make him assassination proof. Anyone saying otherwise has no understanding of the time we are in. Tim Scott as VP? Trump's survivability will drop to zero.

Just a friendly outreach to ask what other Freepers have found to be the most triggering of conversation starter or reply words or phrases in day to day living and interactions with Biden voters?

Judge Arthur Engoron is now under investigation after claims surfaced that he received unsolicited advice from a prominent New York City real estate attorney, Adam Leitman Bailey, weeks before ordering former President Donald Trump to pay a hefty $454 million judgment. This investigation by the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct seeks to determine whether Engoron violated judicial conduct rules, NBC New York reported

It looks like the ‘strongest’ legal case against Trump is based on yet another set of lies from corrupt federal agencies.On May 7, Florida Judge Aileen Cannon postponed former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial after explosive information dropped late Friday afternoon. Several new pieces of evidence indicate it’s even possible federal employees planted classified documents to frame Trump. Even if what happened isn’t that nefarious — although exactly that scenario has already been deployed against Trump several times — not only could the case be thrown out of court, but some federal lawyers may have risked their licenses for...

It will soon be Barron Trump’s time to step into the political spotlight. Trump, former President Donald Trump’s youngest child, who will graduate from high school next week and has largely been kept out of the political spotlight, was picked by the Republican Party of Florida on Wednesday night as one of the state’s at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention, according to a list of delegates obtained by NBC News. “We have a great delegation of grassroots leaders, elected officials and even Trump family members,” Florida GOP chairman Evan Power said. “Florida is continuing to have a great convention...

If you have been following Conservative media recently on the subject of the Donald Trump/Stormy Daniels trial in New York City, you have probably heard numerous commentators express the opinion that, even though Alvin Bragg’s case against President Donald Trump is largely falling apart, the fact that he is being tried by a highly biased jury, he will be convicted nonetheless. I can only say that if you are a Democrat you should be crossing your fingers that this does not happen. Let me explain why…. It’s very clear that the initial Democrat strategy to take down Trump was to...

Paul Ryan must be very confused about what makes a person’s “character” good or bad; according to a new report, the former congressman will not be voting for Donald Trump, because “character is too important” and therefore, he can’t get behind a guy like Trump. Apparently, Ryan intends to write in another Republican candidate, which is obviously a throw away vote and therefore, one less vote against Joe Biden. Funny, because Ryan and all the other RINOs never say a word about Biden’s character, nor are they that critical of his policies. The goal with Ryan and others is to...

President Joe Biden, 81, will debate former President Donald Trump at least once, Biden campaign spokeswoman Arning Jo President Joe Biden, 81, will debate former President Donald Trump at least once, Biden spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday. After months of speculation, Biden announced in April on the Howard Stern Show that he would debate the former president. “I am, somewhere. I am happy to debate him,” he said when asked if he would debate. Trump immediately asked Biden to make good on his promise and suggested the event take place on live television at the Manhattan courthouse that Friday night. Biden, who...
