Dem Judge Fines Trump $354M

/1 Comment/in , /by

Judge Arthur Engoron fined former Donald Trump and the Trump Organization on Friday in civil a fraud case for more than $350 million and barred him from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation for three years.

New York Attorney General Letitia James sought to essentially bankrupt Trump by calling for a $370 million fine and a lifetime of from the real estate industry in New York State. James claimed Trump committed financial fraud.

Trump plans to appeal the ruling. “This is a case that should have never been brought, and I think we should be entitled to damages,” Trump said during closing arguments.

Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley called the ruling “confiscatory, extreme, and abusive.” . . .

NBC News reported specifics of the case:

James contended the defendants used the inflated financial statements to obtain bank loans and insurance policies at rates he otherwise wouldn’t have been entitled to and “reaped hundreds of millions of dollars in ill-gotten gains.”

…

Among the examples cited as fraud by the attorney general’s office during the trial was Trump valuing his triplex home in Trump Tower in New York City at three times its actual size and value, as well as including a brand value to increase the valuation of his golf courses on the financial statements, which explicitly said brand values were not included.

Another example pointed to by the attorney general clearly got under his skin — a dispute over the value of Mar-a-Lago, his social club and residence in Florida. Trump’s financial statements between 2011 and 2021 valued Mar-a-Lago at between $426 million and $612 million, while the Palm Beach County assessor appraised the property’s market value to be between $18 million and $27 million during the same timeframe.

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The recess underscores Willis’s lack of decorum during her testimony, in which the judge was forced to admonish the prosecutor.

After about an hour of testimony, the defense questioning Willis asked the prosecutor if Nathan Wade, Willis’s lover and fellow Trump prosecutor, ever visited her “at the place you laid your head.”

“When?” Willis replied.

“Has he ever visited you at the place you laid your head,” the defense against asked.

Legal Analyst Polis: It’s ‘Game Over’ if Fani Willis Lied — ‘She Will Be Disqualified’

By Breitbart. Legal analyst Caroline Polisi said on MSNBC special coverage of the Georgia hearing on Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis’ eligibility in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump that it is “game over.” . . .

Referencing a dispute on the timeline of Willis and Wade’s relationship, Polis said, “Right. Don’t let the legalese fool you. This is epic. This is monumental. If things are going in the direction we think Fani Willis lied to the court, it’s game over for her. She will be disqualified. If they had a relationship prior to when they represented truth to the court, it’s a huge deal. I can’t overstate.” (Read more from “Legal Analyst Polis: It’s ‘Game Over’ if Fani Willis Lied — ‘She Will Be Disqualified’” HERE)

Big Fani’s Lover Gets Spanked at Hearing… Recap… This Was Ugly…

/3 Comments/in , , /by

The word “bombshell” is overused, but what just went down in Georgia was more like a nuclear blast.

Caught in the fallout are Big Fani Willis and her lover, Nathan Wade. The case against Trump in Georgia is now in serious doubt. Furthermore, Big Fani and Nathan Wade appear to be in serious legal jeopardy, facing anything from sanctions to disbarment to even felony charges.

To recap, the judge in Trump’s Georgia case ordered a hearing to decide whether or not Fani Willis and her boyfriend ought to be thrown off the case due to misconduct, self-dealing, and misleading the court.

Bloomberg:

A Georgia judge ordered a two-day hearing this week to determine whether he should disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis from the racketeering case against Donald Trump because she had a romantic relationship with the lead prosecutor.

Trump co-defendant Michael Roman wants to question witnesses in court after accusing Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, and special prosecutor Nathan Wade of having an improper secret romance when she hired him in 2021 to lead the investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Roman’s attorney claims Willis has paid Wade more than $650,000 and they’ve received improper personal and financial benefits that require their removal from the case.

Report: CIA Started Russia Collusion Hoax By Asking Foreign Governments To Spy On Trump Campaign

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) set off the Russian collusion hoax in 2016 when U.S. intelligence officials recruited foreign governments to spy on Democrats’ American political opponents. On Tuesday, Substack publications Public and Racket revealed new details about the origins of the Spygate hoax the U.S. federal government perpetrated on the Donald Trump presidential campaign.

“Multiple credible sources tell Public and Racket that the United States Intelligence Community (IC), including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), illegally mobilized foreign intelligence agencies to target Trump advisors long before the summer of 2016,” the publications reported. “The US [intelligence community] asked the ‘Five Eyes’ intelligence alliance to surveil Trump’s associates and share the intelligence they acquired with US agencies, say sources close to a House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HSPCI) investigation.”

The “Five Eyes” alliance refers to the global intelligence apparatus that includes the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

“After Public and Racket had been told that President Barack Obama’s CIA Director, John Brennan, had identified 26 Trump associates for the Five Eyes to target, a source confirmed that the [intelligence community] had ‘identified [them] as people to “bump,” or make contact with or manipulate. They were targets of our own IC and law enforcement — targets for collection and misinformation,’” the Substacks reported. “Unknown details about the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign and raw intelligence related to the IC’s surveillance of the Trump campaign are in a 10-inch binder that Trump ordered to be declassified at the very end of his term, sources told Public and Racket.”

“If the top-secret documents exist proving these charges, they are potentially proof that multiple US intelligence officials broke laws against spying and election interference.” (Read more from “Report: CIA Started Russia Collusion Hoax By Asking Foreign Governments To Spy On Trump Campaign” HERE)

Nikki Haley Fires Back At Trump Over His Comments About Her Husband

/3 Comments/in , /by

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley responded this week to former President Donald Trump’s continued attacks about the whereabouts of her husband, who is deployed overseas with the National Guard, saying that his remarks were “disgusting.”

Trump has made the attacks as he leads Haley by nearly 60 points in polling for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average.

Over the weekend, Trump brought up Haley’s husband during a rally, asking: “What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone.” He reiterated the line of attack in a Monday social media post, saying her performance on the campaign trail was “an embarrassment to her wonderful husband” and suggesting “he should come back home to help save her dying campaign.”

Haley responded to the attacks during an interview with Dana Perino, saying: “It’s disgusting. I mean, every bit of it is disgusting.”

“You know, to sit there and mock my husband for not being with me on the presidential trail because he is deployed and serving our country. You mock one veteran, you’re mocking all veterans,” Haley said. “But this is a pattern, he’s done this over and over again. Whether he went and calls military members suckers. Whether he was at Arlington Cemetery saying what was in it for them, why would they do this?”

Trump’s Supreme Court Petition Seeks Stay on Immunity Ruling in January 6 Case

/2 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team has taken a significant step in the ongoing legal battle surrounding the events of January 6. In a 112-page filing, Trump’s attorneys submitted an application to the U.S. Supreme Court, aiming to stay a lower court ruling that challenges the notion of presidential immunity for alleged crimes committed while in office.

The filing emphasizes Special Counsel Jack Smith’s previous attempt to expedite the Supreme Court’s intervention in the matter after the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia rejected Trump’s immunity claim. Despite Smith’s efforts, the Supreme Court declined to take immediate action, leading to the case being taken to the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Trump’s legal team argues that the Circuit’s rapid decision against the immunity claim represents a “stunning breach of precedent and historical norms.”

The core argument revolves around the idea that presidents, in the performance of their official duties, should not be subjected to prosecution. The legal team contends that such prosecutions would create an environment of political targeting, hindering the president’s ability to make critical decisions without fear of legal repercussions.

The application, titled United States v. Trump, seeks a stay on the ruling and calls for a thorough consideration of President Trump’s claim of immunity through the regular course of justice.

J.D. Vance Finds ‘Impeachment Time Bomb’ Aimed at Trump in Ukraine Aid Bill

/2 Comments/in , /by

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) raised the alarm on Monday that the $95 billion Senate bill to fund the Ukraine War contains an “impeachment time bomb” aimed at former President Donald Trump if he wins reelection in November, and called on his Republican colleagues to vote against it.

“Buried in the bill’s text is an impeachment time bomb for the next Trump presidency if he tries to stop funding the war in Ukraine. We must vote against this disastrous bill,” Vance posted on X. . .

Earlier Monday, Vance sent a memo to his Republican colleagues highlighting that the bill would fund Ukraine through September 30, 2025, which would be nearly a year into the possible second presidential term for Trump if he is reelected.

Vance wrote in his memo:

The bill includes $1.6 billion for foreign military financing in Ukraine, and $13.7 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. These funds expire on September 30, 2025—nearly a year into the possible second term of President Trump.

Nikki Haley: ‘I Am Going to Beat President Trump’ (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) said Monday on CNN’s “The Lead” that she will beat former President Donald Trump for the party nomination.

Anchor Jake Tapper said, “So obviously you’re running in South Carolina and you’ve told me that you plan to be around well obviously you want to be the nominee and then the president, but, but you’re going to be around at least until super Tuesday. If the unthinkable happens in your view and you do not win will it be difficult to Support Trump as the Republican Party’s nominee, given what you think about him quite obviously.”

Haley said, “Well, first, I think that you need to know that I am going to beat President Trump. But you should ask him if it’ll be difficult for him to support me?” (Read more from “Nikki Haley: ‘I Am Going to Beat President Trump’” HERE)

Trump Explains NATO Stance After Negotiating Story Draws Controversy

/32 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, former President Donald Trump explained his stance on NATO after drawing controversy with a story about how he used hardball tactics to negotiate with other world leaders on supporting the alliance.

A statement posted to Truth Social talked about how Trump, who is seeking a second term in the White House, argued how member nations contribute more to NATO’s collective defense with a strong U.S. leader pushing them to meet the 2% minimum GDP defense investment guideline.

“When I told the 20 Countries that weren’t paying their fair share that they had to PAY UP, and said without doing that you will not have U.S. Military Protection, the money came rolling in,” Trump said after an opening line claiming that his critics acknowledge how “STRONG” he made NATO.

“After so many years of the United States picking up the tab, it was a beautiful sight to see. But now, without me there to say YOU MUST PAY, they are at it again. We are into helping Ukraine for more than 100 Billion Dollars more than NATO,” he continued, alluding to U.S. support for Ukraine in its war against Russia.

“We have nobody that they respect, and they insist on paying far less than we do. Wrong, NATO HAS TO EQUALIZE, AND NOW. THEY WILL DO THAT IF PROPERLY ASKED. IF NOT, AMERICA FIRST! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” Trump said.

Judge Says Fani Willis’ Disqualification ‘Possible’ Given Recent Evidence

/4 Comments/in , /by

Judge Scott McAfee said Monday that it is “possible” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could be disqualified based on evidence of alleged corruption presented by Trump co-defendant Michael Roman.

Roman filed a motion last month claiming Willis benefited from appointing her romantic partner Nathan Wade as special prosecutor on the case against former President Donald Trump when he used funds earned from his “lucrative” contract to take her on vacations. McAfee said the evidence presented by Roman to date requires maintaining the hearing scheduled for Thursday to determine whether or not Willis should be disqualified from the case, though Willis urged him to dismiss Roman’s motion without a hearing.

“The state has admitted a relationship existed,” McAfee said. “[W]hat remains to be proven is the existence and extent of any financial benefit, again, if there even was one. So because I think it’s possible that the facts alleged by the defendant could result in disqualification, I think an evidentiary hearing must occur to establish the record on those core allegations.”

“I think the issues that point here are, whether a relationship existed, whether that relationship was romantic or non-romantic in nature, when it formed and whether it continues,” he continued. “That’s only relevant because it’s in combination with the question of the existence and extent of any personal benefit.”

Bank statements contained in a filing in Wade’s divorce case revealed he purchased airline tickets to Miami and San Francisco in Willis’ name. In a Friday filing, Roman’s attorney claimed Wade’s gifts to her totaled thousands of dollars.
