/0 Comments/in , /by

A co-defendant in former President Donald Trump’s Georgia election interference case pleaded guilty Friday, according to multiple reports.

Scott Hall, who faced seven charges in relation to his alleged breach of a Coffee County election office, became the first of the 19 co-defendants to accept a plea deal on Friday before Judge Scott McAfee, according to The Hill. Hall, who owns a bail bond business, pleaded guilty to five charges.

“You understand that you’re pleading guilty today because you believe there exists a factual basis that supports the plea, and you are pleading guilty because you are, in fact, guilty?” McAfee asked Hall, according to The Hill.

Trump and his co-defendants were indicted on charges including violating Georgia’s “Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations” (RICO) Act in August.

Appeals Court Rejects Trump’s Request to Delay Trial Set to Begin Early Next Week

/4 Comments/in , /by

An appeals court rejected former President Donald Trump’s request Thursday to delay his civil fraud trial.

The trial is scheduled to be held Oct. 2, and Judge Arthur Engoron will be presiding over it. The case stems from a Sept. 2022 lawsuit New York State Attorney General Letitia James filed against Trump and his family members over allegations of fraud while constructing his real estate business, according to The Associated Press (AP).

James has requested the judge ban Trump from conducting business in the state and is seeking $250 million in damages, The AP reported. James also asked for a five-year commercial real estate ban against Trump Organization and the former president, according to Reuters.

Engoron ruled Tuesday that Trump and The Trump Organization exaggerated his net worth and manipulated his assets, which deceived banks and insurance companies during operations, per The AP. Engoron also ruled Trump and his business associates lied on bank statements which allowed them to profit off of favorable loan terms and lower insurance premiums.

Democrats Fake Trump-Zelensky Phone Call, Again, in First Impeachment Hearing

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) repeated a fake version of the infamous 2019 Trump-Zelensky phone call in the first impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden at the House Oversight and Accountability Committee Thursday.

Raskin, the ranking minority member of the committee, claimed in his opening statement that the entire inquiry was a recapitulation of claims of corruption made by Republicans in 2019, of which he said there was no evidence.

In the process, Raskin claimed that Trump associates traveled to Ukraine to dig up dirt on Joe Biden, which he said “culminated in the infamous phone call that then-President [Donald] Trump made to Ukrainian President [Volodymyr] Zelensky, in which Trump threatened to withhold hundreds of billions of dollars in economic, strategic, and military security assistance to Ukraine unless Zelensky embraced their ridiculous fabrication and falsely advertised to the world that Ukraine was investigating Joe Biden.”

Raskin’s version of events repeats a fake version of the phone call, which Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) performed when he conducted his 2019 impeachment inquiry into Trump, and which formed the basis for Democrats’ subsequent arguments for impeaching and removing Trump.

But the transcript of the call, declassified and released by Trump, did not include any threats to withhold aid at all. Nor did it include any “quid pro quo” in which the president made aid conditional on any investigation of Biden.

Trump Hits Back at Chris Christie for ‘Donald Duck’ Nickname

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump dismissed former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s new nickname for him that attacked the former president for his absence from the second GOP presidential primary debate.

Christie called Trump “Donald Duck” on Wednesday night, criticizing him for skipping the event in favor of attending an event in Michigan for the United Auto Workers strike. . .

Unimpressed with the nickname, Trump fired back at Christie in an interview with Fox News Digital Wednesday night.

“Anybody that would come up with that nickname shouldn’t be running for president,” Trump said.

Trump defended his decision to skip the debate, saying that due to his sizable lead over the field, it was “much more important” for him to deal “with the UAW and the fact that the Biden administration is going to destroy their jobs over the next two years by going all electric vehicle.” (Read more from “Trump Hits Back at Chris Christie for ‘Donald Duck’ Nickname” HERE)

New York Judge’s Anti-Trump Fraud Ruling “Delusional”

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron delivered a bombshell ruling [this week] that the former president committed fraud by inflating the value of his wealth, with details including the monetary value associated with Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. . .

However, the ruling raised eyebrows when Engoron, a Democrat who ran unopposed in the general election on Nov. 3, 2015, evaluated the worth of Trump’s prized Mar-a-Lago Club resort at $18 million, ruling that the property was inflated by 2,500%. . .

One prominent Palm Beach real estate broker, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told The Post, “It’s utterly delusional to think that property is only worth $18 million . . . If that property were on the market today, I would list it at around $300 million, minimum, at least. He also has the separate golf course minutes away” . . .

To put it in perspective, a 2-acre wooded lot at 1980 S. Ocean Blvd., just 5 minutes from Mar-a-Lago, is currently listed for $150 million. Mar-a-Lago, situated at 1100 S. Ocean Blvd., dwarfs this lot tenfold and operates as a commercial business with around 500 members as part of the golf club.

Also nearby: a 2.3-acre plot of land at 1063/1071 N. Ocean Blvd., on the market for a sky-high $200 million. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate boasts 20 acres. (Read more from “New York Judge’s Anti-Trump Fraud Ruling “Delusional”” HERE)

Leftist Judge Won’t Recuse Herself From Trump J6 Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

United States District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan on Wednesday refused to recuse herself from overseeing the federal case former against President Donald Trump over his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Trump’s attorneys earlier this month filed a motion for Chutkan to recuse herself based on comments she has made at sentencing hearings for multiple January 6 defendants.

For example, Chutkan described the Capitol riot as “an attempt to violently overthrow the government, the legally, lawfully, peacefully elected government by individuals who were mad that their guy lost” during Christine Priola’s October 2022 sentencing.

Chutkan claimed those inside the Capitol did so out of “blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day.”

“The public meaning of this statement is inescapable — President Trump is free, but should not be,” Trump’s attorneys argued in their recusal motion. “As an apparent prejudgment of guilt, these comments are disqualifying standing alone.”

Christie Goes After Trump: If You Keep Skipping Debates, ‘We’re Gonna Call You Donald Duck’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie criticized former President Donald Trump during the second Republican Party primary debate on Wednesday night.

Christie made the remarks at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

“And I want to look at camera right now tell you, Donald, I know you’re watching,” Christie said. “You can’t help yourself. I know you’re watching, okay? And you’re not here tonight — not because of polls and not because of your indictments — you’re not here tonight because you’re afraid of being on the stage and defending your record.”

“You’re ducking these things,” he continued. “And let me tell you what’s going to happen. You keep doing that, no one up here is gonna call you Donald Trump anymore. We’re gonna call you Donald Duck.”

Experts’ Republican Debate Verdict: Trump ‘Still in Driver’s Seat’ After Simi Valley ‘Circus’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Another Republican debate without 2024 frontrunner and former President Donald Trump meant another debate with candidates fighting for second place, The Post’s experts agreed Wednesday.

“They all have trouble because of Trump,” said former Sen. Alfonse D’Amato. “Trump was smart by not going. The debate was a circus. Nobody really scored on him.”

“Without Trump there, it’s really like the seven dwarfs are missing their hero,” agreed Democratic consultant Chris Coffey. “No clear win is a win for Trump, which may be a win for Biden.”

“No impact on President Trump’s nomination,” concurred E. O’Brien Murray, a campaign strategist for Republicans and conservative Democrats. “Too many GOP candidates divide the vote.”

While the dynamic of the race may not have been fundamentally altered, our experts took note of the attacks on Trump as “missing in action” by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. (Read more from “Experts’ Republican Debate Verdict: Trump ‘Still in Driver’s Seat’ After Simi Valley ‘Circus’ HERE)

WATCH: Trump Loudly Booed by Supporters After Introducing His ‘Friend’ Lindsey Graham

/3 Comments/in , , /by

By Mediaite. Former President Donald Trump defended the honor of his “friend,” Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), at a rally in Graham’s home state on Monday by touting the senator’s popularity with Democrats.

“Another man who’s always there, he’s always — I’ll tell you what. When I need help on the left, he’s great. He’s great, and he’s my friend, too. Lindsey Graham, wherever you are. Lindsey?” began Trump to a cacophony of boos at a campaign rally in Summerville, South Carolina.

“Oh no, no!” shouted Trump back at the crowd. “He helps me on the left. We need help sometimes. Republicans shouldn’t need help on the left, but he helps me.”

Graham has long been reviled by the base of the Republican Party for some of his moderate positions, most notably on immigration. The longtime legislator ran a longshot bid for the presidency in 2016 and made headlines with his unsparing critiques of Trump at the time, calling him a “race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot.”

“You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell,” remarked Graham in 2015. (Read more from “WATCH: Trump Loudly Booed by Supporters After Introducing His ‘Friend’ Lindsey Graham” HERE)

Trump Calms Rally Crowd After Graham Mention Gets Boos

By The Hill. Former President Trump defended ally Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday after Trump’s shoutout to the South Carolina Republican during his rally in the state prompted boos from the crowd. . .

It’s not the first time Graham’s name has prompted boos from a Trump crowd. During a Trump rally in Pickens, S.C., in July, the senator was called a “traitor” and received boos from attendees. In April, a New Hampshire crowd booed the mention of Graham’s name during a Trump event in which the former president referred to the South Carolina Republican as “progressive.”

Graham has at times worked with Democrats in the Senate, including helping the Biden administration advance judicial nominees, drawing ire from other conservatives. (Read more from “Trump Calms Rally Crowd After Graham Mention Gets Boos” HERE)
