Trump Jr.: This 2024 Presidential Candidate Is a ‘Democrat Plant’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. . .According to NBC News, Donald Trump Jr., son of former President Donald Trump, told supporters in Iowa on Thursday that the independent presidential campaign of longtime Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears calculated to undermine the Trump cause.

“It legitimately always felt like it was a Democrat plant to hurt the Trump thing,” Trump Jr. said. “He wouldn’t be there if the Democrats didn’t want him.” . . .

Meanwhile, according to The Hill, another Republican challenger has depicted Kennedy as a legitimate threat to Trump.

“RFK Jr. will be a vessel for anti-lockdown and anti-Fauci voters if Trump is the nominee,” Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida said in New Hampshire earlier this month. (Read more from “Trump Jr.: This 2024 Presidential Candidate Is a ‘Democrat Plant'” HERE)

Trump Jr. Calls RFK Jr. A ‘Democrat Plant’

By The Hill. The Democratic establishment essentially ignored Kennedy’s long-shot primary bid against President Biden. Now, early polls show Kennedy may actually pull more voters from Trump than Biden in a three-man race, turning a former primary opponent into a boon for the incumbent.

Kennedy centered his campaign on a rejection of the two-party system, distrust in government and skepticism of COVID-19, including the COVID vaccine.

Those positions could appeal to voters who otherwise would vote for Trump, political analysts have argued. . .

But Trump Jr. disagrees, pointing to Kennedy’s more liberal stances on immigration and gun control, among other issues.

“He should be much more of a threat to Joe Biden than to us,” Trump Jr. said Thursday. “Once you actually look at his voting record, you’re like, no, he’s just a liberal that is anti-vax. … Being anti-vax, I don’t think that’s enough.” (Read more from “Trump Jr. Calls RFK Jr. A ‘Democrat Plant’” HERE)

Jack Smith Quietly Withdraws From a Trump Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Special Counsel Jack Smith has quietly withdrawn a subpoena seeking records from former President Trump’s 2020 campaign as their investigation of whether his campaign committed any crimes continues.

This week, more than a year into their investigation, Smith’s office dropped the subpoena request from Trump’s campaign following the withdrawal of a similar subpoena to Save America, the PAC formed by Trump’s aides. . .

More from Trending Politics:

The rescinding of the subpoenas to Donald J. Trump for President Inc. and Save America indicated that Smith’s office was slowing or even ending its months-long investigation into whether Trump’s political operation violated any laws by using election fraud claims to raise funds. The retraction of the subpoena for Save America was first reported by The Washington Post last week. Smith’s team has been attempting to find out, for more than a year, whether Trump and his advisers violated federal wire fraud statutes in their fund-raising, following a path initially followed by the House select committee investigating the events of January 6, 2021.

Trump: U.S. Is ‘More Vulnerable From Inside Terror Attacks Than at Any Time in Its History’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United States is “more vulnerable from inside terror attacks than at any time in its history,” former President Donald Trump said on Tuesday following a memo from the San Diego Field Office Intelligence Division of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) warning that members of terrorist groups — namely Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) — could be encountered at the porous southern border.

“With the millions of people that Crooked Joe Biden has allowed into the United States through his ridiculous Open Borders Policy, mostly young men, and large numbers of TERRORISTS, the U.S. is more vulnerable from inside terror attacks than at any time in its history, BY FAR!” Trump exclaimed on Truth Social, ending with, “MAGA.”

Trump’s proclamation comes weeks after the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas attacked Israel, murdering at least 1,400 individuals. On October 20, the San Diego Field Office Intelligence Division of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) warned that “individuals inspired by, or reacting to, the current Israel-Hamas conflict may attempt to travel to or from the area of hostilities in the Middle East via circuitous transit across the Southwest border.” (Read more from “Trump: U.S. Is ‘More Vulnerable From Inside Terror Attacks Than at Any Time in Its History’” HERE)

Trump Thanks Former Rival for Surprising 2024 Endorsement

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Donald Trump, no stranger to attacking political rivals with derisive nicknames, thanked former Republican presidential candidate Perry Johnson for his endorsement in the 2024 primary race this week.

Johnson ended his long-shot campaign on Friday in a lengthy statement in which he cited “corruption among leaders at the RNC” as “appalling.” The Michigan businessman often polled at 0%, didn’t qualify for the first two GOP primary debates, and was not on track to meet the qualifications for next month’s debate in Miami.

Yet on Monday, Johnson announced he was endorsing Trump, claiming, “There is now only one candidate in this race who can provide a solution to our nation’s economic, foreign policy and social crises, and most importantly, beat Joe Biden at the ballot box.”

Johnson also referenced his support of Trump’s first two presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2020 in his endorsement. “During President Trump’s first term, our nation saw historic peace agreements, no new wars, an economic revival, and forged a new path forward away from corrupt, establishment career politicians,” Johnson said. “I supported President Trump in 2016 and 2020, and am proud to offer him my full endorsement once again as he seeks the Republican nomination for President in 2024.” (Read more from “Trump Thanks Former Rival for Surprising 2024 Endorsement” HERE)

Report: Mark Meadows Told Jack Smith, Grand Jury That Trump’s Election Fraud Claims Were Bogus

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has reportedly secured an immunity deal and told special counsel Jack Smith’s grand jury that he informed then-President Donald Trump that claims about widespread fraud in the 2020 election were baseless.

The revelation, reported by ABC News citing anonymous sources, marks a major break between the former top aide and Mr. Trump, who is the 2024 GOP presidential front-runner and continues to say the last election was stolen from him.

Mr. Meadows told federal investigators that Mr. Trump was being “dishonest” about his election claims starting on election night and that their side “obviously didn’t win,” according to the report.

The disclosures in the report are significant because Mr. Meadows, a former Republican congressman from North Carolina, was a trusted Trump loyalist in the period following the 2020 election and had an inside look at goings-on in the White House.

Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement: “Wrongful, unethical leaks throughout these Biden witch-hunts only underscore how detrimental these empty cases are to our Democracy and System of Justice and how vital it is for President Trump’s First Amendment rights to not be infringed upon by un-Constitutional gag orders.” (Read more from “Report: Mark Meadows Told Jack Smith, Grand Jury That Trump’s Election Fraud Claims Were Bogus” HERE)

Trump Files Three Motions to Dismiss 2020 Election Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers have filed three new motions to dismiss the case surrounding his alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The defense’s arguments for dismissal are on constitutional grounds, on legal grounds, and on selective prosecution grounds, saying the indictment “rants endlessly about President Trump’s politics” and shows “a shockingly un-American display of authoritarianism…”

Trump also claimed that he should be granted absolute immunity in the federal election interference case against him. The prosecution, led by special counsel Jack Smith, rebuked that argument in a filing last week.

Jack Smith’s team will also get a chance to respond to the newly filed motions within the next few weeks. (Read more from “Trump Files Three Motions to Dismiss 2020 Election Case” HERE)

HORRORS: Federal Court Sentence Man to Prison for Anti-Hillary Meme from 2016

/0 Comments/in , /by

[Last week, an] Obama-appointed federal judge sentenced a man named Douglass Mackey to seven months in jail for posting a meme in 2016 that directed people to vote for then-candidate Hillary Clinton via text message. . .

While Mackey has appealed his conviction, his lawyer, Andrew Frisch, says that the case “presents an unusual array of compelling appellate issues. I am optimistic that the conviction will be vacated.”

Reactions on the right to Mackey’s conviction were mostly outrage over Biden’s ‘weaponized’ DOJ going after another conservative. “X” owner Elon Musk said that what he did “had no material impact on the election,” in comparison to those behind the suppression of Hunter Biden’s laptop, which “*did* have a material impact on the election.”

Trump Gag Order Put On Hold as Washington Judge Weighs Appeal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump’s gag order was put on hold while a Washington judge weighs his appeal.

On Monday, Trump received a limited gag order in the criminal election interference case in Washington, D.C., blocking him from making statements publicly targeting prosecutors, court staff, and their families and blocking him from posting about witnesses and their testimony. However, that order was lifted Friday, and a timetable for responses was established.

“It is hereby ORDERED that the court’s 105 Opinion and Order is administratively STAYED to permit the parties’ briefing and the court’s consideration of Defendant’s Motion,” the court filing said. “It is FURTHER ORDERED that the government shall file any opposition to Defendant’s Motion by October 25, 2023, and that Defendant shall file any Reply by October 28, 2023.” (Read more from “Trump Gag Order Put On Hold as Washington Judge Weighs Appeal” HERE)

Court Employee Arrested After Trying to Approach Trump at NYC Civil Fraud Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New York state court employee was arrested Wednesday after she tried to approach former President Donald Trump — claiming she wanted to help him — during his ongoing civil fraud trial in lower Manhattan, officials said.

The woman, who cops identified as Jenny Hannigan, was charged with contempt of court for disrupting the proceedings in Manhattan Supreme Court just before noon “by standing up and walking towards the front of the courtroom yelling out to Mr. Trump,” Office of Court Administration spokesman Lucian Chalfen said.

A Post reporter inside the courtroom at the time did not hear Hannigan yell, but she was caught talking loudly in the hallway after being escorted out.

Hannigan, 37 — of Baldwin, NY — is a secretary for a judge in Queens, according to a courthouse source. No one answered a phone number at an address listed for her there.

Hannigan, wearing a black dress and matching blazer, was stopped by court officers before she could get near Trump, 77, and his attorneys — who were seated at the defense table, Chalfen said in a statement.

Trump Calls Federal Gag Order in DC Trial ‘So Unconstitutional’ and Says He Will Appeal

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump blasted a limited gag order a federal judge issued against him Monday in the Washington, D.C., criminal election interference case.

Trump claimed the gag order was “so unconstitutional” and that his team would appeal the order during a campaign event in Adel, Iowa, Monday afternoon and just mere hours after his campaign spokesperson called the order “an absolute abomination.”

“Today a judge put on a gag order. I’ll be the only politician in history that runs with a gag order where I’m not allowed to criticize people. Can you imagine this?” Trump said. “Do you believe this? I’m not allowed to criticize people, so we’ll see. We’ll appeal it and we’ll see but it’s so unconstitutional.”

Trump again compared himself to the infamous American gangster Al Capone before bragging about his increasing support in the wake of four criminal cases and the 91 indictments he faces.

“He was only indicted one time. I’ve been indicted four times,” Trump said, comparing himself to Capone. “And in addition, I have the civil trials that are all coming out of the Justice Department. They’ve weaponized the Justice Department and the FBI … This is like a banana republic but we’re going to be okay. … The good news is, I’m the only one that’s ever been indicted with the numbers went through the roof.” (Read more from “Trump Calls Federal Gag Order in DC Trial ‘So Unconstitutional’ and Says He Will Appeal” HERE)
