Judge Juan Merchan has postponed his decision on whether to dismiss Donald Trump’s conviction on presidential immunity grounds until November 19th, following requests for a postponement from both the defense and prosecution. The delay comes after Trump, who was convicted of falsifying business records in a scheme to influence the 2016 election, was elected President of the United States. This decision raises unprecedented legal questions about the impact of Trump’s presidency on his ongoing criminal case, as prosecutors and defense attorneys grapple with the potential implications of Trump’s new role on the proceedings.

Rudy Giuliani is facing a court hearing in New York City after failing to surrender his assets as part of a $148 million defamation judgment against him. The court ordered Giuliani to surrender possessions including his Manhattan apartment, a Mercedes, and various valuables, but lawyers for the plaintiffs discovered his apartment had been emptied weeks prior to the deadline. Giuliani’s legal team has argued unsuccessfully against surrendering his assets while appealing the judgment and claims the plaintiffs are engaging in intimidation tactics. The judge has rejected these claims and ordered Giuliani to appear in court to explain his actions.

I can’t help but shake my head at the audacity of Trump’s codefendants who now claim they had ‘no clue’ about what was in the boxes of classified documents they were moving. It seems like a weak attempt to dodge the consequences of their actions by feigning ignorance. The truth is, they were complicit in these shady dealings, whether they want to admit it or not.
The fact that they are now desperately trying to get out of the classified documents case by playing dumb is just laughable. If you’re asked to move highly sensitive documents in a secretive manner and told to keep quiet about it, common sense would dictate that something fishy is going on.… Continue reading
Donald Trump’s appeal for a stay of trial has been bluntly denied by the judge overseeing the case. The former president, known for his relentless attempts to delay and obstruct legal proceedings, is now facing the harsh reality of being treated like any other defendant. Trump’s accusations of bias against the judge due to his daughter’s political affiliations have fallen on deaf ears, as the judge has stood firm in his decision.
It’s clear that Trump’s efforts to manipulate the legal system to his advantage are failing miserably. Despite his claims of unfair treatment and attempts to recuse the judge, the reality of facing the consequences of his alleged crimes is finally catching up to him.… Continue reading
Letitia James nears green light to start taking Donald Trump’s assets. The anticipation builds, the hope surges, and yet, time and time again, we find ourselves in a never-ending cycle of waiting for justice to be served. It’s like watching a scene from a movie where the hero is running towards the final showdown, and yet, the climax remains just out of reach.
The legal dance continues, with attorneys speculating on the potential outcomes, the possible appeals, and the constant delays that seem to prolong the inevitable. The bond, the paperwork, the deadlines – all contributing factors to a process that feels mired in bureaucracy and legal maneuvering.… Continue reading
I am beyond frustrated at the latest development in the ongoing legal saga of Donald Trump, the man who seems to have more lives than a cat when it comes to facing accountability for his actions. The recent ruling allowing Trump to post a smaller bond in a civil fraud case is just another example of how the wealthy and powerful receive preferential treatment in our justice system. Despite claims of having $500 million, he was given a reprieve by the appeals court, with the bond amount being reduced to $175 million and an extension of 10 days to pay. It’s ridiculous how this man continues to evade the consequences of his actions time and time again.… Continue reading
Nikki Haley’s recent call for all Trump legal cases to be ‘dealt with’ before November has sparked a lot of debate and controversy. As I reflect on this issue, it becomes clear to me that there are deep layers to unpack here. Haley’s statement brings to light the urgent need for resolution and clarity regarding Trump’s legal troubles.
The fact that Trump’s legal cases are still lingering in the background is concerning, to say the least. It raises questions about accountability, justice, and the integrity of our democracy. Haley’s insistence on addressing these legal matters before the election is not just a political move; it is a call for transparency and honesty in our electoral process.… Continue reading
Trump’s latest excuse for not being able to put up a bond in his E. Jean Carroll case is both laughable and predictable. His lawyers argue that his extreme wealth should be security enough that he will eventually pay, but if that were truly the case, why the reluctance to post the bond now? The fact that he has to go through such lengths to avoid financial obligations speaks volumes about his character and integrity, or lack thereof.
It’s amusing to see Trump trying to play the victim card, claiming that he is being unfairly targeted. This is a man who has a long history of refusing to pay his bills and debts, yet now he expects special treatment because of his alleged wealth.… Continue reading
Aileen Cannon might actually get herself kicked off the Trump classified docs case. The mere thought of this possibility brings a mix of hope and skepticism. Many are fervently wishing for this outcome, seeing it as a chance for justice to prevail. The arguments against her involvement in the case are strong and compelling. The potential risks of real-world harm and witness intimidation are not to be taken lightly, especially given the high-stakes nature of this particular case.
We find ourselves in a situation where the handling of classified documents and the prospect of witness intimidation are looming large. The idea that a judge appointed by the President could oversee a case involving said President seems inherently flawed.… Continue reading
