Alvin Bragg, the District Attorney of Manhattan, has requested a 30-day postponement in the hush-money case against Donald Trump from the judge, which comes just 11 days before the scheduled start of jury selection.
Last Thursday, Mr. Bragg requested that Judge Juan Merchan delay the trial in order for prosecutors to go over approximately 31,000 pages of additional documents that were submitted on Wednesday.
“After conducting an initial examination of yesterday’s production, it appears that the records contain content relevant to this case, including materials that the People had requested from the USAO over a year ago and were previously denied by the USAO,” stated Mr. Bragg.
Today in Fort Pierce, Florida, the ex-president was at the court attempting to dismiss the criminal case against him regarding supposed mishandling of confidential documents.
Judge Aileen Cannon appeared sceptical about the defence arguments suggesting they were more appropriate questions for a jury. She promised to rule promptly and did so in one motion.
Mr. Trump had a small success in his Georgia election tampering case as Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee dismissed some accusations from the original indictment.
Bill Maher provides suggestions to Trump on how he can cover his legal expenses.
According to Martha McHardy,
Trump restates his accusation that Hillary Clinton utilized acid to erase her emails.
Donald Trump restated his unproven accusation that Hillary Clinton utilized acid testing and other methods to delete emails from her work server. He made this accusation a major point in the 2016 presidential race, ultimately defeating his Democratic opponent, the former US secretary of state, and winning the presidency. Eight years later, Mr Trump reiterated these claims in an interview with Newsmax. He stated, “What she did was unbelievable, and she faced no consequences.” However, after a lengthy FBI investigation, it was determined that there was no classified information or emails on Ms Clinton’s server.
Prosecutors claim that a group of supporters assisted fugitives in evading capture following the riot at the Capitol.
In a recent court filing, prosecutors stated that a man from Florida who was charged with obstructing law enforcement during the January 6th siege at the U.S. Capitol is linked to a group of individuals who have aided other defendants in evading arrest by the FBI.
A judge in the federal court ruled on Thursday for the release of Thomas Paul Osborne from a jail in Florida as he awaits trial. Osborne has been charged with grabbing a police officer’s baton during a mob’s assault on the Capitol. The Justice Department prosecutor, before the court’s decision, stated that Osborne may try to escape, considering his arrest on February 22.
Prosecutors stated that Christopher Worrell, a defendant from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and a member of the Proud Boys extremist group, was harbored by Osborne at his home in Lakeland, Florida for approximately six weeks. Worrell had previously been convicted of assaulting police with pepper spray during the riot and had disappeared before being found at Osborne’s residence.
The prosecution team mentioned Osborne’s connection to the Pollock family, including Jonathan and Olivia Pollock. The Pollock siblings, from Lakeland, were labeled as fugitives after being charged with crimes related to the Capitol riot. Osborne accompanied the Pollocks and their parents to Washington, D.C. to attend former President Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally near the White House on January 6th.
In January 2024, the FBI apprehended the Pollocks and a third wanted individual, Joseph Hutchinson, at a ranch in Groveland, Florida. Jonathan Pollock had evaded capture for more than two years. Olivia Pollock and Hutchinson had been fugitives for around 10 months after manipulating their mandated GPS trackers.
Donald Trump blames the Manhattan district attorney for the delay in his trial.
The former president announced on Truth Social tonight that his approach in criminal cases is to prolong proceedings as much as possible.
The events that occurred at the Manhattan D.A.’s office, along with the involvement of the DOJ officials assigned to target Trump, are truly remarkable. They unlawfully withheld a large number of documents. Then there is the highly questionable situation with “Pomerantz,” which is unprecedented. It will make the actions of Fani and her partner seem insignificant in comparison!
Before, Steven Cheung, the director of communication for his campaign, stated:
The President and his advisors have continually maintained that this lawsuit is unfounded and should be thrown out. After admitting to serious negligence in investigating the case, the Manhattan District Attorney has agreed to postpone the proceedings. We will persist in our efforts to put an end to this deceitful scheme and all other malicious attacks orchestrated by Corrupt Joe Biden.

Trump continues to reference the Presidential Records Act in regards to classified documents, but what are its provisions?

Trial involving sensitive government documents: Judge raises concerns about Trump’s efforts to dismiss MAGA group lawsuit.
Alex Woodward reports:
The ex-president accompanied his lawyers into a federal court in Florida for a hearing regarding two motions to dismiss the lawsuit. They claimed that the charges against him for violating the Espionage Act are too ambiguous and that the Presidential Records Act provides immunity against prosecution.
During the hearing in Fort Pierce on Thursday, US District Judge Aileen Cannon expressed skepticism towards Mr Trump’s arguments but did not make a ruling.

A Trump-appointed judge has dismissed the former President’s initial effort to dismiss the ongoing lawsuit against him and his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Alex Woodward reports:
She stated that the resolution of the question presented by the defense is heavily dependent on the disputed interpretation of statutory terms and phrases, as well as some factual discrepancies raised in the motion.

Judge Cannon has rejected Trump’s request to dismiss the case involving classified documents due to alleged unconstitutionally vague reasoning.
After pledging to make a quick decision, Judge Aileen Cannon denied the initial request from Donald Trump to dismiss the federal case filed against him by Special Counsel Jack Smith for handling classified documents. This came just over an hour after the hearing concluded.
The judge rejected the request regarding the laws’ “unconstitutional vagueness” that formed the basis of charges against the former president.
President Trump lodged a grievance about the legal terms “unauthorized possession,” “relating to the national defense,” and “entitled to receive,” stating that they are excessively unclear when applied in the given circumstances, which violates the principles of due process and leniency.
Judge Cannon writes:
“Despite the various valid arguments brought forth, the Court has determined that the final decision cannot be made due to the heavily debated definitions of statutory terms used as well as factual discrepancies brought up during the oral argument. Therefore, instead of making a hasty decision on whether 18 U.S.C. § 793(e) is too ambiguous in these circumstances, the Court has chosen to reject the Motion for the time being. It may be reconsidered during jury instruction discussions or other relevant motions.”

Trump shared a TikTok rant in all caps, accusing Facebook of meddling in the election.
Donald Trump has once more inserted himself into the discussion surrounding TikTok, this time by criticizing Facebook.
It can be argued that TikTok poses less of a threat to the United States than Meta (Facebook!), which is considered an actual enemy of the people. Meta spent $500 million in efforts against me and the Republican Party, utilizing tactics such as “lockboxing”, which should not have been allowed. In comparison, TikTok did not engage in such actions. Similar to the dubiousness of Joe Biden, Facebook poses a significant danger to democracy and will only continue to grow and become stronger if TikTok is eliminated. Perhaps both platforms should be held accountable and the money allowed to be spent on politics, as well as the use of lockboxes, should be restricted by Meta/Facebook.
