The Supreme Court rejects Trump’s attempt to lift a joke order on the money order
The Supreme Court declined the petition Donald Trumpthe agents would order the removal of the jest by order appointed by the president in the case of their money.
In short order, the court denied a request by Trump’s attorneys to be removed Samuel Alitoa member of the conservative supermajority.
John MerchantThe New York judge who presided over the trial that saw Trump convicted on 34 felony charges of business fraud imposed a gag order in March that now prevents the incoming president from making public statements about his accusers, associates and families. Here is more:
In a weekend interview with NBC News where he said the 6 members were in custody before January, Donald Trump made it clear that he had promised to pardon those accused of the attack on the Capitol. Here’s more, from The Guardian Michael Sainato:
In his first sit-down television news conference since winning his second presidential election in November, Donald Trump renewed promises to pardon his supporters in the Capitol in early 2011.
Likewise, he doubled down on the promises of mass deportations and taxes on the church conversation with NBC’s Meet the Press host, Kristen Welker – the latter of which acknowledged that Americans could do more to pay after voter complaints about higher prices to bring back the White House at the expense of the Vice President. Kamala Harris.
“I’m going to do it very quickly. On the first day,” Trump said in an interview, claiming that the convicted attackers of the Capitol were put through a “dirty system.”
“I know the reason,” said Trump, who in May was convicted by New York state prosecutors of falsifying business records to conceal payments to adult film actor Stormy Daniels. “It’s a very corrupt system.”
Trump said that exceptions to his pardons could be made over an . to attack the Capitol That meant keeping him in the Oval Office, losing the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden – and that has been linked to many deaths, including the killing of traumatized law enforcement officers. He has previously debunked claims the anti-Trump law is infiltrating his supporters’ ranks and driving the attack.
Yesterday on CNN, a Republican senator Markwayne Mullin He was asked his thoughts on Donald Trump’s comments about prosecuting members of the January 6 commission.
He said the investigation was now warranted by a house arrest investigation, and Trump has questioned claims that he has destroyed evidence, but has stopped short of calling gang members. “I don’t think there’s any reason to be afraid right now,” Mullin said. He continues:
I think that the investigation should be looked into, if the criminal activity that took place since the 6th of February. There were a lot of questions that didn’t get answered. There was a lot of information that was lost. Why did they lose? Why not? Why don’t they allow people to testify a lot, or to publish their testimony? If the American people want to know, maybe we’ll do another hearing.
Adam Schiff, the senator-elect of California, who before the 6th of February in the election of his time in the House, answered the call of Donald Trump to his prison.
Writing in X *Schiff said;
When Trump had broken his oath, I stood up to him. When they tried to overturn the 2020 election, the January 6th Committee stood in defense of our democracy. We will not be deterred by threats of imprisonment. Nothing will stop me from doing my duty to the American people.
Liz Cheney says Trump ‘lied about the January 6 Select Committee’
In his interview with NBC News, Donald Trump He said he “erased and destroyed all documents” of the January 6 election, before asserting that he was not responsible for the violent attack on the Capitol.
“And Cheney was after him. And so it was [Democratic chair] Bennie Thompson and everyone on that committee. For what they honestly did, they should go to jail,” Trump said.
A decision about the report and its evidence remains publicly availableand Liz CheneyA former Republican congressman who served as the body’s vice chair claimed that Trump did not tell the truth about his job:
This morning, President-designate Trump lied again about the January 6th Select Committee, and said Committee members ‘go to jail’ for fulfilling our constitutional duties. Here’s the truth: Donald Trump tried to subvert the 2020 presidential election and seize power. He rallied an angry mob and sent them into the United States Capitol, where police officers stormed the building and stopped election officials. Trump watched on television as police officers were brutally beaten and the Capitol was attacked, refusing to leave the crowd for hours. This was the worst violation of our Constitution by any president in the history of our nation. Donald Trump suggests that members of Congress, who later investigated the illegal and unconstitutional actions included, are a continuation of his attack on the rule of law and the foundations of our country.
Donald Trump knows his claims about the election of the selectmen are ridiculous and false, as has been explained extensively, including by President Thompson in this July 2023 letter. A lawyer who tries to pursue this course will quickly find himself embroiled in moral sanctions.
