Trump Promises To Release US Capitol Rioters If Reelected

March 12, 2024March 12, 2024 - by Lovina - Leave a Comment

On Monday, Donald Trump promised to release individuals imprisoned for their involvement in the 2021 assault on the US Capitol as a priority if he were to be reelected, referring to them as “hostages.” The individuals who participated in the riot, incited by the former president and driven by his baseless allegations of voter fraud, breached the heart of US democracy on January 6, 2021, in an attempt to impede the transition of power to Joe Biden. Around 1,358 defendants have been charged in the 38 months since then, according to the latest figures from the Justice Department released last week. About 500 have been sentenced to prison terms. Trump posted the comments on his Truth Social website, additionally promising to shut down the border with Mexico as part of his first acts if reelected, without providing details. “My first acts as your next President will be to Close the Border, DRILL, BABY, DRILL, and Free the January 6 Hostages being wrongfully imprisoned!” he wrote late Monday. Trump has made previous comments about his hypothetical first day in office, vowing …

…. Drops Out of US Presidential Race, Global By Ogechi Okorie Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed front-runner Donald Trump on Sunday, two days before the New Hampshire primary. “If there was anything I could do to produce a favorable outcome — more campaign stops, more interviews — I would do it, but I can’t ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources if we don’t have a clear path to victory,” DeSantis said in a Sunday social media post. “Accordingly, I am today suspending my campaign.” “Trump is superior to the current incumbent Joe Biden. That is clear,” DeSantis said. “I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee and I will honor that pledge. He has my endorsement because we can’t go back to the old Republican Guard of yesteryear, a repackaged form of warmed over corporatism that Nikki Haley represents.” Despite claiming a victory at the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 15 where he edged out former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley for second place, DeSantis has severely lagged …

Donald Trump Appeals Sexual Abuse verdict as Accuser Considers Suing him a third time

May 12, 2023May 12, 2023 - by Editor - Leave a Comment

Former US President Donald Trump is appealing after a New York jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming a writer who now says she might sue him for the third time. Trump’s lawyers filed a notice of appeal in the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday afternoon, May 11, less than 48 hours after a Manhattan jury awarded $5million to columnist E Jean Carroll. Carroll claimed that Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in New York in the mid-1990s. Jurors on Tuesday found Trump guilty, ordering him to pay roughly $2million in damages to Carroll for civil battery, and nearly $3million for her successfully proving that he defamed her by calling her case ‘a complete con job’ and ‘a Hoax and a lie’. Trump’s team filed the appeal on the same day that Carroll said she may sue Trump a third time, after he made disparaging comments about her in a Wednesday night CNN town hall. The ex-president in the televised town hall mocked Carroll as a ‘whack job’ and called the case …

Former U.S President Donald Trump found guilty of sexually abusing writer

May 10, 2023May 10, 2023 - by Lovina - Leave a Comment

On Tuesday, May 9, a New York jury held former US President Donald Trump guilty of sexually assaulting and defaming American former magazine writer E Jean Carroll in the 1990s. Carroll accused the former US president of sexually assaulting her in a department shop in New York City in the middle of the 1990s, and he later discredited her by calling the memoir she wrote in 2019 about the incident a “con job.” However, the nine-member panel that gave Ms. Carroll a $5 million award in compensation and punitive damages ruled that the former president did not rape her. The jury determined that Carroll proved her sexual abuse case by a preponderance of the evidence and awarded her $2 million. The six men and three women on the jury also said Trump should pay Carroll nearly $3 million for defamation. The judgment is a huge blow to the 76-year-old’s campaign to retake the White House in 2024. The writer held hands with her lawyers as the verdict was read on Tuesday. She left the courthouse smiling and wearing sunglasses, before entering a …

Biden secures 100th US Judge Blunting Trump’s Impact On Bench

February 15, 2023February 15, 2023 - by Editor - Leave a Comment

The US Senate on Tuesday confirmed the 100th federal judge appointed by Joe Biden, as the president attempts to dilute the impact his predecessor Donald Trump had on the courts. Under the US Constitution, presidents appoint Supreme Court justices and federal judges for life, with Congress’ upper chamber confirming or rejecting the nominee. In theory, judges are politically impartial, but their previous decisions and the president who appointed them generally shed some light on their beliefs and leanings. Gina Mendez-Miro, a 49-year-old lawyer, became the latest judge confirmed to the US Federal Court for the District of Puerto Rico, after a 54-45 vote Tuesday in the Senate. Because Democrats have controlled the Senate throughout Biden’s presidency, he has been able to vet nominees like Mendez-Miro at an accelerated pace. In an effort to increase diversity in the judiciary, Biden has put forth candidates with traditionally underrepresented backgrounds: three quarters have been women and only one-third have been white, according to the American Constitution Society. He additionally nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to the US Supreme Court, marking the first time a …

US: Trump set to launch new White House bid, his party licks its wounds

November 15, 2022 - by Lovina - Leave a Comment

Donald Trump is set to launch a fresh White House bid on Tuesday, hoping to box out potential Republican rivals and return his false claims of election fraud to the center of U.S. politics. Trump’s announcement, scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (0200 GMT on Wednesday) at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, follows a disappointing showing in last week’s midterm congressional elections that many Republicans blame on him The unusually early launch may well be aimed at fending off potential challengers for the party’s nomination in 2024, including rising star Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, 44, and Trump’s own former vice president, Mike Pence, 63. Sources close to Trump, 76, said he planned to push ahead despite mixed results from his endorsements this year, with losses by celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania and Don Bolduc in New Hampshire contributing to Republicans’ failure to win a majority in the U.S. Senate. Another Trump-picked candidate, former football star Herschel Walker, was forced into a Dec. 6 runoff in his Georgia race against Democratic U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock. That has raised some …

Trump Records Case: Judge Plans To Appoint Special Master

August 28, 2022August 28, 2022 - by Editor - Leave a Comment

WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Florida told the Justice Department on Saturday to provide her with more specific information about the classified records removed from former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate and said it was her “preliminary intent” to appoint a special master in the case. The two-page order from U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon signals that she’s inclined to grant a request from Trump’s lawyers, who this week asked for the appointment of an independent special master to oversee the review the records taken from Mar-a-Lago and identify any that may be protected by executive privilege, and to ensure the return of any documents outside the scope of the search warrant. The judge scheduled a Thursday hearing to discuss the matter further, suggesting the Justice Department will have a chance to raise objections to the judge’s intentions. In other recent high-profile cases in which a special master has been appointed, the person has been a former judge. Cannon also directed the Justice Department to file under seal with her more detailed descriptions of the material taken from Trump’s estate …

The January 6 House select committee investigating the events of Jan. 6, 2021, revealed at Thursday’s primetime hearing unseen raw footage of President Donald Trump on the day of, and day after, the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol. Trump recorded and released a video message from the White House Rose Garden while the riot was underway on Capitol Hill, urging the mob to disperse and telling his supporters, “We love you.

We have to have law and order, we have to respect our great people in law and order.” The next day he recorded another video from inside the White House.

What Biden’s removal of Nigeria from Religious Violation Watchlist means, by Garba Shehu

The removal of Nigeria from the religious violators watchlist by the Biden-led US administration in the run-up to the visit of Anthony Blinken, the Secretary of State is a triumph of diplomacy and sagacity over hate-driven foreign policy, itself founded on false propaganda. President Muhammadu Buhari is truly satisfied with the decision by the United States to remove Nigeria from that unwanted list of countries. Blinken said the decision of the Joe Biden Government on this was “based on facts.” In expressing the country’s appreciation for this, the President noted that there is freedom of worship in Nigeria, and no one is discriminated against on the basis of his or her faith. Since Nigeria was included in December 2020, in the aftermath of the Donald Trump’s election loss, it has taken only 11 months for this decision to be reversed under the Biden administration. This sad and uncalled for ban came on the heels of 12 months of lies by some extremist groups and the banned terrorist group the Independent People of Biafra, IPOB’s well-funded international media campaign.

The immediate-past President of the United States, Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against his niece and the New York Times over a 2018 article that alleged he was involved in “dubious tax schemes”. The $100m lawsuit, filed in New York, accuses Mary Trump and the New York Times newspaper reporters of being “engaged in an insidious plot” to obtain confidential documents. The suit alleges that Ms Mary Trump, 56, breached a settlement agreement with the Trump family that barred her from disclosing the documents. Remember that after the Times released a story about Trump’s tax returns in 2019, Mary revealed herself as the source of the story in a tell-all memoir in 2020. Ms Trump is the daughter of Fred Trump Jr, the president’s older brother who died in 1981 at the age of 42. Trump has consistently rejected the claims made in his niece’s book – Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man – and unsuccessfully sued to try to block its publication in 2020.
