President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/whoopi-balks-at-joke-about-taylor-swift-doing-more-for-the-economy-than-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> told a story at a Manhattan campaign event, appearing completely oblivious to the fact that — just moments earlier — he had told the exact same story, almost word for word.
The story was one <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fox-biz-reporter-how-many-people-coming-into-this-country-illegally-is-enough-for-president-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden</a> has told numerous times in the past — about the 2017 riot in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-biden-doubles-down-lie-after-being-ryan-saavedra" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charlottesville</a> and how it had ultimately proved to be the inspiration behind Biden&#8217;s 2020 presidential run.

The White House press pool report addressed the issue, stating, &#8220;After briefly touting his economic record, POTUS reflected on his decision to seek the presidency. He told the story about the events of Charlottesville in 2017 as the reason for his campaign. A few minutes later, he told the story again, nearly word for word.&#8221;
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/09/21/biden-repeats-same-story-word-for-word-and-minutes-apart-raising-fresh-concerns-about-age-fitness-for-office/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">elaborated</a> on the event, hosted by real estate heiress and billionaire Amy Goldman Fowler, during which Biden apparently joked about being happily retired before the events of 2017 transpired.
&#8220;You remember those folks walking out of the fields literally carrying torches, with Nazi swastikas, holding them forward, singing the same vicious, antisemitic bile — the same exact bile — bile that was sung in — in Germany in the early ‘30s. And a young woman was killed. A young woman was killed,&#8221; Biden began, before pivoting to former President Donald Trump and the oft-repeated lie that Trump had called Neo-Nazis and white supremacists &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-even-cnns-tapper-admits-trump-didnt-call-neo-ryan-saavedra" target="_blank" rel="noopener">very fine people</a>.&#8221;
&#8220;The former guy [then-President Donald Trump] was asked, ‘What do you think would happen?’ He was the sitting president. And he said, &#8216;I thought there were some very fine people on both sides.&#8217; And I mean this sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, that’s when I decided I — I was going to run again,&#8221; he said.

According to the Post, Biden then began to talk about how his own family members had rallied behind him and supported his decision — and then he began to tell the exact same story again, almost verbatim.
&#8220;You know, you may remember that, you know, those folks from Charlottesville, as they came out of the fields and carrying those swastikas, and remember the ones with the torches and the Ku — accompanied by the Ku Klux Klan. And in addition to that, they had — there were white supremacists. Anyway, they were making the big case about how terrible this was. And a young woman was killed in the process,&#8221; Biden said.
&#8220;And my predecessor, as I said, was asked what he thought. He said, &#8216;There are some very fine people on both sides.&#8217; Well, that kept ringing in my head,&#8221; Biden continued, adding, &#8220;And so, I couldn’t, quite frankly, remain silent any longer. So, I decided I would run. And it became — I ran because I thought everything this country stood for was up for grabs for the first time in my career.&#8221;

Former Attorney General Edwin Meese slammed the prosecution of former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> and former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/georgia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgia</a> as a historic “affront” to federal constitutional authority.
Meese, 91, who headed up the DOJ under Ronald Reagan, <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/major-affront-to-federal-supremacy-in-rico-case-reagan-era-attorney-general-goes-to-bat-for-doj-lawyer-trump-enlisted-to-help-overturn-2020-election/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">condemned</a> the prosecution of Trump and Clark in a declarative filing to U.S. District Judge Steve Jones, saying that the case made by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was unprecedented. Jones has been overseeing challenges to the prosecution of Trump and his allies for their alleged crimes in Georgia after the 2020 election. 
“I am not aware of any state criminal prosecution ever being brought against a President and a senior Justice Department official like Mr. Clark for their privileged and confidential discussions of whether and how to assert federal law enforcement authority other than this new State of Georgia v. Trump, et al. Indictment,” Meese <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.gand.319419/gov.uscourts.gand.319419.48.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> last week. 
“The prosecution of the President and [Clark] is a major affront to federal supremacy never before seen in the history of our country. If the premise of this prosecution were to be accepted, then state law enforcement officials could arrest local U.S. Attorneys and their Assistants while they were deliberating over whether and/or how to approach a possible prosecution of state or local officials,” he added. 
Meese was referring the the “Supremacy Clause” of the Constitution, which <a href="https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says</a> that the Constitution and subsequent laws passed under the authority of the U.S. “shall be the supreme Law of the Land.”
The filing pointed back to the Civil Rights era, when state and federal authorities conflicted over civil rights legislation. Meese said that, under Fulton County’s interpretation, state or local authorities could “enter the Oval Office and arrest the President and his Attorney General during their deliberations over whether and to what extent to assert federal law enforcement powers against state or local officials.”
“Not even George Wallace or Orval Faubus, during the heights of the heated civil rights-era disputes, were willing to go that far against President Kennedy and his Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy,” Meese wrote.

Clark is <a href="https://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2023/08/CRIMINAL-INDICTMENT-Trump-Fulton-County-GA.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charged</a> with one count of violating Georgia’s RICO Act and one count of criminal attempt to commit false statements and writings. The charges stem from when Clark was at the DOJ and he drafted a document he hoped to send to Georgia officials saying that the DOJ had “identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election in multiple States, including the State of Georgia.”
Clark has <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-georgia-election-indictment-jeffrey-clark-4c7a2dfaa096033940d617bd2b7f1c88" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that he was acting within his official duties, but has been accused of promoting false statements. He says he and officials at the DOJ disagreed over the 2020 election. Meese agreed with Clark, saying that he was acting within his official prerogatives.

Gen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mark-milley">Mark Milley</a>, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he did not receive any &#8220;illegal&#8221; orders after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2020-election">2020 election</a>.
Martha Raddatz, anchor of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week,&#8221; noted that <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/07/15/joint-chiefs-staff-planned-stop-trump-coup-over-election-claims/7975643002/">reports</a> &#8220;abounded&#8221; saying that Milley worried former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> might try to use the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/military">military</a> to stay in power.
&#8220;Were you concerned at any time that you might receive an illegal order after Election Day?&#8221; she asked the general <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYFr5JgVvhc">in an interview that aired on Sunday</a>.
&#8220;I never did receive an illegal order,&#8221; Milley responded. Pressed again if he was at least concerned about it, the top military official added, &#8220;No, you know, I argued the case at various times for alternative courses of action. Never received an illegal order.&#8221;
Reports about Milley and other military officials fearing that Trump might attempt a coup date back more than two years.
At the time, Trump fired back with a statement that said, &#8220;If I was going to do a coup, one of the last people I would want to do it with is General Mark Milley.&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/15/mark-milley-feared-coup-after-trump-lost-to-biden-book.html">He also said</a>, &#8220;I&#8217;m not into coups!&#8221;
Trump is now <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/latest-2024-presidential-polling-trump-rises-above-biden-again">running a 2024 campaign</a> seeking another term in the White House, possibly leading to a 2020 rematch against President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a>. Trump is doing so while facing indictments in four criminal cases, including two focused on alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The former president has denied any wrongdoing, pleaded not guilty to the charges he faces, and claims that politically motivated prosecutors are conducting a “witch hunt” against him.
Milley, who is set to retire in the coming weeks as his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joint-chiefs-nominee-knocks-tubervilles-hold-on-military-promotions">term as chairman</a> of the Joint Chiefs of Staff comes to an end, also said in his interview with ABC that he is not concerned about the prospect of another January 6.
&#8220;No, I&#8217;m not nervous about it,&#8221; Milley said, adding later, &#8220;I don&#8217;t get nervous about a lot of things. I&#8217;ve seen a lot of combat. So I&#8217;m beyond that actually.&#8221;
Pressed on his level of confidence, Milley added, &#8220;I am confident that the United States and the democracy in this country will prevail and the rule of law will prevail. I&#8217;m absolutely confident of that. And these institutions are built to be strong, resilient, and to adapt to the times, and I&#8217;m 100 percent confident we&#8217;ll be fine.&#8221;

A producer for ABC said a judge&#8217;s ruling that severed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>&#8216;s trial in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/georgia">Georgia</a> 2020 election case from that of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-wont-stand-trial-in-october-over-alleged-2020-georgia-election-interference-judge-rules">two co-defendants</a> is a &#8220;big win&#8221; for the former president.
John Stantucci, executive editorial producer for ABC News, said on Thursday the ruling was &#8220;bad&#8221; news for Fulton County District Attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fulton-county-prosecutors-have-another-recording-of-trump-pressuring-georgia-house-speaker-to-overturn-election-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fani Willis</a>, who <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4202401-willis-insists-trump-georgia-defendants-be-tried-together-despite-deeps-doubts/">sought</a> to have Trump and 18 others tried together in October.
&#8220;Fani Willis wasn&#8217;t there, but you gotta imagine, Diane, she&#8217;s throwing things against the wall based on this hearing,&#8221; Stantucci told the host. Having a &#8220;show this fall&#8221; followed by a &#8220;repeat performance next spring&#8221; makes it &#8220;incredibly difficult for prosecutors,&#8221; he added.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;A great win for Donald Trump and others that did not want to be part of this speedy trial case,&#8221; Stantucci continued. &#8220;I can tell you, sitting here with you, just texting with some of the attorneys involved in the other defendants — celebrating, &#8216;Yay, victory.&#8217; This is everything they wanted — was to take more time and slow this down.&#8221;
The producer said an &#8220;interesting&#8221; takeaway from the hearing with Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Thursday was the <a href="https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/georgia-hearing-chesebro/2023/09/14/id/1134466/">agreement</a> to reveal 30 unindicted co-conspirators to the legal teams representing Trump and the other defendants.
&#8220;It&#8217;s fascinating that you then saw prosecutors jump in, [saying], &#8216;Whoa whoa, wait a second. If you&#8217;re going to share this with everybody, give a <a href="https://twitter.com/KatiePhang/status/1702322986366500953">protective order</a>,'&#8221; Stantucci. &#8220;It&#8217;s duplicative to what we&#8217;ve seen in the other cases of the former president.&#8221;
The concern, Stantucci added, is the prospect of witness intimidation. &#8220;This case is obviously high-pressure, high-intensity, but just to see real quickly there even though the DA clearly lost,&#8221; prosecutors sought to ensure that identities would be protected, he said.
Trump and his co-defendants, who are accused of scheming to overturn the results of the 2020 election, have pleaded not guilty in the Georgia case. Trump has similarly denied wrongdoing in three other criminal cases, including a 2020 election case and separate documents case brought by special counsel Jack Smith. The former president claims <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fulton-da-responds-to-trump-attacks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">politically motivated forces</a> are targeting him in a &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; as he runs a 2024 campaign for another term in the White House.

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> won’t have to stand trial in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/georgia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgia</a> next month over his alleged 2020 presidential election interference after the judge overseeing the case separated two co-defendants in the case from the trial of Trump and 16 others. 
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-severs-17-defendants-including-trump-oct-23/story?id=103185589">pushed</a> for an October 23 start date for Trump and his 18 co-defendants, but Judge Scott McAfee said that rushing the trial could jeopardize the rights of each defendant. Trump&#8217;s trial will take place at a later, undetermined date. 
&#8220;The precarious ability of the Court to safeguard each defendant&#8217;s due process rights and preparation ensure adequate pretrial preparation on the current accelerated track weighs heavily, if not decisively, in favor of severance,&#8221; McAfee ordered. 
Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, lawyers who worked with Trump following the presidential election in Georgia, will go to court on October 23 after McAfee ruled to sever their trials. Chesebro <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/key-takeaways-from-trump-being-indicted-in-expansive-georgia-rico-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faces</a> seven charges, including two counts of first degree ​​conspiracy to commit forgery and two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings. Powell also faces seven charges, including two counts of conspiracy to commit election fraud. 
According to McAfee, there would be logistical problems with trying all 19 defendants at the same time, which Willis had wanted.
“The Fulton County Courthouse simply contains no courtroom adequately large enough to hold all 19 defendants, their multiple attorneys and support staff, the sheriff’s deputies, court personnel, and the State’s prosecutorial team,”  he said. 
The 19 co-defendants are facing a variety of charges, but all are charged with taking part in an alleged conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results under Georgia’s version of the federal RICO statute, an anti-racketeering law constructed to take down the mafia and other organized criminal enterprises.

Trump has pled not guilty to the 13 charges he is facing, and has <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-files-motions-dismiss-charges-georgia-case-rcna104538" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requested</a> that charges be thrown out, arguing that his actions were outside of the state’s authority to prosecute. 
The former president, and current Republican presidential primary frontrunner, has said that the charges in Georgia, like the others he faces in New York, Florida, and Washington, D.C., are politically motivated. After his arrest in Fulton County, Trump maintained his innocence, saying that his actions in Georgia were within his rights. 
“We did nothing wrong at all,” he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-makes-statement-after-arrest-in-fulton-county" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “And we have every right every single right to challenge an election that we think is dishonest. We think it’s very dishonest. So thank you all very much and I’ll see you very soon. Thank you very much.”

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and five other co-defendants named in the sweeping <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-trump-staffer-mark-meadows-asks-judge-to-block-arrest-in-georgia-election-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgia racketeering indictment</a> reportedly pleaded not guilty Tuesday and waived their in-person arraignment set for tomorrow.
&#8220;I fully understand the nature of the offenses charged and my right to appear at arraignment,&#8221; Meadows <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4187466-mark-meadows-pleads-not-guilty-in-georgia-election-interference-case-waives-arraignment/">wrote</a> in the court filing reported by The Hill. &#8220;Understanding my rights, I do hereby freely and voluntarily waive my right to be present at my arraignment on the Indictment and my right to have it read to me in open court.&#8221;
Meadows and 18 other co-defendants are named in former President Donald Trump&#8217;s fourth indictment following a criminal investigation into the former president&#8217;s alleged efforts to overturn the state&#8217;s 2020 presidential election results.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis pursued charging the individuals under Georgia&#8217;s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, which allows prosecutors to connect various crimes committed by multiple defendants and argue that they were working together toward a criminal goal — and were, therefore, part of a &#8220;criminal enterprise.&#8221;
Trump has broadly denied any wrongdoing and has claimed politically motivated forces are targeting him in a &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; propagated by the Biden administration and Democrat prosecutors in New York and Georgia.
Attorney John Eastman, ex-DOJ official Jeffrey Clark, Shawn Still, David Shafer, the former Georgia GOP chair, and Cathy Latham, a member of the Georgia Republican Party&#8217;s executive committee, also pleaded not guilty, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/mark-meadows-5-defendants-georgia-election-case-plead/story?id=102928940">according</a> to ABC News.
Clark&#8217;s attorney reportedly said in a filing that the charges against his client were an &#8220;unconstitutional attempt, as to Mr. Clark, to penetrate into the sanctums of the superior federal government&#8217;s Justice Department, as well as of the Office of the President of the United States at the White House.&#8221;
&#8220;The Indictment is also an unconstitutional affront to the powers of the President, who is the sole head of the unitary executive branch,&#8221; Clark&#8217;s filing states.

Clark and Meadows are two of five defendants requesting to move their cases from state court into federal court.
All but one of the 19 defendants, including former President Donald Trump, named in the indictment have now pleaded not guilty in the case and waived their in-person arraignment.
According to reports, former Coffee County elections director Misty Hampton still has not entered a plea.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee set the date of September 6 for all 19 defendants to be arraigned on charges and enter their pleas in the case.

Two members of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/proud-boys" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Proud Boys</a> were sentenced to over 15 years in prison on Thursday on charges in connection with the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.
Joseph Biggs, a former group leader, received 17 years in federal prison — among the longest sentences handed down — after a Washington, D.C., jury convicted him of seditious conspiracy for attempting to forcibly prevent the peaceful transfer of presidential power and other charges.
&#8220;Our Constitution and laws give you so many important rights that Americans have fought and died for and that you yourself put on a uniform to defend,&#8221; District Judge Timothy Kelly <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/31/politics/proud-boys-biggs-sentencing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> said. &#8220;People around the world would give anything for these rights,&#8221; adding that the events on January 6 &#8220;broke our tradition of the peaceful transferring of power&#8221; in the United States.
&#8220;The nature of the constitutional moment we were in that day is something that is so sensitive that it deserves a significant sentence,&#8221; he said.
Biggs, a 38-year-old U.S. Army veteran of Ormond Beach, Florida, was convicted in May of seditious conspiracy; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of an official proceeding; conspiracy to use force, intimidation or threats to prevent officers of the U.S. from discharging their duties; interference with law enforcement during civil disorder; and destruction of government property.
During his sentencing hearing, he <a href="https://apnews.com/article/capitol-riot-proud-boys-sentencing-seditious-conspiracy-5c8bf8a8e5dc6381e7387e31e554cee6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> admitted that he &#8220;messed up&#8221; on January 6 while claiming he was &#8220;seduced by the crowd&#8221; to move forward at the nation&#8217;s Capitol.
&#8220;I know that I messed up that day, but I am not a terrorist,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/former-proud-boys-leaders-could-face-longest-sentences-yet-us-capitol-attack-2023-08-31/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
&#8220;I wanted to see what would happen,&#8221; he said. &#8220;My curiosity got the better of me, and I&#8217;ll have to live with that for the rest of my life.&#8221;

&#8220;I&#8217;m not a terrorist,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I don&#8217;t have hate in my heart.&#8221;
Another former leader of the Proud Boys was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Thursday.
Zachary Rehl received his sentencing after a federal jury <a href="https://themessenger.com/politics/proud-boy-zachary-rehl-sprayed-police-prison-seditious-conspiracy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> found him guilty of obstructing an official proceeding, conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, conspiring to use force to prevent federal officers from discharging their duties, interfering with law enforcement officers during a civil disorder, and destruction of federal property.
Rehl, a 38-year-old Marine from Philadelphia, reportedly committed perjury during the trial when he lied about assaulting police with a chemical spray. But video footage showed him spraying a chemical irritant at Capitol police officers.
During his hearing, he said he believed the politicians who &#8220;started spreading lies about the election,&#8221; adding that he &#8220;fell for it, hook, line and sinker.&#8221;
Rehl and Briggs went to trial alongside other Proud Boy members, including Enrique Tarrio, Ethan Nordean, and Dominic Pezzola. All but Pezzola were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Pezzola and Nordean will receive sentencing on Friday, and Tarrio on Tuesday.
According to The Associated Press, prosecutors have charged 1,129 people with Capitol riot-related federal crimes. Of those, at least 630 have pleaded guilty, and 110 have been convicted at trial.

Trump also moved to sever the case against him from any co-defendants who &#8220;have demanded a speedy trial,&#8221; a separate court filing said.
The filing said it &#8220;would violate President Trump&#8217;s federal and state constitutional rights to a fair trial and due process of law.&#8221;

Trump Pleads Not Guilty In Georgia RICO Case, Seeks To Sever Case From Co-Defendants Seeking Speedy Trial

A federal judge delivered on Wednesday a default judgment against former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, saying that the former New York City mayor is liable for defaming two Georgia election workers.
U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell wrote in a <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.238720/gov.uscourts.dcd.238720.94.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">57-page ruling</a> that Giuliani flagrantly violated her orders and failed to produce evidence related to his claims that election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea&#8217; ArShaye Moss mishandled ballots in the 2020 presidential election.
Howell, an appointee of President Barack Obama, ordered Giuliani to pay approximately $133,000 in sanctions for attorneys&#8217; fees for the plaintiffs in the civil conspiracy lawsuit.
&#8220;Just as taking shortcuts to win an election carries risks — even potential criminal liability — bypassing the discovery process carries serious sanctions, no matter what reservations a noncompliant party may try artificially to preserve for appeal,&#8221; Howell wrote.
Giuliani, who as a prosecutor effectively targeted the Mafia and as mayor cleaned up the city of New York before becoming an advisor to former President Donald Trump, is named in the sweeping racketeering indictment against Trump and 17 other co-defendants on charges related to an alleged conspiracy to subvert the 2020 election.
Charging documents claimed Giuliani alleged election fraud occurred in Georgia. Prosecutors have claimed he participated in a scheme to have 16 Georgia Republicans calling themselves the state’s “duly elected and qualified” electors and swear Trump had won the 2020 presidential election.
Giuliani accused Freeman and Moss of manipulating ballots during Georgia&#8217;s vote-counting process in the presidential election. The indictment alleges in part that Giuliani made &#8220;false statements&#8221; to Georgia legislators related to the accusations on Freeman and Moss.
Freeman and Moss sued Giuliani and One America News Network in 2021 with claims of defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and civil conspiracy.

They wrote Giuliani&#8217;s claims &#8220;led to an immediate onslaught of violent and racist threats and harassment&#8221; that left them &#8220;afraid to live normal lives,&#8221; Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/08/30/rudy-giuliani-georgia-election-workers-defamation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. A judge later dismissed the network from the defamation lawsuit after the plaintiffs reached a settlement.
In a court filing last month, Giuliani conceded that he had made &#8220;false&#8221; statements about the election workers that were &#8220;defamatory per se,&#8221; <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/26/us/politics/giuliani-georgia-election-workers.html#:~:text=Giuliani%20has%20conceded%20that%20while,Atlanta%20during%20the%202020%20election." target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The New York Times.
Judge Howell ordered the case to proceed to trial to determine the further damages Giuliani could owe, which reportedly could amount to thousands if not millions of dollars. The judge also ordered Giuliani to submit financial documents and records related to revenue and viewership for his &#8220;Common Sense&#8221; podcast before September 20.
In response to the ruling, Giuliani&#8217;s political adviser Ted Goodman <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/giuliani-sanctioned-judge-defamation-case-brought-2-georgia/story?id=102723328" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> ABC News that the judge&#8217;s &#8220;57 page opinion on discovery — which would usually be no more than two or three pages — is a prime example of the weaponization of the justice system, where the process is the punishment.&#8221;
&#8220;This decision should be reversed,&#8221; Goodman added.
Last week, Giuliani made a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/giuliani-turns-himself-in-im-defending-the-rights-of-all-americans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> on before leaving for Georgia, where he surrendered at the Fulton County jail after being charged in the racketeering indictment.
“I’m going down to Georgia and I’m feeling very, very good about it because I feel like I’m defending the rights of all Americans as I did so many times as a United States attorney,” Giuliani stated. “People like to say I’m different; I’m the same Rudy Giuliani that took down the Mafia, that made New York City the safest city in America, reduced crime more than any mayor in the history of any city, anywhere. And I’m fighting for justice; I have been for the first moment I represented Donald Trump.”
Giuliani then echoed Trump’s claim that the targeting of Trump portended the federal government coming after the average citizen.
“Now whether you dislike or you like Donald Trump, let me give you a warning: they’re gonna come for you. When the political winds shift, as they always do, let us pray that Republicans are more honest, more trustworthy, and more American than these people in charge of this government. Because if our government is conducted this way, and the system of justice is politicized and criminalized for politics, your rights are in jeopardy and your children’s.”
“Donald Trump told you this: they weren’t just coming for him, or me,” Giuliani asserted. “Now they’ve indicted people, in this case I don’t even know who they are. These are just regular people making a normal living. They’re going to bankrupt them. They won’t convict them.”

Federal Judge Says Rudy Giuliani Liable For Defaming Georgia Election Workers, Sanctions Former NYC Mayor

Rudy Giuliani

On Monday, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/federal-judge-set-trump-trial-date-election-interference-case-rcna101669" target="_blank" rel="noopener">set an opening trial date</a> of March 4, 2024, for former President Donald J. Trump’s alleged crimes as part of his efforts to challenge the 2020 election results. That date is one day before Super Tuesday in the GOP Primary — earning the ire of many conservatives on social media. 
Chutkan heard arguments and requested dates from federal prosecutors and Trump&#8217;s attorneys Monday morning in Washington, D.C., but said neither side had suggested an appropriate date for the trial. The federal government wanted it to go to trial in January, while Trump’s team pushed for April 2026. 
&#8220;These proposals are obviously very far apart,&#8221; Chutkan said in court. &#8220;Neither of them is acceptable.”
According to NBC News, Chutkan dismissed the notion that the date should accommodate Trump&#8217;s third bid for the presidency. Chutkan reportedly said that the GOP frontrunner would have to prioritize his legal obligations in this case.
Meanwhile, Trump attorney John Lauro blasted the Special Counsel&#8217;s suggested date, saying that the federal government was running a &#8220;show trial, not a speedy trial.&#8221;
The former president&#8217;s legal team has also argued that an early 2024 date did not provide ample time to examine evidence during discovery.
“Discovery in 2023 is not sitting in a warehouse with boxes of paper looking at every single page,” Chutkan noted.
Earlier this month, Trump was officially indicted on a series of federal charges related to election interference, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction, and conspiracy against the right to vote and to have one’s vote counted. He also faces three other criminal cases.
Many notable figures on the Right argued the trial date set by Chutkan was &#8220;election interference.&#8221;
&#8220;Unfortunately, Tanya Chutkan delivered for the Biden regime yet again, while pretending she&#8217;s meeting both sides halfway,&#8221; Fox News host Mark Levin said. &#8220;March next year is a PREPOSTEROUS date to set for trial.&#8221;
&#8220;The DOJ has gone from strongly admonishing prosecutors not to interfere with elections, to doing everything possible to sabotage the Trump campaign and the presidential election,&#8221; he continued.
&#8220;Judge Chutkan is a political operative in a robe,&#8221; Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) posted on social media. &#8220;We should set her censure for a vote ASAP to expose this sham and restore our republic.&#8221;

Not all protestations were from conservatives. Law professor Jonathan Turley also voiced his concerns over the date.

Tanya Chutkan, Donald J. Trump

Federal Judge Sets Date For Trump’s Election Interference Trial One Day Before Super Tuesday

Federal Judge Sets Date For Trump's Election Interference Trial One Day Before Super Tuesday

Efforts to remove former President Donald Trump from state ballots in the 2024 election are ramping up nationwide after critics argued the leading Republican contender is constitutionally disqualified from serving as president after he &#8220;engaged in insurrection&#8221; against the United States.
Trump, who is leading the GOP primaries by a landslide, faces four separate indictments along the East Coast, including charges related to hush money, classified documents, election interference, and racketeering. Trump has broadly denied any wrongdoing in the charges brought against him and has claimed politically motivated forces are targeting him in a &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; propagated by the Biden administration and Democrat prosecutors.
But now opponents across the political spectrum of the former president are arguing that under the U.S. Constitution&#8217;s 14th Amendment, Trump is barred from holding office ever again after the January 6 Capitol attack.
Lawrence Caplan, a Florida tax attorney, became the first to challenge Trump&#8217;s candidacy for president in federal court last week, pointing to the Amendment&#8217;s &#8220;disqualification clause&#8221; that says those who &#8220;have engaged in insurrection or rebellion&#8221; against the government cannot hold office.
He <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4171623-florida-lawyer-files-challenge-to-disqualify-trump-from-2024-race-citing-14th-amendment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Hill that the former president&#8217;s grand jury indictments in the Washington, D.C., election interference federal case and the Georgia case stemming from alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election make his disqualification automatic, despite neither indictment accusing Trump of inciting the mob that attacked the Capitol.
&#8220;The bottom line here is that President Trump both engaged in an insurrection and also gave aid and comfort to other individuals who were engaging in such actions, within the clear meaning of those terms as defined in Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment,&#8221; Caplan wrote in a <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67724934/1/caplan-v-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filing</a> last week, challenging Trump&#8217;s eligibility to run for office again. &#8220;Assuming that the public record to date is accurate, and we have no evidence to the contrary, Trump is no longer eligible to seek the office of the President of the United States, or of any other state of the Union.&#8221;
The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1868 in the aftermath of the Civil War during the Reconstruction Era and was designed to represent a new birth of freedom for previously disenfranchised citizens, according to <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fourteenth_amendment_0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cornell University&#8217;s Legal Information Institute.</a> The Amendment&#8217;s &#8220;disqualification clause&#8221; was written to bar those who had joined the Confederacy from serving in state or federal office, but would &#8220;theoretically still apply&#8221; to those who engage in future rebellions or insurrections against the U.S.
Two legal professors and members of the conservative Federalist Society, William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen, endorsed the &#8220;self-executing&#8221; idea in the <a href="https://deliverypdf.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=351084105114074089068001113120119074037024090008032052023106011111104104092003067011059012033058039112110017080119106087084110103046069078020025010108082105098027007006042074017095015085115074083111095085028120001070124099112070021103069025007005017&amp;EXT=pdf&amp;INDEX=TRUE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania Law Review</a>, writing the clause &#8220;is alive and in force&#8221; and that if any government official &#8220;planned, supported, assisted, encouraged, endorsed, or aided in a material way those who engaged in the insurrection of January 6, or otherwise knowingly and willfully participated in a broader rebellion against the constitutional system, such persons are constitutionally disqualified from office.&#8221;
&#8220;In such situations, Section Three&#8217;s constitutional disqualifications can, should, and must be carried out,&#8221; Bode and Paulsen wrote.
Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said during the GOP presidential debate in Milwaukee last week that he would &#8220;not going to support somebody who&#8217;s been convicted of a serious felony or who is disqualified under our Constitution.&#8221;
Former conservative 4th Circuit Appeals Court Judge J. Michael Luttig and liberal Harvard legal scholar Laurence Tribe published an article last week in <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/08/donald-trump-constitutionally-prohibited-presidency/675048/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Atlantic</a> claiming Trump&#8217;s effort to allegedly remain in power after the 2020 election &#8220;place him squarely within the ambit of the disqualification clause.&#8221;
Two civil rights organizations — Mi Familia Vota and Free Speech for People — also launched campaigns in July to pressure state officials in Nevada, California, Oregon, Colorado, and Georgia to disqualify Trump from appearing on ballots in those states in 2024, according to <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4086124-activists-want-to-disqualify-trump-from-ballot-in-key-states-under-14th-amendment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill</a>.
And Bryant &#8220;Corky&#8221; Messner, a former New Hampshire U.S. Senate candidate in 2020 previously endorsed by Trump, announced plans to materialize the former president&#8217;s disqualification at the state level, ABC <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/18/trump-ballots-january-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
But despite the opposition from lawmakers, activists, and never-Trumpers, others warn against using the clause against the former president.
Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said the notion puts the Constitution in &#8220;grave danger.&#8221;
&#8220;It would put the decision about who the President is in the hands of local Secretaries of State and Democratic governors, instead of in the hands of the people,&#8221; Dershowitz <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/florida-lawyer-says-trump-cant-run-office-under-14th-amendment?utm_source=mux&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Just the News.
Constitutional law attorney and former Trump ally Jenna Ellis said in an <a href="https://twitter.com/JennaEllisEsq/status/1693987685558530491" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X-post</a>, &#8220;The Left is purposefully calling J6 an &#8216;insurrection&#8217; to justify a baseless 14th Amendment challenge.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s like baselessly calling election challenges on behalf of a campaign &#8220;racketeering&#8221; to justify a RICO charge,&#8221; Ellis, who is also named a co-conspirator in Trump&#8217;s Georgia indictment, said.
And Fox News host Mark Levin slammed Judge Tribe and Harvard legal scholar Luttig for writing &#8220;a self-humiliating piece&#8221; in the leftwing Atlantic Monthly claiming the constitutional clause stops Trump from being elected president.
&#8220;This has to be one of the truly dumbest essays ever written on the subject,&#8221; Levin said in an <a href="https://twitter.com/marklevinshow/status/1693742724879384584" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X-post</a>. &#8220;And it is something the Marxist left has been pushing for years against Trump. Trump aside, they are burning down one institution after another self-righteously claiming that they are standing up to tyranny and for the republic. I will address this on the air tonight.&#8221;
In April, Trump&#8217;s campaign team anticipated a wave of legal challenges thrown at the former president
&#8220;What these undemocratic organizations are doing is blatant election interference and tampering,&#8221; Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a <a class="zZyg UbGl iFzk qdXb WCDh DbOX tqUt " href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/18/trump-ballots-january-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-testid="prism-linkbase">statement to the Washington Post</a>. &#8220;They are not even trying to hide it anymore and it is sad they want to deprive the American people of choosing Donald Trump — the overwhelming front-runner by far — as their President.&#8221;
&#8220;History will not judge them kindly,&#8221; Cheung added.

Efforts To Remove Trump From 2024 Ballot Using 14th Amendment Ramp Up: Report

Bipartisan Efforts To Remove Trump From 2024 Ballot Under 14th Amendment Ramp Up: Report

Biden Administration

House Judiciary Chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jim-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim Jordan</a> announced in a Thursday letter an inquiry into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her investigation into former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> and the 2020 election. 
Jordan’s letter to Willis comes as Trump is set to arrive at a Fulton County jail on Thursday evening where he will get fingerprinted and possibly have his mugshot taken. Trump is facing 13 charges, including allegations of racketeering, for his actions in the aftermath of the 2020 election in Georgia.
“Your indictment and prosecution implicate substantial federal interests, and the circumstances surrounding your actions raise serious concerns about whether they are politically motivated,” Jordan <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2023-08-24-jdj-to-da-willis-re-trump-investigation.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.
&#8220;Turning first to the question of motivation, it is noteworthy that just four days before this indictment, you launched a new campaign fundraising website that highlighted your investigation into President Trump. Additionally, the forewoman of the special grand jury you convened to investigate President Trump earlier this year bragged during an unusual media tour about her excitement at the prospect of subpoenaing President Trump and getting to swear him in,” the letter said.
Jordan was referring to statements from grand jury foreman Emily Kohrs, who made <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-deranged-sounding-georgia-grand-jury-foreman-throws-election-case-against-trump-into-legal-jeopardy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">comments on CNN</a> that some legal experts said would complicate the case against Trump.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Jordan also wants to know if there was any coordination with special counsel Jack Smith, who has brought indictments against Trump in Washington, D.C., and in Florida.
“There are questions about whether and how your office coordinate with DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith during the course of this investigation, and Congress has an interest in any such activity that involves federal law enforcement agencies, and officials that fall under its oversight,” the letter said.

Trump is charged in the Georgia case along with 18 other co-defendants, including Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Jenna Ellis, and Sidney Powell, who have all turned themselves in for processing.
Eastman, a constitutional law expert and former legal adviser to Trump, warned on Tuesday that the case “will have — and is already having — profound consequences for our system of justice.”
“I am here today to surrender to an indictment that should never have been brought,” Eastman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-attorney-behind-2020-eastman-memo-gives-constitutional-smackdown-after-turning-himself-in" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told the press</a> after surrendering on Tuesday. “It represents a crossing of the Rubicon for our country, implicating the fundamental First Amendment right to petition the government for redress of grievances.”
Willis has requested that the trial against Trump begin as soon as October 23.
