We will continue to follow the facts without fear or favor.” In papers filed Monday in a state appeals court, Trump’s lawyers said Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron failed to properly weigh constitutional and ethical concerns that they’d raised about New York Attorney General Letitia James’ investigation. NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers say a New York judge abused his discretion with a decision last month requiring him to answer questions under oath in a civil investigation into his business practices.

But US judge finds New Mexico county official Couy Griffin not guilty of disorderly conduct during January 6, 2021 riot.

Pence remained in the loading dock location for four to five hours, until the joint session of Congress resumed on the night of January 6, Hawa testified. But the case against him is unlike most January 6 cases and may not be a bellwether for defendants who are charged with storming the Capitol. Their first witness was Matthew Struck, who joined Griffin at the Capitol and served as his videographer. Prosecutors did not give opening statements. “I love the smell of napalm in the air,” Griffin said in an apparent reference to a quote from the war movie Apocalypse Now. Defence lawyer Nicholas Smith said the case against Griffin was “built on a series of false assumptions and premises” and argued that trial testimony showed Griffin went to the Capitol to support “free and fair elections”.

I was interested to read Marc Racicot’s March 17 op-ed, “ Trump is wasting our time.” I agree that former president Donald Trump’s expressions of admiration for the Russian president’s tactics invading Ukraine are beyond the pale.

He's ramping up his rallies and has launched a social media network, but how serious is the former President about a 2024 re-election campaign?

In Georgia, a grand jury is probing Trump’s attempts to sway the results of the 2020 election and interfere with the counting of the votes. Ruffini and his colleagues have asked Republican voters whether they are primarily loyal to Trump or the Republican Party. Just before the 2020 elections, 59 percent of Republican voters said they were primarily a supporter of Donald Trump, not the party. For all that the first year of Trump’s post-presidency has demonstrated the resilience of the Trump brand, there are some signs that his primacy in the Republican party isn’t as unassailable as it once was. The early signs certainly suggest that the Trump seal of approval is not the guarantee of victory it once was. For the former president’s critics, the wait is an uncomfortable one. For now, the Republican Party, and the country, is stuck in an awkward twilight zone, with Trump neither gone nor unequivocally back. But those who hoped that the 2020 election would mean Trump’s retirement from American public life have been disappointed: the year since he left office has been filled with campaign events in all but name and Mar-a-Lago, the former president’s Florida home and private country club, is a hive of political activity, with Republican politicians making the pilgrimage in search of an endorsement. The big unknown is whether Trump, who will be 78 at the time of the next election, actually wants to run again. Trump’s involvement has persuaded investors to put billions behind the idea and Truth Social promises to be a “platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology.” The challenge, of course, will be to persuade anyone other than pro-Trump conservatives to sign up. Whether or not Truth Social manages to establish a foothold as a viable social network, its launch is an interesting moment in Trump’s singular and unlikely political journey. The possibility of a Trump second bid might sound far-fetched. But the hints are getting less and less subtle.
