Their case for them. New tension in Fulton County as Da Fani Willis Weighings the timing of a possible fourth donald trump against donald trump. Take a look at this House Collapsing into a river in alaska. Its just one result of recordbreaking b glacial flooding in juneau. The floodwaters forcing residents to flee and officials to declare a state of emergency. Thats one example of the Severe Weather hammering the country today. Well start with Donald Trumps legal team on the clock. They have just a few more hours to respond to the dojs request to restrict what the former president can publicly disclose about evidence. Special counsel jack smith made the request after trump wrote on social media, quote, if you go after me, im coming after you. Here is what trump attorney alina habba had to say about the request for the protective order. This is jack smith coming out as the victim here, saying its more him being afraid. The protective order in terms of witness testimony, exhibits, those
that all 15 are sitting together, and they will decide whether or not to strike down the legislation that weakens their own power to challenge the government. if they do strike it down, it would be the first time in israeli history that the court has struck down what s called a basic law. that is a semi sconce tushl law. when i spoke to prime minister netanyahu last week, he told me he hopes it does not come to that, that it does not reach a point where the supreme court is striking down basic laws. he says that would be comparable to the american supreme court striking down a u.s. constitutional amendment which, as i pointed out to him, is not really a fair comparison. u.s. constitutional amendments can only be made by consensus. two-thirds of the house, two-thirds of the senate, three-quarters of the state, where his legislation passed by a single majority. netanyahu would also not commit in explicit terms to abiding by the supreme court s decision which is causing a lot of
it s a violation of the constitution and the laws of the united states to try to put off proceedings it s not trump to pence, although it s kind of ironic, he did everything but put a gun to pence s head and really insight people to put him on the gallows. leaving that aside, what he did was agree to try to delay the proceedings. and also what he did was to try to actually change the phony electors. that s just against the law six ways to sunday. by the way, on his bravado, pence, because he is a sort of reluctant to go too strong against his former boss will be an effective witness. it will be clear he s telling the truth. he took contemporaneous notes, one of the few new details in this indictment. he s going to really kill them especially with some of the early conversations. no way around it. tara setmayer, thank you.
full-on offense of the truth here by surrogates, nothing the president of the united states should get involved, but he has plenty of surrogates, plenty of law scholars like harry litman and others who are out here speaking the truth, educating the american people. donald trump is counting on the fact that the american people aren t educated in what the court system works and what the law says. so far he s been successful with the rart. that s not the entire american populous or the voters in this country. they need to be informed about the truth. harry, trump s attorney john lauro was on all the major sunday shows yesterday. the crux of his argument seems to be that trump believed the election was fraudulent and he had won and he had reason to believe that because of what his lawyers were telling him or what he was hearing. here is what of that. the defense is quite simple, donald trump, president trump believed in his heart of hearts he had won that election. as any american sint
they absolutely have to push back with the facts and the truth. right now the republican party has accepted a false bargain of being completely complicit in the rants of an unhinged man who is attacking the foundations of our law and order in this country. you can t sit back and respond in silence. otherwise the loudest voices in the room will get the most attention. unfortunately these are people who believe in conspiracy theories and lies. this is a purposeful tactic. donald trump knows this. his only defense is in a court of public opinion, not a court of law. he s been unsuccessful with these attempts in a court of law in the past. he was unsuccessful with his attempts to claim election fraud across the country, 60-plus cases defeated. you saw what rudy giuliani did in the court of public opinion in 2020, trying to put out falsehoods. he didn t say those things in court because there are consequences to that in a court of law. this absolutely needs to be a
