Attack unlike any weve seen in our lives. The managers case straightforward and comments by his violence supporters to show he instigated the attack and plan to rebut the notion a president cannot be tried after leaving office. As for the defense, well, their brief begins with a mistake, a pretty sloppy one at the top of page one as you see there, the lawyers misspelled United States. Those are the ex president s lawyers. From there they argue an ex president cannot be convicted on constitutional grounds. In addition, they make a claim thats easily disproved, reading from their brief quote it is admitted that after the november election, the 45th President exercised his First Amendment right under the constitution to express his belief that the Election Results were suspect. The brief goes on to say quote insufficient evidence exists upon which a reasonable juriest could conclude the 45th President s statements were accurate or not and thereafter denies they were false. Insufficient ev

Hi, howie, good to be with you. Howie i havent seen a build up like this for a first debate at the beginning of a campaign since that 2015 Fox Debate With Political Newcomer donald trump.

of a new york city courtroom that has likely put a damper on donald trump s weekend. a nine-member jury has reached its verdict in trump s second defamation trial brought by writer e. jean carroll. the unanimous verdict, donald trump is on the hook for just over $83 million in damages. $83.3 million to be exact. it took just less than three hours of deliberation by the jury to come to that verdict. which includes $11 million for damages to her reputation. $7.3 million for emotional harm and other damages, and a whopping $65 million in punitive damages. it s a huge increase from the $5 million verdict a separate jury awarded carroll last year after finding trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming her. now, this is the part where if you have kiddos in the room, you might want to cover their ears because i think it s important to remind you that mr. carroll s case goes back to the 1990s. and she accused trump of doing exactly what he said on that infamous access hollyw
