Now that Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis has turned all eyes toward her courthouse in Atlanta, the House Judiciary Committee has its eyes on her.
WSB Radio reported this morning that Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) sent a letter to Willis’ office announcing an investigation into Willis and her grand jury investigation into Donald Trump and his actions surrounding the 2020 election.
The fourth indictment against Donald Trump is what I like to call ‘Woke bigotry weaponising bankruptcy’.
Of the people sucked into ‘get Trump at all costs 4.0’, the majority may struggle to cover the exorbitant legal fees for their defence.
Dubbed ‘co-conspirators’, the group of former Trump administration employees will have to defend themselves against (Democrat-funded) claims they allegedly sought to overturn Biden’s election win.
Donald Trump has said he plans to turn himself in on Thursday to a court in the state of Georgia to face charges of election interference.
A judge in Atlanta who is overseeing the former president’s case has set bail at $200,000 (£157,000).
The agreement says Mr Trump can remain free pending trial so long as he does not attempt to threaten or intimidate witnesses.
Mr Trump denies 13 charges, including racketeering and false statements.
The victims this time are Trump and his friends. But it could be you next time, and it will be.
In the United States of America, there are roughly 3,150 counties. Most of them have prosecutors or district attorneys. Each one of these can usually empanel a grand jury. These grand juries can, with rare exceptions, meet in secret to consider indicting anyone at all. There need be no publicity at all, but there usually is. These grand juries can call witnesses and even require Americans to testify for days or even weeks on end on matters that took place years before.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is seeking 33 years in prison for former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy earlier this year in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
He and four other Proud Boys in May were convicted of entering a seditious conspiracy against the U.S. government to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election.
WASHINGTON – A Quebec woman has been sentenced to nearly 22 years in prison after sending a poison-laced letter to former president Donald Trump.
Pascale Ferrier, 56, agreed to the sentence as part of a plea agreement back in January, but D.C. district court Judge Dabney Friedrich didn’t sign off until today.
The French-born Ferrier pleaded guilty to a total of nine biological weapons charges, each of which carries a potential maximum sentence of life in prison.
Yesterday, we posted my column on Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis’s indictment of former president Donald Trump and 18 others. The column addressed the RICO conspiracy charge that is the foundation of the state of Georgia’s case, and in it I said I’d address some other issues in separate posts.
Let’s talk free speech.
I was waiting for the Fulton County, Ga., indictment of former president Donald Trump — and, it seems, a cast of thousands — with an open mind. Fani Willis in Atlanta, like Alvin Bragg in Manhattan, is first and foremost an elected Democrat and, in this era (which I hope fades away soon) it is good politics for an elected Democrat to wield the law-enforcement powers with which she has been trusted against the party’s nemesis. That, naturally, does not make for good law enforcement — quite the opposite.
Loads of commentators on the left of the political spectrum seem completely unhinged when it comes to former President Trump.
Remember the celebrity philosopher Sam Harris who embarrassed himself by comparing Trump to an asteroid hurtling towards Earth, thereby making just about any response supposedly justified? Did this include justifying the political opposition lying, weaponising the FBI, or anything really…? And then we have our own Troy Bramston who sees Trump as a foundational threat to democracy (somehow missing that it wasn’t Trump as President who was trying to lock up for life his main political opponent on charges two Democrat-voting law profs – Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley – mock).
Donald Trump is fighting back against Monday’s indictment by the Fulton County District Attorney and remains confident that he will be fully exonerated of the charges. The Republican frontrunner announced that he will be defending his stance that the 2020 election was “[r]igged.” This announcement by former president Trump was posted on Truth Social.
Here are the 91 counts Trump is facing in four different cases
Former President Donald Trump is facing a total of 91 charges across four criminal cases — including 13 new raps related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
A Georgia grand jury indicted Trump, 77, on Monday and charged him with felony racketeering, conspiracy, false statements and asking a public official to violate their oath of office.

Donald Trump was indicted on Monday in Georgia for his alleged roles in trying to overturn the 2020 election, with prosecutors using statutes normally seen in mob trials and accusing the former president of being head of ‘a criminal organization’.
Fani Willis, the district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia, secured the 41-count indictment from a grand jury on Monday, and told a press conference the indictment alleged ‘violations of Georgia law arising from a criminal conspiracy to overturn the results of the election in this state.’
Trump called her ‘an out of control and very corrupt District Attorney’, and declared that the charges were part of a ‘witch hunt’.
On his latest episode posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, Tucker Carlson explains that his interview with former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund on Fox News never aired, so he invited him back to have another conversation about Jan. 6, 2021.
Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained a search warrant for Donald Trump’s Twitter account, @realDonaldTrump, earlier this year, according to newly revealed court documents.
Twitter’s initial resistance to complying with the Jan. 17 warrant resulted in a federal judge holding the company, now called X, in contempt and levying a $350,000 fine. A federal court of appeals upheld that fine last month in a sealed opinion. On Wednesday, the court unsealed a redacted version of that opinion, revealing details of the secret court battle for the first time.
Between the Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning flagship news shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC, the 331 minutes and 56 seconds number ticked up slightly to nearly 335 minutes (344:40) on the third Trump indictment.
This new numbers is 71 times larger than the time these same networks have spent in the same time period (the evening of August 1 through the morning of August 9) on any and all Biden scandals, which remained unchanged at four minutes and 50 seconds.
The legal witch hunt against him has backfired spectacularly.
Whisper it: but Donald Trump could be the next US president. The attempt to bring Trump down via a slew of often-questionable indictments – the latest one for ‘conspiracy to defraud’ the US, over Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election – has not only dragged America closer to banana-republic territory, normalising the pursuit of political candidates through often-stunning feats of legal acrobatics, performed by an increasingly politicised justice system. It has also failed spectacularly. So far, at least.
