Justice Department seeks to revive Trump documents case

Special counsel Jack Smith is arguing to revive his office's classified documents case against Donald Trump with a vigorous defence of its authority in the first formal filing since Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the criminal case last month. In a brief filed with the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta on Monday, Smith argues that Cannon's decision to end the Trump case because the prosecutors' office lacked constitutional authority was "novel" and "lack[ed] merit." Cannon had ruled the Justice Department didn't have the ability to appoint or fund special counsels like Smith.

Oprah gets a standing O as she delivers endorsement for Harris

It was previously revealed that Oprah Winfrey would make a convention appearance tonight, but it wasn't clear what she would be doing, or whether she would endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. "Good evening everybody!" Winfrey shouted in tones she once used to open her talk show, and proceeded with a speech to a crowd in her hometown Chicago. "What we're going to do is elect Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States." Oprah Winfrey speaks during the Democratic National Convention. (AP) Winfrey delivered a famous endorsement to then-Senator Barack Obama, her fellow Chicagoan, during his 2008 presidential campaign. "Who says you can't go home again?" she said tonight. Winfrey, a registered independent, is making a direct appeal to unaff...

Trump says he’s ‘okay’ with serving potential jail time or house arrest after historic conviction

But, Trump added, "I don't think the public would stand it. I'm not sure the public would stand for it." "I think it would be tough for the public to take, you know, at a certain point, there's a breaking point," Trump said. His comments come just days after a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of all charges in his hush money trial, making him the first former president to be found guilty of a felony and the first major-party presidential nominee to be convicted of a crime in the midst of a campaign for the White House. Judge Juan Merchan set Trump's sentencing for July 11. Merchan could sentence Trump to probation or up to four years in state prison on each count, with a maximum of 20 years. For now, the former president remains out of prison as he awaits sentencing. H...

Trump booed at Libertarian convention as he asks crowd to ‘nominate me or at least vote for me’

Former President Donald Trump was loudly and consistently booed throughout a speech at the Libertarian Party's national convention, particularly when he asked attendees to "nominate me or at least vote for me." The heckling began the moment the former president took the stage on Saturday, and some of his supporters in the room tried to drown out the boos with chants of "We want Trump." "Now I think you should nominate me or at least vote for me, and we should win together," Trump said. "Because the Libertarians want to vote for me … and it's very important because we have to get rid of the worst president in history." Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump speaks at the Libertarian National Convention at the Washington Hilton in Washingto...

Judge holds Trump in contempt, fines him $13,900 and raises threat of jail in hush money trial

Former United States president Donald Trump has been held in contempt of court and fined US$9000 ($13,864) for repeatedly violating a gag order that barred him from making public statements about witnesses, jurors and some others connected to his New York hush money case. If he does it again, the judge warned on Tuesday, he could be jailed. Prosecutors had alleged 10 violations, but New York Judge Juan M Merchan found there were nine. The ruling was a stinging rebuke for the Republican former president, who had insisted he was exercising his free speech rights. Merchan wrote that Trump "is hereby warned that the Court will not tolerate continued wilful violations of its lawful orders and that if necessary and appropriate under the circumstances, it will impose an inc...
