Re: FBI searches former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate

Unfortunately he is loves a 'stunt' just as much as Trump seems to, what with the recent flight he paid for for migrants from Texas and Florida to Martha's Vineyard, using Florida Covid funds.

He's now being sued by some the migrants he flew and is being investigated by a Texas Sheriff for it too.

Although for some in the American right, those are things to be commended in a politician.

Well, Covid is over, even Sleepy Joe Biden said it on 60 Minutes over weekend. If they are economic migrants they need to be sent back to country of origin. DeSantis was making a statement sending them to Martha’s Vineyard, because Democrats don’t like migrants in their own backyard and he’s sick of Texas bearing the brunt of illegal migration.

Quote:
The Mar-a-Lago special master on Thursday ordered Donald Trump’s lawyers to state in a court filing whether they believe FBI agents lied about documents seized from the former president’s Florida residence in a court-authorized search last month, or claimed to have taken items that were not actually in Trump’s possession.

In a Thursday afternoon filing, U.S. District Judge Raymond J. Dearie — the special master — told Trump’s legal team to state by Sept. 30 whether they believe any of the seized items were incorrectly described in the Justice Department’s 11-page inventory list, which said some of the documents were highly classified.

Dearie also told them to say whether they are claiming that any items on the inventory list were not in fact taken from the premises.

Trump has said on social media and in television interviews that the FBI planted items when they searched his Mar-a-Lago residence and private club on Aug. 8. He also claimed to have declassified documents found in that search that were marked classified and were highly sensitive. His lawyers have not made similar assertions in court, however, instead saying they have not reviewed the seized materials and are unable to confirm whether the government’s inventory list is accurate.

Dearie’s order, in essence, demands that Trump’s lawyers back up their client’s claims. “This submission shall be Plaintiff’s final opportunity to raise any factual dispute as to the completeness and accuracy of the Detailed Property Inventory,” he wrote.

At a hearing Tuesday, Dearie pressed Trump’s lawyers to take a position on whether the classified documents were, as Trump has said, declassified, but they demurred.

Re: FBI searches former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate

History in the making!

Quote:
January 6 committee votes to subpoena Donald Trump

Members of Congress also say they are considering making a ‘series of criminal referrals’ relating to Capitol riots

The congressional committee investigating last year’s attack on the US Capitol has voted unanimously to issue a subpoena to former president Donald Trump, whom members have accused of being responsible for the violence that day.

Speaking at the end of the committee’s ninth live televised hearing, the Democratic chair Bennie Thompson, said: “He is the one person at the centre of the story of what happened on January 6, so we want to hear from him.”

Liz Cheney, the Republican deputy chair, said: “We must seek the testimony under oath of the January 6 central player.”

The former president could choose to attend a hearing and refuse to answer questions, as some of his supporters have done. Cheney said this silence was a crucial reason to issue the subpoena.

Trump could also defy the order and refuse to attend — though some of his supporters, including his former strategist Steve Bannon, have been charged with contempt of Congress for doing so.

The vote came after another dramatic televised hearing on the January 6 attack on the Capitol, during which the committee presented fresh evidence that Trump believed he had lost the election, yet pressed ahead with his attempt to overturn the result anyway.

Supreme Court rejects Trump request on Mar-a-Lago documents

The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to reinstate Judge Aileen Cannon’s order that a special master review classified documents taken in an FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s Florida home and private club. There were no noted dissents.

The one-sentence order turned aside an emergency request from the former president to intervene in the document review, which is part of an ongoing criminal investigation into the potential mishandling of classified material after Trump left the White House

Judge clears way for Trump to be deposed in defamation case

NEW YORK — A federal judge has denied a request by former president Donald Trump to pause proceedings in a defamation case brought against him in 2019 by an author who said he raped her in a department store dressing room decades ago.

The decision clears the way for Trump, who denies the claim, to be deposed as scheduled next week.

In the lawsuit brought against Trump by former Elle magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll, Trump recently won a temporary reprieve from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, which sent the case to the appeals court in D.C. to resolve whether Trump was a federal employee as defined by the law when he publicly rebutted Carroll’s story.

Re: FBI searches former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate

As expected, Trump's now announced he's running for the Presidency in 2024. Given his candidates' poor showing at the mid-terms, will he win the nomination? If not, will he say it was rigged?

Re: FBI searches former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate

The Democrats would welcome a contentious Primary between him and DeSantis especially if Trump loses and doesn't accept it. Of course they would do a lot better if they ditched Biden so a Democratic Primary would need to happen as well.

De Santis won't run against Trump. He doesn't need the aggro and he has time on his side.

It will be interesting to see if anyone of note goes up against him or whether they just let him run, if he wins, he wins (very doubtful IMO) but if he loses, that's him done and then the republicans can look to De Santis or someone else.

It's a risky bet because you don't know what'll change. The momentum is all with De Santis right now so it would be a risk for him to wait and possibly lose it. His time could well be now with the success of the mid-terms for him vs the candidates Trump backed, with Biden being very unpopular and with the support he'll likely get within the Republican Party.

So much of becoming President is about the moment. If you let it pass it might not come again.

So I am not sure he won't run against Trump unless it's nailed on that he'll lose.

Re: FBI searches former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate

https://lawandcrime.com/trump/the-an...a-lago-review/

Quote:
Just like any other subject of a criminal investigation, former President Donald Trump does not have a right to have a special master determine whether the files seized by the FBI are privileged, the 11th Circuit ruled Thursday.

“This appeal requires us to consider whether the district court had jurisdiction to block the United States from using lawfully seized records in a criminal investigation. The answer is no,” the per curiam opinion began.

The panel said it would not create a new rule for former presidents.

“In considering these arguments, we are faced with a choice: apply our usual test; drastically expand the availability of equitable jurisdiction for every subject of a search warrant; or carve out an unprecedented exception in our law for former presidents,” the opinion said. “We choose the first option. So the case must be dismissed.

The unanimous ruling came from about as friendly territory that Trump could have hoped for: All three of the judges were appointed by Republican presidents, including two whom he personally selected. The per curiam opinion means that they rendered their lacerating judgment in one voice, with no lead author.

All of them agreed that Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon did not have jurisdiction to hear Trump’s case, let alone issue a sweeping ruling forbidding federal authorities from using thousands of seized files in an ongoing criminal investigation pending the completion of a special master’s review. The 11th Circuit’s ruling voids the special master process in its entirely, relieving Senior U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie of his duties.

Donald Trump's tax returns have been handed over to a committee of the US House of Representatives after the former president lost a long legal battle to keep them sealed.

The Treasury Department said it had complied with a Supreme Court order that the records should be given to a panel in the Democrat-controlled House…

…The committee made its first request for Mr Trump's tax documents in 2019, after the Democrats took over the House.

Mr Trump took legal steps to block any such release, though ultimately failed when the Supreme Court last week cleared the way for his papers to be accessed by the panel.

What a Shame Democrats no longer control the House and such investigations will end, in the new session.

Re: FBI searches former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate

That's if the Republicans decide they want to continue to back Trump. Given the midterms they might try to distance themselves a bit.

That won’t end the DOJ investigations, or the NY state ones.
