Trump’s New Lawyer In E. Jean Carroll Case Is An… Odd Choice

It would appear that Donald Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba is out of E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against the former president … sort of. As with every other procedural aspect of this case, it’s substantially factual, and seems all but guaranteed to piss off Judge Lewis Kaplan. And he was already pretty pissed! To recap: In 2019, advice columnist E. Jean Carroll alleged that Trump raped her in a New York department store decades earlier. Trump immediately branded Carroll a liar and implied she was too ugly to rape — an allegation slightly undercut when he examined a picture of…

Some may also be declassified and publicly revealed as part of the prosecution, although the Justice Department has not signaled any immediate intention to do so. Cannon ordered the attorneys to file a “notice of compliance” by June 20, a relatively rapid pace. Both Trump and Nauta…

  • March 31, 2023
The courtroom arguments that convinced the judge to release Manju, a tribal youth framed under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, in the recently released Kannada film 19.20.21 drew a standing ovation from the crowd. The arguments explained how three key articles of the Constitution were violated in Manju’s case.

Ulepady’s determined fight over the last two decades in several cases of human rights violations, while earning him foes, has made him a hero to many victims of state violence and persecution.…

Prosecutors seek to question Trump lawyer before grand jury in classified papers case | Donald Trump

  • March 13, 2023
Federal prosecutors involved in the criminal investigation of Donald Trump’s retention of classified documents argued to a US judge on Thursday that one of the former US president’s lawyers should answer more questions before a grand jury over objections of attorney-client privilege. US prosecutors have been seeking to invoke the so-called crime-fraud exception that allows them to compel testimony about communications between an attorney and a client when they have evidence to suggest legal advice was used in furtherance of a crime. In the sealed hearing before the chief US district judge for the District of Columbia Beryl Howell, prosecutors…
