apnews.com/article/arizona-fake-electors-charges-2020-election-indictment-747677165e1f1d34ac47e8a6fec2bace

Quick Glance: 11 Republican 'Fake Electors' Charged in Arizona

Eleven Republicans were charged in Arizona for falsely claiming that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election in Arizona against Joe Biden.

They met in Phoenix to sign a certificate declaring Trump had won the state. The document was sent to Congress and the National Archives but ignored.

The Arizona charges follow indictments against fake electors in Nevada, Michigan, and Georgia.

The charges allege conspiracy, fraud, and forgery as they falsely declared Trump as the winner in Arizona despite Biden's victory by over 10,000 votes.

Conservative Justices Take Argument Over Trump’s Immunity in Unexpected Direction - The New York Times

Quick Glance: Trump's Disregard for Democratic Principles

Donald Trump's claim of absolute immunity for criminal acts as president is an assault on common sense and a perversion of the fundamental principle of American democracy.

The Supreme Court's decision to take the case may delay the former president's trial and deprive the public of the right to know if he attempted to undermine the sacred process of presidential succession.

The Supreme Court's direct intervention in the 2024 presidential election deprives voters of critical information and could lead to a constitutional crisis if Trump is re-elected and convicted.

The notion that the president is above the law and can pardon himself is a radical contempt for republican government, revealing Trump's vision of unchecked royal power.

Federal judge upholds verdict in E. Jean Carroll case and denies Trump’s motion for a new trial

cnn.com/2024/04/25/politics/federal-judge-upholds-e-jean-carroll-verdict/

Quick Glance: Court Rejects Trump's Bid for New Trial Against E. Jean Carroll

A federal judge rejected former President Donald Trump’s request for a new trial—or to throw out the $83.3 million defamation ruling—against writer E. Jean Carroll, marking the latest legal loss for the former president.

In the Thursday ruling rejecting the request for a new trial or the judgment to be dismissed, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Trump’s argument was “without merit,” made “conspicuously without success” and “defies common sense.”

Robbie Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer, told Forbes in a statement they are “pleased with though not surprised by” the court’s decision, adding the award was “entirely reasonable” because of Trump’s continued defamation, “hatred and disdain.”

In January, a jury determined Trump had to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages after she accused him of sexual assault. Previously, another jury found Trump liable for sexual assault in the 1990s and subsequent defamation, ordering him to pay $5 million.

Quick Glance: Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 Rape Conviction Overturned

New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, disappointing those who celebrated historic gains during the #MeToo era.

The ruling was based on legal technicalities and did not exonerate Weinstein's behavior, according to #MeToo advocates.

Weinstein, convicted in Los Angeles for another rape, will face retrial in New York, despite remaining in prison.

The court criticized the admission of uncharged sexual acts as evidence, deeming it an abuse of judicial discretion.

Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order

Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.

Quick Glance: Investigation into International Drug Cartel in Bosnia; Suspicions Against Police Officials

The U.S. government identified Edin "Tito" Gačanin in March 2023 as a significant player in the global cocaine trade.

Gačanin's connections extended to Raffaele Imperiale, who was arrested in 2021 - a well-known figure in the Camorra, one of Italy’s largest organized crime networks.

The police operation on Monday targeted individuals suspected of involvement in organized crime, the illicit trafficking of substantial drug quantities, money laundering, and related offenses, in three cities.

It is reported that the cartel recruited many individuals from Bosnia and Herzegovina and neighboring countries to establish businesses in the Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, to launder the proceeds of its billion-dollar drug trafficking operations.

Rudy Giuliani, a former lawyer for Donald Trump, is among 18 individuals indicted in Arizona for allegedly illegally attempting to claim the state's 2020 electoral votes for the former US president, with Trump identified as an unindicted co-conspirator.

The indictment in Maricopa County Superior Court lists 11 defendants and redacts the names of seven others. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes stated that these names would be disclosed after serving all defendants with the indictment.

The indictment alleges that the defendants pressured state officials to change election results, including fraud, forgery, and conspiracy, carrying potential sentences ranging from six months to over 12 years upon conviction.

Several individuals posing as electors for Trump have been charged in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada. The fake elector scheme is also a focal point in the federal case against Trump led by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Quick Glance: Summer Lee Secures Key Victory in Pennsylvania Primary

Pennsylvania congresswoman Summer Lee successfully navigated a primary challenge on Tuesday, securing progressives one of their most crucial wins of this election cycle while preparing for an influx of pro-Israel funding targeting candidates supportive of a ceasefire.

During the primaries, Lee emerged victorious against local council member Bhavini Patel, who had raised concerns about the stance of the progressive “Squad” member on the Gaza ceasefire.

The resonance of this argument was evident among many of Lee’s supporters and local Democratic figures. The Allegheny County Democratic party formally endorsed Lee in February, marking their support for her for the first time after having backed her opponent in the 2022 primaries.

Despite the pro-Israel lobby staying out of the picture, a Super Pac intervened in Lee’s primary to bolster Patel’s campaign. The Moderate Pac, with a mission to back centrist Democrats and significant funding from Republican megadonor Jeffrey Yass, allocated over $600,000 to support Patel.

Quick Glance: US Government Agrees to $138.7M Settlement Over FBI's Mishandling of Larry Nassar Assault Allegations

The U.S. Justice Department announced a $138.7 million settlement with over 100 individuals who accused the FBI of mishandling sexual assault allegations against Larry Nassar in 2015 and 2016.

A total of $1 billion has now been allocated by various organizations to compensate numerous women who were victims of Nassar's assaults disguised as sports injury treatments.

FBI Director Christopher Wray expressed regret for the agency's inaction despite being aware of allegations against Nassar for over a year, emphasizing the need for accountability and justice for the survivors.

The settlements aim to provide critical support for the victims of Nassar's crimes to aid in their healing process, with the Justice Department agreeing to settle 139 claims in response to the agreement.

Quick Glance: South Korean Woman Falls Victim to $50k Elon Musk Deepfake Scam

A South Korean woman was convinced to invest 70 million won ($50,770) after watching a fabricated video portraying someone who looked like Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, as reported locally on Tuesday.

Jeong Ji-sun, identified by the pseudonym at KBS, disclosed her experience as a victim of a romance scam on KBS's 'In-Depth 60 Minutes.' During the episode on April 19, Jeong narrated her initial interactions with the scammer posing as Musk.

Jeong's initial hesitations dissipated swiftly. The scammer forwarded his identification and a workplace photo to Jeong. Moreover, he discussed aspects such as his children and commuting to Tesla or SpaceX via helicopter. He further mentioned his sporadic outreach to fans.

The program highlighted the prevalent use of AI in these romance scams. The swindler engaged in a form of deception known as 'pig butchering,' as explained by the producer. This approach involves gradually enticing victims to increase their contributions to an apparently legitimate investment before the perpetrator vanishes.
