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.

Laurence Fox told to pay £180,000 in libel damages: Mrs Justice Collins Rice says the actor's comments were "gross, groundless and indefensible".

bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68899248

Quick Glance: Laurence Fox ordered to pay damages for libel

Actor-turned-politician Laurence Fox has been instructed to pay £90,000 in damages to two individuals he labeled as 'paedophiles' on social media.

Following a libel dispute in the High Court, he is now required to pay a total of £180,000.

During an exchange over Sainsbury's decision to recognize Black History Month in October 2020, Fox referred to Mr. Blake and Crystal as 'paedophiles.'

In a prior ruling in January, Fox's counterclaims were rejected, and judgment was made in favor of Mr. Blake and Mr. Seymour.

'I'm happy to debate him': US President Joe Biden said that he would participate in a debate with Donald Trump, his Republican opponent in November's election

reut.rs/3Qn2gRX

Quick Glance: Fact Check: Biden Repeats Claim of Arrest for Defending Civil Rights. Still No Evidence

President Joe Biden reiterated his story of allegedly trying to defend the civil rights of Black Americans on 'The Howard Stern Show.' However, there is no evidence to support his claim of ever being arrested at a civil rights protest, as noted by 'The Washington Post' and 'PolitiFact.'

Biden has told the story of his supposed presence at a specific protest in Delaware at least twice without mentioning an arrest. He stated that the police simply took him home on that day.

It is impossible to prove definitively whether Biden was present at this or a similar protest over 60 years ago. He has also made other false claims about his personal life in the past.

Biden falsely claimed to have 'driven an 18-wheeler' and that he never earned $400,000 in a year. During his 2020 presidential campaign, he claimed to have been 'arrested' as a US senator while trying to visit South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela in prison, which turned out to be untrue.

Quick Glance: Giuliani, 17 Others Indicted in Arizona for Fake Elector Scheme; Trump Named Co-Conspirator

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: 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.

Conservative Justices Take Argument Over Trump’s Immunity in Unexpected Direction

nytimes.com/2024/04/26/us/politics/supreme-court-trump-immunity-election.html

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.

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: Court Rejects Delayed ANC Bid to Block Use of MK Trademark by Zuma's MK Party

The KwaZulu-Natal High Court has dismissed the ANC’s bid to prohibit Jacob Zuma’s MK party from using the names and symbols of its disbanded anti-apartheid military wing.

The judgment handed down allows the recently-established MK party, led by former president Jacob Zuma, to use the 'uMkhonto we Sizwe' name and symbols.

The judgment highlighted that the ANC only considered the consequences of the name and symbols' use after Zuma publicly declared his support for the MK party.

The court deemed the ANC's delayed application as 'self-created' due to the responsibility falling on party secretary general Fikile Mbalula to ensure timely action.

South Africa election: Mbeki promises to rid ANC of 'rotten apples': South Africa's former president hits out at corruption within the governing party.

bbc.com/news/articles/cd18rkxx64no

Quick Glance: Support for South Africa's ANC around 40% before elections

An Ipsos poll revealed that support for South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) has dropped to just over 40%, weeks before an election that could bring about significant political change.

While the ANC is still expected to secure the most votes on May 29, falling below 50% would require seeking coalition partners to govern, marking the first such alliance since Nelson Mandela led the party to power 30 years ago.

The survey was based on face-to-face interviews with 2,545 registered voters across all nine provinces in March and April, boasting a margin of error of 1.9% at a 95% confidence level.

The poll also highlighted rising voter discontent due to issues like unemployment, corruption, crime, and poor services, with the ANC considering potential coalition partners such as the economically liberal DA and the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

Quick Glance: Gateway Pundit Files Bankruptcy Amid Election Fraud Defamation

The Gateway Pundit, known for spreading falsehoods and conspiracy theories, has filed for bankruptcy and is facing multiple defamation lawsuits.

The owners, Jim and Joe Hoft, are dealing with lawsuits from Georgia election workers and a former Dominion Voting Systems official.

Jim Hoft stated that the bankruptcy is to consolidate lawsuits, although Chapter 11 bankruptcies are primarily meant to assist small businesses in restructuring.

Despite delays, legal proceedings have significant impacts on sites like Infowars and The Gateway Pundit, as juries do not tolerate powerful individuals spreading lies and disrupting lives.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

India to Repeat Voting at Polling Sites Hit by Violence: The attacks occurred in Manipur, a northeastern state that has been troubled by ethnic unrest ...

Quick Glance: Election Redo in Manipur Due to Violence

In Manipur, a northeastern state troubled by ethnic unrest, voting booths were raided and fake ballots were cast.

India's election authorities have instructed officials to redo voting at various polling locations in the troubled northeastern state of Manipur after armed men attacked polling stations and seized voting booths despite the presence of paramilitary soldiers.

The conflict in Manipur, which began last May, has essentially divided the region, home to about three million people, pitting two ethnic groups against each other: the mostly Hindu Meiteis, who are a narrow majority, and members of Christian hill tribes known as Kukis.

Following reports from the region's election commissioner describing mob violence, gunfire, damage to electronic voting machines, and fake voters entering the booths, voting will be repeated at 11 polling stations.
