Quick Glance: OAN and Smartmatic Reach Settlement in Defamation Lawsuit

Voting technology company Smartmatic and the far-right network One America News announced on Tuesday that they have agreed to a confidential settlement of a defamation lawsuit stemming from the outlet's lies about the 2020 presidential elections.

The settlement followed a lawsuit filed by Smartmatic against OAN in 2021, alleging that the right-wing conspiracy network 'victimized' the company and spread lies about its role in the 2020 elections to boost viewership and revenue.

OAN previously settled a defamation suit in September with former Dominion executive Eric Coomer, revealing collaboration with individuals to propagate falsehoods about the elections.

While the Smartmatic case has concluded, OAN still faces another defamation lawsuit from Dominion regarding the dissemination of falsehoods about the 2020 elections.

Giuliani among 18 charged in Arizona election scheme; Trump an unindicted co-conspirator

reuters.com/world/us/grand-jury-indicts-18-alleged-arizona-fake-elector-scheme-re-elect-trump-2024-04-24/

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: 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: Supreme Court Hears Trump Immunity Claim in Election Interference Case

The Supreme Court is considering Donald Trump’s assertion of total immunity from criminal charges over his attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.

Justices express concerns about whether certain presidential acts should be off-limits, casting doubt on the possibility of a trial taking place before the election.

The case scrutinizes the distinction between private and official acts of Trump, with the Court likely rejecting Trump's broadest arguments, potentially immunizing even acts such as ordering a military coup.

The focus remains on the legal question of whether a former president can be prosecuted for actions taken while in office, emphasizing the importance of the Court's ruling on the extent of official act protection and the implications for future presidents.

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.

Quick Glance: Giuliani, Meadows Charged in Arizona 'Fake Elector' Indictment

An Arizona grand jury handed up felony charges against Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and other prominent Trump allies for allegedly attempting to prevent the lawful transfer of power from then-President Trump to Joe Biden.

The indictment accuses the 18 defendants of devising a scheme to raise false claims of election fraud to pressure Arizona election officials to overturn Biden’s narrow victory in the state.

Only the 11 alternate electors are identified by name, but descriptions contained within the charging documents make clear the other defendants include Giuliani, Meadows, Boris Epshteyn, John Eastman, Christina Bobb, and Mike Roman.

Arizona is now the fourth of those states to bring charges against the slates of pro-Trump electors, following charges brought in Michigan, Nevada, and Georgia.

Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector

The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.

The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'

While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.

Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.

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.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: Trump's Attempt to Influence 2016 Election: Hush Money Trial Begins

An prosecutor alleges that Donald Trump tried to illegally influence the 2016 election by preventing damaging stories about his personal life from becoming public.

The trial, potentially lasting up to two months, will require Trump to spend his days in a courtroom instead of on the campaign trail.

thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4594517-trump-posts-hush-money-trial-judge/

Quick Glance: Trump Faces Landmark Trial Over Hush Money Case

Donald Trump will go down in history as the first former president to stand trial in Manhattan on criminal charges. The historic case revolves around a potential sex scandal cover-up just days before the 2016 elections.

The prosecution alleges that Trump falsified business records to hide hush money payments aimed at influencing the election outcome. Trump maintains his innocence and refutes any involvement with Stormy Daniels.

The trial will feature key witnesses from Trump's inner circle testifying against him, including Michael Cohen and David Pecker. It will delve into the Oval Office, where Trump allegedly approved the cover-up.

Prosecutors must prove that Trump falsified business records with intent to commit or conceal another crime. Trump's defense is likely to focus on the legality of the hush money payments and attempt to distance him from the accounting handled by his employees.

Quick Glance: RFK Jr.'s Environmental Colleagues Urge Him to End Presidential Bid

Nearly 50 leaders and activists who worked with Mr. Kennedy at an environmental nonprofit group will run ads calling on him to “Honor our planet, drop out.”

As an independent candidate for the White House, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claims he would be the “best environment president in American history,” drawing on his past as a crusading lawyer who went after polluters in New York.

But dozens of Mr. Kennedy’s former colleagues at the Natural Resources Defense Council are calling on him to withdraw from the race, in full-page advertisements sponsored by the group’s political arm that are expected to appear in newspapers in six swing states on Sunday.

Separately, a dozen other national environmental organizations have issued an open letter calling Mr. Kennedy “ a “dangerous conspiracy theorist and a science denier” who promotes “toxic beliefs” on vaccines and on climate change.

Quick Glance: Path to Victory: Trump's NY Hush Money Trial

The first criminal trial of any former president began with extortion, Trump should aim for an acquittal.

Charges do not concern misconduct in settling hush money with Daniels, but entering payments to conceal another crime.

The burden of proof for criminal intent is high, requiring proof for two layers of specific intent to convict Trump.

A legal maneuver could allow Trump to dismiss his defense team and recruit a new team to potentially secure his case.

Noncitizen voting isn't an issue in federal elections, regardless of conspiracy theories. Here's why

Quick Glance: Trump's Favorite Theme: Dishonest 'Noncitizen Voting'

House Speaker Mike Johnson's 'election security' event at Mar-a-Lago will focus on legislation targeting noncitizen voting.

Despite existing bans and rare noncitizen votes, the debate aims to boost Trump's presidential candidacy.

Laws from 1996 prohibit noncitizen voting in federal and state elections, yet some municipalities in some states allow it.

Trump and allies falsely claim noncitizens vote in elections, while data shows minimal incidents. The debate serves as a political maneuver and distracts from actual election issues.

Quick Glance: Poll: Election Interest Declines in Tight Biden-Trump Race

The interest of voters in the election has reached the lowest point in two decades at this stage in a presidential race.

The latest national NBC News poll reveals that the number of voters with high interest in the 2024 presidential election has nearly hit the lowest point in almost 20 years, with a majority holding negative views of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

Inflation and immigration top the list of the country's most pressing issues, with only one-third of voters giving Biden credit for improving economic performance.

The survey also highlights how the low voter interest and the independent candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could potentially disrupt what has been a stable presidential contest with over six months until Election Day.
