Fulton DA offered immunity to 'fake' electors, asks for attorney to removed from case, motion shows
Source: WSBTV
ATLANTA -- The Fulton County District Attorney's Office has offered immunity deals to several fake electors who gathered at the State Capitol in 2020 to cast Electoral College votes for former President Donald Trump.

The revelation was made public on Tuesday in a filing from the DA's office, which also asked that one of the attorneys representing those electors be disqualified from the case.

According to the filing, Kimberly Burroughs Debrow, who represents 10 of the electors, failed to inform her clients about the potential immunity deals after they were offered last summer.

In the filing, Willis said Debrow's representation of the 10 electors has become an "impracticable and ethical mess" after interviews with some of the electors last week showed that they told the investigation team that "no potential offer of immunity was ever brought to them in 2022."

Federal appeals court temporarily blocks congressional testimomy of former prosecutor
Source: USA Today

A federal appeals panel temporarily blocked the testimony Thursday of a former prosecutor in the New York investigation of Donald Trump while the case is argued.

The administrative decision at the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals halts a deposition scheduled Thursday at 10 a.m. at the House Judiciary Committee for Mark Pomerantz, who used to work in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office.

Under the order from court clerk Catherine Wolfe, Bragg must submit his written arguments by 3 p.m. Friday and Jordan must repond by 3 p.m. Saturday, so a three-judge panel of the appeals court can decide the case.

Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, subpoenaed Pomerantz to ask about Bragg's investigation of Trump. The former president has been charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records to make hush payments to an adult film actress.

TRUMP THE RAPIST .... What to Expect in the E. Jean Carroll-Donald Trump Rape Trial
When Carroll’s legal team presents her case, the central part of the case will be her testimony that she was raped by Donald Trump in a dressing room in the lingerie section of Bergdorf Goodman.

A long-time reporter and television host, Carroll is used to public speaking and has repeated her account of the rape in numerous interviews over the last four years, in addition to her deposition in this case. Many people (not on the jury) have been persuaded that she is telling the truth.

But Carroll will be allowed to present more than her testimony that she was raped by Donald Trump.

Two witnesses (Carol Martin and Lisa Birnbach) will testify that Carroll told them of the rape shortly after it occurred, and that Carroll has had a consistent account of the rape for more than 25 years. Carol Martin may be particularly persuasive to jurors over the age of 50. She was the first African-American female local news anchor in New York, several daily WCBS newscasts from the 1970s until 1994. Ms. Birnbach also is famous for writing the bestsellers The Official Preppy Handbook and Lisa Birnbach’s College Book (which was required reading for NY-area college applicants).

Two other witnesses will testify that the former president sexually assaulted them: Jessica Leeds and Natasha Steynoff.

'Bombshell revelation of Trump election texts is 'more damning' than his Georgia phone call:'
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-georgia- ... erference/
'Reacting to a CNN report that Trump operatives were making plans to use breached voting data to not only undercut the 2020 presidential election results but also to give the GOP control of the Senate, one legal analyst stated the former president's legal woes have just grown exponentially worse...."What we have here is the unauthorized access to this privileged computer data. There is a conspiracy to acquire and improperly distribute that data. There is probably a crime of interfering with the rights of the people of Georgia to have a free and fair election."

"And this is a series of crimes, a pattern of criminal activity, then it could possibly violate the Georgia RICO statute, which criminalizes a series of criminal activities by the same person or group of persons, so there's a lot of stake here,"

Trump probe: DA urges law enforcement to prep for indictments this summer
Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Monday said she would announce this summer whether former President Donald Trump and his allies would be charged with crimes related to alleged interference in Georgia’s 2020 election.

Willis revealed the timetable in a letter to local law enforcement in which she asked them to be ready for “heightened security and preparedness” because she predicted her announcement “may provoke a significant public reaction.”

In the letters, Willis said she will announce possible criminal indictments between July 11 and Sept. 1, sending one of the strongest signals yet that she’s on the verge of trying to obtain an indictment against Trump and his supporters.

“Please accept this correspondence as notice to allow you sufficient time to prepare the Sheriff’s Office and coordinate with local, state and federal agencies to ensure that our law enforcement community is ready to protect the public,” Willis wrote to Fulton Sheriff Patrick Labat.

Similar letters were hand delivered to Darin Schierbaum, Atlanta’s chief of police, and Matthew Kallmyer, director of the Atlanta-Fulton County Emergency Management Agency.

Trump Can’t Stop Pence From Testifying to Jan. 6 Grand Jury, Court Rules
The ruling by an appeals court paved the way for the former vice president to appear before a federal grand jury as early as this week.
A federal appeals court rejected on Wednesday night an emergency attempt by former President Donald J. Trump to stop former Vice President Mike Pence from testifying in front of a grand jury investigating Mr. Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

The 11th-hour ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia paved the way for Mr. Pence to appear before the federal grand jury as early as this week.

Mr. Pence has always been a potentially important witness in the inquiry because of conversations he took part in at the White House in the weeks leading up to the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. During that time, Mr. Trump repeatedly pressed Mr. Pence to use his ceremonial role overseeing the congressional count of Electoral College votes to block or delay certification of his defeat.
