Donald Trump is being prosecuted for (among other things) lying to his supporters about stolen votes and rigged elections. He whipped them up into a frenzy and then he told them to go to the US Capitol and stop the certification of a presidential election. Put another way, Trump intentionally lies to incite violence. And now he's at it again. Trump is telling disgusting, despicable, and reckless violence-inducing lies about the Haitian community - and violence is again happening. All the while, ...

It seems there's hardly a court case Donald Trump can't lose. The highest appeals court in New York has rejected Trump's attempt to get the existing gag order in his New York criminal case lifted. The appeals court rejected Trump's arguments and left the gag order in place while Trump's case is pending sentencing. Trump is circling the drain.

It looks like Donald Trump has finally brought people together, given that it seems almost everyone, including Brit Hume, believes Harris defeated Trump in the debate. Indeed, Hume, Fox's chief political analyst, said, "make no mistake about it: Trump had a bad night. This night was pretty much her night."

The more JD Vance talks, the clearer it becomes that he's one of history's worst VP candidates. Not only does he mock, and alienate almost every conceivable voter group and demographic, but he just announced (in substance) that he would have helped Trump steal the 2020 election by supporting the fake elector scheme. Of course, the fake electors are being prosecuted in states around the country, as are the architects of the fake elector conspiracy. Undeterred, Vance seems to indicate that he woul...

As The Washington Post reported, "Trump pledges to jail opponents, baselessly suggests election will be stolen from him." In advance of the upcoming election, Donald Trump is again telling the big lie about voter fraud and stolen elections and again inspiring people to anger and priming the pump for violence. Trump has demonstrated a track record for inspiring and inciting violence using his transparent election lies. Yet the institutions of government seem disinclined to do anything about it, n...

Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered that Jack Smith file a brief on September 26th disclosing all of Donald Trump's acts on and around January 6th so she can litigate which of Trump's crimes and acts might be official presidential acts and which are not. And there was a remarkable statement made by Trump's attorney at the court hearing that Justice Clarence Thomas "directed" them to raise the issue of the legality of the appointment of special counsel and "suggested" they do it immediately. If this is t...

The first hearing in DC federal court in Donald Trump's 2020 election subversion case since the Supreme Court handed down its presidential immunity ruling has finally happened. Glenn was in court for the hearing and he discusses how Judge Tanya Chutkan would have none of the arguments of Trump's lawyer, John Lauro, who tried to convince her that she should not promptly litigate the very issue the Supreme Court directed her to promptly litigate, namely, which of Trump's crimes, acts, and conduct ...

In a desperate attempt to avoid being sentenced in his New York case on his 34 felony convictions, Donald Trump and his lawyers file ANOTHER motion trying to convince a federal court judge to transfer his hush money/falsifying business records/2016 election interference case from state court to federal court. In rejecting Trump's second attempt to have his case transferred, New York Federal District Judge Alvin Hellerstein delivers what can fairly be characterized as a judicial smackdown of Trum...

Trump is forever trying his criminal cases in the court of public opinion, where there are no rules of evidence, no rules of procedure, and no rules of law. However, once his cases move into courts of law, Donald Trump will be (and has been) convicted in a New York minute. Glenn discusses why Trump's recent admission on TV that he "interfered' in the presidential election is admissible under the rules of evidence.

A jury ordered Rudy Giuliani to pay Georgia election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman $146 million for lying and defaming them, and endangering their lives in the process. Ever since the jury handed down that judgment, Giuliani has been ducking, dodging, and deceiving - in efforts to avoiding paying out on the money judgment. Now, Shaye and Ruby have filed a motion in federal court in New York seeking to seize Giuliani's assets: his multi-million-dollar apartments and condos in New York and F...

During a trip to Arlington National Cemetery, Donald Trump showed extreme disrespect for deceased military service members, desecration of the hallowed ground of their final resting place, and a despicable disregard for a cemetery employee who tried to prevent Trump and his campaign members from violating federal prohibitions against political activity at the cemetery.

In the wake of the horrific Supreme Court opinion granting presidents immunity for committing democracy-busting crimes against the American people, Jack Smith decided to seize the initiative. Rather than waiting until the litigation before Judge Tanya Chukka to sort out the implications of the new Supreme Court ruling, Smith went before a new grand jury, and presented only evidence of Trump's unofficial acts that violated the law - removing from the case Trump's acts that could have run afoul of...

Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed his appeal of Judge Aileen Cannon's dismissal of Donald Trump's classified documents/obstruction of justice/espionage case, urging the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse her lawless ruling.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is back in the news as her team files a brief in Donald Trump's appeal of the massive, nearly half-billion dollar civil fraud judgment entered against him. AG James tells the New York appeals court that Trump's appeal is "awash in meritless legal arguments" and ignores volumes of trial evidence showing that he and his co-defendants engaged in "fraud and illegality on an immense scale."

The contrast could not be clearer or more consequential. Vice President Kamala Harris has spent her entire career working for the people. Indeed, when she stood up in court as a prosecutor, she said five words each and every time: "Kamala Harris for the people." Donald Trump has never been motivated by a desire to serve others. It's clear that he pursued the presidency in the name of self-enrichment and self-aggrandizement. And he is again seeing the presidency for this same reasons, AND to stay...

As we all know, Judge Aileen Cannon - who was appointed to the federal bench by Donald Trump - ruled that Special Counsel appointments are not lawful and she dismissed Trump's federal classified documents/obstruction of justice/espionage case.

In a somewhat surprising twist, after winning 34 felony convictions against Donald Trump for his efforts to cheat in the 2016 presidential election by criminally falsifying business records, DA Alvin Bragg's prosecutors have filed a letter with Judge Juan Merchan saying they "defer to the court" on whether Trump's sentencing, (presently set for September 18th), should be delayed until after the election. Why would prosecutors defer to the court on such a weighty issue? There's a clue in the two-...
