Honestly, pretty hilarious. Thanks, sds, I needed a good laugh.

I'm sure he'll use it as an excuse to not pay them. That seems to be how he historically operates. JMO

Trump endorses Jim Jordan for speaker in Truth Social post after Kevin McCarthy's ouster: Highlights

Trump endorsed Jim Jordan for House speaker as Jordan and Steve Scalise, R-La., plan their next moves ahead of the vote to replace Kevin McCarthy.

Democrats, who voted to impeach Donald Trump over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his role in the deadly Jan. 6 attack, had strong reactions to news of the former president's possible visit to the Capitol next week.

“Criminals tend to return to the scene of the crime,” Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa., wrote on X.

“We will need extra security — not for him, but for members and staff and the personnel at the Capitol,” said Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, who was among those trapped in the House chamber during the Capitol attack.

Sad that what Escobar says is very true

So he has filed to dismiss this case, while simultaneously filing in FL to postpone the classified documents case stating that he will be too busy with the DC case ... the one he has just filed to dismiss.

A coalition of media outlets is pushing the judge overseeing the election interference case of former President Trump to allow cameras in the courtroom — asking for an unprecedented shift in the federal court system.

“We have never, in the history of our Nation, had a federal criminal trial that warrants audiovisual access more than the federal prosecution of former President Trump for allegedly trying to subvert the will of the people,” according to the application, which was filed Thursday and first reported Friday.

“The prosecution of a former president, now a presidential contender, on charges of subverting the electoral process, presents the strongest possible circumstances for continuous public oversight of the justice system.”

Trump Organization CFO testifies in fraud trial: Live

Special counsel wants deadline for Trump to declare ‘advice of counsel’ defence in election conspiracy case​

In a new court filing, Special Counsel Jack Smith has asked the court to set a deadline for Donald Trump to declare if he will be using an “advice of counsel” defence in his federal 2020 election conspiracy criminal case.

If the former president is going to defend himself in this way, Smith says the prosecution is entitled to additional evidence and discovery. Trump lawyers have indicated in the media that they may pursue this line of defence.

“At least 25 witnesses withheld information, communications, and documents based on assertions of the attorney-client privilege,” the filing states.

Smith wants to keep the case moving swiftly and still wants the trial to begin in May 2024.

"NEW: Trump's team has moved to issue several pre-trial subpoenas for 'missing' documents from the Jan. 6 committee. In a footnote, however, they tell Judge Chutkan that they're not positive the documents they seek aren't in the government's discovery. 1/

Instead, they tell her they have a 'good faith basis' for believing they don't have them--and then fail to explain what steps they took to develop said 'good faith basis.' 'Trust me' is rarely a good strategy with a federal judge. 2/"

Translated ... "we don't want to look through all the documents already provided, so just give them to us separately. That should delay things a little bit more".
