Trump tells court he has 'absolute immunity' against Eric Swalwell's Jan. 6 lawsuit
Attorneys for Donald Trump argued in a court filing this week that the former president cannot be sued for his role in inciting a violent insurrection on Jan. 6 because
he has "absolute immunity" granted by the U.S. Cons ution.
"The claims against former President Trump directly contravene the absolute immunity conveyed on the President by the Cons ution as a key principle of separation of powers," the memo states.
"It is well recognized that rousing and controversial speeches are a key function of the presidency.
That is especially true when, as is the case here, the President is advocating for or against congressional action."

Trump appointees shocked and angry after his desperate payroll tax delay leaves them owing thousands
appointees from former President Donald Trump's administration are stuck with big bills after he delayed their payroll taxes as part of an initiative to boost the economy. He promised them that those taxes would later be forgiven — but that never happened, and now they're on the hook for thousands.
"'If the indebtedness is not paid in full within 30 calendar days, we intend to forward this debt to the Department of Treasury, Treasury offset program, for further collection,'
"In August, he issued an executive order allowing employers to put off paying their workers' share of the 12.4 percent Social Security tax for the rest of the year.
The idea was to boost consumer spending by putting more money in the pockets of millions,"
It was mandatory, though, for federal employees making less than $4,000 per biweekly paycheck, and
the government began implementing it in September."
Some had staked their careers on him winning re-election,
and found themselves losing their jobs and benefits when it didn't happen.

Emails Tie Top Trump Exec Allen Weisselberg to Yet Another Trump Financial Scandal
These records show he was involved with the Trump inauguration committee now under investigation for major grifting.
Allen Weisselberg is in the hot seat—and
that’s bad news for Donald Trump and his family.
Assorted news reports have identified Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization,
as a key figure in the criminal and civil investigations of the Trump business being conducted by the New York attorney general and the Manhattan district attorney,
Weisselberg himself is being criminally investigated for possible tax fraud,
raising the prospect that investigators are looking to flip the longtime Trump executive into a cooperating witness.
Now there’s more trouble for Weisselberg and Trump World.

could be facing greater legal peril for obstruction of justice than for the underlying crimes that started the investigation,
Jennifer Weisselberg said she is being evicted by her former father-in-law during a Thursday interview
a court wouldn't evict somebody in seven days, but the idea that he's trying to do this,
amounts to witness tampering.
It amounts to obstruction of justice and
what it comes down to is whether he is doing it with a corrupt intent, an improper purpose," Akerman said.
"Meaning, that
he is doing it to silence her or
to, somehow, influence her testimony.
and that is what this looks like."

Trump booed at Yankee Stadium —
and he wasn’t even there
Supporters of the former president interrupted the game to unfurl a banner falsely claiming that Trump won the 2020 election, which in reality was won by President Joe Biden.
"Lots of booing here after some jabronis unfurled a 'TRUMP WON' banner off the second deck. (He didn't.)
Now we have extremely loud cheering as the conspiracy theory banner people are led out of the section by security,"

Judge shoots down Rudy Giuliani's desperate attempt to learn why he's being investigated for crimes
desperate attempt to learn the contents of a search warrant that was executed on his office and apartment.
"If Giuliani is charged with a crime, of course, he will be en led to production of the search warrant affidavits
as part of discovery pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16,"
Oetken also smacked down Giuliani's claim that the search warrant on him was uncons utional
because it may involve material relevant to his time as the president's attorney.
"Lawyers are not immune from searches in criminal investigations," he wrote.
"Rather, a law office search 'is nevertheless proper if there is reasonable cause to believe that the specific items sought are located on the property to be searched.
The searches here were based on probable cause,
and it is precisely to avoid 'unnecessary intrusion on attorney-client communications' that
the Government is seeking appointment of a special master."

both were unreasonably based, and all the other things, the attorney general and the kinds of --
the judges and all the things that he thought he had working for him all of a sudden are not there anymore. it's --

"This happened and this is something he thought he could avoid."
"And I'm sure he's looking for people to blame.
He's screaming at people, everybody, he's probably blaming [Allen] Weisselberg,
he's blaming his sons, his daughter, you know, anyone that's available to him," Res said.

Key Trump property at center of fraud investigation, newly published subpoenas show
"As two separate investigations into the Trump Organization heat up, a series of subpoenas issued by the New York attorney general and the Manhattan district attorney shows how prosecutors are probing one particular land deal,"
The subpoenas were issued to the towns of Bedford, New Castle, and North Castle.
The requested do ents and subsequent court filings show that investigators are
examining whether The Trump Organization inflated the value of the property for a charitable tax write-off."

the state Attorney General's Office issued a round of subpoenas in November 2019.
Investigators demanded copies of 'zoning, property planning, or other building and construction permissions' sought by Trump's firm for the property, Seven Springs LLC.
When locals fought Trump's efforts to develop the property, Trump gave away development rights for $21 million deduction.
At it's heart, the investigators are seeking to
examine if the property was worth that much if it couldn't be developed.

will Secret Service officers have to go the the pententiary too?
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump...b0ead27966342eOne longtime Trump confidant, though, doubted that he would do that, and said he is more likely to ask for additional protection behind bars than he receives right now. “He would probably double up,” the adviser said on condition of anonymity. “It would be an interesting situation.”
The statute governing the protection of former presidents does not speak to the possibility of one of them winding up behind bars, saying only that the Secret Service is “to protect” them for the duration of their lifetimes. Since the agency was assigned the task of protecting presidents in 1902, and former presidents in 1965, none has found himself under criminal investigation ― until Trump.

I hear there will more breaking news on this Wednesday at an FBI news conference.
Investigators reportedly approaching Trump Org. as if it were a mafia family.
Prosecutors appear to be treating their investigation of former President Donald Trump's business empire as if it were a mafia family, according to several reports out this week.
Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance is likely considering criminal charges centered around the idea that the Trump Organization is a "corrupt enterprise" under a New York state racketeering statute resembling the federal RICO law — an abbreviation for the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, which was passed in 1970 to crack down on pervasive organized crime — several legal experts and former prosecutors told Politico.
"No self-respecting state white-collar prosecutor would forgo considering the enterprise corruption charge," longtime New York City defense attorney Robert Anello said. "I'm sure they're thinking about that."
The law, known colloquially as "little RICO," kicks in if prosecutors can establish that an organization or business has committed at least three separate crimes — a "pattern of criminal behavior," in legal parlance. A sentence under the statute can result in up to 25 years in prison — with a mandatory minimum of one year.
Vance has even hired a veteran mob prosecutor and expert in white-collar crime, Mark Pomerantz, to bolster his team, the New York Times reported in February.

Barry Weisselberg’s ex dishes
Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg and his sons changed “dramatically” when they “came into power with the presidency,” she said.
“It really went to their heads. They were extremely enabled and had no accountability,” she said. “Weisselberg does lie. He has perjured himself with the Presidential Inaugural Committee, with most depositions.”
Now that “there is a personal criminal probe on him and they are going really hard on his children — Barry and Jack. ... He’s going to flip,” said Jennifer Weisselberg, who was married to Barry for 14 years until 2018.
