Articles / Courts & Law / Government South Carolina Rep. Norman: Timing of Trump Trial is A ‘Farce’ After Trump’s verdict, he raised over $50 million, according to his campaign. By: Congressman Ralph Norman, R-S.C., on Wednesday called the timing of former President Donald Trump’s trial a farce and predicted he would win the upcoming presidential election. “The timing for the whole trial… is a farce,” Norman said on the “Furthermore with Amanda Head” podcast. “It’s a kangaroo court built to shift all the attention to so-called felony counts when again, they haven’t even charged him with anything.” A New York jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records during his 2016 presidential bid to conceal a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump, who also is the 2024 presumptive GOP presidential nominee, is the first U.S. president to be found guilty of felony crimes. His sentencing date is July 11, just days before he is expected to be formally nominated at the Republican National Convention. “I do think they’ll try to put him in jail,” Norman said. “I think it will skyrocket and he’ll win even bigger. That’s the silver lining in it.” After Trump’s verdict, he raised over $50 million, according to his campaign.

Articles / Courts & Law / Government Trump Lawyer Suggests Jack Smith Plead The Fifth In Testimony, Suggests He’s Complicit In Crimes “If I was representing Jack Smith, I would tell him to take the fifth when it came to any kind of testimony,” Binnall said. By: Former Trump campaign attorney Jesse Binnall suggested Friday that if special counsel Jack Smith were to take the stand, he should plead the fifth in any kind of testimony. “If I was representing Jack Smith, I would tell him to take the fifth when it came to any kind of testimony,” Binnall said on the “Furthermore with Amanda Head” podcast. I think he committed….in my opinion, very serious criminal offenses.” Some of the offenses Binnall suggested included violation of civil rights in the color of law and conspiracy to violate civil rights. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, earlier this week demanded Smith preserve all records related to his prosecutions of President-elect Donald Trump. Jordan issued a formal records preservation request to Smith in a letter. The special counsel has brought criminal cases against Trump, though both are expected to end with his ascent to the presidency. Republicans appear poised to retain the House and the subpoena power that comes with majority control. “Unfortunately for far too long, the lawyers at the Department of Justice believe that they themselves are above the law [and] that they can violate people’s civil rights,” Binnall said.
