Judge In Trump's Documents Case Rejected Peers' Calls To Step Aside
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, the Donald Trump appointee assigned to his classified documents case, rejected calls from more experienced judges to step aside from the case, The New York Times reported Thursday.
Two of Cannon’s more seasoned colleagues on the federal bench in Florida, including the chief judge in the state’s southern district, reportedly asked Cannon to reconsider taking on the job when she drew the assignment in June 2023. Trump nominated her for the lifetime appointment in May 2020, even though she had never served as a judge. Of the 224 cases she’s been assigned, only four have gone to trial, and all four concerned routine matters, taking up a total of 14 trial days, the Times reported when she was assigned to the incredibly high-profile case.

Roger Stone Spells Out Trump's Plans To Challenge 2024 Loss In Secretly Recorded Audio
This time around, Trump’s team is more prepared than they were four years ago and are already on an “offensive footing” with “lawyers, judges, technology,” Stone said in the “undercover recording” obtained by journalist Lauren Windsor.

CNN Doctor Trolls Trump Over 'Dementia' Boast With 1 Simple Sentence
CNN’s Dr. Jonathan Reiner isn’t buying Donald Trump’s repeated claims about acing a cognitive test.
The former president has insisted that the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) ― aka the infamous “Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.” test he took in 2020, when he was president ― was “difficult.”
Reiner stepped in with a fact-check on Sunday.
“If you think a dementia sc
Trump has repeatedly insisted that the test is very hard, and earlier this month claimed it contains advanced math such as “multiply 3,293 times 4, divide by 3.”
Trump's Hush Money Trial Gag Order Left In Place By New York's Highest Court
New York state’s highest court declined to take up an appeal regarding former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial gag order, leaving it in place for now.
Judge Juan Merchan handed down the gag order earlier this year to prevent Trump from attacking witnesses, attorneys and others involved in his criminal trial, actions that could amount to an effort to influence the proceedings.
A jury of 12 Manhattanites found the former president guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree on May 30.
Trump is expected to appear for a sentencing hearing July 11 — just a few days before he is expected to accept the Republican Party’s presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention.
He could potentially be imprisoned or put on probation.
Biden immigration rule would protect undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens from deportation
The program, which President Joe Biden will unveil during an immigration event at the White House, would allow undocumented spouses and their children to apply for permanent resident status without leaving the country − but only if they meet certain criteria.
To be eligible, immigrants must have resided in the United States for 10 years or more as of June 17, 2024, and be legally married to a U.S. citizen by that date. They cannot have been paroled and cannot pose a threat to public safety and national security. On average, those who are eligible for the program have resided in the United States for 23 years, officials said.
Under current law, many migrants seeking legal status must first depart the United States and wait to be processed abroad, which can take years.
