Trump’s legal team tried to keep Stormy Daniels quiet (yes, again)

Stormy DanielsBy now, the basics of Donald Trump’s Stormy Daniels scandal are probably familiar. There is, however, a new twist in the story, suggesting that the ordeal has an important new chapter.

As regular readers probably recall, shortly before Election Day 2016, Trump paid the adult-film actress $130,000 as part of an agreement in which Daniels would keep quiet about an alleged sexual encounter she had with the future president. (Trump has denied having an affair with Daniels.) The point, of course, was to prevent the public from learning about the alleged encounter, which Daniels claims happened shortly after Trump’s third wife gave birth to his youngest child.

Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, exposed the fact that Trump laundered the payments through his business to cover them up, ultimately leading to criminal charges against the former president. Prosecutors indicted the Republican on 34 felony counts, a jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts. The GOP nominee for the nation’s highest office is currently awaiting sentencing.

Trump assassination suspect demands Judge Cannon recuse from case

Trump and Cannon

Ryan Routh, the man charged with attempting to assassinate former President Trump at his Florida golf course last month, asked U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday to recuse herself from the case because Trump appointed her and has praised her handling of his classified documents indictment.

Routh’s attorneys said the “unprecedented circumstances” could create an appearance of partiality in the public’s view.

“Mr. Trump is the current Republican candidate for President in next month’s election. On the campaign trail, he has repeatedly praised Your Honor for her rulings in his case,” Routh’s attorneys wrote in the motion.

“As the alleged victim here, he has a significant stake in the outcome of this case too. Were he to become President in the future, he would have authority to nominate Your Honor to a federal judgeship on a higher court were a vacancy to arise,” they continued.

Judge invalidates key parts of Georgia election rules crafted by Trump allies

Thomas CoxA Georgia judge invalidated several new election rules on Wednesday, calling the measures approved by the state's Republican-controlled election board "unconstitutional" and in violation of state law.

The ruling, handed down by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cox, applies to a hand-count rule for Election Day ballots and rules tied to the certification of results.

Cox wrote that the five-member board, which includes three officials lauded by former President Donald Trump, "had no authority to implement these rules," and that the measures were “illegal, unconstitutional, and void.”

The Georgia Secretary of State's Office and the state election board did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday night.

Federal Judge Reverses Alabama’s 'Noncitizen' Voter Purge That Caught Up Hundreds Of Real Citizens

Judge Anna ManascoA federal judge ruled Wednesday that Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen’s attempted purge of supposed non-U.S. citizens violates the law.

District Judge Anna Manasco’s decision followed Allen’s announcement that he was removing over 3,200 people from the state’s voter rolls on Aug. 13. Under the National Voter Registration Act, states are prohibited from removing voters from the rolls during a 90-day “quiet period” prior to an election.

This year, that period began on Aug. 7. A group of nonprofits representing Alabama residents and the Department of Justice filed separate lawsuits challenging the purge.

Allen “blew the deadline when he announced a purge program to begin eighty-four days before the 2024 General Election,” Manasco’s decision states.

Judge Rules Georgia Voters Can’t Be Silenced By Pro-Trump Election Officials

Judge Robert McBurneyA judge in Georgia’s Fulton County ruled Monday that election board officials cannot “play investigator, prosecutor, jury, and judge” by refusing to certify election results based on their unilateral suspicions of fraud and more. The decision is a major setback for a Donald Trump-fueled effort to empower local officials to challenge or block election results in the state that polls show will be very close in November.

The effort was led by Republican Julie Adams, a Fulton County election board member who’s also part of the pro-Trump election denialist group known as the Election Integrity Network. It is headed up by Cleta Mitchell, one of Trump’s allies in his 2020 push to overturn Georgia’s election results.

Adams had refused to certify election results during Georgia’s general and presidential primaries this year. She was the sole member of the board to refuse; afterward, she sued, arguing that county election officials wouldn’t allow her to do her job or fulfill her oath by delaying her access to records and information that she deemed “essential.”
