Lawyers for President-elect Donald Trump have requested the dismissal of his conviction for falsifying business records, citing President Joe Biden ’s recent comments while pardoning his son, Hunter Biden . The 72-page motion to dismiss, filed in New York on Tuesday, argues that Biden’s statements undermine the fairness of Trump’s prosecution, calling it politically motivated. The legal filing quotes Biden’s remarks from his announcement of a 10-year pardon for Hunter Biden, covering all crimes charged or uncharged. "As President Biden put it yesterday, 'Enough is enough,'" Trump's lawyers wrote. "This case, which should never have been brought, must now be dismissed." Biden condemned the treatment of his son in a statement Sunday evening, asserting that Hunter had been "selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted" and that “raw politics has infected this process." Trump's lawyers suggested that Biden's remarks apply equally to Trump’s New York case, which they called a “miscarriage of justice.” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, an elected Democrat whose office prosecuted Trump for falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election, was accused in the lengthy filing of conducting “precisely the type of political theater” Biden denounced. Trump was convicted in May on 34 counts, though Judge Juan Merchan indefinitely postponed sentencing on Nov. 22, citing Trump’s election victory and continued arguments about presidential immunity. Trump’s attorneys, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, argue that Trump’s conviction should be dismissed under the doctrine of presidential immunity, which protects the president from criminal prosecution while in office. They contend that Bragg’s actions disrupt the federal government’s functioning and threaten the balance of power between federal and state authorities. “This case is based on a contrived, defective, and unprecedented legal theory,” the filing reads, adding that the charges stem from entries made in documents “hundreds of miles away from the White House” during Trump’s presidency. The defense lawyers, who have been named to top Justice Department positions in the upcoming administration, further criticized the prosecution’s suggestion that proceedings could resume after Trump leaves office, calling it a “ridiculous” proposal that violates constitutional protections. The filing also takes aim at the DOJ under Biden, which has dropped two prosecutions against Trump since his reelection. It accuses the department of orchestrating “politically-motivated, election-interference witch hunts.” In addition to citing presidential immunity, Trump’s legal team argues that the case should be dismissed in the “interests of justice.” The prosecution, they say, risks imposing “enduring consequences upon the balanced power structure of our republic” and contributes to “factional strife,” echoing Biden’s own calls for unity during his pardon announcement. Trump has likewise maintained that the Supreme Court's decision on July 1, which found former presidents are generally immune from official acts, should lead to a dismissal of the case, contending that the prosecution relied on testimony from Trump's first term as president to inform the jury during the trial. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER The motion to dismiss filing could mark one of the last actions in the legal saga surrounding the only one of four criminal indictments against Trump that ever made it to a trial before his reelection. Trump’s lawyers have asked Merchan to dismiss the indictment or, alternatively, grant a two-week stay to allow Trump to seek federal injunctive relief. Bragg's office has until Dec. 9 to respond.EDITOR’S NOTE: This article originally appeared in Parliament Today , a Village Media newsletter devoted to covering federal politics on Parliament Hill. Advocates are urging the Liberal government not to play politics with the remaining provisions under a firearms bill passed in December 2023, warning any further delay could put more women’s lives at risk. Brian Sweeney, a self-described “broken-hearted man,” whose daughter Angie was fatally shot by her ex-boyfriend last year in Sault Ste. Marie, was among those who told Ottawa reporters Monday that the government needs to act quickly. Angie was killed by a man who had a history of intimate partner violence, who, after killing her, headed home and shot his own three children and turned the gun on himself. Sweeney helped found Angie’s Angels, an organization he promised will be “active” in the next election to rally Canadians in support of candidates who back Bill C-21, the Liberals’ hallmark gun control bill. That legislation promised to bring in red and yellow flag laws by banning anybody under a protection order, such as a restraining order, from owning or possessing guns. Those convicted of domestic violence offences would also be subject to the prohibition, with officers ordered to revoke a licence within 24 hours if they have “reasonable grounds” to suspect that someone may have stalked or committed domestic violence against a partner. Regulations to bring those rules into force remain in the works, a reality that Sweeney said is unacceptable and dangerous. “Clearly, every month that goes by without these new laws being enforced in our cities, towns and across rural and remote communities puts the lives of women and children at greater risk,” he said. “I can’t bring my daughter back, but what I can do is use my grief and great sadness to help prevent other femicides." Nathalie Provost, a representative with gun control advocacy organization PolySeSouvient, expressed anger and frustration that the feds are not moving on the “potentially life-saving measures” with the urgency needed. She noted that no timeline has been given for the remaining regulations. Suzanne Zaccour, a spokesperson for the National Association of Women and the Law, took it a step further and called on the feds to bring in the provisions before the next election. She argued that if they fail to do so, all four opposition parties must commit to upholding and enforcing the measures on their forthcoming platforms. While the feds want red and yellow flag laws to come into force “as soon as possible,” the government did not elaborate. “We understand the urgency to act and are giving ourselves the means to do so, including through the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence,” a spokesperson for Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said in a statement, acknowledging that when a firearm is found in a home, the government knows “dangerous situations are more likely to become deadly.” “Working with provinces, territories and groups advocating in favour of the fight against gender-based violence, we will bring everything to bear to put an end to this scourge.” ‘Common sense solutions’ left on the table Alberta woman Tara Graham also shared her personal connection to the issue. Graham’s mother, Brenda Tatlock-Burke, was shot and killed last month by her husband before he killed himself, an incident that sparked calls for greater transparency from the RCMP and how it addresses cases of domestic violence. Graham alleged her stepfather, retired RCMP officer Mike Burke, was toxic and controlling during a three-decade-long relationship with her mother, who was planning to leave him just days before she was killed. She added there are some “critical gaps” in gun control measures that could have prevented her mother’s death, including banning firearm storage within a person's home if their past suspicious behaviour is known and addressing the “myth” that physical harm is the only indicator of intimate partner violence. “Educating both the police and public to recognize coercive control as an equally damaging form of abuse is key,” she added. “It would give victims of psychological and emotional abuse like my mother faith that reaching out to the police for help would be taken as seriously as a broken bone or black eye.” Graham also urged parliamentarians to adopt the NDP's Bill C-332, a push to outlaw coercive control in cases involving intimate partners. That legislation, which the NDP has argued will help address “overlooked and downplayed” forms of abuse while addressing behaviours that instil a fear of violence in victims, remains at second reading in the Senate. “The bottom line is our elected officials have a responsibility to act now” and before it becomes “too late,” Graham said. “I speak today, so no other Canadian will have to travel to Ottawa to plead with you, your politicians, for these common sense solutions.”

The secret to making successful financial New Year’s resolutions1 2 3 Patna: A day after the Grand Alliance (GA) put up a disastrous performance in by-elections to four assembly seats in the state, RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav on Sunday vowed to win next year's assembly elections, saying the "bypoll win is the last victory of the NDA". The NDA made a clean sweep in the Bihar bypolls winning all four seats, three of which were earlier held by the GA. Addressing a party workers' meeting at the RJD office, Tejashwi said they won Jharkhand in 2024 and would win the Bihar assembly elections next year. IPL 2025 mega auction IPL Auction 2025: Who got whom IPL 2025 Auction: Updated Full Team Squads Claiming the GA will script a saga of victory in 2025, Tejashwi said, "Bihar badalna chahta hai (Bihar wants a change in govt)." Stating the GA installed JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar as the CM despite the RJD being the single-largest party, Tejashwi wondered over the way the former ditched them twice. "The kind of respect we accorded Nitishji, none will give him. The BJP has hijacked him completely," Tejashwi said. He alleged the "double-engine" govt of the NDA has done nothing for the state. "While one engine is indulged in corruption, the other is indulged in crime," Tejashwi said. He also charged PM Narendra Modi with making empty promises. "The NDA has been in power in Bihar for the past 20 years but the state has not got its due. What happened to PM's promise of granting special status to the state? What happened to crediting Rs15 lakh to the bank accounts of every citizen? What happened to his promise to give 2 crore jobs to youths every year?" asked Tejashwi. He said the problem of unemployment has become so severe that people are migrating to other states in large numbers in search of livelihoods. Tejashwi exhorted the people to come together and drive out the "communal forces" to "help create a new Bihar" that the erstwhile Grand Alliance govt showed by turning the venue of political rallies into "employment fairs". "It was during our short tenure of 17 months that Gandhi Maidan, which once hosted mainly election rallies, organised job fairs. We provided jobs to 5 lakh people within a short time," he said.

Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco outlined the measures in a memo and report Tuesday, directing the Bureau of Prisons to update suicide prevention protocols, improve mental health assessments for inmates, and adopt data-driven strategies to reduce deaths in custody. The reforms will also apply to facilities overseen by the U.S. Marshals Service, a broader effort to address chronic shortcomings across the federal detention system. The 14-page report said the measures “will strengthen the Department’s capacity to reduce the risk of suicide by adults in federal custody and advance a culture of safety in its institutions.” The announcement comes after increasing scrutiny on the federal prison system and a scathing report from the Justice Department’s inspector general earlier this year, which found that systemic lapses—like those that allowed financier Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death—have contributed to the deaths of hundreds of federal inmates over the years. An ongoing Associated Press investigation has exposed serious issues in the Bureau of Prisons, including rampant misconduct, sexual abuse by staff, dozens of escapes, chronic violence, and staffing shortages that have left its employees ill-equipped to respond to emergencies. Monaco, who has prioritized prison reform during her tenure, has been pressing agency officials to tackle these issues, holding regular meetings to drive change in one of the federal government’s most troubled institutions. In the memo, obtained by The Associated Press, Monaco said the Justice Department must “strive to avert every preventable death of an individual in its custody.” “In pursuit of that goal, individuals who are detained or incarcerated in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) or Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) should receive timely mental health assessments and ready access to potentially life-saving mental health services,” the memo said. The Justice Department would embrace a “multifaceted approach to reducing the risk of suicide and self-directed violence” for both inmates and staff, according to the memo. “The Department of Justice is committed to protecting the health and safety of every individual in our custody,” Monaco said in a statement. “Today’s reforms—recommended by experts from across the Department’s litigation, law enforcement, and policy operations—will reduce the risk of suicide among adults in federal facilities. Simply put, these measures can help us save lives." Michael Balsamo And Michael R. Sisak, The Associated Press

VICTORIA — British Columbia Premier David Eby says 25-per-cent U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods would be “devastating” for the province’s lumber and forestry industries. He made the comment ahead of a meeting with fellow first ministers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Eby was scheduled to participate in the virtual meeting on Wednesday to discuss U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s threat to impose the tariffs unless Canada and Mexico stop illegal border crossings and prevent illicit drugs from entering the United States. Eby said the lumber and forestry sectors are already strained by a recent increase in duties amid the ongoing U.S.-Canada dispute over softwood lumber. He said after the first meeting of his new cabinet in Victoria that the tariffs are “unjustified,” and they would hurt Americans as much as they would Canadians. The premier said B.C. is a source of natural gas, wood products, minerals and other products that U.S. businesses depend on, and the tariff would hinder jobs and opportunities in the province while making “life more expensive for Americans.” Eby and Ottawa have called for a united front dealing with Trump’s tariff plan, which he announced on social media on Monday. Eby said B.C. officials had repeatedly raised concerns with Ottawa over organized crime and illicit drugs, such as fentanyl, in relation to border security. “It’s a priority for us. It has been for a while, we’ve written to Ottawa about it. Doesn’t justify the tariffs, but it does mean that we can talk about those issues as well.” Eby said Trump’s proposed tariff “doesn’t make economic sense,” and the measure is not necessary to address issues at the border. The premier said he believes B.C. has a strong case to make for the tariff being “badly placed” if Trump’s priority is to reduce costs for Americans. “I think the premiers are unified,” Eby said. “There are 13 of us plus the prime minister. It’s a big group of people with different political perspectives, but on this issue of ensuring that we’re protecting the people in our country from these unjustified tariffs, I believe we’re completely in line on that question.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 27, 2024.

“In light of the volatility in the equity markets , our NRI clients have raised some concerns about the near to medium term outlook for Indian assets in their portfolio ,” says Samir Bahl , CEO - Investment Banking, Anand Rathi Advisors. In an interview with ETMarkets, Bahl said: “Over the long term, we strongly believe that the India story is going to play out very well with aggressive reforms expected to be pushed through by the government” Edited excerpts: Thanks for taking the time out for us. We have witnessed a volatile November as markets keep moving from bullish and bearish phases. What is your call on markets? November has indeed been a volatile month for the Indian markets, driven by factors like rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, Presidential elections in the US and Legislative Assembly elections in Maharashtra, together leading to significant FII outflows. We saw valuations neutralising, with NIFTY’s PE ratio dropping from a high of 24.4x in late September to ~21.5x in mid-November.

However, we have observed a notable recovery in the markets since mid-November, fuelled by positive developments such as the Central Government’s landslide victory in Maharashtra and Donald Trump’s win in the US. Although these factors have injected a sense of optimism into the markets, we still see valuations being stretched in certain pockets and hence expect the markets to witness volatility and remain sideways over the short term. Over the long term, we strongly believe that the India story is going to play out very well with aggressive reforms expected to be pushed through by the government. This, coupled with India’s strategic positioning in the geo-political landscape are expected to be strong catalysts for growth Market might be down by about 8-10% from the highs in terms of benchmark levels. But are you getting any bargain buys at current levels? In November, the NIFTY dropped sharply to ~23,000 levels but has since shown signs of recovery, finding strong support around 23,200 levels. The index sharply recovered, gaining more than 1,000 points in just 3 trading sessions. The recovery was likely fuelled by the Central Government’s victory in Maharashtra. While most indices have rebounded alongside this recovery, the NIFTY FMCG index remains below its September highs of ~ 66,000. The FMCG pack saw steep declines due to muted Q2FY25 results and worries surrounding declining rural demand. Most of the stocks in this pack are down 20%+ from their 52-week highs. We expect the pent-up demand to rebound in Q3-Q4FY25. Marquee FMCG names are available at attractive levels and present a case for a bargain buy. Trump pledges 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and deeper tariffs on China. Do you see any impact for India Inc.? President Trump’s recent announcement of a 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian imports, along with an additional 10% on Chinese imports, is a significant move under his "America First" policy. Historically, while India has exported ~18% of its merchandise to the US, President Trump has criticized India for its high import tariffs. In the short to medium term, the tariffs imposed will present an opportunity for Indian businesses to plug the gaps left by Mexican, Canadian and Chinese products in the U.S. However, given Trump’s focus on reciprocal trade policies, there is a possibility that India could face similar tariffs in the future. Given India’s strategic positioning in the geo-political landscape, we expect limited tariffs to be imposed and corresponding impact only on limited sectors Is there any beaten-down theme that is now attractive as the risk-to-reward ratio is more comfortable? As discussed in the 2nd question, we believe the FMCG sector stands out as an attractive investment opportunity, offering a favourable risk-to-reward ratio for investors. The NIFTY FMCG index’s PE multiple has corrected more than 20% from its highs in September end. Most of the stocks in this space are down 20%+ from their 52-week highs and are trading at good support zones. We expect pent-up demand to rebound in Q3-Q4FY25. Current levels present investors with a good risk-to-reward ratio and may offer a strategic entry point for those looking towards long term gains. What are the queries that you get from NRI clients? In light of the volatility in the equity markets, our NRI clients have raised some concerns about the near to medium term outlook for Indian assets in their portfolio. Further, their primary focus has been two-fold: Understanding whether and how they should reallocate their portfolios between debt and equity in the Indian markets to align with the changing market dynamics. The impact of rupee depreciation on their investments. With rupee depreciating briskly, import led companies are facing earnings pressure and corresponding impact on stock prices. To tackle this, India has to become more competitive on the current account and more confident on the local economy. Further, this has to be backed with exponential increase in defence spends to become a global power. These factors coupled could enable India to aspire for a reserve currency status for the rupee, the advantages of which the US has been reaping for years There is too much chatter about FIIs taking out money, but they have been consistent buyers in debt. How do you think investors should read this? FIIs have been net sellers in the equity markets since the beginning of October, selling (net) an average of ₹3,800 crore per day, aggregating to net sales of ~1 lakh crore. However, they have been consistent net buyers in the debt markets with average net purchase of ~10k crore over the last 5-6 months. We believe, the factors behind this are instruments are offering good yields and rate cuts just around the corner. This should instil confidence among the investor community to look at portfolio diversification opportunities. In light of a strong dollar and its global repercussions, how do you see currency movements affecting Indian investments? The dollar index has seen significant gains in October and November, climbing to approximately 106 from around 100 in September. This surge is aligned with ongoing FII outflows and the bearish sentiment currently prevailing in Indian markets. A rising dollar index often deters FIIs from viewing emerging markets, including India, as attractive high-return potential candidates. Additionally, as the rupee continues to depreciate against the dollar, India faces higher import costs and mounting inflationary pressures. This impact is evident in the ~20% fall in the BSE Oil and Gas index since September. Elevated inflation is likely to dampen investor sentiment further, potentially leading to reduced inflows into Indian markets.
